Andy's pov

"Andy come on! Are you a snail or something?!" Rye was running way ahead of me. God, why was I doing this again? "Come on Andy. Trust me Andy. It's going to be very romantic Andy!" Yeah a swimming pool on your back is indeed VERY romantic! I looked at Rye who was skipping around like a six year old boy. He was carrying a picknick basket, what are we going to do?

He turned around and waited for me: "Come on. Otherwise we're going to miss the sunset!"

"God, I wished I had a condition" I mumbled to myself and picked up my pace. Rye had taken me to the top off a hill for a picknick with a sunset. We did that a lot the past couple of weeks. There wasn't a lot of privacy in the house, so if we wanted to dodge the cheesy comments of the boys, we had to escape the house. Chasing sunsets was always something Rye enjoyed a lot, and he kinda dragged me into it. I didn't mind actually. We would ly on each other and watched the view. We also snuggled on the grass so he could read books and I watched him reading them. There was something quite hypnotic about seeing his eyes go from the left to the right over the pages and him flipping them after he had finished reading them. I had taken him to a very old library a week ago. I didn't really see the fun of it, but Rye looked like a kid in the Willy Wonka factory. He let me smell old books. Yeah, I was weirded out by it first as well. But later the smell grew on to me, and now whenever he leans a very old book where the pages have coloured brown, I have to sniff it!
I am reading more as well, but not the same books as Rye; he likes to read love stories and poetical things, while I like mystery and murder books.
Rye did not only throw reading on me, he also introduced me to the world of art. And by introducing I mean; forcing me to sit down for two hours so he can draw or paint me.
"Draw me like one of your French girls Jack."
He dragged me to museums and galleries and exhibitions. To old buildings and castles and places you have to visit. I like the road trips we do; he drives so I can stare out of the window and take in the scenery while listening to some music. Ow God, speaking about that, don't let me get started about the weird concerts he takes me too. But whatever, I enjoy them eventually.

I have put things on him as well; like going to gay bars and drag shows. I was introduced to them by Vee, Camille and Sofie and I quite enjoyed them. Rye did not like it at first, but quickly got the hang of it and enjoyed the attention when he was shaking his booty... Yeah, people say I am weird when I'm drunk but you've got to see Rye! Twerking half naked with a pride flag on the bar on Abba's Dancing Queen.
We like to play games together and Rye bought a Nintendo Switch with Animal Crossing for us to share, not that there comes a lot from sharing though. I just love that game! Rye and I both share a love for animals and good singer songwriters so we went to bars or concerts form unknown artist, and too zoo's and pet places.

All those things, yet the best thing was when Rye and I were lying in the hammock in the garden together with a cup of tea in completely silence, just enjoying each other's company. Waking up next to him was also the best thing. Snuggled in his arms while he breathes slowly into my hair.

So many things have happened the last couple of months, and I cannot believe that I am here right now with my Rye. He showed me all his love that he could possibly show. I wasn't scared anymore that he was going to leave me again. He loves me, and he now knows that.

"What is on your mind Bunny?"

"You." I said. Rye smiled and pulled me onto the blanket he had spread out for us. We watched the sun go down.

"This is a beautiful spot." I said.

"I know, otherwise I wouldn't take you here."

"Sure, how about the rooftop and-"
