"Stop fussing" Aesop said sternly as I instantly shut up, he continued braiding my hair

"I'm done!" He said adorably as he looked proud at his work, I smile as I bring a mirror

"You did well~" I praised as he looked like a puppy wagging it tail at me,he took my camera trying to take a picture

He captured one as he showed me one

"It's good... but here let me help you" I said patting the seat next to me as he sat down

I taught him a little bit of the basics, after a while of me teaching him, he tried again, applying my advice

"What do you think?" He asks showing it to me as I smile and nod "its great~"

It has 8 months since I have known Aesop now, my love has only been growing larger and larger with each act he does

"Joseph?" He said snapping me out of my thoughts "sorry, by the way Aesop, there is this nice village that i would love to go with you to~ it's called Lake Side Village, what do you think?" I asked as he thought about it for a while

"Sure, why not" he replied as he sat down next to me laying his head on my shoulder

Soon I hear his soft snores echo through the room as my head leans back listening closely and enjoying the moment

15 minutes later I, too, fell into sleep

-Later-

I woke up in a jolt slightly panting as I see Aesop slowly waking up, rubbing his eyes.

"Joseph? What's wrong?" He asks as I look at him, I sigh in relief then smile nervously

"Nothing, I'm fine" I sat as he looks at me concerned

"It's nothing, I swear, let's go and continue our day shall we?" I say as he looks concerned but sighs while excepting my hand and gets up

-Week later-

"Then, have fun you two~" White and Norton said as we smiled and went on the bus

"We are finally going to Lakeside Village" I said happily

Aesop smiles at my enthusiasm

We go to the far back seats "thank you for getting on this bus, this trip to LakeSide Village will take an hour to and hour and a half with one stop halfway through, enjoy your ride" the driver announced

"You want Joseph?" Aesop asked handing me one side of the earphone while the other was on his ears

I accept as we listen to music, I was fixing some settings on my camera since I plan to take many pictures, as for Aesop, he was reading a newspaper, he looked pretty intrigued too

I finished setting the camera in 30 minutes before I stretched, the bus came to a stop as I grab Aesop's hands and drag him out

Once we were out I fixed the position of my hands but I don't let go

He didn't seem to mind either. He took off his mouth mask as he sighed "it feels nice" he said with closed eyes, enjoying the light breeze

I smile as my free hand made it's way to my pocket
