Together we walk

Simon's p.o.v

I played with the sleeves on my sweater as I waited for Steff so that we could walk to the school together. Rain poured heavily as I stood in the front yard as steff came running it covered in a huge raincoat and another one in hand.

"put this on si, we need to make it quick" she instructed in a hurry holding my hand as we ran to her mom's car getting in quickly.

"your mom let you borrow this?" I questioned her admiring the fancy interior of the black car we were currently seated in.

"yeah she warned me to be safe and not get wet in the rain." She replied starting the car and driving at a slow pace as the pouring rain made it difficult to find our way to school.

We reached within 20 minutes and ran out on the count of three to the university building entrance.

"jesus this place looks like shit!" steff said taking off her raincoat and placing it in her locker as I did the same.

"it always looks the same steff" I said grabbing my schedule as we walked to the warm cafeteria where all the students hung out before their classes started.

We found a table as I rubbed my hands to warm myself from the freezing weather.

"where's anime boy and Laro?"

"they're here already, I'll text eric" I said pulling out my phone to eric before two warm hands were pressed to my cheeks as I squeaked out.

"won't have to that. I'm here already" came eric's voice as he plopped down beside me followed by laro who took a seat beside steffy.

Steff had informed me about their little encounter and how they were trying to get to know each other. It made me very happy because I knew how well they deserved each other.

"missed me babe?" eric whispered snapping me out of my thoughts as I looked at our interwined hands under the table.

"d-did you miss me?" I asked as he smiled before nodding his head and smiling widely.

"yup. I missed you all day and night" he said cheekily as I pinched his cheeks leaving them red.

"y-you're cute"

Eric's P.O.V

"y-you're cute"

Strawberry looked like an actual strawberry from the cold and the slight warmth from the cafeteria as I held his hand under the table.

"what's your first class?"

"science" he replied as I grinned like a creep.

"you have science with me!" I almost yelled making strawberry flinch.

"sorry" I said sheepishly as he giggled.

"you guys are gonna give me diabetes by being that sweet" steffy spoke up as I raised my eyebrow.

"you should get used to it. also don't think I can't see your interwined hands under the table" I said as they both moved away from each other coughing awkwardly.

Their cheeks were red as they looked around before simon s-squealed?

*ohmybabyloveyouaresocutemylittlemunchkin*

"you guys are sooooo cute" he said holding his hands together in front of his chest as he admired the couple in front of us like a parent.

"may your love last forever" I said trying to join in and imitate strawberry which made them all chuckle.

"let's get coffee?" I asked them as they told me their orders before me and simon got up to get some breakfast.

"simon wait" I stopped strawberry who looked at me with his wide adorable chocolate baby cheeks good squishy-

Simon looked at me as I held his hand asking him for permission.

"do you want to hold hands as we walk?" I asked gently not to rush or pressure him as he smiled sweetly with his red cheeks.

"o-okay" he whispered as I held his hand tightly while walking to the coffee machine.

No one really cared except a few whispers from my classmates.

We got the warm coffee and simon got doughnuts as we walked back to the table.

I squeezed simon's hand in assurance everytime he looked a bit nervous from the whispers and indirect stares.

"I'm here, simon. Don't worry okay?" I whispered to him once we sat down as he kissed my cheek as if saying thank you.

We had our breakfast chatting, joking and arguing over random topics as the bell rang not even making us realize that we spent an hour.

I walked with simon to science class who took a seat at the back as I followed him to take a seat beside him.

The professor came in asking us about how we spent our mini break and other random questions tecahers ask to kids in schools.

I felt simon grabbing my hand as I shifted my attention to him. He grabbed my plam placing It on his desk as he rested his warm face on it.

The gesture melted my heart. Simon looked like a fairy as he smiled softly at me before closing his eyes.

"why are you being so cute strawberry? I feel like eating you up" I whispered to him as he smiled with close eyes before placing a kiss on my palm and resting it back on my plam again.

"I have dreamt of this every day, prince charming"

*heartattack*

My heart nearly stopped as simon dozed off resting his face peacefully on my palm as I felt fireworks burst through my body.

What is this feeling? and why is my stomach doing summersaults?

Simon slept like a baby for the rest of the class as the professor carried on with the "catching up" of the previous classes.

When the class ended simon woke up to the sound of bell before grabbing his books and walking to his next class with a teasing smile.

After 4 annoying classes college had ended at 1 in the afternoon. The rain had calmed down a bit but the thunder roared startling most of the students who plugged in their headphones out of annoyance.

Simon came running to as he jumped up give a high five before dragging me somewhere.

"strawberry you little guy.. just how long are you going to drag me ?"

"we're almost there" strawberry breathed out before leading me to the end of the university building.

He bought me to the auditotrium.

"w-we haven't practiced for so long" he huffed as he bent down breathing heavily.

"you shouldn't have run that fast babe" I said before patting his back as he blushed a little at the nickname.

"I was w-worried we wouldn't get the place"

"what do you mean?"

"the person who comes first can book the auditorium all for themselves" he said before signing in a book placed on the stage near a table.

"it's all ours nowwww" simon jumped around like a kid everywhere.

"let's practice okay?" he asked and who am I to deny him?

Simon's P. O. V

I was happy eric had remembered the steps because I would have to teach him the entire routine again.

I watched him practice thinking of what outfit would look good on him while he performed.

Eric is someone who would look great even in a plastic bag. Eric is built well with his tall height and his slightly stiff body. He looks like he plays sports. His muscles shift every time he raises his hands for a dance move. His shoulders are a bit broad and his stomach looks like this man has never once in his life eaten 5 chips of bags within one go like me.

"are you just gonna stare or are you gonna do something?" eric asked snapping me out of my thoughts.

"w-what?"

"I said….

Eric stopped rehearsing as he walked up to me before grabbing my face gently and placing a kiss on my lips.

"are you just gonna stare or are you gonna do something?"

"I would do something…. But this is a college" I whispered as eric chuckled loudly before letting me go and hugging me from behind.

I couldn't believe I was dating the boy I literally daydreamed about.

I hope it lasts long…..
