Ze's perspective


"This is your captain speaking, we are now getting ready for landing. We will arrive Miami in approximately 20 minutes, please return to your seats and keep your seatbelt on until the signal goes out".


I had paused my music as the captain made his announcement and now took my headphones off while I glanced to my left where Anthony was sleeping in his seat. He looked so cute and peaceful. I was glad that he was starting to feel better after being down for nearly the entire week. His head tilted towards me and I hurried to move closer so that he'd lean against my shoulder as support so he wouldn't have incredible neck pain after waking up. A streak of his dark hair fell down his forehead, nearly touching his eyes. I grinned, he had wanted to let his hair grow out a bit before getting it cut short again. My glance drifted off to the window and I watched the clouds outside fly by until we slowly dove in. A relaxing weekend in Florida was just what we both needed, now that school stress had begun again. We'd be staying in a lovely hotel with a gorgeous view, we'd be going for a walk and a swim and overall just enjoying ourselves. And even if it was just a two-day trip, it was still going to be a great time. I let out a yawn and checked the time - 10:32am. The entire plane ride took about five hours, so we had had to get up early this morning. But because neither Anthony nor I were people who liked going to bed early, we both had to catch up on some sleep during the flight. I was still ridiculously tired, but the excitement for the upcoming romantic weekend with my beloved boyfriend made me forget about that really quickly. I looked out of the window again, we had now left the clouds which gave the view free on a huge, but beautiful city and teal colored ocean water. Anthony had to see this.


"Hey, wake up", I whispered and gently nudged the older guy, "Look at the view!"


A muffled groan came from the Italian as he lifted his head and greeted me with a yawn. "What's happening?", he asked, blinking as his eyes got used to the daylight.


I smirked, he was too adorable. "Look at the view", I repeated and pointed towards the window.


Anthony followed my gesture and his face lit up. "It's amazing", he murmured, and after a moment of taking in Miami's beauty he turned back to me with a huge grin on his face, "I'm so looking forward to this".


"Me too", I smiled and leaned forward to place a soft kiss on his lips.


"Fucking gays", a voice behind us growled and we both spun around to meet eyes with a guy in his fourties. He had a challenging look on his face and raised his chin as if to say 'what are you gonna do about it'.


"Excuse me?", Anthony snapped and I tugged on the sleeve of his dark gray hoodie.


"Leave it be, Anthy", I whispered, "There's always gonna be people like that".


"No, I'm not gonna just let him be like this to us", he protested and turned back to the guy behind us, "I'm incredibly sorry if your poor eyes can't handle the sight of two people that love eachother". I sunk down in my seat, feeling myself getting embarrassed as more people turned their attention towards us. "But I don't care what you feel, I'm gonna kiss my boyfriend whenever I fucking feel like it", Anthony continued and squinted his eyes at the stranger.
