Pov Nathan
"What the heck are you doing?! You need to prepare for your date!" Angela came storming in. I was just laying on my bed, peacfully, listening to music. But no, she needed to come running into the room like a freaking crazy person.
"I'm not going" I stated.
"What?!" She yelled. Oh, now it comes...
"Nathan Lesley Wheeler! You're going to that freaking date even if it's the last thing you do! Do you understand me mister?!"

Yey... Lesley... The best middle name in the whole freaking world...
"I'm not going" I repeated and closed my eyes.
"You can't make me"
Well, that sentence might've been the biggest mistake I've ever made... I won't go into detail but lets just assume that you don't wanna know what exactly happend after that. It wasn't very pretty... But Angela made sure I was ready right on time and even called Jace to ask if our plans had changed and about the fact that she needed to be informed about us.

At the time we planned, Jace arrived at my house. He wasn't wearing anything special, just as usual. Except for the sunglasses, which were a bit off... Why would he wear them? We were just gonna watch a movie and that was it. But I wasn't the only one that was checking out the other. His eyes scanned my body and he seemed to get lost in thought.
"S-something wrong?" I asked and his eyes shot towards mine.

"N-no, o-on the contrary... You look absolutely stunning, Nathan Wheeler" he smiled and took my hand.
"I-I am very sorry about yesterday, I mean it. Peter took me by surprise and I didn't know how to react... But I promise you one thing Nate. I will always protect you, no matter what"
"T-thanks Jace" I said while blushing and saw a bright flash on my side.

"Angela!" I hissed.
"What? It's your first official date, you're gonna want a reminder of this moment" she laughed while taking another one. Jace pulled me close to him and smiled towards the phone.
"See, he gets it!" she laughed and looked at Jason.
"What's with the glasses?"
"Oh, uhm, nothing, really" he stuttered.

"Dude, it's not even spring, get those off" Angela stated and took the glasses of his head without hesitation. Jace flinched and immediately turned away from us, but not fast enough to hide it... His left eye was red and swollen with a blue-ish purple undertone.
"Omg, what happend?" I asked with concern and made him turn back towards me.
"Did Peter do this to you? Simon didn't say anything about a fight I-"

"H-he didn't, i-it wasn't Peter..." Jace interrupted, staring at the ground.
"C-can I have my glasses back, p-please?"
Angela handed them over and stared at me as if asking how this happend. I just shrugged and shook my head, no idea who could've done this to him.
"Lets get going then shall we?" Jace asked with a forced smile and his sunglasses back on.
"Bye Angela"

I followed him outside and got my bike. I knew he wasn't gonna tell me what happend, not by choice. So I had to pull it out of him some way or another... But how? Our drive to the cinema was quiet, none of us really spoke since we left but that was to be expected.
"So, are you going to tell me which movie we're watching yet?" he asked as we stalled our bikes by the black movie decorated building.

"Nothing special" I sighed and pointed to one of the posters outside.
"That one"
"Hmm, doesn't seem like a horror movie to me, I win!" he laughed which earned him a confused stare from my side.
"Oh, uhm, I guess Sim didn't tell you everything we talked about yesterday" he said and rubbed the back of is head.
"We kinda made a deal, a bet, whatever, and I won!"

"What did you win?" I asked while we were walking into the building.
"Our privacy" he grinned.
"You're welcome"
"And what do you mean by that?" I asked, laughing a bit.
"It means that Sim doesn't get to hear a single detail about our little rendez-vu" Jace grinned.
"Not even a single word"
"Really?" I asked surprised with big eyes.
"Yeah, come on, lets get some snacks and enjoy the movie"

...

We ended up being pretty much one of the only ones to watch this movie so Jace decided it was a good idea to make out during the break. Nobody saw us but I wasn't comfortable with the idea either way. The movie was hilarious and we were still laughing about it now. We were on our way to the park, on foot with our bikes at our hands.

"Oh oh oh, remember the part where the mom walks in on them?" Jace asked laughing, barely getting the sentence out of his mouth.
"That was such a mess" I laughed and saw the park entrance at the end of the street. We walked over to a bench and Jason took my hand.
"You know where we are right now?" he asked and looked me in the eye.
"The park" I stated and he rolled his eyes.

"No silly, the place we first met" he smiled.
"It was this exact spot... Don't you remember?"
"O-of course I remember" I smiled.
"It's the day I came home all bruised up because I'm such a clumsy person when it comes to walking in snow"
We laughed a bit before he turned really serious.
"Yeah, bruises from falling on ice, not getting hit by another person..." he whispered and just stared at whatever was before him.

"I'm not scared of Peter or anyone else at school, neither should you... T-that's why I wanted to ask you i-if you would like to be, you know, m-my boyfriend?"
He was so nervous. It was kinda cute in a way. But I didn't answer right away, even though I wanted to scream yes in his face. I was thinking about the consequences, his father, the rest of the village... Everything would be different if they knew about this...

"I'm not saying we should go public Nathan" he sighed and looked at me.
"I-I just want to be able to call you mine..."
"Was I thinking out loud again?" I asked softly while he threw his arm around me and pulled me closer.
"Yeah, kind of" he smiled.
"Don't think about what others want Nate, think about what you want"
"Then I guess we're officially boyfriends now" I smiled.

"And I couldn't be happier about it" Jace said and pulled me in for a kiss. I kissed back almost immediately and felt him smile into the kiss. We were just made for each other, or so it seemed every time we kissed. I enjoyed every single moment of it while it lasted. But at the end Jace pulled back and smiled at me with the greatest smile I had seen in a long time.
"I really like you, Nathan Wheeler"
"I really like you to, Jason Anderson"
