BL One Shots & Imagines

Date Night (4/5)

AePete Version

"Ae where are you...?" I whisper as I look out the window of the coffee shop, watching as the people are passing by.

He was supposed to meet me here after soccer practice an hour ago... but he's still not here... did I do something wrong...what's taking him so long...

Or did he get sick of me... did he find someone better...someone like Chompoo...

Just as I'm about to leave, I hear the doorbell ring and I see my boyfriend, covered in sweat and mud from running around the soccer field. I guess practice lasted longer than usual, but why didn't he tell me?

I put up a smile and walk up to him. I pass him and leave. Ae follows me as I walk to my car, and grab a hold of my wrist as I reach for my car door.

"Pete... I'm sorry, I should have called you when I found out that practice would last longer. Can you please stay for a while. Or should we do this another time?"

"I need to go home, I promised my mom I wouldn't stay out too long today."

"Oh, okay. How about on Friday? There's no afternoon classes nor practice on that day. We can spend all afternoon together."

"Okay... sure, just promise me that you'll let me know next time."

"Of course... see you later, Ai'Koon Chai." He peck my temple and I get into my car, I drive away from him standing there watching the back of my car as I leave.

A few days pass and Friday has come. Neither Ae nor I have any afternoon classes today, so we've planned to spend the rest of the day together. I walk to the coffee shop and see Ae sitting by our usual table by the window with two cups of iced Chai Lattes on the table in front of him.

I smile as I walk over and sit down facing him. Ae looks at me with the same charming eyesmile he have whenever we're together.

We end up spending two hours at the coffee shop, talking, drinking coffee and in general have a nice time together. After a while the older lady working there comes over to our table and places a piece of Strawberry Cheesecake on the table in front of us.

"Excuse me aunty, we haven't ordered this..." Ae start saying.

"Oh, I know dear. It's on the house,  after you two started coming here, there's been a lot more customers stopping by the shop. So see this as a small thank you."

"Oh, ehm thank you aunty. That's so nice of you."

We get up from our seats and start to excuse us, but we follow the lady to the counter where she places the cake in a small box so we can take it along with us as we leave.

We've been to this coffee shop for the past few weeks and we always sit by the same table, as long as it's free.

We both hug the aunty as we leave and then we drive back to my apartment.  Ae sits down on the floor between the couch and the table as we get there and I sit down on the couch behind him.

"Ae... are you really happy together with me? Because if you're not you can just tell me. I would understand... if...if you rather want to be with someone your family sees fit for you."

"Pete... I love you, no one else. Why would you even ask if I'm happy when I clearly am. How could you even think otherwise. When you're my very own Koon Chai. You're the only special one for me."

His eyes look cold when he turn his head to me, but they quickly turn sofa when he sees me being shy and avoiding his eyes. He turn his body so he easily can face me, then he places his head on my lap and say,

"Pete... can we stay together like this for a long time?"

"Forever, if you want Ae."

For the next 4 months we continue to go to the small coffee shop, and it's also the place I asked Ae to come have dinner with me and my father and his new family.

"Ae, should we bring flowers for the aunty next time we come here. I think she'll be happy of we did."

"Yeah, I think we should."

The next week when we go there we bring a bouquet of red, white and pink roses and the lady almost start crying when we hand it to her. That day we asked her if she wanted to come have a cup of coffee or tea with us.

3 hours pass and we end up driving to the university area. We go to the soccer field and sit down at the middle of it. We watch the stars, talk and just relax as we sit there leaning on each other.

"Pete... Would you want to marry me... some time in the future?"

"Yes, Ae."

We go back to my apartment late that night and it's easy to say that Ae ended up staying the night...
