Badboy and the emo reunite (BXB)

(Zane pov)

"Almost there, 10 more minutes."

"So, what's so fancy we came to the city?"

"Throughout work, I've seen some beautiful places and some not-so-beautiful places. This thought, all I could think of was you. I pulled a lot of strings to take you here tonight. This is where I went for my last mission. After I left, I came back here a lot."

"Why did it remind you of me?"

"You'll see soon, little emo, promise," we're at a red light, so I grab his hand and kiss his knuckles. He laughs. "We have a reservation first at a restaurant," the light turns green. "Then the big surprise, then another surprise, then another."

"Lots of surprises huh?"

"Just for you baby, only for you."

He smiles, happily sighing as he softens into the leather of the truck seats. I grin seeing him happy. My life's mission is to make him happy forever.

"So, I have a question for you," Shane asks. He sounds almost nervous.

"Fire away, Shane."

"This... it may sound insensitive," his voice softens.

"Shane, I'm always going to be honest with you. Please, don't be afraid to ask me again."

"Your old boss, did you ever sleep with him?"

"No. B killed pedos, he would never be a pedo. There was a rumor in the workplace, he saw me as family and people didn't understand that so they talked shit, and said I was his little fling. Their tongues would get cut out of their mouths for talking down about B like that. So no, I never slept with B. That's not to say I didn't have any one-night stands. When I did I felt like shit because all I could think of was you, it felt awful like I was using those people. But, they were using me too. "

He seemed happy with that answer because he told me he loved me. I laughed, it was so unexpected. But, nonetheless, I love him too. I love him so deeply, that he couldn't ever understand that he is my world. Without him in my life, everything would be dark. He's the light of my life.

"I love you, Zane, I do."

"I love you, Shane, I love you very much."

I held his hand the rest of the way.

He seems nervous when we walk into the fancy restaurant. The chandeliers glisten in the light, and everyone is wearing expensive dresses and suits. He looks down at his outfit, almost in shame.

"Hey," I grab his chin, smiling at him. "I took you here because the food is good, not so you could second guess yourself. Plus I got us a private room, so don't worry about your looks baby. I promise Shane, in a room full of people, you are the brightest diamond."

His face reds and he nods, he looks down grinning. I pull him forward as I walk, letting him fall into my side as he hugs my arm. I walk to a podium, a lady with blond hair tied back into a tight bun smiles at us but looks off put.

"Sorry, you have to have a reservation to get in," her smile doesn't go away, but her words are harsh.

"William, Zane Williams," my smile stays up, but I match her tone.

Her eyebrow cocks as she looks down, her eyes scan the paper.

"Sorry, no Zane Williams for today."

"Flip to the VIP page. This isn't my first time being here, I know how this little book goes."

Now she's grinning but in disgust. But, she does flip the page, my reservation being the 3rd on the list. Her grin drops. Now I grin.

"My apologies, Mr.Williams. I'll lead the way. Are you waiting for more of your party?" She gets very professional, standing up straight and fixing her tone to a soft one.

"No, just us two."

"Alright," she grabs two menus, and a tablet "please follow me."

Shane squeezed into my arm as we walked past all the rude stares. I wonder when he got so self-conscious about being himself. He used to have a lot of confidence when we were together. Maybe Jason made his insecurities come back.

"I love this place," I start talking to him, hoping to distract him. "They have the best food like I'm not even kidding," my free hand finds his hand that tugs into my jacket. "If you're on any type of diet, make today is your free day. Trust me, you'll be happy you did."

He softens against my touch and looks up at me. I grin at him.

"I have been watching my calories, trying to stay fit."

"Let yourself enjoy tonight, without calories, without price tags, without worries. This is our night baby, let's enjoy it."

"Okay," he says and we stop at an open doorway with a red rope blocking it off. "How'd you find this place?"

The rope is removed for us. "After the last mission, B treated us here. We had a VIP room and everything. I fell in love with the food, so I thought I'd take the person I fell in love with here."

"Isn't this place expensive, it looks expensive."

"Shane, don't worry about money, I don't care about the money. All I want is to be here with you, new memories and new settings. I want you to be with me forever, and forever felt so far away when we couldn't see each other. A year apart. I want tonight to help make up for that year apart."

"This is why I love you," he sighed and fell against my arm again. "Okay, but this is going to be pretty hard to beat on my behalf."

"Any date where I get to just spend time with you," the woman a few feet in front of us stops at a door. "Can top all of this," I kissed his temple, he sighed with contentment, and I was probably radiating happiness.

"Your room," she opens the door and steps to the side, I pull Shane into the room with me.

The room is sparkling with silver and gold, the Victorian wood table sits in the middle, and 4 chairs sit at the table. The room is expensive, gaudy, and bright, but Shane looked please. There was a half waterfall surrounded by greenery and live plants in the wall that made his mouth drop, and I felt so proud. I walk forward, Shane falling behind. I pull open a chair and motion him to sit.

"What happened to my bad boy? Who are you?" He laughs and sits, I push him in.

I lean down and kiss his cheek.

"I'm still here, just trying to give you the best night of your life," I walk around the table and sit across from him.

"My name is Sara, and I'm sorry for the misunderstanding earlier," She puts the tablet on a stand in the center of the table. "Please, make your selections and press "Submit Order" when you are ready," She bows and leaves the room.

"Everything is already prepaid, so eat up Shane. I plan on getting fat today."

He burst out in laughter.
