"It's hot, don't you think?"
Alexis held up his hand to cover himself from the sun but Charles held down his hand.
"Focus on holding my hand." He patted on the brunette's hand as the sun rays shone down on them. Alexis felt his cheeks warm up.
The warmth of their hands holding was rather comforting, their fingers laced together. Although Alexis really enjoyed the touch, he was always too shy to make the first move-Charles knew this little quirk and would do it for him. It has never failed to take Alexis by surprise.
Kids screaming and giggling around the playground, the wind blowing in their faces. The smell of fresh plants surrounded the atmosphere, finally they were in a place of peace after the chaotic week.
How the week has treated them:
"Remember when you hated Gina?" "Albert snorted but Ciel immediately cocked his head towards him.
"How dare you insult Gina?!" Ciel exclaimed.
"I wasn't insulting her-! I was just-" Ciel shoved him before he could finish his sentence. Alexis rushed into the living room.
"What is it about this time?"
"He has the audacity- to insult my dear Gina!"
"I wasn't!"
Alexis looked at both of them. Now he has to deal with this?!
"Well.. let's calm down and think-"
Ciel immediately shoved him to the couch. Alexis's shoulders jumped when he heard the crash, he rushed to
~
That's not all the week gave!
"Have you done with the reports yet?" Gion asked.
"Of course!" But Charles a whole new stack of reports on Alexis' table right after saying that.
"Many students aren't satisfied with this week's activities so..." Alexis gripped the edge of the table.
"S...sure.. let's do it.." His voice strained. How is he going to catch a break this time?
~
Alexis was snapped out of his thinking when Charles ruffled his hair.
"Hey... Let's not dwell on the past, ok?" Alexis gave out a sigh, he didn't know he was holding. He nodded and kept focusing on the warmth of their hands. He reached out to Charles' blond hair and twirled it, the feeling was soft and silky. Charles turned to look at him and gave a toothy grin. This rare side of Charles was only seen by a few people, but always there was a smile just reserved for his beloved Alexis.
Charles would always sneak kisses, well luckily for him, Alexis had a slow reaction time. He placed a kiss on Alexis' cheek, Alexis gasped softly. He turned to the blond, but then spotted a playground nearby. There were children, playing tag or hide and seek. Usually Livio was there to entertain the children but he wasn't there on that day. Probably on a date with Gion. Who knows? At least nobody is going to catch them this time. Alexis smiled up at Charles.
"I really want to play with the swings there." He pointed. He really sounded like a kid despite being a 15 year old teen. With those blue and wide eyes, Charles' knew he couldn't say no. Alexis took him by the wrist and dashed to the swings. As Alexis sat on the swing, he turned to Charles and pouted.
"Push me please?" He said with a pleading tone. Charles smiled softly again, he went behind Alexis. Alexis held onto the chains tightly while Charles gave a push. Alexis gave out a very cute giggle that made Charles' heart flutter. He pushed him again, earning another giggle. Alexis swore he could see the sky clearly. Charles held onto the chain, stopping the swing, while he looked down at Alexis, smirking. Alexis cocked his eyebrow when he looked up at him.
"Hey, I was swinging!" he whined, almost child-like. That damn blond kept smirking, and looking down. Alexis rolled his eyes and got off the swing.
"Happy now?" Alexis punched Charles' chest lightly. Charles let out a hearty chuckle.
They continued to walk around the park. The weather has been inconsistent- therefore the puddles on the paths. Charles' sharp eyes focused on the HUGE puddle, without any warning. Alexis felt arms surround his waist, and was immediately carried like a sack of potatoes.
"W-what?! Hey! I have legs!" Alexis stammered out.
"But I don't you to get wet.." Charles quickly answered.
Alexis felt eyes staring at him. A wave of embarrassment washed over him, he buried his face into his hands. "You're embarrassing..." He muttered under his breath- Charles still heard it roughly.
~
After that embarrassing moment Alexis claims, Charles knows that he enjoys the touch. They sat at a wooden bench, near the lake. Charles felt the warmth of his beloved's head, leaning against his shoulder, suddenly Alexis tapped on his shoulder.
"Hey, watch this." He grabbed a nearby stone and approached the lake while Charles watched.
Alexis threw it with enough force that it skipped off the water, he held another stone and offered it to Charles who was still surprised by the stone skipping.
"Want to try, blond boy?"
Charles stood up and took the stone, Alexis explained to him that he needs to throw it at the shallow part of the water. Charles threw it but it just sank down immediately.
"Wait, how do you do it?"
"You have to use the underhand throw, so you can skip it off the water."
Charles threw it again but it was the same result. The brunette had to guide him many times, Charles was very confident person. Seeing his confused face was a really rare sight, it always made Alexis smile softly. It always reminded him that everyone has a weak spot in them. Charles with much practice and failures, he tried again. Finally it skipped off the water, making a little 'Ploop!' when sinking into the water. Alexis clapped his hands together.
"Finally, you did it!"
The blond tried to hide a smile, because of Alexis' cute encouragement. Alexis hopped on his back, surprised by the sudden weight. Charles yelped before realizing it was just Alexis. Charles gripped on his thighs while Alexis wrapped his arms around Charles' shoulders.
They were really childish, weren't they?
"Has anyone told you that you have soft thighs?"
"I'm wearing pants, how would you know?"

Charles spotted a little ice cream shop near the park, he put down Alexis.
"Hey, what-"
"There's ice cream over there if you want,"
"Really?"
Charles took his hand and walked the brunette over there. Behind the counter was an old man, probably over 50 years old but he still looked cheerful when he saw the two boys. He leaned against the counter.
"Selemat petang budak-budak, apa yang awak nak?"(Good evening kids, what would you want?)
"Selemat petang cik, kami mahu dua-" Alexis held up two fingers. "Ais cream, satu coklat dan satu strawberi. Termia kasih," (Good evening uncle, we want two ice creams, one chocolate and one strawberry. Thank you,)
~
After getting their ice creams, they sat down at the bench. Alexis licked his strawberry ice cream.
"Why do you always pick chocolate?"
"It's a normal flavour, unlike strawberry."
"Hey, it's a normal flavour too!"
Alexis ate his ice cream too fast and suddenly got a *brain freeze*.
"Ah! Brain freeze."
Charles laughed loudly. Silly boy, he thought.
"I know what will help you,"
"What?"
Charles immediately captured Alexis' lips, and pressed his own tongue on top of Alexis' mouth. Alexis pulled away and whispered.
"We're in public.."
"Right.." as Charles looked at the chocolate smudge on Alexis' chubby cheek. He brushed his tongue on his cheek, Alexis turned away quickly and turned bright red, he shoved him lightly as he munches on his ice cream cone.

Alexis and Charles walked back to their dorm, the brunette took out his keys and unlocked the door. When he pushed the door, Charles cupped the brunette's cheeks and placed a kiss on his lips. Alexis leaned into the kiss, he wrapped his arms around the blond's neck. Charles gripped Alexis' hair.
While in that moment, a certain red head and another blond were in that same room, they were staring at him when Felix interrupted.
"Dude, get a room."
"You're are not the only ones who lives here." Leon joined in the conversation.
The both of them stopped the kiss with a gasp, Alexis laughed awkwardly.
"Haha, sorry.."
Alexis grabbed Charles' wrist and entered a room. The date was definitely memorable, this was a moment that they could definitely cherish after the stressful week.
