Fourth had barely been at work for an hour when he sent Gemini a text.

Miss me princess? Get ready let's go out on a date.

Gemini smiled at the message, excitement bubbling inside him.
He started looking around for Lego, but after searching the usual places, he couldn’t find him. That’s when it hit him, he hadn’t seen all the rooms in the mansion yet.
Curiosity tugged at him, and he began walking from room to room.




One room in particular caught his attention.
It was closed, and as he stood in front of it, something inside fell with a thud. His heart skipped. He knocked on the door, waiting, but there was no response.


Just then, Fourth appeared behind him, startling him.

“What is it? Are you looking for something?” Fourth asked, his tone calm yet sharp.

Gemini swallowed nervously. “N-no... I just heard something fall... but why is it closed?”

Fourth’s eyes darkened slightly. “Don’t mind it. There are important things in there. Just don’t go near it next time, okay?”

Gemini nodded quickly. “Okay...”



“Now, get ready. I’ll be waiting downstairs with the driver” Fourth said before turning and heading down the stairs.




Minutes later, Gemini was ready, dressed in a simple polo shirt and shorts.
He walked downstairs slowly, and Fourth’s eyes lit up as he saw him. Fourth admired how effortlessly beautiful Gemini looked, and as Gemini reached him, Fourth gently took his hand, intertwining their fingers.




Gemini felt a flutter in his chest. This side of Fourth, his soft, caring side, made him feel so happy. It was worth everything, even losing their marriage just to feel this closeness again.


But the moment they stepped into the car, Gemini’s smile faltered. He noticed that Perth was the driver, and jealousy flickered in his eyes. Fourth, sensing the shift, leaned over and pecked him on the lips, making Gemini’s face turn red like a tomato.




They spent the drive talking about random things, laughing and sharing moments they rarely had.
It made Gemini feel even more special. Perth, on the other hand, gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles white with tension.
Why was Gemini acting like they were some happily married couple when they weren’t?




Fourth was just about to kiss Gemini’s forehead when Perth suddenly slammed the brakes, jolting everyone forward.

“Sorry sir” Perth said, sweat glistening on his forehead.

“It’s fine, Perth. Just be careful, okay?” Fourth’s voice was soft but firm, and Perth nodded, though jealousy boiled inside him.



Fourth had planned the perfect day, taking Gemini to the most expensive restaurant in town, though Gemini insisted they didn’t need to go anywhere fancy.
After their meal, they headed to the mall for some fun. Fourth dominated at every game, while Gemini lost, but he didn’t care,he was too happy to be spending time with Fourth.




As they passed an ice cream stand, Gemini’s eyes lit up.

“Look, Fourth! Ice cream!” he beamed.


Fourth shook his head. “No, you can’t have any. It’s cold, and you’ll catch something.”

“But I want one...” Gemini pouted.


Fourth sighed, giving in to the adorable sight. “Okay, just one.”


Later, they made their way to a gay bar, this time with Perth tagging along. As they sat, Fourth was firm about not giving Gemini anything alcoholic, but Gemini was determined.
