As they approached the shark area Bruce smiled at them. Vance just thought about how pretty Bruce's face was in the lighting.

"Look at them!" Bruce let go of Vance's hand to meet with the sharks at the glass. Vance took out his phone and took a photo of Bruce adoring the sharks.

"They look cool!" Vance approached right by Bruce and looked at him.

"Look at how big that one is!" Bruce was pointing at one huge shark that was swimming past them.

"That thing is huge!" Vance was shocked at the sight of it. He was scared of the fact of that thing being 4x his size. They just looked at sharks for a good 20 minutes more.

"What time is it?" Bruce looked at Vance. Vance took out his phone and saw the time.

"It's 3:36" He looked at Bruce who was surprised by the time. Then Bruce turned towards him.

"Wanna head out? I have something special to show you !" Bruce was looking at Vance while blushing. Vance nodded in agreement and then Bruce took Vance's hand and led them outside.

"Be prepared, it's beautiful!" Vance looked at Bruce who was smiling. Vance told him to lead the way. About 10 minutes later they arrived at a bridge that overlooked a river.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Bruce looked into the water as his hair was caught in the wind. Vance wasn't looking at the view he was looking at Bruce.

"It is." Vance was staring at him; he was just lost in the other boy's beauty.

"I've had an amazing time with you these past few days! I'd love to get to know you better." Bruce was just smiling at him.

"I have to. I completely agree you seem amazing and I just want to get to know you more too." Vance was smiling back

"How about we hang out for a while just to get to know each other right here right now!" Bruce was smiling at Vance who nodded in agreement.

"What do you want to know about me?" Bruce stared at Vance. Vance was thinking about what he wanted to know.

"I'd like to know if you've played any sports or have any pets?" Vance was looking at Bruce waiting for an answer.

"When I was younger I played baseball. I played football back in middle school. I had a pet dog. She lives with my mom and dad." Bruce exclaimed.

"Interesting. Anything you wanna know about me." Vance was looking at Bruce. Bruce was thinking.

"What do you like to do for fun or do you have any other things you like to do?" Bruce looked at Vance with a curious look.

"I mean I like to play pinball. I love this machine. I have a high score on it. I also like to do boxing. It helps with my I.E.D." Vance looked at Bruce who looked shocked and then smiled.

"That sounds fun!" Bruce smiled. Vance didn't know why Bruce wasn't scared of him due to his I.E.D.

"You're the first person to not be scared of me because of my I.E.D!" Vance started to cry and then hugged Bruce tightly. Bruce hugged him back and then patted his back.

"I would never." Bruce just sat there and hugged him. Vance kept crying, and eventually, he let go of Bruce.

"Stop crying." Bruce started wiping his tears, Vance smiled as Bruce continued wiping his tears. No words were said for 10 minutes straight, none were needed.

"Thank you Bruce" Vance sat down on a bench that was behind them. Bruce sat right next to him.

"No problem V! Wanna go get some food?" Bruce looked at Vance whose eyes were puffy from crying.

"I'd like that." Vance stood up holding out a hand to Bruce to help him up.

"Let's go to this burger place down the road." Bruce smiled at Vance who nodded in agreement. The boys took off on their walk to the place hoping it'd be good.

"I'm so hungry!" Vance groaned looking at Bruce. He knew they weren't far but still felt they were so far away.

"We're not far, we're like 5 minutes away!" Bruce looked at Vance as they walked. Vance rolled his eyes in a joking way.

(Time skip to when after they ate)

(I'm skipping because I've written about them being at a restaurant)

"That was some good food!" Vance looked at Bruce and did a chef kiss. Bruce laughed at him.

"It was good!" Bruce laughed continuously. Vance looked back at him and started laughing.

"I should get home," Bruce said, chuckling. Vance agreed and they both said goodbye and hugged then went their separate ways.

I'm having a hard time thinking of when I want to make this get good because we're over halfway through with how many chapters I want to write.
