Dallon looks at the most beautiful man he has ever seen, the man right in front of him; Brendon.

Brendon was just reading the menu, not paying attention to Dallon, but that was alright. He looked beautiful, even if he wasn't trying.

Dallon smiles and he starts blushing a little, as Brendon looks up and sees that Dallon is looking.

"You're staring, Dall." "I know. You're just really beautiful..."

Now Brendon starts blushing and he looks at the menu again, just so he can look away from Dallon.

"Do you know what you're gonna pick?" He asks and Dallon looks at the menu again.

"Probably those noodles with shrimp, that just sounds amazing." "Yeah, I think I'll pick that too." "I am so hungry, it's insane."

Brendon chuckles and smiles.

"I mean this in a nice way, but you sound so different, ever since we told each other that we're in love with one another," he says and Dallon shrugs.

"I suppose that I'm not as scared of weirding you out as I was before. Because you like me and that means that I can be myself more. I don't have to be as formal as before because this isn't an arrangement anymore."

Brendon's smile grows and he holds Dallon's hand, squeezing it softly.

"You mean a lot to me, Dallon." "You mean a lot to me too."

They just look at each other for a while, smiling, until a waiter comes to their table with their drinks and Dallon abruptly lets go of Brendon's hand.

Brendon just frowns a little, but he doesn't think too much of it.

When they both have their wine, they order their food and the waiter goes away.

"Hey, so I had this bet, with Sarah, at the beginning of our arrangement. I bet her a $1000 that I wouldn't fall in love with you, but now here we are." "A $1000?" "Yeah, but I honestly didn't think I'd fall in love with you, back then... And now I am madly in love with you."

Dallon blushes again and he looks at his wine before he takes a sip of it.

"Well, I'll obviously pay the $1000. That's nothing." "I still have a lot of money saved, though." "I want to pay it, though." "But I can pay, I promise!" "You don't have to, I really can pay." "Alright, thank you." "Of course."

Brendon takes a sip of his own wine and he smiles at Dallon.

After their date, Dallon and Brendon go back to Dallon's place.

Brendon sits down on the couch and watches as Dallon walks into the kitchen to get them a nice bottle of wine.

"There we go," Dallon says, as he sits down again and hands Brendon a glass of wine.

"Thank you, Dall." "You're welcome."

They just sit in comfortable silence for a while, drinking their wine, until Brendon leans closer to Dallon and puts his head on his shoulder.

"Wanna watch a movie?" Dallon asks and Brendon just nods.

"What movie do you wanna watch?" "I don't know... There's this really good horror movie, I heard Nicole about it, saying that it was a good movie." "Alright. What's it called?" "Before I wake, or something."

Dallon looks it up on his phone, before casting it to the tv. He doesn't start it yet but looks at Brendon to see if it's the right movie.

"Yeah, this is the one." "Alright."

Dallon starts the movie and puts his phone away, sitting closer to Brendon and wrapping his arms around the shorter man.

He smiles and rests his head on Brendon's as he looks at the tv screen.

After a while of watching the movie, Brendon looks at Dallon, who's just watching the movie and he smiles.

"Dally?" "Yeah?" "I really hate horror movies, but I wanted to watch one because that meant that you could hold me and protect me if I got scared."

Dallon looks away from the tv, but Brendon is already watching the movie again, pretending that he didn't say anything.

He smiles and looks at the screen again, holding Brendon just a little tighter than before.

There's a sudden jump scare and Brendon flinches, hiding his face in his hands and Dallon just kisses the top of his head softly.

"We can stop watching if you want to." "But I don't want to. I wanna watch the movie with you." "Alright then. Just tell me if you wanna stop, okay?" "Yeah, I will."

They continue watching the movie, but after a while, Brendon just hides his face in the crook of Dallon's neck, laying is legs across Dallon's and wrapping his arms around Dallon's neck.

"Just gonna sit like this..." He mumbles and Dallon smiles.

"We can still pause the movie." "No, you seem to be enjoying it." "Well, I was, but that's no excuse. I want you to be okay."

Brendon just shakes his head and kisses Dallon's neck softly..

"S'fine." "Alright, then."

After just 20 more minutes, the movie ends and Brendon finally sits up again.

He clears his throat and smiles at Dallon, as if nothing was wrong.

"That was a nice movie," he says and Dallon chuckles.

"Yeah, definitely. What was your favorite part?" "The ending. It was a nice ending, honestly." "Yeah, it was. Also, I now know that we shouldn't watch horror movies together because you can't even watch them." "It was just scarier than other movies I've watched."

Dallon just kisses Brendon softly, holding his chin up with two fingers.

"It was kinda cute, though. Especially when you said that you'd chosen the movie because I'd hold you and protect you. You know I'd just hold you if you asked me, right?" "Yeah, but it just felt nice... To have you hold me without me asking for it..."

Dallon just kisses Brendon again, a bit rougher this time and Brendon sits down in his lap, straddling his hips.

Brendon hums, as Dallon licks his bottom lip and he pulls away slightly, to catch his breath.

He looks Dallon in the eyes and sees how dark they've gotten.

"We should uhh... Maybe go to the bedroom," Dallon says and Brendon smiles.

"Maybe we should."

Do y'all want smut or not?
