3rd September, 3 pm:

Nero and Jason wander down the different streets of Fortuna together.

"This is crazy", Jason says once again after eyeing another small store.
"If I got a red gem for every time you said that I would be rich by now."
Jason hits Nero's side with his elbow.
Nero chuckles as he suddenly spots a special store.

"Hey, want one?"
Jason's gaze follows Nero's finger.
It's pointing at a colorful ice cream store right ahead of them.
"What's ice cream?" Nero's eyes widen.
"You're kidding me, right?"
Jason shakes his head in no.
"Oh my god. Okay, wait here and I'll get us some."
Nero grabs Jason's shoulders and sits him down on a wooden bench next to the sidewalk. Then he jogs off into the shop leaving Jason just staring after him.

A sigh leaves his lips as he thinks about all the things he saw today. So many new things he has never heard of.

Then the screeching of children brings him back to reality.

Two children are running after another one. "Stay here or we'll beat you!"
Jason rolls his eyes and gets up from the bench.
The lonely kid runs into his legs.
The male winks at the kid and stands in front of it.
"Knock it off", Jason groans as the other two bullies stop in front of him.
The bullies look at Jason's serious expression and then run off.

Jason turns to the child behind him and lowers himself on its level. "Don't take them seriously. They're just weak not like you."
He smiles at the child who grins back at him and then runs off.

"What's that all about?"
"Holy shit!"
Nero laughs at Jason's reaction.

He thought it might be funny to sneak up on the black and white haired male.

"Don't ever do that again, you psycho."
"Why? It's funny seeing you like that."
"Shut up!"
Nero laughs at the grumpy Jason.
"Here's your ice cream."
The white haired holds out the cone with a gentle smile.
Jason takes it with a short "thank you".

"Bottoms up!"

Jason licks the cold cream and is immediately mesmerized by the taste.
"You like it", Nero asks eyeing his friend's gaze. "Like it? This stuff is amazing! How come we angels didn't think of this before."
Nero laughs at Jason's innocent and cute reaction. His cheeks turn pink.

"You know, I could show you new stuff every day", Nero suddenly says as they sit down on a bench in a park.
"Really? Is there so much that I don't know", Jason laughs.
"I don't know. That's why we could try it. In return you have to help out at the orphanage, of course."

Jason nods and leans back so his back hits the bench. "Fine."
Nero smiles and continues to eat his ice cream while watching the male next to him.

He has never seen a guy this handsome before.

Jason notices Nero's stares and starts to become uneasy. Why is he staring? Is there something on his face?
His cheeks turn bright red.
"Well, I think that's enough new stuff for today", Jason stutters trying to end the awkward silence between them.

"Yea, Kyrie might be wondering where we are."

Both finish their ice cream and get up from the bench to walk back to the orphanage.

3rd September, 6 pm:

The time has gone by fast on Nero's and Jason's little trip and as they arrive back at the orphanage Kyrie scolds them for staying out without telling her.
Then the two males prepare dinner as ordered by Kyrie and serve it to the orphans.

"Thank you, Mister Jason!"

"The children really like you", Kyrie laughs as she wraps her arms around Nero's waist.
"I guess", Jason mumbles as he watches the children eat.

"I'm off to bed", He then says and goes into the garage at a fast pace.

There Jason falls onto the couch and looks up at the gray ceiling.
It has a few red specks on it which he cannot explain to himself.

Then the door to the garage opens.
"Hey, buddy." It's Nero.
"You don't have to sleep in the garage, you know."

Jason looks up at the male.
"Where should I sleep then? The floor?"
"Or maybe the free room we have upstairs? Come on, I'll show you."

The two men walk upstairs to where the empty room Nero mentioned is.
It has a bed big enough for two people, a closet and a bathroom.
"Home sweet home", Nero chuckles as Jason's jaw almost lands on the floor.
"Goodnight then."

Nero leaves the room as Jason slowly comes back to reality.
All this room to himself? Is it his birthday already?

Jason prepares himself for bed by taking off his green sweater and his black pants alongside his brown boots.
Then his dark gray wing appears out of nowhere.
The male scratches the area where the wing pierces out of his back.

He has been holding the wing in for too long.

After a few stretches and yawing Jason lays down and drifts off to dreamland.
