And So It Begins: NovaHD [BoyxBoy]

> Eating Ice cream <

《Aleksandr's Point of View》

I was sitting down on the couch, petting Mishka and watched as Ein ran around the room happily, as I waited for James to come down. He invited me over to hang out, which turned into taking our dogs for a late night walk together. James was looking for Ein's leash, so I could hear a bunch of rustling from upstairs.

I heard a door shut and footsteps walking down the stairs.

"Alright I found it, let's go." James told me as he called Ein over and clicked her leash on.

I did the same to Mishka and followed him out to door.Immediately I was hit by the cold breeze of the fall. I pulled my sweater closer to my body and shivered.

"Jesus, it freezing out here." I muttered. James laughed loudly. I rolled my eyes at his behavior but smiled anyway.

When we got a bit farther away from the house, I bent down a took off Mishka leash, knowing that she wouldn't run away and would walk near me.

"So there's an ice cream shop down the road. You want to get some?" James looked over at me with a small smile on his face. I shot him a look of distaste.

"You do know its freezing out here?" I thought about it and shrugged. "Yeah fine, lets get some ice cream." James grinned widely, which made me smile in return.

We continued walking, mostly quite, except for the occasional laugh. James took a turn and we ended up on a street with little shops on one side and frost on the other. I bent down and clicked Mishka's leash back on. She may have been a very good dog, but she did like stopping in the middle of streets.

James glanced at me and slowly moved his hand towards my own hand that was resting by my side. When I made no movement to leave, he intertwined our hands together. Warmth filled me instantly and I smiled up at him.

James and I have been dating for a while but never really did any romantic gestures besides kissing and sleeping in the same bed. So holding hands in public was something unusual.

We stopped infornt of a small ice cream shop. Not many people were inside. there was a family of four sitting int he corner and a couple sitting in the front, laughing and smiling. I looked over to James.

"Can we bring the dogs in?" James nodded yes, and tugged me into the shop, we walked up to the counter where a lady probably in her fifties stood.

"Oh hello James." She paused and looked down at out intertwined hands and smiled widely.

"Oh is this him? Hes cute James. Listen here boy, you treat my James right okay? The same goes for you James." I felt the blood rush to my cheeks and looked down suddenly finding my shoes quite interesting.

"Aleks, this is Marissa. She takes care of Ein while im at the office, She lets her run around the store and Ein loves the attention she gets." When Ein heard her names she barked happily, and spun in circles.

Marissa came around the counter and bent down to pet Ein. Mishka bounded over and sat patiently infront of her.

"And who would this be?" I smiled down at Marissa. "My dog. Her name is Mishka, Its Russian." I said.

After talking for a bit more Marissa got up and got us our ice cream, me getting Strawberry and Chocolate and James getting Vanilla and Chocolate.

We sat down and tied the girl's leashes to our chairs. Both laid down by our feet.

We ate our ice cream in silence with happy smiles on our faces.

I fed James a spoonful of my Strawberry ice cream, James returning the favor by giving me some of his Vanilla.

We continued sharing our ice cream until it was gone. We got up and threw our trash away.

We said goodbye to Marissa abd headed home.
