“Which one do you want, Ai Tin?” Can asks, leaning over the ice cream chester freezer of the shop they are at the moment. Earlier, Can had invited Tin to get ice cream at Asiatique and spend the afternoon walking around the place. Things have been getting progressively better between them since the date in Tin’s home three weeks ago.

They’ve grown closer and now their time together is Can’s favorite moment of any day. If before Can would be torn between his friends and Tin, now he easily ditches them if it means an afternoon hanging out with Tin. And it’s not even about kissing, even if kissing is really good. He genuinely likes Tin and every weird thing he enjoys.  

Most of the music he enjoys are foreign, usually American and British. He loves political thrillers and satirical TV shows. Aside paperwork, he doesn’t read a lot in Thai. Most of the books he reads are in English and he prefers to have physical copies around than rely on e-readers. Although he owns a Xbox console and several cool games, he barely plays them. Also, he spends way too much time working on his family company, but this one Can is sure he doesn’t do because he likes it. Can doesn’t understand why invest already so much of his time in his family business when he could avoid it until he got his degree and had to actually work. Whatever, it’s not like Tin is your normal eighteen years old guy anyway.

“I want a scoop of chocolate and hazelnut in a cone,” Tin says, pressing his side to Can’s.

“Two cones, two scoops each,” Can requests, raising two fingers in a v while offering a smile for the clerk. “One cone is hazelnut and chocolate and the other strawberry and chocolate, please.”

Can turns to look at Tin and finds him already watching Can. He smiles, nudging Tin playfully before grinning at him. Tin grins back, smiling so hard his eyes seem to close. His heart flutters at the sight, just like every time he sees Tin happy and he’s the reason behind it.

“Here,” the clerk gives Can the cone and he passes it to Tin.

“Thanks,” Tin says, licking some of the ice cream hazelnut the second he holds it.

Can watches Tin eat the ice cream absentmindedly, feeling his cheeks become hot at the way Tin flicks his tongue around the ice cream.

“Here is the other,” the guy calls Can attention, handing him his ice cream cone. “Total is 60 baht.”

“No way,” Can says when he sees Tin reaching for his back pocket. “Not today.”

Tin opens his mouth to argue, but Can is quicker, taking the money from his pocket and thrusting into the clerk’s hand a few bills he had already sorted out at home. The guy gives him a tight-lipped smile before giving him the exchange.

“Have a nice day,” Can tells the guy before wrapping his hand around Tin’s wrist to hurry him out of the store.

“Why didn’t you let me pay for it?” Tin asks, pulling back his wrist to make Can stop. He turns to look at Tin and he seems a bit annoyed. Can rolls his eyes at Tin’s antics.

“Because,” he starts. “I asked you out on a date, I want to pay too.”

“Oh,” Tin looks surprise before a smile graces his lips. “A date, huh?”

Can grins and leans over to give Tin a peck on his cheek. His smile widens when he sees Tin looking at him with both eyebrows raised. Feeling satisfied, Can licks his ice cream and, because he wants to surprise Tin further, Can reaches down for his free hand and intertwines their fingers together.

Can watches Tin stare at their hands and then glances up, his eyes meeting Can’s. The look of adoration and happiness gracing Tin’s handsome face makes Can’s heart skip a beat. For a moment, Can wishes they were back at Tin’s home, where he could press Tin down his couch, straddle his hips and kiss him until their lips were too raw to keep going. However, they are not and Can knows that for the time being he has to satisfy himself with just holding Tin’s hand.

Weirdly, it’s enough for Can.
