nothing romantic (story)

I have something romantic to share with you all.

My family friend's daughter is dating her best friend. They're young high school students and totally in love. My mom's boyfriend walks into her room and sees a beautiful sign on the wall reading about... nothing. That's right, it involves the word "NOTHING," but I'm not going to reveal the rest of the poster yet. All you need to know is my mom's bf is a writer, he likes words almost as much as I do, so he of course questioned her on what the meaning of the sign was. And she told him this happened between the GF and BF one day:

They'd been dating for a few months now, they're talking like they always do. The BF says, in the context of the conversation, but also slightly more random than most comments "Nothing lasts forever."
At this point, the GF is starting to suspect something is wrong. This sounds to her like the beginning of a disastrous break-up with her best friend turned boyfriend. She asks him "What?"

He responds to her that nothing lasts forever... so can he be her nothing?

They're happily dating. The GF now has on her wall a poster that says "CAN I BE YOUR NOTHING?"

THIS IS SO DARN CUTE, I had to share. I've spent the night feeling like an inadequate writer, and wondering where this gurrll found her sweet, intelligent, romantic man.
