Aoba sheepishly laughed. “ . . . Sorry. We can retake it again! I don’t mind . . . “ .

It could be worse, what mattered the most to Aoba was the smile on the other man. He's going to cherish these photos for as long as their relationship lasts. "Eh next time, look at the camera. It shows on the upper right on the window screen, silly~"

Amon adorably smiles into the camera, but his eyes didn’t face the camera, he must have thought the lens was in the middle of the phone. And he blinked at the wrong time—

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · last yr.

towards them in selfie mode. He grins happily with one arm over the other's shoulder to bring him closer before snapping a few pictures.

His blush slowly faded and went into thought. “ . . . I never taken one before with someone who is not family . . . “ . He muttered, softly. “ . . . Of course, we should . . . “ . Sweet and big smile.

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · last yr.

Okay maybe *this* is the cutest moment and reaction from his date so far. Thankfully, Aoba just finished his ice cream. He wipes his hands and/or fingers with the napkin he was given by the ice cream stand guy. "Now it's a good time to take a picture no?"

Amon didn’t expect to be kissed back, on the lips and slowly, his face was colored a bright red. And he felt like a blushing school girl and looked the other way, not able to say anything at the moment. Still processing the kiss to his lips.

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · last yr.

Confused at what this means. Is this what his father Nain told him about that when he meets someone special, he would have this kind of feeling? He is slowly beginning to understand and then admit.. "I think, I'm starting to feel that way too."

Amon pulls away and smiles warmly, and grabs Aoba’s hand. To head for another stroll again, soon he stopped at a good spot where it was just him and the other. And turned to kiss Aoba on the cheek, under the beautiful, evening sky. Then looked into the other’s eyes. “ . . . I am too . . . I real

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · last yr.

here with you. Honestly I'm also enjoying my time here."

The butler smiles brightly. And immediately brings Aoba into a sweet embrace with one hand, that wasn’t holding his ice cream cone. “ . . . Thank you for bringing me here . . . I am really enjoying myself. . . And enjoying on this date with you. . . “ . He whispered, happily.

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · last yr.

Aoba could have actually used his tongue to lick it off his nose, but that could possibly get some negative or unwanted attention. "It's alright. Everyone gets a little messy sometimes."

Amon was immediately embarrassed, all shy now. He wasn’t aware he had some of the dessert on his nose. He covered his face. “ . . . How, childish of me . . . Oh no . . . Did others see? . . . “ .

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · last yr.

Okay now he really wanted to take a picture. Aoba extends his hand to wipe off the ice cream from the other's nose. "You kinda missed a spot. Hahah~"

The lime-green eyed male looked at Aoba with some ice cream on his nose and brightly smiled at the sweet compliment. “ . . . Thank you! . . . You are cute too . . . “ .

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · last yr.

He wanted to take a picture of Amon to savor the moment, but he could not physically since one of his hands is equipped with his treat. "You know, you look so cute right now. Eheh~"

He nods, with a bright smile and takes the ice cream cone and brings it to his lips, and licks it. Slowly, face in delight, the favor tasted amazing on his tongue. Amon could not stop savoring it.

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · last yr.

As he pays, the ice cream stand employee puts away the money into the register, giving Aoba whatever change was owed. The ice cream cones being handed to him and Amon. "Oh yeah. Also, don't eat it too fast. You'll get brain freeze."

Quick nods of the head. Amon couldn’t wait to try the smooth, and colorful ice cream. He wondered how these chosen flavors would taste like on his tongue for the first time.

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · last yr.

price has been determined.

He watched the ice cream, stand worker scope the ice cream with an aluminum ice cream scooper, a tool he had never seen before in his life. He was in awe, it scooped so smoothly. ‘ Was this really ice cream ? ‘ Amon thought.

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · last yr.

"...." Scratched the back of his head while he laughed a little. "Riiiight sorry I forgot. Okay. There are more flavors, but we can get the same thing then." Aoba tells the server for two double scoops of strawberry shortcake and rainbow sherbet.

The sliver-haired butler sweatdropped and looked back at Aoba, whispering in his ear. “ . . . Remember? I cannot read Japanese . . . I will just get that ‘ strawberry shortcake ‘ and ‘ rainbow sherbet ‘ you mentioned. . . “ .

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · last yr.

go for strawberry shortcake and sometimes the rainbow sherbet along with it."

Amon listened on, eventually getting curious and excited, grabbing onto Aoba’s shoulders. And getting in his face, with a sweet smile. “ . . . Oh! Seems promising! Yes please, I would love some of this ‘ ice cream ‘ . . . “ .

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · last yr.

"Oh. Hm. Well usually when it gets hot, people like to get cold stuff, mostly frozen drinks and ice cream to cool down."

He shake of the head. And a soft smile. “ . . . No, the only sweet dessert my father ever bought for me was crepes, because they were my favorite, that I never asked for anything else . . . “ .

