"Kevin, babe if you keep taking forever on your hair, we're gonna be late to taking pictures with all of the Northsiders." Fangs called out from the other side of the bathroom door at the Wyrm.
Kevin was still trying to get his hair looking the way he wanted it to. This was the first thing that the two of them were going to do as a couple. Kevin wanted it to be a good night. He was nervous, and when Kevin gets nervous, he eats. He knew that it was to eat something, or get whiny and have to leave to get food half way through the night, and have Betty complain at them the next day for leaving in the middle of prom. He ran his hand through his hair one last time before he headed out of the bathroom.
He saw Fangs out there waiting for him. "So, I know you said we were crunched for time, but can we just like... stop and get some food. Shit I'd be cool with just running in at Pop's and getting some burger to eat while we take pictures, or hit a drive through or something." He said hopefully.
Fangs bit his lip. He knew Kevin would get hungry, and was probably already hungry from getting ready for their night ahead. He also thought that his boyfriend deserved so much more than just hitting a drive through. He bit his lip. "Baby we don't have time." He murmured.
The wheels were turning in his head. He saw the way Kevin's face fell when he got told that they couldn't get food. He took Kevin's hand and gave it a squeeze. "Ready to go, babe?" He asked.
Kevin gave him a small nod, and the two made their way out of the bar.
As soon as they got in Fangs' motorcycle, Kevin had a hold of him as they sped off. He closed his eyes, like he always did when he was holding onto Fangs when they were riding together like this. That was what Fangs had been counting on. Kevin's vice grip and closed eyes meant he could get away with his surprise. Luckily for him, the one Taco Bell in Riverdale was on the Southside. He knew without a shadow of a doubt that it was Kevin's favorite place besides Pop's, and unlike Pop's an hour and a half before prom, Taco Bell probably wouldn't be crawling with Northside preppies.
Once they came to a stop in the parking lot, Kevin opened his eyes. His eyes lit up. "Babe... though you said we didn't have time to eat."
Fangs shook his head. "Nah. we don't have time for you to get disappointed with suck food on our magical night. I want you to have your favorite."
Kevin nodded, and followed him by the hand into the restaurant. It was a little crowded, but it was nothing but kids like them from Southside High who had been in the unfortunate situation where they were forced into giving up their school for Riverdale High. They were determined to have a good night, even if they were outsiders.
Luckily, Fangs managed to get the two of them a booth. He smiled a little. "You sit down, babe. I'll get our food." He assured me with a grin.
Kevin nodded, and sat down on one side. He was amazed that his boyfriend was willing to risk being late to something so important, just so he could have food. It made him feel special, and more importantly, loved. Fangs got both of their usual orders, and came back to their table. "A Number 13 for me, and a Number 7 for the love of my life." He said casually.
Kevin was already digging into his quesadilla by the time Fangs sat the food down. He looked up when he finally realized what Fangs had said. "I love you too." He whispered happily, with a mouthful of food. Fangs rolled his eyes with a fond smile. "Babe, I'm glad we both finally said it, but for the love of all that's holy, just swallow before you say things."
Kevin nodded, and swallowed his mouthful of food before he spoke again. "Said I love you too, babe." He said with a small smile. He reached across the table to grab Fangs' hand. "The fact that you didn't wanna just go through the drive through, or stop at Pop's, that you actually wanted to sit down with me and have a real meal, it means so amazing, and I don't know how I got so lucky to be with you, and fall in love with you." He whispered, and kissed Fangs' hand.
It wasn't often that Fangs would blush, but it seemed to always be Kevin that would bring it out in him. "You wanna know how you got this lucky, Keller?" He asked with a small smirk. Kevin didn't give a verbal response this time, since he had a mouthful of food. Fangs just saw his slight nod. "It's because when we met the random woods, and I decided from that moment when you tripped over your own feet and nearly face planted when you walked up to grab my collar, I decided from that moment that, 'Yep. That's my idiot. I gotta protect him at all costs so he doesn't get hurt.' From that moment on, I fell for you more times than I can count." He admitted. "Love you so much Keller." He said happily.
Fangs had moved on from eating his quesadilla, and had a couple bites left of his taco.
Kevin got a romantic idea. "Babe, I have an idea. Lean in." He instructed, leaning and resting his elbows on the table. Fangs was confused."Kevy, what the hell are you doing?" Kevin just grinned and picked up what was left of his taco. "I'm gonna put half of what's left of this taco in my mouth. Then you're gonna lean in, and take the other half of it. We're gonna kiss, then bite it in half and eat it." He tried to explain like it was an everyday thing. Fangs rolled his eyes with a fond smile. "Like that stupid movie with the dogs and the spaghetti that you watched with Toni." Kevin nodded. "That cinematic masterpiece is called Lady and The Tramp, and yes. I am talking about wanting Lady and The Tramp this taco." He admitted with a grin.
Fangs was willing to indulge Kevin's attempt to be cute, so he leaned in.
Kevin picked up what was left of the taco, and put half of it in his mouth. Fangs leaned in, and put his mouth around the other half. Their lips touched for a moment or two, before he gave in and bit off his half and pulled away. Kevin grinned and ate his half. "See? How hard was that to be cute. Now can I have another kiss?" He asked hopefully, even though he already knew the answer. "Of course, dove." Fangs murmured, and leaned in, kissing him again. They sat in the booth for a few more moments, till Fangs checked the time on his phone. "C'mon Kevy. We better go. We gotta get to Andrews's house for pictures with everyone else." Kevin nodded, and got out of the booth with him. They walked back out to Fangs' motorcycle, and sped off so they could take prom pictures.
