James POV

I wasn't too surprised Alexander would pull this crap. It's not like it's out of character for him.

Thomas came back to our dorm and smiled at me.
"Hey Jemmy."
"I was wondering if you wanted to head out and go to a restaurant or something?" I scratched my neck nervously "I mean only if you want to-"
"Of course Jemmy, how romantic~" I smiled brightly at him. I just thought of how lucky I was to have someone like him in my life. "We should walk there, it's really nice out today!"
"Sure!" He grabbed my hand and I flushed red.
As we were walking I noticed Thomas was just looking at me.
"Is there something on my face?" I said
"I was just admiring how cute you look." He said while retaining eye contact. I pulled away from his eyes, embarrassed.
"The sky is really nice tonight." Thomas started.
"Yeah, it's really beautiful. My parents used to bring me on trips to a field where we would just stare at the sky when I was younger. When we were still a happy family."
"What happened?"
"After I came out to them as gay, my dad got really mad and kicked me out. My mom gives me some money every once in while but there's only so much you can do, yanno."
"I'm so sorry to hear that Jemmy, I can't imagine what it would be like to have parents like that." He wrapped one arm around me. "I hope things get better with you and your dad."
"Me too, oh look we're here!"

In front of us was a fancy restaurant called "Cibo Fantastico" it was Italian.
"Ooh lala Jemmy" He laughed. We strolled inside hand in hand and sat down. We ordered some food and talked for a bit. Then the bill arrived.
"I'll pay!" Thomas exclaimed.
"But I arranged it, I'll pay."
"Nope! You are already having financial problems too, I want to help even a little bit."
"Tommy!"
"Hah" He sneaked the money into the bill and smirked. "Let's go" He stood up and kissed me on the check.

We walked out but Thomas started going another way.
"Hey Thomas the dorms are this way" I pointed to the right.
"Oh, I know I just wanted to show you something."
"Alrighty."

We arrived at a park and he covered my eyes.
"Hey!"
"It's a surprise James"
He pulled his hands away and we saw fireworks in the distance.
"Woah. Thomas it's beautiful."
He kissed me then and there. It felt magical, like we were in a movie. We pulled apart for air.
"No need to thank me"
"I love you"
"I love you too"

All I could think was;
I hope this lasts forever.

I hope you enjoyed this cute chapter. Another part coming your way tomorrow.
