Aiden, sarcastically: In heaven

Lukas: Oh

Lukas:

Aiden: Aww, really?

Aiden plopped down on the couch, popcorn spilling out of his bowl and onto the floor. He stared at it for a second before picking up the few kernels and putting them in the trash. He stretched out along the couch and propped his feet up on the arm before grabbing the tv remote and switching the television on. He flipped through the channels until a sappy romcom came up, and with a smile, Aiden put the remote down.

Aiden adjusted the bowl of popcorn on his chest, and threw a few pieces in his mouth. He cringed slightly at the buttery taste, but put up with it as it was the only snack food he had in his house at the moment. Aiden was just getting sucked into the show, when a knock sounded at his door. He sighed and set the popcorn aside. Aiden swung his legs over the couch and stood up, wooden floorboards creaking from age, and walked to the door.

Another knock, Aiden looked out the keyhole and saw Lukas standing outside his house. Flowers in hand, and a pristine suit on.

Why was he wearing a suit, nothing important was going on today? Aiden tried to recall the days when another, louder and more panicked, knock sounded.

Aiden opened the door, face flushing from his own raggedy appearance, a sweater and jeans, and finally spoke to Lukas.

“Uhh...hey.” He greeted, rubbing his neck awkwardly.

“I’m guessing I forgot something?” Aiden asked, cringing at the thought of forgetting another date with Lukas.

“...yes, you did forget something.” Lukas sighed, a worm smile on his face.

“Did you stay up all night again? Let me guess, movies or hardcore studying?” Lukas teased.

Aiden stepped aside and let Lukas inside, the romcom still going in the background.

“I had classes all of yesterday and I studied all night and stuff...today was my day off, I totally forgot about our date.” Aiden groaned, smacking his head.

“It’s okay.” Lukas planted a kiss on Aiden’s cheek before looking around. He noticed the many books and papers on the table, a clear sign of study, and a bowl of popcorn with the romcom going.

“Really? Cheesy romance? You can do so much better.” Lukas rolled his eyes and set the flowers down on the table.

“Look, I’m sorry about forgetting again.” Aiden looked embarrassed, he shied away from Lukas’s understanding gaze, twiddling his thumbs behind his back.

“I understand. You’ve been forgetful ever since you’ve taken community college up again.” Lukas strolled up to Aiden and wrapped his arms around the brunette’s waist. The air around them became heavy, all sounds in the room going fuzzy and soft. The floor seemed to be nonexistent, it left a feeling of floating in the both of them.

Aiden rested his head on Lukas’s shoulder.

“You’re too good to me. I’ve been wondering why you haven’t just given up and moved on to someone better than I am. Like Jesse or Olivia. They both have much more redeeming qualities-“

A soft, warm feeling rushed over Aiden as Lukas planted his lips on his own, the simple gesture shutting him up effectively.

Lukas pulled away after a few seconds, he cupped Aiden’s face in his hands and pulled him closer to eye level.

“I haven’t left you because you’re the one I love. And don’t kid me with that crap, you have lots of redeeming qualities. You wouldn’t be in the top community college if you didn’t.”

Lukas chuckled softly and hugged his arms around Aiden’s neck.

“Now, I’m either going to force you into a suit, or I’m stealing some of your clothes so we can lounge. I take it you’re leaning towards option two?” Lukas quirked an eyebrow at Aiden and laughed.

“Yeah, option two sounds good,” Aiden placed another kiss on Lukas’s forehead, “I’ve got clothes upstairs, you know where.” Lukas nodded and stepped back, he walked upstairs, leaving Aiden alone again in the living room. Aiden laid back across the couch, waiting for Lukas to return before he heard the gentle thumping of socks against wood.

Lukas then proceeded to jump over the back of the couch and land directly on Aiden’s ribcage.

Lukas broke out into a fit of laughter as Aiden wheezed, only to be shoved off the couch with a careful jab to the stomach.

Aiden jumped on Lukas and started tickling him, the now large blue shirt riding up on the blond’s frame.

“N-no! StaaaaAHP-“ Lukas squealed, laughing and screaming at Aiden. He finally gave in partially, fighting back with as many tickles he could give to Aiden.

“Okay! Okay, I give!” Aiden laughed, scooting off of Lukas and sitting back on the couch. Lukas stood up and brushed his shirt and shorts off (Aiden’s shirt and shorts) and laid down in Aiden’s lap. Aiden grabbed the remote and turned the volume of the romcom up, ignoring Lukas’s teasing chuckles.

“I love you.” Lukas said, cuddling into Aiden’s stomach, his arms wrapped around him, head pressed onto the brunette’s side.

Aiden leaned down and kissed Lukas on the forehead, quickly focusing his attention back to the tv.

This was much better than sitting and watching tv while he ate popcorn.
