His eyes widened and so did a smile when he found Toshi trying to keep himself from crying happily. He scooted to the other side of the booth next to him and wrapped an arm around him. thankfully no one was paying attention to them. Hence why it felt like it was only the two of them in the entire world.
He kissed the other's temple, taking the ring and sliding it over his lover's finger. "I'm glad you like it..." he sighed.
Toshi pressed it against Alek's shoulder, sniffling louder and louder while more tears poured from his chocolate brown eyes. He couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe how far they had come. The day they had met felt just like it was yesterday, when Ram had tried to hurt Toshi while he was trying to help a poor kid getting bullied by the jock. And just as Toshi was about to get knocked down by Ram, Alek intervened and actually ended up taking him out. And right after, when everyone ran away from the scene, it was just the two of them, walking down the hall and chatting together happily. It almost seemed like a dream even.
The first date they went on, the day they declared they were dating, their first kiss, their first time making love. It was all amazing, and it was surprising how far they had gotten within these very few months. Toshi sniffled more and more, leaning against Alek and pressing a ever so gentle kiss upon his cheek.
He teen let out a quiet sigh, cuddling next to him. "Now lets dig in and 'accidentally' kiss with the spaghetti..." he chuckled, running a hand through the other's hair comfortingly and soothigkynlow mis rop
It was nearly an hour or so after once the two boys had finally left from the restaurant, after eating nearly most of all that spaghetti meal and the delicious cake as well. Toshi was slumped against the couch, patting at his poor full belly sadly. Of course he was the one that ate most of the spaghetti because Alek was a diet freak. But he didn't mind, even though he felt like a tiny stuffed pig after that large meal.
The boy however was more focused on the ring upon his finger, examining it with bright eyes while his fingers covered his tummy. The TV, which had Netflix on of course, was currently looking up some movies or cartoons they could watch together. Simple couple things.
Alek had a pale, bare, tattooed arm around Toshi's shoulders, holding him closer to lean against him more. He loved just cuddling with him and being with him like this...
He licked his dry, pink lips as his eyes would mostly be on either Toshi or the tv. "What do you feel like watching, babe?" He finally let out softly, his hand playing with the strand of the other's soft white hair. His glasses were back on, now that Toshi knew about them, and his ombré hair was more messy and wasn't gelled back anymore. He was in a loose, oversized dark gray shirt with the same red plaid cotton sweatpants from before, his bare feet folding over the coffee table.
Toshi sighed happily as he snuggled up upon Alek's side, burying his nose against his soft gray shirt. The gentle scent of Alek's natural musk mixed with a little bit of men's perfume felt nice, a scent he was familiar with for a long time. Honestly, he loved cuddling up with Alek on the couch, watching a nice TV show or movie with him while eating some popcorn together.
The teen wore an oversized galaxy themed T-shirt, having his favorite pair of snug cotton gray sweatpants on his body. His sock covered feet were pulled up onto the couch, resting on some of the pillows while his white and black hair was a total wreck. "I would like to watch some horror movie, but I'm scared I'll splurge out all the spaghetti and that delicious red velvet cake!" He said with a small giggle, pressing as few kisses down his boyfriend jawline.
He laughed quietly at the response, now kissing his temple. "Don't worry, I won't let Pennywise scare the shit out of you~" the teen chuckled, holding him closely. Alek was still looking at him most of the time, either disbelief or amusement or love in his eyes. Well, now that he met Toshi, he always had love in his eyes when he looked at him... he had fallen for Toshi, and hard. And the last time he truly loved someone was only a few years ago. To find this hope again made his heart melt... so he savored the time he had with his lover right now.
Toshi giggled softly as he felt Alek's lips press on his temple, his head resting against his chest. His fingers slowly circled across his chest, feeling the curves of his muscles with the tips of his fingers. "Alek, don't bring up It right now. Just the thought of that terrifying clown coming after us just scares me, especially with the scene where the kids gets dragged through a pipe." The teen replied, shivering fearfully as he remembered that movie quite well. But the strong embrace that he shared with Alek made Toshi feel safe, loved. Not once did he ever imagine that he would get a boyfriend, or even a friend like this sweet boy. He always stared at Alek lovingly, though it was often in secret... he had fallen for Alek, hard. Very hard. Last time he ever loved someone like this was a few years ago, but it was a simple crush that never was returned. To find hope and love once more only made his heart melt into a puddle of goo, and he hoped that this would never end.
