The vibrations of guitar stings repeated faintly in B.B.’s head as he left the practice room alongside J.J. By the time they were done with practice, the pair both noticed that it was already dark out, however that doesn't really matter. Before them saying their usual goodbyes, J.J. parted his lips to say something else, “Hey, I know it's dark out but I'm gonna be walking in the park nearby. You're welcome to come.” He offered in a direct manner, the one B.B. always admired.
B.B. pretended to think about his answer, but ultimately he knew what he was going to pick. “Oh, of course Jay! Thanks for inviting me!” he warmly smiled at J.J. as he spoke, trying to cover how enthusiastic he felt about being able to spend more time with J.J.
J.J. was just as enthusiastic about his offer being taken up, but he hid it behind a small smile and answered back simply, “Sweet, come with me then.”
The brunette started to make his way to the park with B.B. not too far behind him. All in all, it was a short and quiet walk to the park, not that either of the boys minded though. They could always appreciate each other in silence.
The park was dimly lit by hovering street lights above it, with an orange hue covering the ground and trees like a thin blanket. There was a faint noise of the birds soulfully singing in the background and began to perk up when the pair went into the park.
The park provided the two of them with a split path, one to a child's play park, and the other which was a walking trail. It was obvious to B.B. which one they would logically be going to, but he still felt the need to ask nonetheless.
“So, which way are we going down?” He turned to J.J. as he twirled his hair near the nape of his neck, awaiting a response.
J.J. couldn't help but to feel slightly captivated by the way B.B. was twirling his hair, but he still tried to act as normal. “Do you want to go to the play park?”
B.B.’s face turned slightly pink as he pouted and turned his head away. “Well you don't know that…” he paused for a moment and spoke with a small huff, “let's just go to the trail…”
J.J. grinned at this, “Are you sure you don't wanna go to the park? Go for a play?” he teased.
“No! I just wanted to make sure!” the blonde huffed in a flustered mess as he began to make his way to the walking trail, refusing to look back at J.J.
J.J. followed closely behind B.B. with a sly grin, “Alright then, whatever you say” he sarcastically chuckled.
This was just met by a sigh from B.B. though, he couldn't deny that he didn't like the teasing. He found it endearing in a way. He slowed down slightly so that him and J.J. could be at a similar walking pace, with a comfortable silence taking over once more.
As they walked deeper into the trail, J.J. found himself admiring B.B, for his flowy hair, cute face, and pink dressing style. He always found that it made B.B. stand out in a crowd of people, like a star in a lone night sky. He felt very fortunate to be able to have such a cute guy as his partner, and that it gave him an excuse to take him out to places like this. Just him, B.B, and the calm night. What else could a man possibly need?
B.B. was doing the same, he observed J.J. and his cool demeanour, how he walked so casually and looked so cool. They were truly opposites, but B.B. found that it only made them more compatible, and not only with guitars.
Half way through the trail, they came across a beautiful fountain with seats surrounding the perimeters. “Wanna take a seat?” J.J. suggested, hoping for a yes.
This was met by a smile and enthusiastic nod. “It looks so beautiful, of course!”
They set their guitars down just by the fountain before sitting down around the fountain, with water calmly flowing nearby them. The calming ripple effect of the water took over as the pair simply sat next to each other. B.B. looks over to J.J, his face focused on the water rippling underneath them with his lips slightly parted while taking in the sight, and his hands resting next to him on the stone seat.
Upon seeing this, B.B. decided to slowly but surely, inch his hand towards J.J’s making sure that it wasn't obvious to the brunette beside him. The blonde begins to execute this plan by going for a ‘stretch’ to plant his hand closer to the other without looking suspicious. As he does this, J.J. observes him from the reflection in the water, but doesn't mention anything about it.
However, after this, B.B. didn't have much else planned on how to naturally get their hands to touch, so he decides that it'd be smart to slowly hover his hand near the brunette’s. J.J. noticed this once again and began to piece together what B.B. had planned. However, he didn't speak up about it, he just angled his hand to make it more accessible to the blonde, with no intention of speaking up about it.
The less observant of the pair still carried on with what he had planned until his hand was slightly hovering above J.J’s hand, unsure if he should take action or abort the mission completely. Before he could make up his mind though, J.J. turned to him and made a remark. “Yknow, you'll have to try harder to secretly hold my hand.” he snickered endearingly as he inched his hand closer to B.B’s.
In response, B.B. gently engulfs J.J’s hand with his own and laughs nervously, “well I just wanted to make sure you were cool with it.” he turns his head away shyly as his cheeks turn a pink hue, “Are you cool with it?”
“I'm cool with it Bee.”
