"Erm…" Teo cleared his throat and thought, Why is it so awkward!?

Sebastian focuses on the road. He’s trying to. He thought, It's our first time going out alone… What should I do? What should I say? What if I say the wrong things and ruin this?

Usually there's Laurent with us… And he told me the guy who won the bid took him out for arcades and spoke about our cafe, it was a real fun casual hangout he said. Teo sighs and pinches the seatbelt from time to time.

Both of them were feeling flustered. Teo looks at Sebastian from time to time, thinking. He looks hot while driving. Teo's eyes widened and tried to distract himself, "Where are we going?" His voice is a little bit louder than his normal tone, surprising Sebastian.

"To a restaurant first, you must be hungry. I reserved us seats" Sebastian said, turning to the right "We're almost there" He looked at Teo and smiled at him, then back at the road. His heart is pounding right now.

Teo's stomach was filled with butterflies. What are you doing to me Sebastian?!

♡♡♡

Sebastian is frowning, he looks a bit angry "It's closed" They read the sign that was on the restaurant’s door.

"It's okay!" Teo tried to cheer him up since he looked so mad. This is the first time he saw him like this. 

He took me to a really fancy restaurant… I can’t afford it, I’m kind of thankful it was closed.

Sebastian sighed "They didn't even contact me" His brows furrowed. Teo just stared at him, mesmerized.

Is he mad? He looks hot… Ugh Teo! Why do you have to think that for every move he makes?! Teo looked around the area to find a solution.

"Emergency my ass…" Sebastian muttered under his breath, looking at the ground. He turned to look at Teo with puppy eyes "Sorry about this Teo" 

I've never heard him cuss before. Teo looked at Sebastian and then laughed "Let's go, leave the car there, I know somewhere way cheaper!" He unconsciously grabbed Sebastian’s arm.

"Do we have a reservation there?" Sebastian asked, letting Teo pull his arm. His face felt warm, his touch made his heart jump for joy.

Teo laughed again, relieved that it's not awkward anymore. "You don't need reservation in fast food!" 

♡♡♡

"Let's go order," Teo said, still pulling Sebastian's arm excitedly.

Sebastian has never been at a place with so many people before "The line is so long" He usually doesn’t like crowded places but he’s with Teo right now, he doesn’t mind.

Teo finally let go of Sebastian and stood in line "It's faster than you think" 

What should I do? I haven't been here before. Sebastian thought, observing his surroundings. Then Sebastian leaned in close to Teo's ear and whispered "Teo, I don't know anything about this place, where do we sit?" 

Teo's ear turned into a bright shade of red, Sebastian’s hot breath tickled his ear a bit. He turned to look at him "A-Anywhere. I got this, alright? Why don't you go and find a table" He felt so embarrassed being so close to him that he tried to send him away.

"Find?" Sebastian asked, genuinely confused. He looked like a lost puppy.

Teo chuckled nervously, afraid he might get lost "Or just stay here with me, we'll order soon" He looked at Sebastian, he looked like a little kid right now. So adorable.

A few minutes later it was their turn to order "I'll have two orders of PM1 and unli rice please! Oh and halo-halo for dessert!" Teo points at the menu as he orders. He missed eating here.

"Unli rice?" Sebastian asked, peeking from behind. Observing Teo as well.

Teo nods "Yeah, you call for someone and they give you more rice, any amount you want" 

"That's so cool" Sebastian's eyes sparkled.

♡♡♡

They're both seated and are waiting for their order, then Sebastian asked "Why is it so cheap if it's unlimited?" 

"It's not cheap at all" Teo told him with a slight laugh, he was the one who paid for the meal.

Sebastian panicked "R-Really?! I'll pay you back! Sorry I left my wallet in the car" He felt guilty and stupid. How can I forget?! Stupid Sebastian! Idiot!

"I-I didn't mean you had to– it's my treat since you already do so much for me and my ma" Teo smiled, holding their number for the order “I’m hungry”

Sebastian then muttered, "Not really… I wanna do more for you" but Teo didn't hear it because of all the noise in the establishment.

♡♡♡

"You can ask for more rice, see that guy roaming around? He also gives you free soup, more chicken oil and more soy sauce" Teo said. They're both eating and Sebastian seems to be enjoying it.

"How come I've never eaten here before? This tastes good" Sebastian said and kept eating, he has a huge appetite. He’s actually the only one in their whole family who hasn’t eaten there since he literally never goes out much.

Teo feels butterflies again while watching Sebastian "Don't fill up too much, we have dessert" He averts his gaze. Everything he does, he looks hot and adorable. Damn it! I wanna pinch his cheeks.

