His Glimmer Of Hope

Chapter 20

Once they arrived at the park, Jaylen's eyes widened at the beauty of nature. "Nice right?" Kujo smiled as he looked at Jaylen and he nodded with a smile. "And it's good that only a few people know about this place so we can do what every other couples do without being judged." Kujo smiled as he held Jaylen's hand tighter. "C-couple? Us?" Jaylen couldn't believe what he heard as he looked at Kujo, shock evident in his eyes.

Kujo chuckled at Jaylen's shock expression. "That's.. What i wanted to talk to you about." He said as he scratched the back of his head with a sheepish smile, confusing Jaylen. "After chatting with you for a few months and meeting you, i feel that you are very genuine, honest, innocent and cute. I want to go out with you, to be your boyfriend. I want to protect you." Kujo confessed, making Jaylen flustered at how to respond to Kujo's confession. But before he could even say anything, tears started falling down his cheeks.

Kujo smiled warmly and hug Jaylen tightly. Jaylen just cried into his chest, speechless, as all his emotions are jumbled together. Kujo just smiled as he rubbed Jaylen's back, trying to calm him down. Finally, Jaylen calmed down and he wiped away his tears. "I.. Just liking you.. Is enough for me.. I never expected you to return back my feelings." Jaylen sniffled and Kujo wiped away the tear stains on Jaylen's cheeks. "So when you said that.. I'm really happy that i thought this was all just a dream." Jaylen admitted and Kujo chuckled as he ruffled Jaylen's hair.

"It's real." Kujo smiled and leaned in to kiss Jaylen's cheek, making Jaylen blushed brightly as he looked down, lost for words. Kujo smiled and hold Jaylen's hand once more. Kujo then lead Jaylen deeper into the park. They then sat on a bench, which is under a shelter. "I prepared something." Kujo smiled and took out a few lunch boxes from his bag. "I figured we should have lunch here." Kujo said and Jaylen smiled, appreciating the effort Kujo made. "Thanks." He said shyly and Kujo smiled, taking out a chocolate muffin from one of the lunch boxes and placed it in front of Jaylen's mouth.

Jaylen blushed another shade of red when he finally realized what Kujo is about to do and he shyly opened his mouth, letting Kujo feed him. "Nice?" Kujo asked and Jaylen nodded shyly. "Nice." He replied softly  and Kujo smiled. "I have something i want to ask of you. Will you listen to my request?" Kujo asked and Jaylen looked at him with a serious expression. "Will you.. Cosplay with me?" He asked and Jaylen choked on his muffin slightly. "C-cosplay? W-with you? Why me?" Jaylen stuttered, bewildered at the request.

"I've always wanted to cosplay with my lover." Kujo said with a small smile. "But it's fine.. We'll do it once you feel you are ready." Kujo hurriedly added and Jaylen nodded. "Can i.. Think about it?" Jaylen asked and Kujo smiled. "Of course. Take your time." He said. "I know how much courage you need for cosplay." Kujo added, understanding Jaylen's circumstances. Jaylen smiled a little, feeling guilty for not agreeing to Kujo's simple request.

Kujo noticed that the atmosphere went downwards and looked at Jaylen, an idea popped into his mind. He leaned towards Jaylen when he is not paying attention and pecked his cheek, surprising him. "Wh-?" Jaylen was obviously shocked at the peck and looked at Kujo, a deep blush showing on his face. Kujo smiled and ruffled his hair. "You are so cute." He chuckled, making Jaylen blush more than before. "I-i'm not.." He mumbled shyly as he looked down and ate the food that Kujo prepared. "Do you like it?" He asked and Jaylen nodded with a smile. "It's really delicious." He smiled happily and Kujo smiled. "I'm glad you like it."
