Together With You

You Look Amazing

Curien drops me off and I enter my lonesome apartment. I pull my jacket off from around my gray crewneck and pull a box out of the pocket. It's my cigarette box. I rarely smoke but it seems like the time. The neon lights I have setup around the apartment reveal a lightshow in the darkness, it is calming. The rain is still going hard so I make my way to the bay window to crack it open.

I take a puff and blow my smoke towards the window. I wish Sho could see my outfit, he would love it. Maybe I could buy him something nice to wear... for his date. I know I probably shouldn't but I must. I glance down as ash falls onto my sweatpants. Shit, oh well. The outside is more bearable from the comfort of my own home.

Puff. I pull out my phone and begin scrolling through. Sho posted. I open up his page and see a picture of him and all of his coworkers out drinking. I wish I could be there with him.

I shove my phone down and take another puff easing the pain in my eye. I trow my head back against the cushion in defeat. I saw the man, his hand was a little to far down on Sho's waist. I could tell they were both drunk.

Puff, honestly I feel like an idiot. Fuck, why am I so stupid to think it could work out. This guy is cute. His hair is dirty blonde and short. He seems so put together, his eyes look sharp and dangerous. This is so stupid.

Puff. The last of the ash hits the ground.

...

I wake up early and start my day. Same minty toothpaste, same hair gel. Some time had passed since I had last seen anyone. I throw on some streetwear, changing up my look. Now that I am on leave from work there is no need to dress up. I throw on some sunglasses, and a big green cable knit sweater. I look in the mirror and its only missing one thing. I can finally put my ear piercings in. I slightly adjust my eyepatch and put my piercings in. Ten of them to be exact. It's been a while I am surprised they hadnt closed. I put the last one in and connect the chain. My curls tangle around the eye patch. I need a haircut.

...

I finish getting ready and walk down to the barber. I show him what I want and the cut goes fairly quick.

"Here it is." He says.

My eyes open as I look in the mirror.

The hair is fluffy and curled at the top and the edges are all buzzed. I look like a college student. Sho would like it, I guess Curien would too.

I walk outside the barbershop and take a picture. A selfie, I look pretty hot. I'd sleep with me. What a joke. I post it, hoping Sho might see it.

Next stop the store, luckily there is one right across the street. I walk across the warm street arriving at the modern industrial looking shop. Sho has always been into the stuff. I know buying him clothes is just an excuse to see him again. But its alright. I walk in and shop around for a bit taking in everything, Occasionally feeling my phone buzz from likes and whatnot. Its been a while since I posted.

I find him the perfect getup. A pink crew neck with a small duck embroidered in the corner. I pick out white capri jeans with a couple premade rips. To go with it I had to get him new white sneakers and some gold bracelets. I've only seen him wear them once but it looked really cute.

Alright. I bring up my finds and checkout, the total being absolutely obnoxious. I pull out my phone to text him.

"Hey Sho."

He replies

"Hey Lian!"

"I have a gift for you. I was hoping we could meet up quickly before the date."

"A gift? For what? I do have some time before, you can swing by my place if you want. The address is —----_—----"

"I'm on my way now."

I call a taxi and head out.

...

I walk up the steps and Knock on the oak door. This house is slightly outside of the city but its nice. Very quaint, very sho.

"Coming!" I hear coming from inside followed by running.

The door swings open and there he is. He's wearing an apron and a headband to keep his bangs out of his face. Definitely for baking I could tell by the flower smeared across his face.

"Oh my gosh Lian! You look so different." My face grows red.

"You really think so?"

"It looks really good on you. Im also glad the ye is healing up well." His face grows red. Im glad hes as embarrassed as me.

I lift the bag up "This is for you."

He takes the bag "Come in. I'll open it in just a second."

I come in and sit down on the velvet couch. There is nice carpeting but with very few decorations.

He pulls on the apron and puts it down.

"So baking huh?"

"Yeah i'm making them for Alac."

I scratch the back of my neck trying to avoid eye contact. Sho opens the bag and begins pulling stuff out. His face lights up, so cute. Still so hard to resist.

"Wha- what is all of this for. You didnt have to- why would you?" He stands up and starts waling over to me. Click, his foot locks up with the coffee table. Suddenly I feel his body collide with mine. Landing him in my lap. Hy hand grip around him making aure hes secure. One hand is hunder his upper thigh. His legs have always felt so nice.

"Oh I'm sorry. I was just trying to come hug you." Red fills his face as he turns away. I grab him tighter. "You really didn't have to get me all of that." His face pushes into my chest.

"I wanted to" I pet his hair before letting him go. "Its for your date, I figured you could wear it."

A puzzled look crosses his face but it subsides. "Well I just finished cooking so I will go put it on now."

He rushes off.

I kick my feet for a few minutes when he finally comes back.

"Wow" I feel like I could hear my jaw hit the floor.

"Is it cute?" He does a little twirl. Standing there in the outfit I bought him. I can't contain myself. I walk up and grab his face.

"Can I kiss you?"

Before I can think his lips meet mine. I can feel him go up on his tiptoes to kiss me. My arm wraps around his waist. I love his scent and the taste of his lips. I pull back making sure i don't overstep.

"You look amazing Sho. Fucking amazing." I laugh and begin to walk away. " I should be going, have fun on your date. Hopefully we can meet up again soon."

He stood in silence as I walked out. I place my hand in my palms. Fuck. I miss Sho.
