I look around. It's not super busy.
If anyone from school saw us...
No. I'm just being paranoid.
I take his hand hesitantly and he smiles.
"Thanks, Damien. You don't realize how happy you make me."
"You're welcome. What ice cream do you want tonight?"
"Any ice cream. I haven't really had much ice cream in, like...ten years."
Jesus Christ.
"My favorite is cookies and cream, so I guess that."
I pull him inside the store. "Oh. We need dinner too. Any ideas?"
"Ice cream isn't dinner...?"
"No. Ice cream is a snack. Think of something else."
"Pizza...?!"
"Sure. That sounds fine to me." I smile down at our intertwined hands, remembering when we were last here, to get his glasses.
It seems like a lifetime ago...
"Awesome. Let's try a different kind." He says.
"Pineapple pizza."
"Okay."
We pick up the pizza and then go to the ice cream.
"Look. There's a whole bunch of choices..." I start reading them off, "Chocolate swirl, brownie, cookie dough, strawberry, cookies and cream..."
"Damien."
"Caramel...salted caramel...."
"Shut up and grab one or I will."
"Dude. They have Sour Patch Kids ICE CREAM?! What has the world come to?!"
"I'm going to get one," He opens the freezer and pulls out a random carton, "Here."
I take it. "Vanilla. Oh my God... That's so boring."
"No, it's not. You're boring."
"Can we get, like, strawberry banana, or something weird?"
"I picked one. Shush."
I groan. "But yours sucks."
"You suck. Let's check out." He starts pulling on my hand.
"Why are you in such a rush?" I laugh, not moving at all despite his pulling.
"Jeez, Josiah, why are you in such an rush to eat ice cream and pizza and have hugs?" He mocks in a deep voice.
I laugh, "Okay. Fine." I relent and we check out, stopping at the Redbox before we go.
"What kind of movie do you want?"
"Do you want me to pick out a random one again? Come on..." He whines.
"Let me PICK. You got the boring ice cream."
I look around a bit, and the longer I take, the more frustrated he gets, which makes me go slower...
Haha.
I finally settle on a Rom-Com that actually looked really cute. I'll admit I like the occasional Hallmark movie. What can I say? They're cute.
"Okay, we can go now." I tell him.
"You take too long to pick things. You're going to need to work on that."
