Third Person POV
---

It's been a few months since Kai and Lloyd started dating, and they've discovered the good and bad things that come with a relationship. Even more so, they've started to notice more and more about each other, and today is another learning day.

Coming here was a bad choice.

Not only does Kai not have any motivation to draw- well, not a lack in motivation, just a lack in confidence to flip through a notepad full of drawing of his boyfriend in front of said boyfriend, but it's not like the scenery was helping things.

The only reason he was with him is that they needed an excuse to go on another date, and Lloyd doesn't like going to too many places alone. 

That, Kai always knew. It hurt him to know that his boyfriend felt self-conscious for any reason. Something he never realized until recently though, was that Lloyd had contact lenses.

It was something he found out the first time he slept over at his house. Kai found them on his nightstand, and while he cringed as his boyfriend put them in his eyes, he never forgot that day. Partly because it looked very gross, but mostly because it got him thinking.

Did he have glasses? And, how would he look if he wore them?

Although he kept wondering, and even drew it a few times in his sketchbook, he never actually asked about it. He isn't sure why he never thought to just question Lloyd- or why he never followed through with it after Nya told him to do so- but eventually that question was answered for him.

The two were in the back end of a local library, and in the glow of the Sun outside, Lloyd's beauty was in full view.

His blonde hair was swooped to the side, as he kept fidgeting with it while he read. Either rubbing a small strand between two fingers, curling a bit of it around his finger, or just tugging at it when an especially frustrating part came up. Regardless, Kai found it adorable, at this point to an annoying degree now that his question was finally answered.

Lloyd does have glasses, and damn do they fit him well.

The lenses were a bit blurred, but somehow they made his viridian eyes brighter. Everything about him made him irresistible to look at.

And that's just what Kai did.

It started off slow and subtle, only stealing looks every few seconds with his eyes otherwise awkwardly burning a hole into the table, but now he's full on staring.

The library's silence leaves him with only his thoughts, so it's not like he could force himself to stop staring. But Lloyd's usually very locked in on reading, so maybe he won't notice.

But notice, he did.

For the past five minutes, the blonde did his best not to smile. He would catch a glance every now and then, whenever Kai would look around and see if anyone else noticed how weird he was acting. Whenever he saw the brunette fully, his face was red and his lip was swollen from biting.

Lloyd swore he'd break off his silver piercing doing that, but it was cute to see him that flustered.

Although...he wouldn't mind seeing more.

Slowly, he slithered his hand across the table. Kai's own was tapping the mahogany surface lightly, with the other running through his dark hair. With a grin slowly forming, Lloyd waited for the perfect moment to pounce.

The next time Kai looked down, he placed his hand atop the latter's.

As expected, he jumped back. They locked eyes, ad there wasn't much Kai could do to hide his embarrassment.

Lloyd looked on with a cocky smile. "Studying, babe?" he slyly cocked a brow. "You seem a little distracted."

"I- uh-" If it was even possible, his face grew redder. "S-Sorry, I just-" his boyfriend didn't try in the slightest to contain his laughter. Yes, people were staring at this point but Kai already felt uneasy enough. "Look- you look really hot with glasses."

A laugh was caught in Lloyd's throat as the tips of his ears went pink. The uncomfortable silence and slight judgemental stares from strangers went unnoticed, but the blonde still decided to mumble, "..thank you."

Kai sighed, it's no use feeling bad about it. It was true, he looked nice. "You should wear them more often."

Lloyd let out a flirtatious giggle. "Only for you."

Kai sighed again, and this time thumped his head on the table. His boyfriend was almost alarmed, but once he felt Kai's grip tighten around his hand, he simply smiled lovingly, down at the awkward-as-hell boy in front of him.

As he tried his best to calm his heartbeat, the couple kept on staring at one another, followed either by a quick kiss or low chuckles.

Was it strange? Definitely.

Was there at least one person in the library who took a photo of it? Absolutely.

Was that person Nya? Her social media page was enough of an answer.
