Denial - a Breddy fanfic

11.

Brett was already sitting in the café, waiting for the love of his life to come for their first ever date. Even though he knew Eddy felt the same, he had still been nervous about asking. The only sadness Brett had in the situation they were in was that Eddy had been hesitant to show their love in public. Brett would never push him into doing anything he didn't want to. He would wait until his last breath to let anyone know, if that's what it took to be with Eddy forever.

Brett had dressed up slightly for the date, worrying he'd be too casually dressed compared to Eddy. Eddy always dressed nice, but Brett tended to go for the first hoodie he could find. He barely did a check to see if the colours he wore matched. Today, he had went for a dark blue shirt and some regular black jeans. He had spent ages trying to decide how many buttons of his shirt he would button, and was still considering it when Eddy entered the café.

Eddy was gorgeous, as always. Dressed in his blue denim jacket, which he always wore in Brett's mind. Except when he didn't... wear anything... Anyway, he was eyeing his love from the sneakers to the perfectly formed jaw and all the way up to how absolutely beautifully his hair fell on his forehead. He immediately got up and pulled out his chair for him. "Hey ba... I mean, Eddy", he beamed, waiting for him to sit down before getting his wallet. "The usual?" he asked. "My treat today, since you paid last time." Eddy had sat down on the chair Brett had pulled out for him, but looked around to see if anyone had noticed anything weird. It seemed the other people there was too busy with their own things to notice the two of them, much to Eddy's relief.

Brett got their coffees, and made the barista make a little heart in Eddy's. He was really trying to be the best he could for Eddy, knowing how lucky he was to have found the man he wanted to go through life with. When he brought back the coffee for Eddy he hid his face in his hands, and Brett couldn't help but think how cute it was that he hid his blushing.
"You like it?" Brett asked in a low voice. It made him feel good to get a positive reaction from Eddy when he tried to be good with him.
"It's... wow..." Eddy stuttered out, not really knowing what to say. Brett really deserved better than this, and Eddy knew that. He was touched knowing what lengths Brett would go for him, though.
"Anything for you, you know", Brett smiled and lightly stroke the back of Eddy's soft hand, just barely so that it wouldn't look obvious to anyone who wasn't paying attention to their conversation.
"And anything for you, Brett." Eddy forced a smile while the guilt took a bite of his heart.
