2 days before the flight

The morning came and I slowly stirred to consciousness, sitting on the bed and letting out a quiet yawn as I stretched my hands above my hands. I blinked a few times and looked over to see Kiku still sleeping beside me, I smiled softly at the sight and carefully tucked a strand of hair behind Kiku's ear. I sighed heavily and thought about Him leaving me when it's time.. I love him too much to be able to let him go that easily, It was too hard to imagine how my life would be if Kiku left... But before i could release a few tears, I suddenly felt the sheets rummaging slightly and quickly wiped my face before looking over to see that he had woken up.

"You're awake early.." Kiku yawned, yes it was rare to see me waking up so early. Probably because I haven't gotten that much sleep, "..Did you get any sleep, Al..?" Kiku sat closer to my side and placed a hand on my cheek, feeling the remains of tears streaming down. "...You cried..?" He murmured worryingly, I shook my head and laughed sadly, Leaning into his touch.

"Of course I do, Keeks.. What else would i do..? You're leaving in two days anyways.." I mentioned about his flight, though bringing that topic up hurts me deeply than breaking up with Ivan. "Alfred.. Don't think about it all the time, I'd still love you even if we're far away from each other.." Kiku muttered in concern, I shook my head once more and spoke up.

"That's not what I'm thinking about, Honey.. It's just that- I have been alone for years in this house and you're the only one that was able to keep me company.. Although you're probably still a bit frustrated about me not fixing the guest room's ceiling.." Kiku laughed heartily at the remark and rested his forehead on the crook of my neck, "No I'm sure you purposefully didn't fix it just to make me sleep with you." He teased. It's true tho, I'm too lazy to fix nor call people to do the job for me.

"Touché.." I mumbled, wrapping my arms around the Japanese waist as he snuggled against my body. "Hey.." I called out, "hm..?" Kiku hummed as an answer, lifting his head to look at me. "Wanna go get some souvenirs?" I asked, although I'm sure that he isn't interested in buying them.

"I mean sure, maybe something to help me remember you." The Japanese nodded, I smiled widely and pushed Kiku down to the bed, cuddling him tightly. "Thanks, Keeks!" I spoke up, giving a quick peck on the lips Kiku looked at me and blushed, sighing before returning the action, "You're welcome.."

An hour later, at a gift shop

Kiku was looking at all kinds of gifts he could bring home, from fridge magnets, to the literal flag of America. He tilted his head to the side at the flag, Staring at it in confusion to why anyone would buy a flag of America. I eventually noticed and walked up beside him, "So, have you thought on what to buy yet?" I asked, resting my elbow on his left shoulder. "No, it's too American.." Kiku shook his head. "but hey, it's called American gifts! You can't just think that they would suddenly be Mexican or somethin'??" I pulled my hand back from his shoulder and instead placed them on my hips. "I didn't even- What???" Kiku looked at me, why the hell would i bring up the Latinos  out of nowhere?? I facepalmed and grabbed a pillow with the flag of my nation on it, "Here, suitable to bring everywhere on vacation, AND it would be impossible for you to forget me!" I showed it up right above his face. Kiku flinched at the sudden object and looked at me, unimpressed.

"Not cool." He muttered, Awh man. "Please buy this, Pleeeeaaaassseee...?" I looked at him with pleading eyes, trying to convince him to buy this cushion. "...Fine.. Only because I have nothing else to buy.." Kiku sighed in defeat and grabbed the cushion that was on my hands.

"Yippeeee!" I squirmed in happiness and hugged him again, "H-hey no public affection!" He blushed and pushed me aside, yelling at me in embarrassment. "Aww.. But it's cute seeing you so flustered.." I pouted, tapping my index fingers together in a cringy way. "...Hun stop it you're gonna embarrass yourself in front of the peopl-" And that one gen alpha kid looked at me, "what the sigma? A femboy??"

"Call me that again and I'll kick your ass, kiddo!" I glared at the brainrotted kid. He flinched and ran away, crying to his mama probably.

Kiku glanced at the crying child than at me before bursting out into laughter, "what was THAT?!" He hics at how hard he laughed. "Some gen Alpha kid who APPARENTLY doesn't know what a 'joke' is." I ran a hand through my hair, sighing heavily at the sudden encounter.

Kiku eventually cooled down and looked at me, "how much is this pillow again..?" He asked, making sure it wasn't overpriced or anythin'.

"5.99$" I spoke up, looking at the small price tag that was clipped onto the cushion.

K- "Fair stuff, I'll buy it."

A- "Alright, I'll take you to the cashier!"

Timeskip

Kiku and I eventually stopped by at a carnival and got out of my car, "Well this looks badass, You wanna go?" I asked Kiku for confirmation, just in case he wanted to go home or maybe. "I mean a few minutes in a carnival isn't going to hurt.." He thought to himself before nodding, "Sure I'll go."

I chuckled happily and dragged Kiku into the place, "Come on, babe! There are many things you gotta try here!"

Kiku blushed deeply at the pet name but brushed it off and let me drag him to whatever shit stuff I'm gonna do.

And we stopped in front of a ferris wheel after a few moments, looking at Kiku with a playful look. "Since couples usually have their night dates here, can we please ride this?"

"U-uhmmmm is that necessary though-" Kiku stuttered as he slowly turned flustered, cutie.. "Of course it is!" I spoke up and walked up to the ticket counter, "How much for one hour?" I asked. "That'd be $6 per carriage." The cashier spoke up, "Would you young lovers want to ride this?"

Kiku blushed and sighed, "Fine.."

Cashier- "$12."

A- "Here's 20$, keep the change."

The cashier thanked us and stopped the ferris wheel for a moment to let us step in one of the carriages. after we settled in, they continued it and we started going up, Yay.

"Well this is quite awkward.." Kiku, who was sitting beside me spoke up. "I know right, This isn't what I was expecting at all-" I hummed in agreement, Laughing softly whilst looking at the overall nice beach view. "So is this the part where we kiss or-" Kiku said, scratching the back of his head in confusion. "Why the hell-" I jumped at the statement and glanced at Kiku with a red face.

K-
"Well that's what they do in K-dramas!?"

A- "You watch those??!"

K- "Before we started dating!"

I snorted and tried to hold my laughter at Kiku's sudden reveal, "Dude- I didn't know that you were obsessed with those romanto's!"

"Oh it was just once!" Kiku shouted but not too loud. I mocked what he last said and chuckled, "Well now that you have a real dude could you stop?"

"Of course I would." Kiku huffed, avoiding my gaze in all ways. I sighed and kissed Kiku softly, making him flinch. "I'm gonna miss youuu.." I said.

"You've spoken that many times already.." He replied, "But I'll miss you too." The Japanese added before kissing me back.
