Left Behind (Suntan)

With you

Sunny and Kel saw them turn, and quickly extracted themselves from each other's embrace. Sunny glanced at Kel, his face red, and Kel smiled back, which made Sunny blush even harder. Aubrey and Basil stood there, pretending not to see the obvious clues that both Sunny and Kel were dating.

"Should we go?" Basil asked awkwardly, hiding his smile. Sunny nodded quickly, and walked up to the street.

Aubrey grinned as Kel ran to catch up with Sunny, and glanced at Basil, who was grinning widely.

"They're insufferable."

"You said that right."

Basil and Aubrey, reaching their conclusion, continued their walk in pleasant silence. Meanwhile, Sunny and Kel were were walking in an awkward silence. Kel stared at Sunny, cheeks red. Sunny looked away, and refused to meet Kel's eyes.

"Are you mad at me?" Kel asked, twiddling his thumbs. Sunny sighed, and reached for Kel's hand. Kel blushed, and intertwined Sunny's fingers with his.

"What's wrong?" Kel asked.

"It's nothing... It's just, this is so New. I don't want to mess it up. I'm......scared."

Kel clenched Sunny's hand tighter, and quickly glanced behind him to check whether Aubrey and Basil were paying attention, then pulled Sunny closer to himself. Sunny let out a gasp of surprise, as Kel held Sunny's face close to his.

"I'm new to this too. I'm also scared, " Kel paused and kissed Sunny on the forehead, then continued."But I want to be scared with you." Kel confessed. Sunny could feel his heart beat faster, as Kel held Sunny's face in his hands. Sunny blinked a few tears away, and looped his arms around Kel's neck, pulling Kel into a sweet kiss.

Aubrey and Basil watched this scene from a few metres away, grinning widely.

"Their relationship is real now.... In a way." Basil said. Aubrey smiled at Basil and put her arm around his shoulders.

"Let's tease them about this for the rest of their lives." Aubrey suggested. Basil grinned.

"Don't worry, I'll tease them. With you." Basil joked.