♡♡♡

"Halo-halo! Finally" Teo was so happy it arrived "I haven't had this in a looong time" 

"You love sweets so much" 

"How did you know?" Teo asked, mixing the dessert.

Sebastian did the same and continued speaking "You always eat the desserts mom makes even though they're failed ones" 

"How about you? You always order sweets at the cafe!" Teo pointed his spoon at him "See? You love it too" 

Sebastian laughed, finally lowering his guard "You're cute" and continued mixing his dessert while Teo stopped for a second.

What did he just say to me? How can he be cute one second and hot the next? Dang it Sebastian!! Teo chuckled. His mind overflowed with thoughts of Sebastian.

♡♡♡

"Aaah! I'm so full!" Teo rubbed his stomach and stretched while they walked back to the car.

Sebastian did the same. He unconsciously copies Teo from time to time "I'm full too. We ate a lot" They both laughed a bit and went inside the car.

"Let's go to the mall next" Sebastian said, having a good time with Teo "Let's go to the arcades!" He's starting to show his true self.

Teo nodded "Let's go!" 

Both of them are thinking the same thing. I might be getting too excited.

♡♡♡

Teo pulled Sebastian's hand this time, not his arm and exclaimed "Let's play basketball!" It was like they were holding hands.

Sebastian looked at their hands holding each other and thought, Oh my fuck, he’s holding my hand! Fuck! FUCK! Outside he just smiled calmly and said "Sure" 

He's always been good at basketball even in high school, Sebastian thought and had a flashback in his mind, watching Teo play. Those were the days he couldn’t even speak to him.

They started playing and Teo laughed at him "Sebastian! You suck at this!" 

Sebastian blushed with furrowed brows "I-I'm not good at sports! You’re good at this, it’s unfair" 

"I used to play a lot in our street. What are you good at? Maybe you'll enjoy that even more?" Teo suggested and Sebastian pondered.

"Video games?" 

Teo pointed at something behind Sebastian "There, a shooting game, let's try it out" 

They both walked over there. Sebastian felt confident and said "My sister always beat me at this game but I'm pretty good as well" He felt smug.

"Maybe I'll beat you?" Teo teased and grabbed the toy gun from the machine.

Sebastian did the same and smirked "I doubt it" 

♡♡♡

"How?!" Sebastian pouted and sighed "How can you beat me at that? You're too good, you beat me at everything" His shoulders slumped a bit. 

Teo's eyes glistened. He's way too adorable!! He couldn't help himself so he pinched his cheeks.

"Wha-?!" Sebastian was shocked, his face turning red while Teo pinched it.

Teo chuckled "Sorry, you're cute when you pout" He then let go and walked away from embarrassment.

Sebastian rubbed his blushing face and smiled "Heh" 

♡♡♡

"Photobooth" Sebastian pointed out "Let's go there. My sister and I always go there" He was too giddy.

Teo nods but hesitates "But it's expensive" 

"It's okay, I got it!" Sebastian said, this time he was the one pulling Teo inside the photo booth.

It was way more cramped than they thought with how huge Sebastian was. Their shoulders are touching.

Dang he smells good… Teo thought, trying not to be obvious that he's excited.

My heart is beating so fast… Sebastian looked at Teo, since he was smaller than him, he was looking at the top of his head. His hair smells good…

"Ready?" Teo asked and Sebastian nodded. They both posed for the photo booth. It was awkward at first but they enjoyed retaking the photos and suddenly everything felt so natural.

♡♡♡

"The photos came out so nicely!" Teo took it from the machine "So cute!! Look at this” He took his time observing the printed photo that came out. 

Sebastian blushed "Should we split the photos?" He peeked from Teo’s side, glancing at him from time to time.

"Of course! But let's do it at home since I want it to cut properly!" Teo said and kept the photo in his bag carefully, to not crinkle it. He then looked around, a small room caught his eye "Sebastian, do you sing?" 

Sebastian paused for a moment "Yeah…" He pursed his lips and averted his gaze, feeling sheepish.

"YOU DO?!" Teo was shocked, maybe because he thought Sebastian was just a chill quiet guy who stays on the sidelines because he wants to "Then come on, let's sing together" 

TOGETHER? Sebastian's heart raced once again. Singing with Teo… I'd like that.

They went inside a small room with karaoke and swiped their game card there. "Okay, what song?" Teo started to flip through the pages.

Teo entered the numbers for the song. He then said "Oh, here!" He was so excited to hear Sebastian sing. The song starts and Teo starts singing. His voice was terrible but because it was him, Sebastian thought it was the best voice he's heard.

