summary: jeongcheol goes on a date

"Jeonghan- um, this is going to be a strange question and I don't mind if you say no, but, um. Would you- do you want to go on a date this Saturday?" Seungcheol asked nervously, already feeling his face heat up. 

He had been meaning to ask that question for months; maybe even years. But it wasn't until now that he had worked up the courage. Ever since they first became friends, Seungcheol had found himself strangely attracted to Jeonghan - his angelic charms, beautiful voice, hypnotizing eyes, and overwhelming confidence - everything about Jeonghan seemed perfect. 

So when Jeonghan shot up with surprise from his slouched position on the sofa to look straight at Seungcheol with those gorgeous eyes of his, Seungcheol swears he feels as though he might drop dead right then and there.

"A date?" Jeonghan repeats, the corners of his mouth raises up slowly, "With me?"

"Y-Yeah. But only if you want to!" Seungcheol exclaims. "Y-You can say no."

Seungcheol's face was flushed a deep red, and he couldn't even bring himself to look at the other boy's face. 

"Well, why not?" Jeonghan smiled, trying to maintain a calm attitude about it although his traitor of a heart was beating rapidly. "So, Saturday?"

"Y-Yeah, I'll pick you up!" Seungcheol replied, and already he starts to count down the seconds until the day.

- 

It's Saturday morning, and Seungcheol finds himself pacing around the room and nervously flicking through dozens of shirts and pants in his wardrobe, searching for the perfect outfit for his date with Jeonghan. Though he's not usually one to be picky about his appearance and clothing, he's gone through so many outfit combinations that it was almost dizzying. 

He finally decides on a simple black shirt and jeans, not wanting to take too much time. He takes a moment to prepare himself mentally, taking a deep breath before walking out into the living room.

The first thing he sees is Jeonghan lying face down on the sofa, and for a moment he panics thinking he was dead, but then Jeonghan shoots back up and smiles a smile so pretty Seungcheol's heart skips a beat.

"Ready to go?" Jeonghan asked, brushing a hand through his hair.

"Yeah," Seungcheol says, "Um, so, would you like to go get some ice-cream?"

"I'd love to." Jeonghan replies, and he clutches Seungcheol's hand in his own. 

The pair make their way to the ice-cream store nearby, hand in hand, and make their way up to the counter to order.

"Can we get a cherry jubilee and a vanilla cone please?" asks Jeonghan.

"Coming right up," answers the cashier, "A cherry jubilee and a vanilla ice creams for the two... friends."

"Boyfriends," Jeonghan corrects automatically, much to the dismay of Seungcheol.

"What?" the cashier asks, face scrunching up with a mixture of disgust and surprise on her face. "Even though you're both... Well, whatever, they'll be ready in a bit, so please take a seat."

Although she didn't complete the statement, it was clear what she was trying to imply. Seungcheol already knew he would run into people like that someday, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

"Excuse me, what did you mean by that?" Jeonghan asked, "Just because we're both boys doesn't mean we can't go out."

"Oh, I'm sorry." The cashier says, though she says it dramatically as though she doesn't really mean it. "I didn't mean to offend. But please, have a seat, your order will be out soon."
