So yesterday, I stopped at Target during my lunch break and got a pack of those chocolate mint thins on clearance.

Now, I dunno if I'm misremembering, but I distinctly remember staying at a hotel where house keeping left mints like that on pillows. So I decided to be whimsical and leave one on my boyfriend's pillow. We share a bed, and I admittedly was too lazy to actually make it, so I just left the mint there.

It was Friday night and we were up late playing video games and hanging out when I went to bed and fell asleep, completely forgetting to mention the mint.

Anyway, this morning I mention the mint in the house group chat and ask if he liked it.

LITTLE DID I KNOW: Earlier, he and our roommate (who also got a mint but actually found his) were mystified by the appearance of MYSTERIOUS CHOCOLATE STAINS all over the back of my boyfriend's shirt. He wasn't sure if it was blood, or if the cat pooped in the bed, or if he was assaulted by the Ghost of Willy Wonka. He was understandably confused.

I ended up sheepishly giving him a non-melted mint and we laughed hysterically for a few minutes. God, I love this man.

TL;DR: Tried to be cute by leaving a chocolate mint on my boyfriend's pillow. He didn't see it before falling asleep and woke up confused about being covered in melted chocolate.
