"y/n, i literally can't find it." carter complained.

"well that's because i hid it really well." you smirked over at him.

you and carter had played this game ever since you had moved in together. you would take turns hiding a little stuffed frog. it sounded childish and was childish, but it kept it interesting and light in the household.

"well i really want to find it. tell me where it is." he said.

"that's not how the game works carter. you're the one that has to find it. pretty soon i'm going to forget where i put it." you chuckled and carter groaned.

"i'm going to find that damn frog." he said and stomped away dramatically.

you smiled and watched as he searched the house high and low. you had no idea if he found it because you had to leave.

carter did end up finding it after tearing apart what was half the place. he wanted that frog for a certain reason.

carter had always had a crush on you but he never knew how to tell you. he didn't have the guts to do it either.

now he was finally ready to do it and wanted to use something that was precious to both of you to do it.

carter was going to be setting up an elaborate plan as soon as he found that damn frog.

you came home later that evening and saw this elaborate setup. you set down your stuff and took off your shoes.

you scoffed, "carter, this is a real good hiding place."

the little stuffed frog was sitting in plain sight on the kitchen table. you quickly noticed that there was a little slip of paper on him.

"you found me, now go find the one that wants to be found."

you smiled gently and walked through the place to find carter.

you saw some light in carter's bedroom and opened the door.

your breath hitched when you saw cart sitting there with a giant bouquet of roses, chocolate, and the biggest stuffed frog you had seen in your life.

"what's all this carter?" you asked with a smile.

you couldn't think of any situation that this was necessary. it certainly wasn't your birthday.

carter pointed at the little tag on the giant frog.

you walked over and opened the little tag and read the text.

you turned to carter with the biggest grin ever, "yes."

"you'll go on a date with me?" he asked.

you laughed and nodded, "yeah, i'd really like that."

carter smiled and dropped the roses on his bed so he could hug you tight.

"thank you." carter whispered.

"you don't have to thank me. i have been waiting for this for a while." you blushed.

carter smiled giddily and hugged you tighter.

"oh, here, these are for you." carter said and handed the giant bouquet of roses to you.

"come on c, let's go get them in a vase." you said and grabbed his hand.

you both arranged them nicely into a vase and put them in the middle of your dining table.

"that's beautiful carter. thank you for this."

"it's nothing. thank you for saying yes and not embarrassing me."

both of you chuckled.

"next time, you gotta hide the frog better hart."
