Ah, Recess. The brief escape from reality in the hellhole that is public school.

At this particular recess, 16 year old Sam was taking a break from playing to go sit by his buddy Max on the bench. "Hi max!" he says, smiling. Max smiles back. "Hey what's up Sam?" Sam sits down. "not much, haha."

Max was finishing up his lunch. "Say, you got any leftovers?" Sam asks. Max looks in his lunchbox. "All I have left are fruit snacks." Sam smiles. "Awesome! Wanna share?" Max smiles. "Sure!"

He then tried to open the packet with his teeth.

"M-maybe i should open it?" Sam asks. "Nah, nah, i got it!" Max says, struggling to rip it.

Suddenly, the packet rips open and all the fruit snacks go flying. "Oh no!" they both say.

The two jump around trying to catch them, almost stepping on each other's feet in the process.

By some miracle, they managed to catch all of them. They both sat down, giggling. "Wow, that was a close one!" Sam said,"yeah." Max replied.

They both start to eat. "Hey Sam, can you catch one in your mouth?" Max asks. "Uhhh, maybe." Sam replies.

Max tosses one in the air and Sam catches it in his mouth, eating it. "Mmm, lime! My favorite flavor!" Max smiles and eats a strawberry one. "I like the strawberry ones the most." Sam smiles and eats another lime one. "Ooh, those are yummy too."

They both continued eating until all the fruit snacks were gone. Sam looks at his watch. "Well, it's about time to go in." max giggles. "Say Sammy, wanna skip class and go hang out by our favorite tree in the park?" he points in the direction of the park. Sam thinks. "I dunno, we could get in trouble..." Max rolls his eyes. "Come on, Sammy, live a little!" he puts his empty lunchbox away, then gets up and starts to skip towards the park.

Sam sighs, getting up and following him.

At the old park, they had a lot of fun. They played on the slide together, sam spun max around on the merry go round, they played on the seesaw, and sam pushed max on the swings. They even had fun just chasing each other around like madmen, just like when they were kids.

When they got tired of playing, they were both sitting under their favorite tree. They were a little bit worn out, and Max leaned his head on Sam's shoulder while Sam leaned his on top of Max's. The two rested for a little while, just enjoying the silence.

"Hey sam?" Max whispered suddenly, pretty quietly. "Hmm?" Sam answered, Max blushes a little.

"D-do you want to kiss?"

Sam blushes too. "Uh... what brought this up?" max scoots away a bit. "U-uh... I saw this in a video game once..." he takes Sam's hand. "If you and your best friend kiss under a tree on a friday, then you're guaranteed to be soulmates."

Sam tilt's his head. "But today's tuesday." Max's face fell. "O-oh..."

He starts to get up. "H-haha. I knew that, I was just pran-" sam gently grabs his hand. "N-no don't go!" Max looks back at him. Sam stands up as well.

"I-i never said no..."

Max blushes again. "Y-you mean you want to...." Sam nods. "J-just once though, okay?" he looks around, then back to max. "I don't want anyone to see us." Max nods. "Sure." Sam then takes Max's face in his hands. "Sorry if i mess up..." he whispers. Max giggles. "It's ok." he says, then closes his eyes.

Sam takes a deep breath before bringing Max in and kissing him gently, closing his eyes and being careful of his teeth. He feels his spine shiver. He'd fantasized about kissing max a few times, but this was nothing like that. It wasn't wild or painful at all, just sweet and tender, yet warm and intimate.

When Sam finally pulls back, he opens his eyes to find Max staring at him with glistening eyes. He looked so small and innocent... (though Sam knew that was far from the truth.)

"U-uh, max.. You ok?" Sam whispers, softly stroking his cheek with his thumb. Max smiled gently and nodded. "Never better." He slowly removes Sam's hands, hugging his waist. "I, I love ya, sam..." Sam smiles, wrapping his arms around max. "Love you too, little buddy."

They'd have to go back to school and get in trouble eventually, but for now, it was just the two of them.
