The same old lake felt so new that night to Zaide. With Thomas, everything was like a new experience for him.
As he shivered, Thomas wrapped his hand around him. "You okay?"
Zaide nodded. "Perfect." The smile that lit up his face made Thomas' heart fluttered.
What had it been? Like, ten-eleven years? Thomas had been waiting for Zaide to call 'his', only his.
"Do you remember the first time we have met?" Thomas asked looking at the lake and the frost on it.
"Yeah," Zaide whispered, "Absolutely."
"I had built up a little crush on you back then." Thomas confessed. "And since then, I like you, Zaide. There's no one else."
Zaide smiled and blushed. He felt giddy, mushy as he thought he would melt right then and there.
He could not reply anything but, "Me too."
