Masterlist

• Him feeling super excited about the whole thing, but you’re worried - even if you are only with him for a few shows
• But getting on the tour bus and suddenly feeling at home, even if all the bunks are tiny - you try and curl up with Shawn one night, and you wake up with his elbow in your face and head in his armpit:
• “you alright down there babe” “Why do you smell of pine cones???”
• Coaxing him into exploring venues with you (“come on baby, just for a second…how can you say no to this face?”)
• And him grudgingly joining you, not admitting that it’s calming his pre-show nerves
• After the show him running up to you, dripping in sweat, saying:
•  “I’m gonna get you!” “Shawn you’re gross!”
• Playing around outside the venue late at night with the crew that involves
• Piggy back races: “You drop me mendes that pretty little face of yours won’t be so pretty anymore” “Is that a threat?” “You bet your ass” “I’ll tell you what, I drop you? I’ll let you ruin my pretty little face how about that?” “Deal” “Alright, hold on tight then baby, we’re winning this if it’s the last thing we do”
• Sharing the small tour bus shower and laughing because he’s too tall so he has to bend: “Hahaha” “Shut up shorty”
• Living in his hoodies when you’re jet lagged - you’re not used to traveling so much
• Leaning your head on his back as you travel through the airport, hoping you aren’t caught by anyone
• His hand intertwined with yours, barely conscious as he kisses your head and says “Nearly there love”
• Reaching your hotel room and crashing onto the double bed, hearing him chuckle as you groan out in delight
• In the morning sharing a bath and sleepily sinking into the bubbles before he blows some at you - making a bubble beard: “Just cause you can’t grow one” “Shut the fuck up”
• And showing up at his concerts in his merch and him geeking out, cheekily wrapping his arms around you and whispering in your ear - “Always wanted to see my name across your boobs” “Shawn!” “Ow! Don’t hit me!”
• Sad goodbyes at the airport
• Him peppering kisses across your skin as you nuzzle into his neck - hearing him whisper and repeat “I love you forever” as he kisses your jaw
• “Soon baby…I’ll see you soon”
• And departing back home, and as you land you receive a dorky picture of Shawn with the following text: Shawn x Miss you already baby x
