Authors Note: Hi everyone, I know I have a lot of making up to do so I hope this fluffy filled chapter can do that! I know its been a long time but unfortunately a lot has happened in my personal life that I've been distracted. I am going to finish this story for you guys! And i am so so thankful for all the support you have provided me for this being my first ever story!
Futo had decided that they would celebrate the start of their date having breakfast at an English styled café. It was beautiful with polished dark wooden furniture and vibrant coloured flowers on every table. The food smelled delightful and looked completely different from what Syo was used to seeing. English styled omelettes, bacon and sausages including a lot of cheese on the menu. The drinks section had an outstanding amount of herbal teas, their names sounded so amazing that Syo wanted to try them all.
The English must love their cheese and tea.
Syo was absorbed in the menu he didn't take notice to the idols eyes that watched him with admiration. The blond couldn't help but feel his boyfriends gaze, even through the sunglasses he wore as a disguise. He still wasn't used to this attention so subtly hid behind the menu.
I would have thought that by now I wouldn't be as nervous.. I thought I was improving but maybe Futo calling this a date is making me more nervous than I thought.
"It's cute that you're so nervous for our first date." Futo smiled cutely.
"I can't help it.. I've never been on a date before." The blond responded, feeling as though Futo just read his mind he remained hidden behind his menu.
"Fine by me, I enjoy taking all your firsts." The idol smirked, catching Syo go red before reading his own menu.
The café had a great atmosphere, just the perfect level for conversations to still be private as everyone is absorb in their own world. Futo summoned the waitress over as they were ready to order. He had so much planned for his Syo that he wanted to officially get started.
"Please can I have the Omelette with bacon and cheese." Syo asked politely.
"Of course, what would you like to drink?" She asked.
"Super berries tea please."
"Okay, anything else?" She asked, turning to Futo. She suddenly got rather shy from seeing an idol up close.
Futo put a finger up to his lips, symbolising her to not say anything about who he is. She nodded frantically, but her face was turning a shade of pink and her eyes were glistening. She started to move closer to him, hoping for an 'accidental touch'. Syo couldn't help but feel a twitch in his heart. He knew Futo was popular but seeing it happen right in front of him was not pleasant.
"I'll have the same to eat, but to drink i'll have camomile tea." he said, whilst reaching for Syo's hand and holding it tightly, "being around this cutie can be too much for me, it'll help me relax." He smirked. "Can we also have water, we have a busy day planned, don't we hunnie." he said winking at Syo, who was completely unprepared.
"Oh! Umm, yes of course." The waitress was startled and quickly moved away.
"Futo, what are you up to? That was so cheeky! What about your image?" The blond was so shy by what had just happened.
"Well, I wanted to show her that you're mine."
"But she was flirting with you." Syo couldn't help but start to giggle in disbelief.
"Maybe, but you didn't see the look she gave you. Her eyes were infatuated, I got jealous." He stated confidently and Syo couldn't help but smile even more.
Soon after everything arrived and it looked delicious. The tea's aroma was relaxing in it's adorable teapots. They made sure to share the tea with one another.
"What do you have planned today?" Syo couldn't help but want to know more about what his first date would entail.
"Well, seeing as you ask so cutely i'll tell you." He got out a small notebook. "First is the café breakfast, which I would say is successful. Then I'm thinking we could go to an aquarium, shopping and then a theme park. Doesn't need to be all of them, well, actually the theme park is a must. The final part of the date is a surprise though." He smiled, wanting to know his small boyfriends thoughts on his plan.
"You've planned so much! I'm not sure what to do, i'll be excited with anything." He smiled.
"How about I take you to an aquarium on another date of ours, seeing as we are going to the theme park this afternoon, it might be best to go shopping. Then we can spend more time in the aquarium next time?" He offered.
"Sounds great! I'm so excited. Thank you Futo, this means a lot." He smiled shyly whilst holding his boyfriends hand once again. His heart began to race.
"You have a LOT to look forward to today… and tonight my little Syo." Futo's eyes had a spark of cheekiness, leaving the blond a little worried for his safety.
