The Smiling Mannequin

Is this the real feeling of love?

"You're right. I can't lie to you. It's not a good job. Just- Just don't tell anyone. Please.." Christopher mumbled nervously. "Its okay, I won't tell anyone. I have a job that isint good either. But we should really get back to Lady and Peter, yeah?" Al replied graciously. Christopher nodded and proceeded to walk back to Peter and Lady with Al. "You guys took a bit, is something wrong?" Lady asked. "We're fine, my love." Al said taking her hand and giving her a peck on the cheek. "Weirdo." Peter whispered. "Just cause your single dosent mean you can go around and tell people they're weird." Christopher mumbled to him as Lady giggled.

They all head back to Lady's place as Christopher took his place and sat on the couch. He went on his phone to text Aunt Jessie and ask about the little ones to make sure they're safe. After he spoke with her, Peter sat next to him drinking some tea. "Christopher, Can I talk to you about something?" Peter whispered to him pinkish. Christopher looks at him and nods. As they walk outside, Christopher seems to notice Peter picking off the skin of his fingers. "So um.." Peter mumbled. "Whats wrong?" Christopher asked nervously. "I like you Christopher..it's-it's okay if you don't like me back I just wanted to let you know so I wouldn't be as weird around you." Peter exclaimed without hesitation. He looked down a little upset with himself for falling for a guy, which his father would be angry about. Christopher stood there staring at him for a moment.

"Shit." Christopher mumbled, putting his hand up his mask. Peter glances at him questioning. Christopher was sweating, sweating and pink. "I uh, I like you too Peter. I just, haven't tried showing it around you." As they stared at eachother for a moment, Christopher pulled his mask up a little and kisses Peter's cheek softly as he became flushed adorably. "So uh, do you wanna be my boyfriend?" Peter asked flushed. "Yes, yes of course." Christopher chuckled lightly pulling his mask back down. "Does that mean I can see your face soon?!" Christopher's now boyfriend asked excitedly. "Maybe, maybe not." Christopher said smiling under his mask. Peter knew he was happy under that mask because the smile shows in his eyes, and it felt to him that all his feelings came out just by looking at him. That's what Peter fell for. His meaningful glance. His beautiful eyes. And the mysterious mask. They both knew they were ment for eachother and they'd love eachother, forever.

"Geez. What took you guys so long?" Al asked. "Uh, about that, we have a small thing to say." Peter mumbled with his head looking to the floor. Lady looked at is questiongly. "We're dating now," Christopher told them smiling. Lady then soon gasped in excitement. "Really?!" "My my, seems Peter isn't single after all." Al chuckled and pattted Christopher and Peter's heads.
