ten sighed, then looked in to johnny's eyes in defeat.
what the small thai boy wasn't expecting to see was johnny with a sad and serious look in his eyes; but that's exactly how johnny looked at him as the older slowly said his next sentence.
"you aren't boring ten. i've known you for like not even 15 minutes and i already think that you are one of the most interesting people i've ever met, not to mention the prettiest."
it was quiet for a moment. johnny's eyes were wide as he noticed what he had said. ten's eyes were, once again, looking anywhere but at johnny's. johnny felt like the silence was suffocating him, so he decided to break the ice.
"well then, put these back on and get it into your head that i want to be here, with you, because i do." johnny smiled and dropped ten's hands.
ten would never admit it but he missed the warmth of johnny's touch as the two boys continued on their route.
the pair had been having fairly meaningless and lighthearted conversations for about 5 minutes. but as a soft, comfortable silence filled the air for a few moments, ten gathered the confidence he didn't know he had and looked towards johnny.
"so, you think i'm pretty, huh?"
johnny only smiled back at ten before changing the conversation.
and wow, ten sure liked that smile.