Walking around with a handsome person is never easy. Being with an idol increases the difficulty by 100. When walking around with his friends he would get looks, Shin was a good-looking guy and Momo was beautiful like a model. Syo, though he wasn't confident, had a 'pretty boy' and sensitive cutesy vibe. However, it never compared to the level of stares he felt at this very moment. Something as simple as shopping with his boyfriend was intense. All the girls looked his way, and even more so when most of them had an inkling he was the idol they all wanted to be theirs. Though he didn't want it to affect his very first date, he couldn't help but feel a little bit disappointed by all the attention Futo got. The photos that were being taken made him feel even more self-conscious.
Futo was aware on what was happening. He was also disappointed and it was times like this he wished he wasn't an idol so that he could be with Syo in peace. He forgot how he needed to be careful of his actions in public, otherwise his agency would suffer from the crazed fans. Fans could become very scary people very quickly.
"Let's head to the theme park. With everything going on people are less likely to notice me and we can spend more time on rides." He suggested.
"Yeah, that sounds good to me, we can easily come shopping again." Syo smiled, but he was thankful that they were going elsewhere.
Whilst trying to swifty head out of the shopping centre, a fangirl 'accidently' fell into Futo, holding on to him and trying to wrap her arms around him as she squealed. Futo had to try and remain calm, his patience was declining rapidly. He was starting to care less about his idol appearance by the second. He questioned why he couldn't be his true self sometimes, why he had to uphold an image. For him, real fans would be happy that he is happy. But his agency thought otherwise.
Without noticing one of the other girls started to cling to Syo. This ikred the brunette massively, could they not get some peace.
"Weren't you on TV! With the Twin voice actors! Kyaa! You're even cuter in person. Let me come with you, we could go to a café." She tugged on the blonds arm who was in shock that out of the two of them he was getting hit on the strongest.
Worriedly, whilst attempting to break free, he looked towards his boyfriend. He gulped with concern. Futo was not impressed, his patience was already on thin ice, but the final crack was when she tried to pull Syo away. His Syo.
That's it, I don't care. He's mine. Fans can leave, I just need him. He thought rapidly.
Futo nicely dismissed the girl who was with him before grabbing Syo's arm and pulling him into his chest. He sharply made eye contact with the girl as a warning whilst he wrapped his arms around the little blond who was even more in shock. He placed his finger on his lips again, 'Shh'. They nodded obediently and watched as Futo took his boyfriends hand, leaving them and the shopping centre completely.
"Sorry about that." The brunette felt guilty that this date wasn't going to plan.
"Futo, are you sure holding my hand in public is a good idea? I mean. Your fans.." He tried to explain, moving his hand away before he was cut off.
"My job is important, but you are more important. My fans? If they truly support me they should support me in my public life, private life and love life." He said seriously. "Now come on, i'm going to make sure you enjoy today so that I can enjoy you tonight." He said cheekily, watching his cute boyfriend blush.
Theme parks are full of positive emotions. Happiness, excitement, laughter, friendship and love. It's a perfect place for a date. All the fun activities, arcades and rides, tasty food stalls and fun photo booths, it's impossible to be bored and a great place to create memories. That's specifically why Futo decided to go to the theme park, he wanted this date, Syo's very first, to be so overflowing with positive memories he would never forget it.
"So, what would you like to go-" The idol started to ask before being dragged by the hand so quickly he almost lost his balance.
"LOOK AT THAT!" Syo pointed to one of the biggest rollercoasters in the park. He'd never see the blond so excited before he became slightly giddy himself. Though he tried to keep his cool persona alive to impress his boyfriend. Syo had already pulled Futo into the queue with him, waiting eagerly to get on the ride.
"You're cute for queuing but" he flashed fast track passes and saw Syo's eyes light up "we can go straight on?" The brunette intertwined their fingers together as he watched the little blonds cheeks flush a rosy colour. Syo nodded shyly as his boyfriend guided him to the fast track queue. This date was easily the best day of his life.
Futo enjoyed having Syo pull him all over the park. Seeing his little one be so happy and excited was something he could enjoy all day. They were grateful that everyone was so busy enjoying the park themselves that they took no notice of the idol, truly allowing them to spend some together.
