"How the hell did you manage to get this together?" Andy giggled as he and Joe stepped out of the boat terminal and onto the loading dock.

   "Dedication." Joe said, looking down at Andy and kissing him lightly before walking down the boardwalk and into the boat.

Andy and Joe walked up onto one of the top decks and sat down at a pre set table. Andy still didn't know how Joe threw this together. Everything seemed so perfect as of right now. The sun was setting, the weather was absolutely lovely. Joe was too kind to Andy, he made Andy feel like royalty. He was always bombarding Andy with praised and gifts and endless love. Andy hoped he was giving enough in return.

   "How long is this, anyway?" Andy asked, looking out the window and onto the water.

   "Well it's 8 in the evening and it ends at about 10 so only really two hours." Joe responded as he looked at the time on his phone.

   "You're so cute." Andy smiled.

   "I'm not going to yell because we're in public but I will fight you." Joe snickered, reaching for Andy's hand under the table gently.

"Yeah because you're so intimidating." Andy giggled, squeezing Joe's hand in return.

"You know, for not being a person who like seafood all that much, this isn't half bad." Andy said, eating a small piece of crab while he laughed at Joe who was attempting to crack open the shell on the crabs leg.

"Do you need some assistance babe?" Andy asked and Joe scoffed.

"Andy darling, I am almost a grown man. I think I can eat my own food. I'm blaming the waves for making my hands really unstable." Joe retorted playfully, finally getting his goddamn crab open.

   "You're so cute." Andy mumbled under his breath.

   Joe smiled up at Andy before looking out at the open sea around them. It was pretty, despite it being a little unsettling. Joe was never very fond of oceans, sometimes boat rides could give Joe really bad panic attacks which was worrying him initially before he brought Andy here, yet he was almost totally calm. He likes to believe it's Andy keeping him calm right now.

"It's pretty, isn't it?" A voice called, bringing Joe out of his daze.

"Pardon?" Joe asked, turning his head to the voice that happened to belong to s young looking girl.

"The ocean. It's beautiful. The artistic feel of the waves, the calming sounds of the water. It's really taken for granted. Anyway, if you guys are done here with your food, I was wondering if there's anything else you would like before I bring up your check." She commented, smiling brightly at the boys.

Joe looked over at Andy for an answer and Andy shook his head.

"No thank you, we're fine. Thank you though." Joe declined politely and the girl nodded an okay and walked back down to the other part of the boat.

   Joe looked out again and saw a bit of land peak out from the other side of the window.

   "Oh we're almost home. Wait! I have an idea." Joe exclaimed, standing up and grabbing Andy's hand, pulling them outside to the front of the boat.

   "Joe?"

   Joe just turned Andy around so he was facing the water and Joe placed his hands on Andy's hips lightly.

   "Bitch, are you saying we reform the fucking romance scene from Titanic?" Andy giggled, leaning back into Joe's touch.

   "That movie was cute so I thought we could recreate it." Joe replied.

   "Babe, almost everyone in that movie died at the end." Andy giggled.

   "Shut up, let me just take a photo though because I'm positive we look very cute right now." Joe said, fishing out his phone and opening his camera app.

   He held his phone out and closed his eyes as he pressed his nose into Andy's temple and emoted a closed-mouth smile. Andy smiled and looked down at Joe as Joe took the picture. Once taken, Joe brought his phone back to him and looked at the photo, showing it to Andy.

   "That's so cute." Andy giggled, wrapping his arms around Joe's neck and kissed him lightly.

   "You're cuter." Joe fought playfully as the boat came to a stop back at land and they could all get off.

"If this were the Titanic, would you die for me?" Andy asked.

"No because that door could have easily held two fucking people so we could both live anyway." Joe laughed, grabbing Andy's hand and pulling down the stairs and back onto land again.
