Anthony's POV

It's been days since Ian was released from the hospital. It had been quite awkward about what happen while we were in there, but I'll leave the detail to yourselves.

Ian has been feeling much better and he'd been by my side non-stop. Dan finally got us to go to school for once and we had over thirty homework assignments. There's a reason you shouldn't miss school, kids.

By now, Ian and I are at an ice cream shop near the park. The ice cream is absolutely delicious, apparently both of us, while we we're little got ice cream from this very place. We had over a burst of conversation about our events that had happen here.

But back to the present, swoosh.

I smiled at Ian as he made a swirly motion around his ice cream cone, stopping the melting process. "I used to feed the pigeons here, my mom always laughed when they pooped on my hand." Ian said in a disappointed tone.

I grinned and swirled my straw around in my milkshake. "I used to come here also, I brought snacks so me, my mom and dad could have a picnic. We always ate PB and J's, chips and a bunch of junk food." I said, laughing a bit.

He looked up as a clump of ice cream dropped onto the table. "Aww!" Ian whined, grabbing a napkin to scoop up the clump and toss it into the grass. "Man.. what a loss." He whined again, shaking his head at the melting pile of cream.

I finished the last of the milkshake and tossed it into the trash can, sitting down again. "You know, I think I can get my dad to lend me his car today, I want to take you out." I said to him as I stared with confident eyes. He only smiled and nodded, licking his ice cream again.

I shook my head and closed my eyes, taking the cone from his hands and tossing it into the trash can. "C'mon, while there's still daylight!" I yelled, grabbing his hand and pulling him out of his seat. "Hey!" He managed to whine out as I pulled him along, his arm outstretched towards the come in the trash can.

I pulled out my phone as he stood next to me, a childish pout plastered on his face. I dialed my dad's number and smiled as it began ringing, my finger tapping the speaker button. "Hey! This is Daniel Padilla, I can't pick up the phone right now, so leave your name and number and I'll get back to you in two DANces of a Mexican couple!" My father's voice echoed from my phone, causing me and Ian to laugh at his voicemail.

The beeper squeaked and I instantly regained focus. "Hey dad, I was just wanting to know if I could borrow the car for tonight, I have something planned for Ian and I and I kinda.. need transportation." I ended my speech and hung up, pushing my phone into my pocket. "Well, now that, that is over with. Let's go have fun!" I yell, grabbing his hand.

Ian giggled and nodded, gripping my hand back as he stood on his tippy toes to put a small smooch onto my cheek. "I love you." He whispered, laying his head on my shoulder.

I smiled and slid my hands around his waist, kissing his head. "Well I don't think I can say it enough already, but I love you more." I said softly into his ear, smiling at the next words that come out of his mouth.

He quickly looked up at me and gave me a pounding grin. "I love you most!" He squeaks, quickly pushing our lips together in a joyful, passionate kiss. I stumbled backwards a bit and gently pulled him with me, laughing against his lips.

I smiled softer and closed my eyes. "Can I be cheesy for a second?" I ask softly, grinning cockily.

He sighed and nodded slightly, stepping back and sitting down on the soft, green grass. "Yes. I know you love to be." He said, grinning at me as he made himself comfortable on the grass.

I smiled and sat in front of him, staring into his eyes. I gently tapped my chin a couple times and began letting some poetic words slip into a cheesy mess.

Ian's POV

I smiled at him and cupped my own chubby cheeks, listening to his soothing voice.

He exhaled and tapped his chin, nodding at himself. "Okay. You see this spot?" He asks, pointing to his heart. I glance at the spot, nod and smile happily, looking back at his eyes. "That spot right there, it holds something that makes gentle beats, that beat just for you." He whispers, grinning. I furrow my eyebrows at his words and smile shyly.

He looked at the grass and nodded, quickly looking back to me. "You see these?" He points to his lips. I glance at them and nod quickly, smiling wider. "These, they like to touch your gentle, pale skin. They like to kiss your lips, neck and hands. They show love, just for you." He whispers again, smiling.

I giggle and shake my head, feeling a blush from onto my cheeks. "Oh my god-" I gasp and look up at him as he hovers above me. "Do you hear my voice?" He mumbles, smiling down at me. I nod slowly and smile the slightest bit. "I like talking. I like to talk a lot, but you know what I love to talk about the most?" I shake my head and smile softer. "I love talking about how beautiful you are. I love talking about how many people you make happy. I love talking everything about you. You make a mighty fine subject, I might add." He grins and cups my cheeks.

I shake my head and grin widely, sitting up and staring at him with joyful eyes, him moving himself behind me. I gasp and smile softly as his hands gently slid around my waist, laying his chin on my head. "I love you. I'm sorry for all the cheesiness, I was thinking all day." He whispered into my ear, kissing my cheek. "Wanna lay like this all day?" He whispered again, laughing lightly.

I turned my head and nodded slowly, smiling warmly. "With you? Always." I whisper to him, closing my eyes as our lips connected into a gentle kiss.

I am SO sorry it took so long! I absolutely blame myself for being a lazy potato. >.< I will update faster next time, since spring break is within this week. But anyway, it'll probably be longer next time, but until then, flip le tables! A3A
