We're in the car. On our way to our first date. First date. Sounds strange, but it sounds almost perfect. My thoughts get interrupted as we stop at a red light. I glance over at Kras, who was admiring the view in front of us, while I was admiring the view right next to me. He must've caught me eye balling him because he begins giggling. The sweetest thing I've ever heard. Music to my ears.
I planned my route to the nicest park around, but I made a last minute stop at the supermarket. I pull Kras out of the car, holding him by the hand like a child. I picked up a basket and went through all the aisles with him, getting to know what food he loved as well as his habits. He kept glancing at something on the shelf, but wouldnt pick it up, unsure why but I let it slide. We go to the checkout with a basket full of fruit, snacks and drinks, plenty for a 3 course meal. Just the two of us. He insists on letting him pay but I pay before he has the chance to disagree, leaving him feeling flustered but happy regardless.
We hop in the car, back onto the route. We arrive in practically zero time, strange considering LA traffic is a constant pain in everyone's ass. But I didn't want to think of that. My focus was on Christian and Christian only. We hop out again, taking the bags and blankets out of my car and taking them to a sweet spot in the park near the fountain, with a distinct view of LA. I could see him taking in the view, mesmerised by the beauty we were surrounded by. I felt mesmerised by the beauty I was holding hands with at this very moment. We begin our date, talking about the things that mattered most, everything under the sun as we ate our fruit, occasionally feeding the other as an attempt to mock couples in romance movies. I'm not sure about Christian but I'm sure that moment gave me a sense of hope for us. It might be too soon to tell yet, but it's just a hunch.
Before we know it, the sun starts setting, and Christian begins taking pictures of the sky in its beautiful lilac element. He even took a few of me despite my wishes, but I didnt mind one bit. I took some of him too, and admired how effortless he was in order to be so gorgeous. We begin packing our things away into my car and head to the supermarket for a second time to buy ingredients for dinner. Heading home again, Christian falls asleep with his head against the window with the cool evening breeze still flowing through his hair. I gently hold his hand at a red light before driving off at green. I pull into the driveway of the house, and gently stroke his head to wake him up so we could head inside.
I begin making dinner for all of us while Christian heads upstairs to get himself more comfortable. I set everything out before calling everyone into the dining area, where everyone sits and talks about their day. Christian appears from upstairs, wearing my sweatpants and a fresh shirt. I felt flustered at the sight of him, but motioned for him to sit next to me as we all ate. We held hands under the table as everyone discusses everyday life. It all feels so natural, I've only known him for a few days but it feels like I've known him my whole life.
We collect everyone's empty plates and wash them up together. I feel myself getting hot in his presence, so I decide on washing the dishes shirtless, which made him even more comfortable with me. He holds me in an embrace as I stand in front of the sink. "I had a great time today, Mitty" He whispers in my ear, sending shivers down my spine before tracing a finger down my side. I finish washing up and turn to face him, placing a gentle kiss on his soft lips. We stand like this for a while, before realising where we were and headed for bed.
I had a great time too, Kras. A great time.
*thank u to my mf babie diablosdemons for the date idea 🥺🥺💕💕*
