Makai

"Uhm, Makai, the school is that way." Ocean was pointing over his shoulder after I turned out of his driveway in the opposite direction from the school.
"I know, but the coach said we could have today off as well. So, we are going to skip school and spend the whole day together. We can do whatever we want." I was grinning as I turned onto the main road out of Ocean's neighborhood. I turned away from town and toward the freeway entrance instead. "Don't worry, I already texted the coach and told him that neither of us will be there today. I told him we must have caught a cold from the pool that day."
"You lied to him?" Ocean sounded so shocked and offended.
"Are you that upset about it? I can confess tomorrow when we go back to school. But if you tell him now, or then, you will most likely get in trouble as well."
"You're an asshole. You know that." The look on his face was not at all shocked or surprised, nor did he look angry with me. He was just joking so all I did was smile in return.
"Well, asshole or not, I am taking you out to breakfast. I have been here long enough to branch out and try quite a few places. I have found a really nice one to have breakfast at; their portions are big enough that we will only need one meal each."
"I find that hard to believe." He may have sounded skeptical, but he was looking excited.
About a half an hour later, we were just sitting down at a booth in the back of the diner. There weren't many people there since it was a weekday, and it was past the time for their rush. A waitress came right over and gave us menus and asked for our drink orders.
"Can I have an orange juice?" Ocean asked her.
"Sure thing, doll." She smiled at him.
"I'll have one as well, please."
"Sure thing." She winked at the two of us and walked away.
"Are you going to flirt with her too?" Ocean smirked at me.
"If I didn't already have someone that I liked and was currently on a date with them, maybe." I returned his smirk then looked at my menu.
"Th..th..th..this isn't.. W..w..w..w..we're not on a.. Wh..wh..what makes you th..th..think that this is a..a..a..a..-" He wasn't able to finish his sentences, any of them.
"Isn't it? I mean, I picked you up from your house, and I took you out to eat. And we're spending the whole day together. Why wouldn't it count as a date?" I asked him as I picked out what food I wanted.
"N..n..no." I saw that he was shaking his head. "No. It can't be. You didn't ask me out, and I didn't ask you out. So it can't be."
"Can't we just consider the times that we're alone with each other dates? You know, for me this is our fifth date." I grinned at him then had a thought. "Oh, no wait, our sixth. I count the night you kissed me on the beach as a date."
"How the hell is that a date?" He nearly laughed, but still looked shocked.
"Well, you kissed me for one, and I was there to watch the sunrise with you. You were just, you know, a little unresponsive the whole time."
"I was asleep. That's a lot more than just unresponsive." He shook his head while he laughed. "Wait a minute. You mean you stayed there the whole night?"
"I wanted to make sure nothing happened to you. So I stayed. When it was morning, I went and got you a few things before going home."
I saw the shock in his eyes. He really didn't know that it was me? Who did he think would leave him donuts, coffee, water, and aspirin on the beach? Hahh, this guy is so clueless sometimes, perhaps that's why he's so damned irresistible.
"Still, this isn't a date." His petulant voice came out right when the waitress set our drinks down.
"Are you ready to order?" She was grinning at Ocean because she had clearly heard what he said.
"Can we have another minute, please?" I asked her and she nodded at me, no wink this time. "Look at the menu and pick your food. We can talk more about what we consider a date once we're eating."
"Fine." He picked up the menu finally, huffing as if he was mad. "Shit, you were right. Look at the size of that omelet." I giggled at his excitement.
"See, I told you. Now, pick what you want so we can order."
"I am getting that monster platter." He sounded excited. I knew what he had chosen because it was what I had picked as well. It came with a four egg omelet, a plate of toast, a plate of bacon, a stack of hot cakes, and a whole plate of hash browns. It was huge, and the whole reason I came here.
"That's good, so am I." He looked at me like I did that on purpose, and I just shook my head. "Uh uh, I had that picked out before you did."
The waitress came back, and we placed our orders. Ocean actively avoided talking about anything aside from swimming until the food was delivered. He brought up the next away meet which was in a week and a half. It wasn't an overnight meet though so I had no hopes of sharing a room with him this time, that sucked.
He managed to talk about it though, non stop, until the waitress came back with a tray loaded with food. She set the almost identical plates in front of the two of us. The only difference was the omelets; I had ordered a western omelet and Ocean had ordered just ham and cheese.
The food was good, and we spent several minutes just eating and not talking at all. But, I did say that we were going to talk over the food.
"So, Ocean, this is a date, right?" I grinned at him as I chewed my food, I am sure it made me look a little insane.
"Why do you want this to be a date? What would it change?" There wasn't opposition this time, there was hope.
"What would it change for today? Not much, I guess, I am going to do what I'm going to do regardless. But since I have admitted that I like you and want you to be mine, and you have reciprocated those feelings for me, I thought it was best to do what we can to test the waters."
"Test the waters?" His eyebrow shot up at that. "What do you mean by that?"
"Well, we've got chemistry galore, that is for sure. And if our only goal was to make out or do something else for the entirety of our time together then we would be fine. Though, I for one, would like there to be more to our relationship. Not that I don't enjoy kissing you, because I really, really do. But, wouldn't you like to be able to hang out without that being an issue? We need to get used to each other without the sexual tension."
"Ha, and you think spending an entire day together is going to ease that tension?" He didn't look convinced at all.
"Well, it's worth a shot." I just shrugged and shoved a large bite of hot cakes into my mouth.
"It would only work if we kept our hands and mouths to ourselves. And I don't see that happening. You have a habit of attacking me." He glared at me as he, too, shoved a bite of hot cakes into his mouth.
Well, we've kissed seven times now, I think. And you've been the instigator in three of them. So, I really don't think it's always me, buddy. And you're the one who started it, you kissed me first."
"I thought I was dreaming."
"So, you dreamed of kissing me even back then?" I made my voice low and seductive.
"That's not what I meant." He was flustered now, and his face turned red.
"That's fine, Ocean. I don't care. What I care about is being with you now, and this is a date."
"Do you think I am your boyfriend or something?" He leaned back in his seat and gasped.
"I would like to."
"What would that make you?" I didn't understand his question.
"I would be your boyfriend. What else would I be?"
"But, I..I had a girlfriend. What would people say if I have a boyfriend next?" He looked down and blushed.
"Tell them to fuck off. It's your life Ocean, you get to live it, not them. And if you want to date me, then do it. I know that I would be more than fucking happy to date you. But I also understand if you want to wait to tell people. I don't like the idea of hiding what we have between us, but it's not easy on you yet. I understand that. We will move on when you're ready. Just give me a chance, please. Go out with me Ocean, please. Let me date you, even in secret. We don't need to tell people and we won't do anything where anyone could see us. But when we're alone let me be with you. Let me hold your hand while we watch a movie. Let's talk and hang out like a couple would. Let me be there for you if you need a pick me up or to vent your frustrations. Let me care for you, Ocean. That's all I'm asking for."
"That's a lot though." He was wide eyed and shocked after my little rant there. I can't believe I went and said all that. I meant, it was all true, but I still shouldn't have said it.
"W..well, I mean, I would like to hang out with you. And you are right, I don't want to tell anyone anything, I don't even know what to call what we have, it's so new and strange to me. B..but I do want to be with you. S..s..so we can try. Only for hanging out though. I don't want to do anything else yet. I..I..I'm not ready for that." With flaming cheeks, he buried his face and started eating more of his food.
"Don't worry, Ocean. I won't do anything today. I will keep to myself. No kisses, no touching. This will be a date to see if we get along without that chemistry. And I will never push you to do something that you aren't ready for. That's why I stopped myself yesterday. I knew it was way too soon, and I knew I shouldn't do that at the time no matter how much I might have wanted it."
"Yeah, I know you stopped yourself. We both came to our senses about the same time. I didn't even have to tell you to stop, but I did it anyway."
"We will only move on when you're ready, Ocean. I won't pressure you, ever. I want you to know that I truly care about you. I am not only after THAT."
"That's good to hear. But you know, you're making me sound like the girl here." He glared at me when he said that. I wonder if Ocean was a top or a bottom? That will be interesting to figure out. Not yet of course, but when it was time it would be interesting.
We finished up our breakfast, and when I went to pay, Ocean tried to give me some money for it. I refused to take it though.

