Out Of The Park (Noah Schnapp, Gay)

The View

We handed the equipment back to the guy at the register and headed off.

"Where is this fro yo place, then?" he asked as we set off.

"It's just down the street, like a mile maybe. Then the beach is right next to it"

It took us like 20 minutes and we were there. This place has been my go to fro yo place since I was little. It's right next to my house and its strawberry flavour is phenomenal.

"So this is the place?" he asked looking up at the sign.

"Yup, been coming here since I can remember"

"Any suggestions on what to get?" he asked, looking me in the eyes.

I could feel that shiver again and my mouth just wouldn't work

"Uh, um, t-the strawbe-erry is good."

Fuck.

He's going to think I've actually lost it, all he did is look at me and I'm a stuttering mess. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he just walked away. Instead, he just gave me warm smile and we walked into the shop. I know the owner so I introduced him to Noah and he was kind enough to give us our fro yo for free. We insisted on paying but he wasn't having it at all. We left for the beach.

We walked in mostly silence with the odd moan from Noah saying how good the delicious treat in his right hand was. Gave me ample time to contemplate my next move. I decided to ask him some more about himself.

"So Noah, what brings you down here anyway?"

He finished swallowing his mouthful of deliciousness and said "Well my Mom grew up here and she wanted to get us familiar with the area before the move".

Move? What move?! He couldn't possibly be moving to MY hometown, COULD HE?

"Um, what move?", I was shaking anticipating his response.

"Well my family are moving down here, just 5 minutes back that way"

Good thing I had my fro yo to lick because I had a grin that must've looked painful.

"Really?! I live right down there!", obviously I wasn't screaming into his face, the exclamation marks are merely to portray my inner emotions.

"Holy shit, really? Damn if we knew we could've walked to the cages together."

"Well we know now at least", I said, almost expectantly.

He gave me a sly grin and took off down the beach yelling something along the lines of "RACE YA!".

Of course I had to chase him too.
