"He said he'll be here in a few minutes?"

"Yep," Joe nodded vigorously, standing in front of his house's front door, twiddling his fingers in front of himself. His dad had somehow convinced Oliver's mom to let Oliver come and hang out for the day, while Joe's parents were both going to be out of the house. Of course, she didn't know the kids would be home alone, but that didn't matter. It also apparently didn't matter that Joe's parents couldn't seem to give an actual reason for why they would be gone for the day, it just seemed they wanted to be in a public setting together. For whatever reason.

Joe didn't really care anymore. They could lie to him all they want... all he needed now was his boyfriend.

"Oh, do you think his mom would want to make sure I'm actually here?" Joe's dad asked, coming into the foyer, his husband following him, holding onto his hand. Joe shrugged.

"I don't know. I mean- she might have to know father exists eventually... we could always say he's my uncle or something."

Joe glanced around the room then. That felt like it would've been a good place for his favorite uncle to just barge in and start hanging out, but he supposed he actually would be home alone today.

Joe's dad sighed. "That's true. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it."

"There's a car pulling up now," Joe's father mumbled.

Joe perked up and then grinned, moving to look out the window, seeing Oliver's mom's car in front of their yard. Joe noticed his parents seem to hold their breath when both Oliver and his mother got out of the car, but they eventually sighed it out when she got back in and drove away. Joe opened the front door when the car was out of site and his boyfriend was walking up the driveway.

"Hey, Joey," Oliver greeted with a smile when he got up to the door. Joe grabbed his hands and pulled him inside, and then Oliver gave him a quick kiss, prompting Joe's dad to awwe.

"Alright... you two will be fine here alone, right?" Joe's dad asked.

"Yep," Joe smiled. "Right, Oli?"

"Yep!"

"Awesome. Call me if you need anything, we'll be home in a couple hours."

And so, with a few goodbyes, Oliver and Joe were left alone in the house. The two boyfriends stood silently for a moment, staring at each other, clearly not sure what to do, as this was probably the first time they had ever been left alone together. Especially in the context of a date.

"...Hi," Oliver then said, after a moment, smiling.

"Hey," Joe smiled back. A moment passed, and then he reached forward to grab Oliver's hands, and just like before Oliver leaned in and gave him a kiss, only this time staying kissing him for a few seconds longer. Joe kissed him back and upon parting they both sighed, happily.

"So... what do you wanna do?" Oliver asked.

"I don't know. We could play Minecraft again, watch a movie, sit on my roof, et cetera, et cetera."

"A movie sounds nice."

"Cool, cool."

The two walked over to the couch and sat down next to each other, Joe grabbing the TV remote and pulling up Netflix. He started browsing, Oliver scooting closer to him and holding his free hand.

"There's always Disney," Joe suggested, raising an eyebrow at his boyfriend.

"True. I've always liked Mulan. But the last time us and Sage were together for more than an hour, we watched that, I think. Didn't we?"