"Nope, I didn't ask you on the date traditionally, but I did ask you to let me pick you up this morning, so I am paying." I winked at him. He blushed again, but just followed me. "Come on, let's go see what else we can get up to today." I laughed as I put my hand on his back and guided him out through the door, and I felt Ocean's back tense up in front of me.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

I knew it was way too soon, and I knew I shouldn't do that at the time no matter how much I might have wanted it.""Yeah, I know you stopped yourself. We both came to our senses about the same time. I didn't even have to tell you to stop, but I did it anyway.""We will only move on when you're ready, Ocean. I won't pressure you, ever. I want you to know that I truly care about you. I am not only after THAT.""That's good to hear. But you know, you're making me sound like the girl here." He glared at me when he said that. I wonder if Ocean was a top or a bottom? That will be interesting to figure out. Not yet of course, but when it was time it would be interesting.We finished up our breakfast, and when I went to pay, Ocean tried to give me some money for it. I refused to take it though.We finished up our breakfast, and when I went to pay, Ocean tried to give me some money for it. I refused to take it though."Nope, I didn't ask you on the date traditionally, but I did ask you to let me pick you up this morning, so I am paying." I winked at him. He blushed again, but just followed me. "Come on, let's go see what else we can get up to today." I laughed as I put my hand on his back and guided him out through the door, and I felt Ocean's back tense up in front of me.
