It was beautiful snowy day. Streets were full of Christmas decorations and excited people. In the air was detectable the atmosphere of expectation and happiness because of the upcoming, by few days, Christmas. Besides it was very special day for two boys: Aoba Watase and Dio Weinberg. It was day of their first date.
“You are late.”
“I’m sorry!’‘breathless Aoba screamed when he finally arrived to the centre of big square, where Dio was already waiting for him around Christmas tree. ’'I’m really sorry, Dio!. But luckily we have still quite many time until the movie will start.”
Aoba was angry for himself that he was late for their first date. He felt very embarrassed. Even more when he thought about the reason of his late arrival. The green-eyed boy left sooner than normally from his house but sadly he didn’t know too good this part of the town and additionally because of all this excitement connected with the date he got into the wrong train.Poor Aoba felt so uncool. But this feeling has soon disappeared and was replaced by huge curiosity.Because what was surprising: boy couldn’t see any sign of his boyfriend anger. Even a tiny trace! What Aoba found on his face it was more like… relief?Dio had to be worried if Aoba will appear. He was truly afraid if their first date which he was waiting so much will ever come true. And now with Aoba’s came all his worries went away. He was there with him.
Blonde smiled discreetly. He thought: “I’m happy that you are here,” but said: “It’s fine but if you will be late next time I will go without you.” Shorter male laughed earnestly “Yeah, yeah, sure,” and added with more serious tone and vibrant gaze’'I’m also happy to see you Dio.“ To hide his embarrassment and to change the topic Dio reminded his companion that it’s already a time to go to the cinema, so boys have left the square and started to walk to the cinema.Their way was leading by huge park full of beautiful snowy scenerie. When couple was walking Aoba noticed something.
’'Dio!” the brown-haired boy screamed. “Why-why you don’t have gloves?! Your hands must be frozen!”
It was true. Dio was so nervous because of the date that in rush he completely didn’t think how cold is outside and forgot the gloves. So in the result his hands were now as cold as ice.
Before Dio could reply in any way Aoba already took off one of his gloves and shyly gave this to blond boy. Dio obediently put the glove but he couldn’t not to comment this in his way: “Idiot, this way you will be cold, what a stupid idea it is Ao…?’'but he couldn’t finish his sentence because on the same time Aoba’s warm hand touched his impossibly cold hand,which immediately made Dio blush. It took a few seconds for shocked Dio to register what just happened: They were HOLDING HANDS for the first time!
’'See? This way your both hands will be warm,’'Aoba was grinning from ear to ear and Dio noticed that his boyfriend is blushing even more than him. Blond only smirked and murmured ’'O.k, maybe it’s not that bad,” he attempted to sound cool and nonchalantly but in reality, all this time he was trying to calm down his heart, which was crazily loud because of the closeness and warmth of his beloved one.
Aoba sighed with relief and smiled brightly. The truth was that he was afraid that Dio could push away his hand,which would be like a nightmare, but on the same time he couldn’t miss such great opportunity to hold his boyfriend’s hand for the first time.
“It could be nice to share one scarf too,” Aoba was thinking, “So next time maybe it will be me who will forget something? I could forget a scarf. Hmmmm,” he was blushing and smiling thanks to his future brilliant plan and vision of sharing a scarf with his boyfriend.
“What dumbass? You look quite creepy now.”
“Nothing. Completely nothing. Haha.”
On Dio’’s face appeared tiny smile and then he embraced even tighter Aoba’s hand. Shorter male in response started to swing with their hands.He stopped for a second when they were passing by skating rink and was looking at this with big, childlike eyes. Dio noticed this quickly and said: “Uhmmmm… Do you… like skating? If so… we … could… go…together…someday… maybe?'Dio stammered words very, very slowly that it was almost impossible to understand this. But Aoba obviously understood instantly and his eyes brighten up. ’'Of course I would love too… But the problem is that even if i dream about this, no matter how many I try I…” boy looked away and Dio felt in his voice embarrassment so he decided that better will be to finish instead of him: “You can’t skate?”
Here Aoba was expecting that Dio will start his cruel teasing but… he didn’t do this! Instead he proposed something quite unexpected with impossibly shy and soft whisper “You know… I’m quite good in this so if you would like to I could teach you how to skate”
“It’s great idea, Dio! Thank you! I’m sure that when we be together I will be able learn this finally”’ Aoba said with gentle blush and enormous smile. “And it would be fun!”
Dio smiled genuinely. “So we have deal,” taller boy said gently but then his tone has changed for more teasing one. “But remember I will be a harsh teacher so if you intend to fooling around, better forget this than wasting my precious time, Baka Aoba.”
Shorter boy wanted of course to reply to him with tease too but on the same time Dio decided to change the position of their fingers. Now their fingers were INTERTWINED! Dio could promise that he heard Aoba’s “Gulp!” and his hand was even warmer. It took few seconds to Aoba to recover and to be able to say anything.
“Ho, ho so you think you are such ice princess? Wait and see how soon I will kick your…”
“What did you say?! Princess?!” Dio tried to glare at him but he couldn’t stop laughing. They both couldn’t. So like that: holding hands and laughing they arrived to the cinema.

“Thank you! It was really great day, Dio! And movie was hilarious! It’s shame that it’s almost ending. But soon i will have the last train so….” Aoba sounded sad but then he he declaimed witch excitation: “But before we say goodbye I want to ask you about something important…that if you don’t mind,” boy took a deep breath “Would you like to spend Christmas with me and my family? Even for a moment…”
“Yes!” Dio responded spontaneously and with excitement. When he calmed down a little, his normal, cooler tone came back and boy mumbled “I mean I don’t mind.”
“It will be a great day, I promise!” relieved Aoba twittered. Dio nodded and purred “I know, because it will be a day with you,” but he specially said this so silently that Aoba couldn’t hear this. Or? Maybe he could? Dio wasn’t sure anymore because Aoba’s blissful look and his annoyingly happy face gave him doubts.
They talked a little more and when there was time to say “goodbye” Aoba felt unpleasant feel that something is missing but he couldn’t explain what. But even if he didn’t know what it is, he didn’t want to leave Dio yet. So automatically and without thinking he caught Dio’s coat in quite clumsy way. “But what now?! What now?!” Brown-haired boy was thinking frantically.
’'Aoba, something is wrong?” taller male looked at him closely. “Uhmmm it’s nothing…”’ The green-eyed boy answered with insecurity and looked away. Then Dio touched his shoulders and their faces got really close to each other. Dio looked directly into Aoba’s eyes. Blonde’s gaze was very affectionate, yet very intense, which made Aoba’s eyes shine. “Dio…”
But he couldn’t say anything more because in that moment Dio softly put on Aoba’s raspberry lips his own. It was their first kiss. Sweet, warm, tender and innocent.
Aoba’s face brightened up. It was this. The missing part. But how Dio could know this before Aoba could understand his needs by himself? But then Dio smirked and gave him a look ’'You can’t fool me. I know you, Baka.”
“I guess so,” Aoba blushed and added with teasing yet awkward voice. “So what I think now, Mister I-Read-in-Your-Mind?” Dio rolled his eyes and didn’t say anything but immediately reached for Aoba’s hands. And boys were holding hands, again, until the moment when Aoba’s train arrived.
