They reached the park in comfortable silence. Not many people were at the park but a few families making their way home walked past them. Some kids ran straight through and under Huaisang and Wen Chao's linked hands.

Wen Chao looked up at the sky and took a deep breath. Enjoying the sun shining and the feeling of Huaisang's hand in his.

Huaisang spotted a bench in the corner of his eye and dragged Wen Chao over. He dramatically flopped on it and sighed.

"Today has been so good," Huaisang's eyes closed and a smile placed itself on his lips.

Wen Chao followed Huaisang to the bench and sat down next to him.

"It really has." When he looked over he noticed Huaisang's eyes closed and looked over his face, his eyes then wandered to his lips and he started leaning closer but stopped himself and backed away.

"Do it." Huaisang felt the shift of presence next to him, he could tell that after moving in Wen Chao backed away again. 

He half-opened his eyes and looked at Wen Chao.

"Huh? Do what?" He tried to pretend he didn't know what Huaisang was talking about.

"Gosh, you're a terrible actor." Huaisang shifted and pulled Wen Chao in by his collar, kissing him before slightly shoving him back again.

"No time for regrets." Huaisang then jumped up standing in front of Wen Chao, waiting for him to do the same.

Wen Chao froze for a moment, a bit shocked from suddenly being kissed. After a few moments, he stood up.

"R-right.."

Huaisang skipped a few paces ahead of Wen Chao laughing at his own actions. Once they reached the exit to the park Huaisang stopped and looked up. He followed after Huaisang keeping quiet because he wasn't quite sure of what to say. He gave Huaisang a bit of a confused look when he stopped. Huaisang's thoughts drifted to a past memory causing his mood to drop. He looked back at Wen Chao.

"I'm sorry, that was rude of me." He gave a sad smile.

Wen Chao placed a hand on Huaisang's shoulder.

"Hey..don't apologize, it's alright..." His expression changed from confused to worried.

"Ah, okay." Huaisang fiddled with his fingers and looked down.

Wen Chao had never been very good with comforting people or feelings in general so he wasn't sure quite what to do. After a few moments, he wrapped his arms around Huaisang, pulling him into a hug.

Huaisang was surprised at the sudden hug but gripped onto the back of Wen Chao's clothes and buried his head in his chest. A few tears escaped Huaisang's eyes and soaked into Wen Chao's shirt.

Wen Chao stayed silent not knowing what to say, he wanted to let Huaisang know he was there for him but he didn't know how to. When huaisang pulled away he let out a shy laugh, sniffling and wiping his eyes.
