Adam paces his bedroom, nervous. He groans in displeasure. The room is messy, clothes are scattered everywhere on the floor. He sits down on the bed, fiddling with the string of his bathrobe.
For the first time in his life, he can't find anything good to wear.
Noah had asked him out on a date and he wants to look his best. He looks around his bedroom and sighs at the mess, he reluctantly gets up and starts picking up the scattered clothes. After cleaning up the mess me made, he picks out a simple outfit, then heads out he door.
•~•~•~•
Adam starts wandering around the park, trying to spot Noah in the somewhat large crowd. His eyes finally land on Noah, sitting on a picnic blanket and going through what seems to be a picnic basket. Adam nervously approaches, Noah, being surrounded by Adam's shadow, looks up.
He smiles as soon as he sees Noah, he pats to his side, offering him to sit down. Adam sits down, fiddling with his fingers shyly.
"I'm glad you came."
"Why wouldn't I?"
Noah pauses, a somewhat hesitant smile displayed on his face. He shakes his head and strokes Adam's cheek.
"I thought I made you uncomfortable, it was so out of the blue."
Noah voices his concerns, his hand moving to Adam's ear.
To be honest, he did think it was strange how fast Noah was taking things. They were barely acquaintance but he had asked Adam on a date. But if he was being honest, he didn't hate it, infact, he loved that Noah asked him out.
"I was just surprised."
Noah exhales in relief. He returns to what he was previously doing, he starts taking out all kinds of food. Sodas, fruits, sandwiches, bottled water.
"Here."
Noah hands him a triangle shaped sandwich wrapped in plastic, Adam unwraps the sandwich and takes a small sniff. Yeah, No.
He puts the sandwich down, noticing it, Noah looks at the sandwich, confused.
"Do you not want it?"
"I don't eat tuna."
He exclaims, Noah chuckles and hands him another sandwich.
"How about a beef sandwich?"
Noah offers him the nicely wrapped sandwich, Adam stares at it for a few minutes before shaking his head.
"I don't eat beef."
He says again, opening one of the soda cans.
"I didn't know the first man was picky."
Noah jokes, he searches the picnic basket for something that would actually suit Adam's taste. A little embarrassed, Adam takes a sip of the soda. Is he being too much?
"Here, a chicken sandwich."
Noah tries again, his face looks excited, though Adam doesn't know why. Adam stares at the sandwich, and gladly reaches for it.
"Thank you."
He says while unwrapping the plastic.
"I'm glad I found something you like."
Noah says, a proud smile displayed on his face. Adam blushes a bit before taking a bite of the sandwich, it tastes really good. Maybe he's biased, but this is the best sandwich he's ever eaten.
Adam quietly eats while Noah looks for something to eat himself. He ends up choosing a bad of grapes. He offers some to Adam, but he refuses, making Noah chuckle in a teasing manner.
"I wanted to ask, why did you suddenly want to go on a date with me?"
Adam manages to ask. To be honest, he doesn't really want to know, but it just comes out.
"I thought you were interesting."
"Interesting?"
Adam is confused, he tilts his head slightly. Noah smiles fondly and strokes his cheek.
"You kept staring at me at the cafe, wide eyed."
Oh, God. Adam blushes a shade of red so bright it would blind the eyes. Embarrassed, he covers his face in shame. So Noah did notice him staring. How much of a creep does Noah think he is?
"I think it was cute, don't be embarrassed."
Noah reassures him, letting out a playful laugh.
"I thought you were really handsome."
Noah says, patting his head gently. Still embarrassed, Adam just nods.
"Can I see your face?"
Noah asks, Adam hesitates, but he reluctantly lowers his hands.
"Cute."
•~•~•~•
Their date continues, they talk with each other while eating fruits. Ever since he got here, his heart had been a mess. He's too excited, Noah is so sweet, and funny and absolutely charming.
He's even better than he had expected.
"Should we get some ice cream?"
Noah suggests, pointing to an ice cream truck that was parked nearby. Adam turns towards the direction of the truck, perhaps why not.
"I suppose."
Noah excitedly grabs Adam's arm and starts dragging him towards the truck. While they wait in line, Adam decides to ask something.
"Do you like ice cream?"
He asks, wanting to know more about him.
"I mostly like spicy or savory foods, but I also really like ice cream. How about the first man?"
"It's not bad."
Noah smiles and starts browsing the displayed menu, Adam also starts deciding. Honestly, ice cream is one of the many foods he likes, especially if he gets to choose what goes in it.
Adam blushes remembering Noah teasing him about his picky habits. He can't help it, some foods just taste either tolerable or down right horrible.
While he's deep in thought, someone pulls him by the arm.
"It's our turn."
He must have zoned out.
They approach the truck, the ice cream man greets him and asks their order.
"I'll have a strawberry cone, and Adam?"
Noah turns to him, smiling patiently for his order.
"I'll just have a vanilla ice cream."
Noah takes out his wallet to pay, realizing what he's doing, Adam stops him.
"Let me pay."
Noah looks surprised, but let Adam pay the bill. After they get their ice cream, they return to their spot. The two of them spend the rest of their time getting to know each other. When Adam realizes that the sun is setting, he decides it's time to leave.
While Noah is packing up the picnic blanket, Adam straightens his clothes is prepared to leave. Suddenly, a hand grabs him by the arm.
"Let me walk you home."
Noah suggests, Adam feels a little shy at first, but ends up agreeing. As they start walking, Noah reaches to his side and catches Adam's hand, his entwines their fingers.
Adam blushes as Noah holds his hand, leading with a radiant smile. When they arrive in front of Adam's apartment, he says goodbye to Noah.
"Get home safe."
"I will, good bye."
Noah is about to leave, but before he does. He turns towards Adam, leans forward, and places a gentle kiss on Adam's forehead.
"Good Night, first man."
