Dex stared at himself in the mirror, looking at the baggy clothes he was now wearing.
"... These are huge on me."
Dex looked at Fitz, who was sat on the edge of his bed. Fitz seemed to smile at Dex and how his clothes were quite big on Dex.

"You are kind of small." Fitz shrugged.
"But is it uncomfortable?"
Dex looked at himself in the mirror again and his heart did a backflip as he registered that he was wearing Fitz's clothes. And Fitz's clothes smelled of Fitz's cologne. Dex's cheeks turned a little red.
"N-no... I guess it's fine." Dex said, rubbing his arm with his hand.

Dex made his way over and he sat down next to Fitz on the bed. Fitz couldn't help but stare and admire how Dex looked in his clothes.
"I think it looks quite cute on you." Fitz said, gently tugging at one of the sleeves of the t-shirt Dex was wearing.
Fitz couldn't help but smile as Dex seemed to get embarrassed by his comment.
"Ugh, shut up..." Dex mumbled.

"... So, do you think we fooled your family?"
Dex tilted his head at Fitz.
Fitz sighed out softly.
"I think we fooled Biana and I think my mother believes us, but my father needs a bit more convincing." Fitz said.
"Which is why we're going to be doing stuff together for a month. I think we're gonna have a family picnic soon, maybe you could join for that, that'll prove that I really like you if I beg them for you to join us..."
Fitz scratched his chin, coming up with ideas.

"Maybe we should come up with things when we're alone, like... not at your place at least. Just in case someone overhears?" Dex suggested.
"... That's a good idea, yeah." Fitz smiled at Dex.
"Well, what do you want to do now then? Darling?"
Fitz laid down on his back as he looked at Dex. Fitz noticed the tips of Dex's ears turned red.

"Sheesh, call me 'darling' when we're around your family, not when we're alone..." Dex mumbled, glancing over his shoulder at Fitz.
"Oh, but you get so flustered when I call you darling!" Fitz exclaimed.
"It's actually quite cute to see you get all red."
"You're obsessed with calling me cute this evening." Dex stated, his stomach twisting in knots, unable to deal with all of this.
Fitz admired Dex and Fitz couldn't stop himself from smiling.

"I'm not lying. You are quite a cute guy." Fitz said.
"I mean, you have like a slight baby face, and your hair is always such a mess but in a way that it suits you."
Dex raised his eyebrows at Fitz.
"... Go on." Dex said, laying down beside Fitz now.
Dex laid on his side and Fitz also turned over onto his side. They were now facing each other.

"Your dimples are adorable when you smile." Fitz said, taking his pointer finger and poking at where Dex's dimple usually would be if he were smiling.
Dex scrunched up his nose and Fitz studied Dex's face.
"You have very faint freckles speckled across your nose."
Fitz gently traced his finger against the bridge of Dex's nose.

Dex's breath hitched as Fitz then gently traced his finger underneath Dex's eye.
"And your eyes..." Fitz whispered, staring deep into Dex's periwinkle eyes which shined so bright.
"They're a wonderful colour, I could get lost in your eyes for hours."
Fitz leaned in slightly, now carresing Dex's cheek.

Dex, somehow, managed to hold eye contact with Fitz.
"You're absolutely adorable." Fitz smiled softly at Dex.
Dex's face was extremely red. How did Alden not believe his son was bisexual when he was doing gay shit like this??

Fitz took his hand away from Dex and tilted his head slightly.
"What about me? Is there any features you like about me?" Fitz asked.
Dex gulped and he studied Fitz's face.
"... Your smile." Dex said, looking at Fitz's lips.
"I mean, you have one of those dashing smiles that makes anyone swoon, it's ridiculous but... like I said, it makes anyone swoon, so I can't help but like it."
Dex shrugged slightly.
