Movie night
“Babe, for that, you need to come with me to the rooftop.”
The blonde raises an eyebrow and smiles, “what are we doing there?”
“You will know when we get there! But first, you must close your eyes before we open the door to the roof because I want to surprise you.”
Giorgio nods and they climb the staircase together side by side after exiting the apartment, and Martin is grinning ear to ear while pushing open the door while making sure Giorgio closes his eyes, “no peeking!”
“Yes Guido.”
Martin leads Giorgio to a distance before he whispers, “Gio, you can open your eyes now.”
And the sight in front of him feels like something coming right out from a romance movie. There’s decorative light bulbs hanging around to make it look like stars blinking. At the center of the space, there’s a huge white cloth hanging, and a projector and a love couch. Martin feels like he has fallen for the blonde again when he sees how awestruck he looks while taking in the sight, “this is beautiful.”
“Not as beautiful as you though.”
“So, we are watching movies then?”
“Yeah! Welcome to our very own home theater! What movie would you like to watch?”
“What do you have?”
“Erm, I have action, romance, and even animation if you want.”
“Surprise me then.”
“Sure!”
Martin chose The Bridges of Madison County, making Giorgio smiles at the choice and Martin exclaims, “it’s one of my top favorites, with my favorite actor in it,” and he plops down the couch right beside Giorgio, and he immediately wraps his hand around Giorgio’s waist, making him shivers from the touch, “another of my all time favorite is Pretty Woman, and I normally watch that during the holidays.”
“Why during the holidays though?”
“Hmmm? Don’t know, it feels so much special I guess. The movie’s starting!”
Giorgio likes this kind of romantic movies as well, but he can’t seem to focus when he can feel Martin’s warm hand right at his waist that his short top didn’t cover. He leans nearer to his boyfriend and soon they are cuddling, and Martin even prepares blankets beforehand, a kudos to his thoughtfulness. When the end credits start to roll, Giorgio’s legs are on top of Martin’s lap, and Martin turns to look at his boyfriend in the eyes and asks, “Gio, do you want to watch another movie?”
Giorgio shakes his head and they wordlessly stare at each other, with Martin drowning in his aquamarine eyes, while Giorgio feels like he is being sucked in by his black orbs. When Martin leans forward, Giorgio closes his eyes and they start kissing, and Martin brings up his hand to caress his boyfriend’s cheek, while Giorgio starts rubbing Martin’s abdomen. Their mouths open and Martin uses his tongue to enter Giorgio’s mouth, and the blonde in his arms moans from the gesture.
When Giorgio’s hand accidentally touches Martin’s groin, the brunet’s breath hikes and he breaks the kiss, making his boyfriend whines and pouts, and Martin shakes his head, “please don’t. I might not be able to resist and you won’t be going home tonight.”
“Why?”
“Gio! Please don’t make me say it out loud,” Giorgio chuckles from how embarrassed Martin looks right now, with his cheeks red and he hides his face in his hands, “I, I want to, I- I- well… I really want to make love to you, but- I don’t want to rush you or anything. And if we do, I won’t be able to- to hold back and I will not let you go before sunrise.”
Knowing that the consequences of not going home tonight is worse than not getting laid, Giorgio sighs and he hugs his boyfriend, “okay. I think I should go back home.”
“Yeah. I will walk you home.”
After getting their stuff from the apartment, they walk hand in hand on the streets in silence and a slower pace, obviously not wanting this to end too soon. Once they reach Giorgio’s apartment, they stop walking and they turn to look at each other, “do you enjoy our first date?”
“Yeah. Do you, Guido?”
“Of course babe. Spending time with you is always a treat.”
I almost forgot! Giorgio unzips his backpack and Martin asks, “what is it Gio?”
“Wait- okay here it is,” Giorgio takes out the wrapped gift and he passes it to the brunet, “a present for you.”
“Huh? Oh wow, thanks!”
“Open it.”
“Now?” Giorgio nods and Martin starts tearing the wrapping paper, “what is this- huh?” the box cover shows one of the latest phone models in the market, and Martin chuckles, “are you reusing this box to put the real gift inside?”
The blonde just smirks and puts a hand on his hip, “you will see,” and he takes out his own phone with a new cover that he bought to match the one in Martin’s hands, “open the box carefully.”
“Right!” and Martin almost shouts when he sees a legit phone inside, and he takes it out to inspect it, “wait wait, this is real? Not a prototype?” and the screen lights up when he presses the power button, showing a selfie of the both of them that they took a few days ago, “mamma mia! It’s a real phone! And the cover,” he turns to look at the back and grins when he sees it’s of a pistol, similar to his current phone cover, “this must have cost a fortune! Gio, I can’t just accept this.”
“But your phone screen had cracked. What if it finally broke down and I can’t reach you?”
“I was going to repair it though…”
“The cost to repair the screen is almost the same price as a new phone, so might as well just change it. Or does your old phone have a sentiment value to you?”
“Yeah!” Giorgio’s face expression falls and Martin quickly explains, “it’s the phone that made us meet in the first place, remember?”
“Then, keep it, but use this new phone from now on. Besides,” Giorgio waves his phone and grins, “it’s the same model as mine.”
“Really?!”
“And look, it has matching covers, yours is a pistol, and mine roses.”
Martin grins widely and he hugs his boyfriend tightly, making Giorgio almost choke from the sudden embrace and he shouts, “thanks Gio! You really thought of this thoroughly, huh?”
They hug for some time until they hear someone clears their throat, and Giorgio immediately releases Martin and his eyes widen when he sees it’s Murai looking at them with amusement in his eyes, “good evening. Who is this, Giorgio? I believe I haven’t been introduced.”
“Good evening Professor Seiji!” Martin immediately bows, “I’m Guido Martin, Giorgio’s boyfriend.”
“Yes, he is my boyfriend,” Giorgio quickly explains and he blushes a little, “we just started dating for a week.”
“Is that so? Nice to meet you Martin. Now Giorgio, let’s go back home now, shall we?”
Giorgio nods and he turns to look at Martin and pouts, “call me when you reach home.”
“Yeah,” then Martin’s voice lowers to a whisper, “I love you Gio.”
“I love you too.”
Martin waves while Giorgio starts following the redhead up to their apartment, and once Giorgio is out of sight, Martin starts his walk back home and he grins, thinking of what to do for their next date to repay Giorgio’s thoughtful present.
