No-one's POV:
Zander had a mischievous glint in his eye as he tugged on Luke's arm, coaxing him out of their cozy apartment. Luke, being the kind and forward-thinking husband he was towards his Darling, couldn't help but chuckle at Zander's insistence. Though he initially resisted going to the restaurant because he was torn between work and sleep, Luke knew that Zander's plans always led to wonderful surprises and so, he agreed to go.
Luke followed Zander's pace as they strolled down the bustling city streets, hand in hand. Zander's excitement was contagious, and Luke couldn't help but smile at his husband's infectious energy. As they walked, Zander further explained his secret plan with a mischievous grin.
"Luke, my love, tonight we're going to try that new restaurant everyone's been raving about," Zander declared, his eyes gleaming with excitement and promise.
Luke raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised. "But Zander, I have work to do... Are you sure we should go out?"
Zander's determination only grew stronger. "Trust me, Luke. It'll be fun! We need a change of scenery. Plus, they have this delicious dessert I've been dying to try. You'll love it!"
Unable to resist Zander's persuasive charm, Luke relented with a laugh. "Alright, Darling. Lead the way!" He chuckled, following along with his enthusiasm.
The couple arrived at the restaurant, greeted by the tantalizing aroma of sizzling dishes and the warm ambiance of soft lighting. Zander's eyes widened with excitement as they were escorted to their table. The conversation flowed effortlessly between them as they chatted about their dreams, shared memories, and the joys of their married life.
Zander leaned in closer, his voice filled with affection. "You know, Luke, I'm grateful every day to have you by my side. You... Always push aside everything you want to do to make time for me..." Zander trailed off, placing a forkful of food into his mouth.
Luke's eyes sparkled with adoration as he replied, "That's my job, Honey. I did promise Mrs. Wickham that I'd take care of you, didn't I?" He smiled, placing a hand on Zander's that was not occupied.
Their conversation was occasionally interrupted by stolen glances and playful touches, their love evident to anyone who cared to notice.
Zander couldn't contain his excitement any longer. With a mischievous grin, he signalled over a waitress, ordering a dessert to share. Although Luke wasn't a fan on sweets, he looked forward to it.
Before Luke could start anymore conversation, Zander ordered a new sweet treat. The dessert arrived, a masterpiece of flavors and textures, and they dove into it without hesitation. With every bite, their laughter filled the air, creating a symphony of joy.
In that moment, surrounded by the warm glow of the restaurant and the love they shared, Zander leaned across the table and gently pressed his lips against Luke's. It was a tender, heartfelt kiss that spoke volumes of their love and devotion.
As they pulled away, their foreheads touching, Zander whispered, "Thank you for always making me happy, Luke. I love you so much..." He smiled.
Luke smiled, his eyes brimming with happiness. "I love you too, Zander."
In that restaurant, filled with love and laughter, Zander and Luke created another beautiful memory to add to the tapestry of their lives. Their evening had been filled with delightful surprises, reaffirming the strength of their bond and the beauty of their journey together.