The chorus started and Sebastian starts singing too, Teo looked at him with wide eyes "What the fuck?" 

♫ It’s just you and me… No need to be afraid…

♫ Baby, just count to three ~

Sebastian smiles while singing making him look even more attractive, he's trying hard not to laugh at Teo's reaction and focuses on singing. 

♫ We’ll see what we could be someday ~

Teo stopped singing and watched him in awe. His voice is so soothing!! The second verse starts and Sebastian continues singing. Teo’s jaw dropped.

Sebastian continued singing, staring intensely at Teo, his eyes clearly full of love. The chorus played again but Sebastian stopped with a pout "I thought you were going to sing with me?" 

Teo had no idea Sebastian could be this smug, he almost melted with his intense gaze. He was blushing madly without realizing it. He chuckled "Alright alright" 

He knows what he's doing acting like that. Sebastian… You’re actually quite cheeky!

They both continued singing, even though Teo's voice was terrible. Not one of them was aware that they’re falling… In Sebastian’s case, he was falling harder.

♡♡♡

"Your voice sounds so good?!" Teo gasped once they got out of the small karaoke room. He didn’t expect their time there to be so intense. The room felt so hot.

Sebastian laughed “Now you notice?" His gazes now are different from before. He’s become even more mischievous.

Teo's eyes widened, he was taken aback by the sudden change in his attitude. Is this the same Sebastian I know?! He couldn’t help but blush, feeling his heart beat faster.

"Dad always makes me sing at company parties" He added as they started walking away, side by side. They don’t even notice how close they are.

Teo then asked "You sing for others too?" He looks up a bit to see Sebastian’s reaction.

"Yep. I just stare at the windows or something whenever I sing. I don't like people that much" Sebastian nods at Teo's questions. He’s finally comfortable showing his true self to him, so it’s not awkward anymore.

Right… He doesn't like other people that much, Teo thought and wondered if Sebastian was having a bad time but it doesn't seem like it. It was clear they were both enjoying themselves. A little bit too much actually. Teo then decided to joke around "I wish I was always there so you'd just have to stare at me instead of the window!" 

"I wish that too" Sebastian said with a small smirk, catching Teo off guard. 

Teo is now a blushing mess "I-I mean–! You–!" He was supposed to be the one to catch him off guard but now it’s the opposite. He felt a bit embarrassed.

♡♡♡

"It's okay, I've been here with my family a bunch of times, it's safe" Sebastian tried to convince Teo to ride the ferris wheel near the bay. 

"I've never been there before" Teo said, quite nervous but Sebastian already bought the tickets, he didn’t want it to go to waste. Teo and Sebastian went inside the air conditioned ferris wheel, it was moving very slow. They sat in front of each other.

"Sorry, we didn't have to… Are you scared of heights?" Sebastian asked, feeling guilty he pushed Teo to do it. In reality, Teo was just nervous to be alone with Sebastian in a closed space for a long time.

Teo nodded. Sorry for lying! Ugh Teo stop thinking of naughty stuff!

"Do you want to… hold my hand if you're scared?" Sebastian asked, genuinely worried about Teo. He stretched his hand towards him, waiting. They were quite far from the ground now so they can’t go back.

Teo blushed and took the chance, he held Sebastian's hand. He didn't notice that Sebastian is also flustered at the moment but he shrugged it off for Teo. Sebastian sat beside him to give him more comfort, they both looked out the window with blushing faces, their hands that held each other rested in the space between them.

Teo felt feverish, he covered his face with his other hand, he felt even more dizzy when he realized what Sebastian did. Sebastian intertwined their fingers. Both of them are looking out of the window but their hands are connected. 

We’re holding hands!! He’s not pulling back!! Sebastian's brain was about to blow a fuse from all the excitement he's feeling at the moment. He felt so lightheaded and ecstatic that he couldn’t focus on the view at all despite staring out. He wanted to turn to his side and look at Teo’s reaction but he was far too shy to even move

♡♡♡

"We're at the top!!" Teo was thrilled and suddenly let go of Sebastian's hand. He took his phone from his pocket and started taking photos outside. It was his first time riding the MOA Eye.

Sebastian also took his phone out, but instead of taking a picture of the view, he took a photo of Teo. The flash was on and also the sound. He panicked and turned his phone off quickly.

"Did you just–?!" Teo turned to look at him "No! Sebastian! Let me see" His eyes widened.

Sebastian grinned mischievously "No, you'll delete it" 

Teo turned his phone towards Sebastian "Then I want a photo too!" He quickly snapped a blurry photo of him as revenge. Both photos of them were blurry but it's more than enough to make them happy.