Alek smirked. "But think about that time where he was just dancing. You should see all those 'memes' on that scene on YouTube." He laughed. God, he'd watch the weirdest things on that social media in his bored free time.
The teen was proud to finally be someone who made someone feel safe and special and loved... especially if he felt the same. He kissed the other's temple again with his dry, pink lips. "So, if not IT, what about the Babadook?" He suggested.
Tosh shook his head, reaching up and lightly pokint Alek's right dimple. "Babe no, you don't need internet culture dating your mind. Or getting ideas from Pennywise. Though now I'm imagining you as a clown, terrifying Ram before you finished him." He joked, giggling at the idea of Alek in some poofy clown disguise. Sure, it was a little sick to think of, but wouldn't that be funny?
The teen shook his head quickly, hiding his face in Alek's shirt. "I'd rather die than watch that movie. Can't we watch something funny, like Shrek? You haven't seen that yet before." He suggested with a flutter of his eyelashes.
He snorted at the first comment. "Bitch, I might wear a bit foundation, but there's no way in hell im doing clown makeup." He laughed.
"I'm always in the mood for horror movies. But if you wanna watch something funny, we'll watch something funny. And I've never watched dreamworks or Disney..." he sighed with a shrug, kissing the other's soft cheek again.
Toshi giggled even more, unable to contain his sweet melodious laughter with how sarcastic and adorable Alek was. Which was an odd thing to say about his boyfriend, because he was the least bit adorable most of times. But those quirky little moments where he was cute was definitely a treat. "Okay, Shrek it is! And believe my Alek, you're going to be surprised about what song you played for me for your dorky promposal." He teased while pulling up the movie, but before he clicked back he scooched his way up onto his boyfriends thighs. He happily sat upon them with his plush bottom, feeling happy to be able to cuddle with Alek while on his lap.
Alek rolled his eyes with an amused smirk. "Okay, I trust you babe..."
But when Toshi sat on his lap with that ass he had... his face grew red and he blinked, feeling a BLEHHHH already forming. He could only pray Toshi didn't feel it and that they could move on...
He forced his eyes on the tv, waiting for Toshi to put it on.
After a bit of shifting, Toshi however did feel a disturbance, as one might say. And that said disturbance surprised him indeed. The teen slowly turned back, giving Alek and embarrassed and disappointed look. "Aleksander you have got to be kidding me." He stated with red cheeks, trying not to be highly embarrassed over the fact that his boyfriend was way too overly attracted to his ass. Oh why did he have to be born with such attractive curves?
Alek blushed, an innocent but frustrated look on his face. "I'm sorry! It's not my fault! It's what happens when you sit on my lap!" He complained, his face red like a tomato. Why did he have to be so freakin attracted to Toshi like this? He was usually the cool guy, but now he was just straight off embarrassed... "I CANT CONTROL THIS SHIT OKAY?" He continued in frustration. He really couldn't do anything to keep him...
Toshi sighed, pushing the remote away. The small teen turned around carefully, now technically straddling Alek's knees despite sitting with his shins on top of his. The little Asian leaned up a kissed his lips, blushing more and more. "I mean... I-I don't blame you, I'm just surprised you think I'm this attractive. Even in your giant shirt." He said with a small, innocent giggle, looking like he was wearing a dress with how big Alek's shirt was on him.
The next 2 days, Alek was casually laying on the couch scrolling through his laptop. Apparently, and fortunately, Toshi got hired for the waiter job with Danny so he was out on his first shift. The teen would go and bother him, but it wouldn't do nogood making his lover so distracted and anxious his first time on the job.
He was wearing a loose dark gray tank that hung low under his arms, showing off some of his torso muscles, and his arms bare and muscled as well. He was wearing a comfortable pair of black leggings that reached in between mid calf and his ankle. As lazy as his outfit was, he was already completely ready for the public. Most people were comfortable without wearing make up, but he felt clean with it and being clean made him comfortable.
Surprisingly, he heard the doorbell ring. He blinked in confusion. It was around 2:30 PM but who in the hell would be coming by?
Aleksander let out a groan, getting up to his feet and walking over. When he opened the door, he raised a curious eyebrow at the sight of Mikivikious at his doorstep. "Toshi ain't here."
