Zach stood in front of the entrance of Grandeur, a famous and expensive restaurant that costumers needed to reserve a seat at least a month prior to their chosen date of dining. Zach became even more surprised and practically speechless when Josh led him inside and was guided by a waiter to their table.

The whole place looked luxurious and expensive. Zach felt out of place with his casual clothes. It was a good thing that the waiter brought them to a private room, which made Zach more surprised and even more impressed with Josh.

"How did you get a table in here?" Zach asked as they took their seat.

"A family friend owns the place." Josh replied with a humble smile. "I called and told them that I needed to impress someone very special to me this night, to make up for a terrible thing that I've done." Josh said with a smile. "When they heard that I'm trying to get that person back, they made some arrangements for us."

"Well, I must say, I'm starting to get impressed." Zach replied with a smile.

"Really? Then, I 'm on the right track." Josh said with a wide smile.

"Just for the record, a normal restaurant would do for me. As long as I'm with you, anything and everything could be special." Zach replied and then winked at Josh.

Josh blushed a bit and then smiled. He was really flattered by Zach's sentiment.

A waitress walked in the room with a bottle of expensive wine. She opened it and poured some in Josh's glass. She was about to pour some on Zach's but he told her not to. "It's alright. I won't be drinking tonight." Zach said politely and then the waitress placed the wine bottle on an ice bucket on the small table at the side of the room, and then left the room.

"You don't drink, do you?" Josh asked guiltily. He couldn't help but feel that it was one of those details about Zach that he had forgotten. "I'm sorry. I didn't remember about it yet..." He said very apologetically.

"Don't stress yourself over it. It's not a big deal at all." Zach said with a reassuring smile.

Zach was a normal teenager, he used to drink at parties when he was still in high school, and in fact he loved drinking when he was younger. Then his alter appeared, his other self. Ever since then, Zach stopped drinking. There's a chance that if he gets drunk and then lose control of his own mind, his alter would take over his body. Zach became very careful of that.

Even though Zach said it was fine, Josh still felt disappointed at himself. He was sure of what he was feeling for Zach. Not only was he falling for Zach in an amazing speed, Josh is also falling deeper and deeper for Zach by each passing second.

It's fate. It's destiny. The two of are destined to fall in love with each other. Josh finally conceded to that fact.

As they talked during their dinner, Josh realized how many things he have in common with Zach. They both like the same music, same movies, same books, and not to mention that they both love photography. It was a shame though, for Josh, that Zach stopped holding a camera.

"Is it because of the accident six months ago, that you stopped holding a camera?" Josh asked Zach after they talked about photography.

Zach gave a sad smile. "Yeah..." He said regretfully.

Josh remembered what Zach said before, that every time he would hold a camera he would feel really afraid, sacred for some reason. Josh couldn't help but feel sad. Zach loves taking pictures so much, so being unable to even hold a camera, it must be really painful for him.
