Elder Kevin Price wasn't in love. He swore by it, he couldn't be in love, there was no way he could be in love ESPECIALLY not with another man. Even if this other man was the kindest, sweetest, most beautifully stunning person Kevin ever laid his eyes on, he wasn't in love with Elder Connor McKinley.

Kevin had been in Uganda on his mission for around 3 months now. Thankfully though, things were starting to seem a bit more normal for the other elders after 'the incident' with the church, but for Kevin things were the opposite of normal. He tried to hide it and turn it off (even though him and all the other elders had decided they wouldn't do that anymore) and he thought he was doing an amazing job turning off his feelings as well, but whenever a certain Elder McKinley passed by Kevin he practically melted into a flustered lovestruck puddle. But he couldn't worry about that now, he had important work to do.

Kevin, his best friend/ mission companion Elder Cunningham, and a few of the other elders had been assigned to help look after some of the village children today while the remaining elders helped the kids parents fix up some of the village huts. Kevin was very excited about the task he was assigned, this was mainly because one of the other elders looking after the children was Elder McKinley. Of course, he was only so happy about this because the other elder was his friend and he thought it might be fun to spend the day with him and not because he has had a huge soul consuming crush on the other elder.

The entire day Kevin couldn't keep his eyes off Elder McKinley. The way he worked so well with the kids was heartwarming, adorable, and may have made Kevin blush a bit even though he made a mental note to completely deny if someone would happen to ask about it later (this someone being elder Cunningham as he had a way of knowing exactly the things Kevin didn't really want to be asked about and then going ahead and asking about them). But Kevin's not appropriate around all these children thoughts and longing looks at the other elder we're interrupted by a loud and familiar voice.

"Hi Neutrogena!!" Kevin heard Elder Cunningham yell as he ran up and hugged his new girlfriend.

Kevin picked up the small child he was playing with and walked over to the couple "Hey Nabulungi, what's up?"

"You two won't believe what I found!" Nabulungi said excitedly while slightly jumping up and down "An i pod!!!" She said as she held up an extremely old looking cassette player with a huge grin plastered on her face.

"That's amazing Noibat, but I don't think that's an i pod" Elder Cunningham said almost as excitedly as the girl before him with a grin on his face, Nabalungi had done things like this often. Because she had grown up in Uganda she hadn't been exposed to things like phones and I pods like all of the elders but she had heard of them before, so she would usually mistake older things such as a typewriter for newer things like a phone or a 'texting device' as she called it. Elder Cunningham had always found it extremely adorable and had no problem with it at all and would simply explain what the item actually was to her, although she would usually still call it what she had originally.

"Are you sure," she replied with a confused look on her face "because I'm almost positive it's an i pod." Elder Cunningham went on to explain to her what it was while Elder Price looked over the 'i pod'. While he was doing this, without him noticing, Elder McKinley came over to him.

"Hello Elder, what's that?" McKinley asked with a playful tone in his voice smiling brightly at Price. That smile always killed him. His big blue eyes mixed with constellations of freckles all over his face and and a smile so wide as genuine it could make anyone melt.

"Oh," Kevin replied forgetting what it was he was holding for a second "um, it's a cassette player that Nabulungi found at the market today. It's pretty interesting."