"Oh don't worry I didn't come for him~" the taller male chuckled out with a wink.
"Not interested, Creep." Then he shut the door.
"Hey wait!" Came the muffled yell. He sighed, opening it again.
"What do you want?" He grumbled.
"A date?"
"Bitch I have a fucking engagement ring on. And after yelling my head off at you the first time do you really think I'd say yes?"
"I mean..." Miki cleared his throat. "I'd say yes if a guy whose ass looks great in leggings asked me out." He shrugged. "Wouldn't you say yes if a guy with really nice eyebrows asked you out?"
"No."
Being hired for the job was honestly one of Toshi's grestest accomplishments, or at least in his opinion. The little asian never really was able to get jobs, likely due to his anxiety and clumsiness. Often or not he would trip over his words or feet whenever talking to people, and often just relied on his allowance his parents used to give him back then. Back before the incident, before when he met Alek, before they left that old life.
However, he did learn quickly that being a waiter could be a bit of a stressful job. Usually keeping up with orders and whatnot had him tuckered out, so Danny had only put him mainly on cleanup duty for the morning shift. Luckily he would only do morning and afternoon shifts, so no worries about coming home late at night.
But when he came home, he was not wearing the outfit he thought he would wear for the job. Or at least on the first day. The young teen had his hair cutely pinned up, wearing a 50's-esque black, white, and blue waitress outfit, with a skirt and blouse. Every single feminine clothing item Danny stuffed the poor boy into. At least they let him keep his boots!
The teen was blushing madly as he walked down the driveway, trying to keep his skirt down in embarrassment. God, why did people have to force him into such weird clothing? It was of course for a bet all the workers did, and evil bet at that, but at least he got some extra cash from it.
Though as he was about to come up to the door, he noticed Miki and Alek arguing. "Huh, why's Miki here? Shouldn't he be doing some dumb photo shoot? And Alek seems really angry... Unless he isn't." Panic began to come to him as he stepped up, the heels of his boots lightly clicking against the stone stairs.
Mik just chuckled at that response. "One chance~"
"I'm dating someone smartass." He continued with a growl and a cold glare in his eye.
"I'll screw your boyfriend if you don't." He threatened teasingly. Which riled the teen up a bit.
"You're over the age of 18. He's under the age of 18. First it would be considered just plain old pedophilia, but also as molest because it'd be without his consent. If you touch him I have a cell phone in my pocket ready to call 911." He went on.
Mikivikious blinked. "Fine I was just teasing you-"
"You shouldn't tease about molesting my boyfriend-"
"Ohcome on. Just go on a date with me once~" Mikivikious began reaching over as Alek leaned against the doorframe with folded arms and his hip jutted to the other side. Miki attempt to grab his ass until the teen panicked and smacked his arm away, backing away. A bit of anxiety was in his eyes, a flashback of that disturbing incident when he was 16 hitting him back in the head. Instant goosebumps we're on his arms and Mikivikious noticed. The taller blinked, noting how uncomfortable Alek was and putting his hand back in his pockets. But before he could continue, he heard someone coming closer. He turned to find Toshi on the steps when the cutest outfit he's ever seen. Mimi's face blushed a little, a cocky smirk now on his face. "Well hey there sexy~" he chuckled out, which added another punch to the face by Alek. "WHAT THE HELL IS WITH YOU AND VIOLENCE YOU HUMANPHOBIC DIPSHIT?!" He screeched, rubbing his cheek angrily.
"Keep your eyes to yourself, pervert. Leave us alone." He snapped, reaching out to gently take Toshi's hand and softly pulling him inside. He wasn't going to drool over Toshi until they were inside, really.
Toshi eyed the two teens as they began to argue, a bit surprised that Miki was even attempting to ask him out. Was this guy such a damn clingy horndog who just wanted to get his hands on any good looking guy that his stupid eyes laid on? Literally he tried to attract the guy when he was in middle school, why now was he coming after him! Or especially Alek, who he swore Miki wanted to deck because he kept the guy from coming anywhere near him.
But now the asshole was trying to grope his boyfriend, who could break Mikivikious in half, and right in front of him too. But before he could open his mouth, he was grabbed by Alek and pulled inside, and he knew Miki was trying to check him out. "W-Wait Alek, what're you doing?!" He yelled as he was pushed on through, his skirt almost lifting up with how fast he was jerked on through the doorway.
