Laurens, I Like You A Lot

Let's Go See Boston

*Can I just say that I lived in Boston my whole life and I like don't know any tourist attractions lol whoops* also the people not wanting to make eye contact is not because they're gay and like they're afraid of looking that's legitimately how people are in Boston

John's P.O.V

I dump my bags onto the floor, in front of the king sized bed. Alexander dumps his bags next to mine and flops down on the bed. He spreads his arms, sighing loudly.

"This bed is amazing. So much more comfortable than the beds at our dorm." I take a seat on the bed and I widen my eyes. I fall beside him, reaching for his hand. I kiss his knuckle and I rest his hand on my chest.

"Oh my gosh, you're right."

"As much as I want to stay here, I came to Boston for the tourist sights, even though I might want to come back to just sleep on this bed." I groan.

"5 more minutes." I say. He pulls my arm and instead of getting up, I just let him try to get me off the bed.

"Joooooohn." He says. I groan loudly, finally getting up.

"Fine, fine. Let's go see Boston."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

We decide to explore Back Bay, since our hotel was in the area anyway.

"So Prudential is this mall like thing that's pretty close by, we should check it out." He says, looking at his phone.

"Alright, let's go." We walk around a bit, trying to find this Prudential. It's extremely cold and there's light snow falling. Alex points to a building and we walk towards it. We enter it and the warmth hits me instantly. I take off my scarf and beanie, holding it by my side.

"Woah. This is pretty cool." Alex says. I grab his hand and we walk hand in hand. Some people give us a friendly smile while others don't even try to make eye contact.

"Alright, let's see what's in store here."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After maybe about an hour and a half of walking around and going into stores, Alexander and I decide to go eat some food.

"There's a Cheesecake Factory in here, let's go there." I suggest. Alex nods his head and we make our way to the Cheesecake Factory. It's not that full so we're seated very quickly. Alexander flips through the menu and I should be doing the same, but I just keep looking at him.

"John, look at your menu." Alex says to me.

"I can't. You're far more interesting to look at." He rolls his eyes behind his menu and I keep staring. He drops his menu.

"Oh my gosh, what's your problem?" A small smile creeps up on his face though.

"I just realized, I never took you out to a restaurant for a date." I say. Alex raises his eyebrow and then shakes his head.

"No, we got breakfast that one time."

"Well I mean, this is fancier."

"We're still wearing jeans."

"I want to wear you."

"Look at your damn menu."
