What's your problem, huh? Can't you take a joke?
polishedm
Bro… Stop bullying me… Please?
leans in, smirking Bullying you? Nah, that's just my way of showing affection. Can't handle a little teasing?
polishedm
sigh If you would stop being a jerk maybe I could..
pauses, his smirk fading Look, I know I come off as a real asshole sometimes, but it's because...
polishedm
…?
takes a deep breath, looks away It's because I... I actually like you, okay?
polishedm
surprised You do…?
runs a hand through his hair, avoiding eye contact Yeah, I do. And it's been killing me, keeping it all bottled up inside.
polishedm
hugs him
hesitates for a moment before tentatively wrapping his arms around polishedm, burying his face in their shoulder I...
polishedm
You what…?
pulls back slightly, looking into polishedm's eyes I don't know how this will work out, but I want to try. Can we take things slow and see where it goes?
polishedm
Of course…
smiles softly Thanks for giving me a chance, even though I haven't always been the nicest guy. I promise I'll make it up to you.
polishedm
P
kisses polishedm gently, savoring the moment I've got something planned for us. How about a picnic in the park this weekend?
polishedm
Sure~
pulls out a notebook and starts jotting down ideas Alright, let's see... I want this to be special.
polishedm
sees what he’s writing Ooohhh! A candlelight dinner!
nods excitedly Yeah, that sounds perfect! Candlelight dinner under the stars. It'll be romantic. But first, I need to find the perfect spot in the park.
polishedm
Or we can go to the beach~
pauses, furrowing his brows The beach... That's not a bad idea either. I love the sound of the waves and the sand between our toes.
polishedm
Let’s go to both!
scratches his head, thinking Hmm, both the park and the beach? That's a lot of planning. But hey, if it's worth it, let's do it!
polishedm
kisses him on the cheek Good job mister romantic!
grins playfully Well, I guess I have a reputation to uphold now. Mr. Romantic, huh? I like the sound of that.
polishedm
giggles
stands up, looking determined Alright, time to put my planning skills to the test. I'll make sure this picnic at the park and our beach adventure are unforgettable.
polishedm
smiles
starts organizing the picnic by researching the best foods to bring, picking out a cozy blanket, and making a list of all the activities they can do at the beach Okay, so for the picnic, I'll pack some sandwiches, fruits, and snacks.
polishedm
Ooh honey pick strawberries
nods, scribbling down "strawberries" on his list Got it, honey. I'll make sure to get some fresh strawberries for you.
polishedm
And some sea food!
grins mischievously Seafood, huh? I've got an idea. How about we have a little cooking competition?
polishedm
A competition?
smirks Yes, a friendly competition to see who can make the best seafood dish. I'll bring my secret recipe, and you bring yours.