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · last yr.

He blinks. "Huh, really? You never had a frozen treat? Not even ice cream?"

[ It’s not a joke Amon never had ice cream before just crepes with his father when they were able to hang out 😅 ]

Amon nods with a bright smile. But then pauses in confusion. “ . . . What is ice cream? I never had it before . . . “ .

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · last yr.

"Can you eat ice cream by the way?"

In surprise from being lifted. But allows Aoba to do so, holding onto the blue-haired man, tightly.

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · last yr.

With that he lifts his date from the sandy ground. Heading to an ice cream stand so they can enjoy a frozen treat.

Amon nods, slowly Hugging onto Aoba, tightly, trembling in fright.

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · last yr.

Aoba watched the other which seems nervous and keeping his distance from the ocean water. He sees how afraid Amon looks just from the reaction to his words. He walks over and forms a little smile of comfort. "I guess that can wait for another time."

He shook his head immediately, stepping away from the water. Sitting down on the sand and hugging himself, trying to calm his nerves down.

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · last yr.

Well there goes that. Aoba could teach him though, but his partner won't learn in one day. It does take time to learn something new. "Damn.. I mean, I can show you how? It isn't too difficult."

Amon stops stepping on the wet and plush sand, and got all slient and serious all of a sudden. . . . . . . . “ . . . No I do not know how to swim . . . . “ . He spoke quietly, holding a terrified tone.

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · last yr.

The wind blows and his hair flows along with the breeze, his amber eyes shimmer as the sunlight reflects onto them. "Let's get in deeper. You know how to swim?"

Pick a number ✰

He was in awe, and kept stepping on the sand, repeatedly. Loving this physics, Aoba spoke of, he’s really enjoying himself at this beach with the other.

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · last yr.

Huh, that question got him thinking for a while. It seemed innocent. Surely he has an answer. "It's physics, or whatever they call it. The sand just sinks like that underwater when there's some pressure on it. It molds into the shape of your feet while you stand on it."

The wet sand under him would sink a little when he would step on it. So he stopped and looked back at Aoba, in confusion and curiosity. “ . . . Why does the sand sink like that? . . . Like it is attempting to shallow me up? . . . “ .

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · last yr.

He laughed at the statement, shaking his head a little. "However, 'm not in that mood at the moment. I guess, I just enjoy the breeze blowing here at the beach."

“ . . . I will be alright! I can handle anything! . . . “ . The long haired servant says with a beaming smile. Oh, no he doesn’t know what’s he’s getting himself into.

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · last yr.

So this guy really doesn't know what sex is. Usually guys would be aware at Amon's age, since it's normal. "Your innocence would no longer last the more you spend time with me. Unless we aren't compatible." He says with honesty. He's still trying his best to remain behaved.

Amon tilted his head. “ . . . Sex? . . . What is that? . . . “ . He must not have been thought about that subject like he should have, he did explain he trained as a butler and assassin at a young age. So, maybe “ the talk “ never really came up during the span of his trainings when he had

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · last yr.

This time he tried not to be so flustered, even though he has yet to get accustomed to the affection. "I don't think I had a genuine date like this where sex isn't involved."

He allows Aoba to take his hand, with a warm smile. “ . . . Please, thank you . . . “ . Leaning in to give the blue-haired another kiss on the cheek, appreciative of his sweet actions and understanding.

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · last yr.

"That is a good sign." He responds. "Unfortunately in other parts of the world.. I hear about in some areas the ocean water is warmer." Nods, he takes Amon's hand. "We could get in slowly then since it feels cold for you."

Was told by his master’s older brother and mother, that his master’s birthday is today. . . He is preparing to decor the entire manor realm and a grand cake, and successfully distracts him everytime. He asks Amon what he’s doing.

“ . . . It is very cold. . . Again, as it is my first time here . . . But with you here, Aoba. . . I am enjoying it a lot ! . . . “ . Oh, such sweet words from the butler. Wonder if Aoba’s heart is swelling in happiness.

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · 2y ago

Maybe it's best he doesn't worry about it so much. Plus, his date seems like a very innocent guy. Oh, how that will not last very long. He was used to the cold, so the ocean water didn't bother him very much. "Feels nice, huh?"

He was lost . . .

“ . . . Sorry, I do not know what you mean by that? . . . “ . Expression completely innocent and clueless. It changes after a moment, smiling ear to ear and stop walking to walk into the water, feeling the sand on his feet and immediately jolts from how cold the water is.

𝙎𝙇𝙔 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀 ̖́-‬@rhymaticdesires.bsky.social · 2y ago

Thank fucking god they were in a more private area.. otherwise he would have retaliate. He keeps on being on his best behavior, in exchange for a very much blushing Aoba. "A-ah.. eheh. Yeah. S-sorry I am still kinda not used to another guy kissing me like that."
