Description
After school had come to an end, Ezio found himself sitting in his car with his big goofy smile plastered on his face since their kiss in the hall.

Everyone had asked him what had him so happy, but he couldn't explain it, just saying that something 'good' had happened.

Though Altair had to deal with his friends asking what he was going to do on the day of the dance, seeing as the majority assumed he wasn't going, along with Shaun bothering him about this and that in the Math class' assignment.

Just another day, though with a kiss in the middle of the hall. He was still a bit shocked about that.

Once said Ibn La'Ahad got to the car though he slid inside, set his bag onto the floor and buckled himself up while looking at the string that somehow managed to stay on his sleeve the entire day. Reaching out to tug at it, he glanced over to the beaming Auditore with a shy smile, his hood down for once. "I take it you had a good day."

Ezio's grin could not be more apparent on his face at the comment. "You have no idea." He reached his arm out and put it over his boyfriend's shoulders. "First, my boyfriend liked my cooking...then he kissed me in the hallway."

Blinking at the arm around his shoulders, golden hues glanced down to it then back up to Ezio's face with a mock thoughtful look. "That is something that can make anyone's day." he offered though the joking look in his eyes gave away that he didn't think it was a bad thing.

At that, he reached out and cupped Altair's chin, pulling him into yet another kiss. This time it was more secluded and no one would see them (which took some of the excitement of being caught away, but...). He pulled away, staring into his boyfriend's eyes. "How was your day?"

Eyes falling halfway shut, Altair licked his lips before furrowing his brows slightly as he thought over his day. Though, honestly, he was thinking about how he might not ever tire of these kisses or the little sneaking around thing going on most of the time. "...besides my friends trying to play twenty-one questions with me, I'd say it was probably the best one I've had yet."

His boyfriend laughed playfully, "That sounds like fun. I guess that it shows they're interested in you, which is always a good thing."

After saying this, Altair then looked down and reached for his hood, tugging it out from under the weight of Ezio's arm and pulled it over his head as he retreated back into his 'shell' of sorts, chewing on his lower lip before mumbling something that was muffled by the hood being in the way.

The action had made Ezio realize that Altair was often doing that whenever a situation grew awkward or something was wrong, so he frowned and lifted his arm around Altair's shoulders to grab the top of the hood and pull it down behind the boy once more. "Don't do that...you're too beautiful for that. It's like you're trying to hide such a great thing from me." He kissed his cheek this time, keeping a tight grip on Altair's hood to prevent him from raising it over his head again.

Silently cursing the other in keeping his hood hostage, the brunet's cheeks were a dark red and averted his eyes with his hands tugging lightly to attempt to get his hood back. To no avail. "...I'm not 'beautiful'..." he muttered, shifting how he sat slightly.

"Well...I disagree...anyway, you said that you wanted to talk about something, right? What's the big secret?" It had been weighing on his mind all day, though only in between his ear to ear grin and realizing that he'd been getting away with more and more 'boyfriend' things lately.

Lowering his head, Altair let go of his hood to then fiddle with the damn string. Finally, after a moment or two, he took in a deep breath, released it, closed his eyes while bunching up his shoulders and saying it all in a rush. "Willyougotothedancewithme?"

This hadn't been what he'd expected. After all, with Altair hating dances and speaking so ill of them, he didn't see much hope that Altair would even ask him. Yet, it was a pleasant surprise that he welcomed and had Ezio blink for a moment to collect his thoughts. Obviously, he would say "yes" in a heartbeat, but with his boyfriend disliking them so, he had to be sure that it was something that he wanted. "You...want to go to the dance with me? Are you sure?"

Slowly opening his eyes, the outcast looked at the jock with a look that was just screaming how embarrassed he felt and how awkward this seemed to be now considering he'd just asked and got a question in response. "Well...yeah..." Looking down on his sleeve, he stopped messing with it. "...I wouldn't ask if I wasn't sure."

"Then..." Ezio smiled. "Of course, I'm going to say 'yes'." This thought was followed by another. "I'm going to the dance with my boyfriend." He stuck his tongue out and chuckled pulling him into a one-armed hug.

I can finally tell all the girls I'm going with someone. Can't say who, but at least word will get around that I'm "off the market" for this dance.

Raising his eyes to peer up at the other student, Altair nodded with a shy smile in place. "Today must have won your 'favorite day so far,' huh?" Closing his eyes, the brunet moved to lean his cheek against Ezio's shoulder. Somewhat hesitant in doing so, though did it away.

Ezio thought about it for a moment, thinking seriously, shaking his head after a minute. "The day that we started going out. That would be my 'favourite day so far'." He returned the shy smile. "This would definitely be my second though..."

A smile, not shy or nervous in the slightest, crossed the teen's lips with a hand moving to rest on the one on his shoulder. "You have a point there, that was the best day."

He leaned forward and rest his forehead against Altair's and closed his eyes, feeling the other's nose lightly touching his own. "Altair?"

"Hmm...?"

"I love you."

Opening his eyes, Altair lifted his head a bit while moving both his hands to place them on the back of Ezio's head, threading the fingers through the chocolate strands. He shifted his thumb to run over his boyfriend's lower lip then leaned in to kiss him softly. After a moment Altair pulled back, licking his lips nervously then smiled.

"I know," he whispered, planting another kiss to Ezio's lips. "I love you too."

Chuckling softly, Ezio put his hand on Altair's neck, moving in to kiss him again. "I love you most."