They carried on enjoying the theme park, riding all the rides, going into a haunted house (though Syo was a little too scared and sulked that Futo found it humorous) and eating cotton candy.
Finally, my plans didn't go to waste. Futo thought to himself with a soft smile as he watched Syo enjoy his blue cotton candy.
The loudness of the theme park started to settle as the sunset began. Families heading home, friends and couples going to get food together, all satisfied with the memories created. The parks lights provided a fairy-tale glow, everything became more peaceful. Only some rides remained open, exactly what the idol had planned for.
"So, most people have left and all the rides are closing, are we heading home?" Syo asked, still holding the idols hands who smirked in return.
"Not yet… now it's time for the surprise." he tugged Syo with him, his heart started to race slightly, this was a new feeling, he couldn't be nervous, could he?
The stood in awe. The lights perfectly enhanced the elegance of the surprise Futo had for his little blond. The sunset becoming more prominent, burning a brighter orange. It looked magnificent. It was perfect.
The ferris wheel surprise is actually going to happen. He smiled, nodding to himself with pride.
He looked over to Syo who seemed so in awe that he couldn't move his eyes from the beautiful sight.
"Come on, I think the view will be even better when we reach the top." He whispered gently.
"We get to go on it?!" He gasped.
"Yep! This is part of the surprise! Being an idol has its perks, you'll see what I mean soon." He pulled Syo with him as they got on board one of the pods.
Time seemed to stop for Syo, the pod ever so slowly moving closer to the top. He sat with his fingers intertwined with Futos. They stayed in a comfortable silence, watching the sunset together, feeling at peace. The higher they went, the more breathtaking the view became. All Syo could hear was his heart beat, pounding against his chest as he tried to not blush when Futo began to brush his thumb gently over his hand. He could feel the heat intensify beyond contact, only making his heart race even more. Finally, the reached the top and the pod stopped still.
"Wow!" the blond gasped, utterly immersed in the view. "I'm gonna take a photo to remember this day, this view…" he said quietly, quickly snapping a beautiful photo. Futo couldn't help but smile, this was the perfect moment to complete the surprise.
"There's still another part to this surprise…" he smiled, waiting for the blond to turn to him.
"Futo, you've already done so much what else do-" he started to say whilst turning around, only to cut himself off, bringing his hands to his face.
The idol sat there, smiling softly with a tint of rosy cheeks, presenting a ring.
"It's a promise ring. I know it seems soon, but I already know my heart wants you, I know I need you. For me, though this is a 'first date', we were meant to meet, to fall in love and to be with each other. I need you, I want you, all of you. I want us." he whispered, becoming shyer at the second as Syo looked stunned.
"Futo… I, I, I love you." Syo finally managed to say, accepting the ring as his boyfriend placed it on his right hand.
The ring itself was a beautiful silver with emerald stones along the centre, matching his eyes. Syo noticed the engravement inside, S.A (Syo Asahina). He looked at it in awe, he was so lucky to have Futo in his life. They had been tested along the way and he knew this was more than just a promise ring, it was a ring to symbolise that Syo was not alone, he was loved by many.
They sat in further silence, looking into each others eyes, the lights from the outside reflecting on them and making them glisten. Futos hand reached up to the blonds cheek and brushed his finger gently down, sending shivers down the blonds back. Sweetly, the idol pulled Syo's face towards his-own, their lips only inches a part, eyes still locked onto one another, hearts racing so fast that Syo couldn't tell whos he could hear. Without being able to wait any longer, Futo pressed his lips on top of his boyfriends, feeling the heat melt away at his patients.
To his surprise Syo was the first to deepen the kiss, gently pushing his tongue in hopes of it being accepted, which of course, it was. Feeling each other so closely together, kissing so deeply that the heat melted their entire body, time was a myth. Their kiss was quickly interrupted when they felt the pod jolt, when they broke away from one another, feeling slightly breathless they noticed that they were back on the ground.
"Can we continue this at home?" Futo looked heated into Syo's emerald orbs, he really wish they didn't have to stop. Syo shyly nodded, allowing himself to be lead by the idol, his heart rate increasing by the millisecond.
Continuing this when we get home… he blushed to himself hoping Futo didn't notice.
