You're nearing the end of your Junior year in high school. You and (C/N) have become close friends and hangout a lot.
You've decided that every Wednesday after school you'll go to the ice cream shop nearby and on weekends you'll do something fun together.
Currently, it's last period on a Wednesday. Ice cream day.
You glance at the clock impatiently, counting the minutes. 3 minutes until dismissal.
2 minutes.
1 minute.
"Remember, your essay is due next Thursday!" The teacher exclaims right before the bell's ring pierces your ears.

"You ready to go, (Y/N)?" The (C/H/C) haired boy asks you as you close your locker.
"Yup!" You exclaim while refraining yourself from jumping.
What can you say? Hanging out with (C/N) gets you really excited!
Okay, maybe you have a small crush on him.

Alright, maybe it's a huge crush. But you'd never tell him because it would ruin a perfectly good friendship.

You guys arrive at the ice cream shop 10 minutes after school ended. It's usually a 7 minute walk, but there may have been some... mishaps.
Let's just say, it's a good idea to tie your shoes before racing.
Anyways, right now you're in line for ice cream. The shop is cute, with light blue walls and colourful tiles on the floor. There are small potted plants on the window sills, mostly orchids and roses.
"(F/I/F) as usual?" (C/N) confirms as you two are next in line.
"Yup!" You say in awe. You can already taste it in your mouth.
You two move up in line and are greeted by the worker.
"Hi! What would you like today?" The girl, probably 16 or so, asks. She seems nice and bubbly, like a child that never truly grew up.
"One (C/F/I/F) and one (F/I/F). Both in cones, please." (C/N) replies kindly.
"Coming right up!" The girl says enthusiastically.
You smile sweetly at her innocent persona. She seems so carefree. You wish you could be like that.
She comes back after about a minute and hands you two the cones.
"That'll be..." she pauses to looks at the screen, "$4.20!" She says.
You reach into your pocket for your wallet, but (C/N) places his hand on your arm, stopping you, and pays.

You two go outside to the nearby park and talk.
"Oh, yeah!" You say, recalling the fact that he paid for the ice cream. "Let me pay you back for the ice cream!" You say, reaching into your pocket.
"Nah, it's fine." He says. When he looks at your face, he bursts out laughing.
"What is it?" You ask, suddenly becoming a bit self-conscious.
"You have ice cream on your face!" He says between laughs.
You giggle lightly and try to lick the ice cream around your mouth.
"Let me get it for you." (C/N) offers, reaching out his hand with a napkin.
He moves closer to you and you see his face turn pink. You also feel your face heat up at the closeness.
He crumbles the napkin after he wipe stage ice cream off, but doesn't move back.
And it seems as if the whole world went silent. He smiles softly at you and you smile back.
Everything felt like pure bliss.
