Chapter 37

That night Ben is at the door of Joe's hotel room at exactly nine o'clock. He knocks on the door, his hands slightly shaking because of the nerves.
'I'm coming!' Joe's voice comes from behind the door, and sounds a little stressed. Not much later the door opens. Joe stands slightly breathless in the doorway.
'Why such a rush?' Ben asks laughing.
'Well, I can't keep such a special person waiting.' Joe looks at Ben with a grin on his face.
'Ready to relax?' Ben asks, looking at Joe from head to toe. He is wearing jeans, a shirt and a vest.
Joe nods. 'Always if it's with you.' He says with a smile.
Ben reaches his hand out and takes Joe to his car. 'Now you're the one who's going to be blindfolded, Blanket.' He says with a smirk.
Joe giggles softly. 'Can I just say I love that nickname?' Joe says shyly while Ben blindfolds him.
Ben smiles widely. 'I already figured that out.' He carefully guides Joe into the car and puts on his seat belt. After that he takes place behind the wheel. 'Ready to go?'
Joe's smile grows even bigger. 'More ready than ever.' 

For the rest of the drive, Joe's smile never leaves his face.
When they arrive at their date location, Ben takes Joe's blindfold off.
Joe blinks a few times, then looks around. All he sees are some small houses and some shops. He does, however, hear sea sounds in the background.
'Take off your shoes.' Ben says with a mysterious smile.
Joe gives him a questioning look.
Ben giggles softly. 'Trust me. Take off your shoes.'
Joe looks into Ben's bright green eyes, which sparkle in the moonlight. He nods and takes off his shoes.
Ben quickly does the same. He takes Joe's hand and pulls him along with a smile.
'Benny, the sidewalk is hurting my feet.' Joe says, trying not to sound too whiny.
Ben grins. 'We're almost there.' He says.
Joe giggles softly. 'Okay.'
With a playful smirk, Ben looks at the boy. Suddenly he scoops up Joe, carrying him in bridal style.
Joe lets out a loud yelp as soon as he feels himself being lifted off the ground. 'BEN!' He exclaims between his giggles.
'Just hold on. Almost there.' Ben says softly, sending goosebumps all over Joe's body.

After turning around the corner, Ben gently puts Joe down.
With big smile, Joe looks around. 'We're at the beach?' He whispers in awe.
Ben nods, feeling his heart beating in his throat. What if Joe thinks he's a total arse for taking him here. But when Joe takes his hand with a huge smile, the blond is a bit more reassured already.
'I love the beach.' Joe smiles.
Together they walk along the surf of the sea, still holding hands.
Joe lets out a soft giggle when he feels the water of the see flowing between his toes. 'Now I get why I had to take my shoes off.'
Ben smiles widely at that. 'Good. Because I was afraid you might I'm either going crazy or being a total dick for bringing you here.' He says.
'Don't worry about that. I love it already.' Joe whispers to Ben.
'And this is just the beginning of this night with my favorite blanket.' Ben says to him.
Joe briefly looks down in shyness, feeling his cheeks getting more and more red.
And although it is almost completely dark outside, Ben sees it. 'Has anyone ever told you that you look cute when you blush?' The blond asks with a little smirk.
'Uhm no not yet, I believe.' Joe says, feeling his cheeks turn even redder.
'Then I'll be the first. You look really cute.' Ben says before intertwining their fingers.
The two walk on, enjoying the water that flows between their feet.
Then Joe sees some lights in the distance. 'What's that over there?' He asks curiously.
Ben chuckles. 'That's where the rest of our evening takes place.' He says with a small smile.

When they get close enough to the lights, Joe lets out a soft gasp. He sees a large white screen and a film projector. In front of the canvas is a double lounger, with a mattress and all blankets and pillows on it. Torches and candles are all around it. 'Ben..... I am speechless.' Joe whispers.
'Fancy a movie?' Ben reaches his hand out to Joe and bows slightly.
Joe giggles softly and takes his hand. 'I would love nothing more. Which movie did you pick?' Joe asks curiously.
'It's called "Only the brave". I hope you like it?' Ben says with a slight smirk. He has to do his best not to show that he already knows Joe likes the movie. 
Joe looks at him in surprise and starts to blush in embarrassment. 'That's my favorite movie.' He says softly. The only reason he keeps watching that mobie over and over is because he loves how Ben looks in a firemen's outfit. 'How did you know?'
Ben smirks even more, melting at the sight of Joe's red cheeks. 'I did my research.' He says.
'I just love that movie because there is a very special person in it.' Joe says softly. 
He and Ben plop down on the lounger, immediately crawling close to each other.
'Oh, should I be jealous?' Ben asks with a small grin.
'Mhm, I think you should. He is very handsome.' Joe says before gently letting his head rest on Ben's chest.
'Well, that guy is very lucky with you then.' Ben whispers in Joe's ear.
It sends shivers down the boy's spine.  

'Benny?' Joe says after watching the movie for 45 minutes.
Ben turns down the sound of the movie. From under the blanket that they're lying under, two hazel eyes stare at him.
'I love you.' Joe whispers.
'I love you more.' Ben whispers back with a big smile.
'Impossible.' Joe says.
'Well, let me show you.' Ben says with a big grin. He gently cups Joe's cheek with his hand, letting his fingers roam over the boy's skin.
Joe sits up and nods. 'Please.' He mumbles, staring at Ben's lips eagerly.
They look each other in the eye, and smash their lips together.
Ben slips his tongue in Joe's mouth, letting their tongues dance like never before. 
Joe hums into the kiss, sending goosebumps all over Ben's body.  
When they break the kiss, Joe looks deep into Ben's eyes. 'Okay, you win.' He whispers.
Ben smirks at that, and he gets up from under the blanket.
Joe looks at Ben questioningly when he sees the boy looking for something. He doesn't understand what the blond is up to, but keeps smiling at him.
Then Ben takes a red rose from his bag. He sits down next to Joe again and hands the rose to him. 'Joey, do you want to make me happy by saying that from now on I can call you my boyfriend?' Ben asks shyly. He feels his heart beating twice as fast as normal.
Joe looks at him with wide eyes. 'Really?' He whispers in disbelieve.
Ben nods.
'Yes. Yes please. I love you.' Joe says before crawling on top of Ben's lap. He leans in, and gives Ben a kiss. 'I love you so so much, Benny.' He says with a big smile.
Ben giggles at this nickname. 'May I say I love that nickname.' He says with a smile.
'Hmm, I heard that before today.' Joe says, wrapping his legs around Ben's waist. 
'Well, I don't remember anymore. I was too busy showing my boyfriend that I love him.' Ben whispers.
Joe lets his head rest on Ben's lower shoulder, and briefly closes his eyes. 'Mission accomplished.' He mumbles, feeling his heart glowing in his chest.
