"Lemurs are not monkeys. They don't even fall under the same group."

"They are monkeys."

"No there not! They fall under the group of prosimians which has lemurs, lorises, bushbabies and tarsiers"

"Babe, I'm not getting any of the difference. But I'm guessing that monkeys are that strange P word?"

"Sumo," Jeff groaned as he rubbed his forehead. "No, monkeys fall under the anthropoids. A whole another group."

I nodded, "Yeah, okay a whole another group. So why can't we just group them together."

"Dunno, that's how the people back then wanted it to be."

"Ever wonder why they did that. Like what came across people's mind when they group things together or named things. Like how did we get the word 'tiger' or how about 'orange'. Why did we name it those things?"

Jeff snorted, "I don't think you could've done much better."

"Oh, yes I could. 

"Sumo, you didn't know the difference between prosimians and anthropoids."

"Jeffrey, I do not need to know the difference between those strange words in order to be a car repair man. I'll fix the the cars in the future and you will work as a doctor, that will be our future."

He looked over at me, a small smile play across his face. I couldn't help but blush, because I basically confessed my entire life planned out with him. Hopefully he doesn't want kids, I don't even want kids, I want Jeff to myself. All of him for me. 

Jeff look forward, "So how many kids will we have?"

I snorted, "None, I want you all for myself."

"Well I want kids. Maybe just one though."

"Then we should wait. Until we're about fifty."

"Why not late twenties or early thirties?"

"'Cause it won't be enough time for you and me."

"Sumo, I rather have kids when we're at least thirty-one."

"Okay . . . but just one. I don't know if I can handle having a whole lot of kids."

He laughed, "Have you also thought about our house? Trailer? Two-story? Cabin?"

I shrugged, "I don't care. As long I'm with you then I'll be okay with anything.

I took a seat at the nearest bench because we have been walking for hours. I don't know how I was able to last this long. Honestly, I used to be able to run around a lot as a kid but now. Man, I am really out of shape. Jeff looked over with a smile and took a seat next to me.

This is nice. Two guys, both sweaty as hell, sitting together on a bench. My dream come true. Minus the fact that we're both sweaty. I didn't think leather could be this hot. I always thought it would be cold but no. Leather has betrayed me!

I put my arm out, and Jeff leaned in my side. Thank God that I don't sweat under my armpits, that would be very bad. I do not want Jeff anywhere near my sweat pits, that just doesn't suite well until we're married for ten years. Then I can have sweaty armpits for the rest of our life together.

Jeff sighed, "I like this."

I look down at him. What does he like? The zoo? The sky? This bench? Or me hugging him? Well, he's more leaning into me so . . . but that doesn't matter. I just want to know what he likes more. I have to know! 

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Oh nothing." He sang.

"Jeff, I'm not clueless like you think."

"Sumo . . . let's go see the food carts, yeah?"

"You're hungry? Why didn't you say so?" 

We both stood up, brushing off the dirt from the pants. I pushed back my hair and looked around, seeing no sign of Clarence and Belson. Shrugging it off, because they are either looking at the dolphins or making out, and Jeff lead the way to the food. I grabbed my wallet for some cash and pulled out a twenty.

Why zoo food is so expensive, I will never know. They just like to mooch off our money. No matter, I got enough to buy Jeff and I something. Jeff picked out what he wanted and I did also. Finally we made our back to the car.

Because there is no way that I am staying in the sun, not anymore.

After climbing in the car, Jeff took the keys for the radio and I pulled out my phone to text Clarence. Jeff picked a station, which is sadly Today Hits. Which I don't really wanna call hits but I'm not going to tell Jeff no.

I just can't tell him no. It's impossible for me!

Darn, his cuteness.

"Hey Jeff?" I asked.

"Yeah?" He replied as he opened his snack.

"How come you was so calm about me talking about our future? Most people would freak if they talk about sharing a future with someone . . . romantically."

"Sumo, has it ever occurred to you that maybe I would want to spend the rest of our lives together?"

I frowned, "But college . . . we're going two different ways! I don't want you to be stressed out by that."

"Oh right. I forget about that." 

"Jeffrey, I don't want you give up your dreams for me. That would be really bad of me. So, I guess we should forget about our talk from earlier."

Jeff looked over at me, "If that what you really want."

No it isn't! I would've screamed but what kind of friend/future boyfriend would I be if I made him give up his dream. I sighed, I would've screamed out a loud no but I don't trust my voice. Instead I nodded, from Jeff's side I heard him sigh.

"I'm sorry." I whispered, not knowing if he could even hear me.

Jeff didn't say anything instead he leaned over, putting his head on my shoulder. I look down with a smile and scooted over, so he wouldn't hurt his neck so much. I wrapped my arm around him as a song, Youngblood, played through the radio. Jeff leaned over and turn it up as I pulled him closer.

"I would do anything for you," I whispered to him.

He giggled, "I know you will."

"Good."

"Sumo," He said as he laced our hands together. "I would do anything for you also."
