You're Not Alone

Austin wanted to run his fingers' through Alan hair. He was watching the young boy sit on his bed with damp hair, combing through it. It was such an amazing sight. Austin just wanted to feel the hair thread through his fingers. Oh, what he'd give.

Alan's ginger hair was the perfect shade.

It wasn't light ginger.

It wasn't frizzy ginger.

It wasn't curly ginger.

It was Alan ginger.

It was dark ginger.

It was smooth ginger.

It was straight ginger.

Of course Alan would be the most unique ginger.

Alan was perfectly unique.

~~~

"Do you like jumping?"

"J-jumping?"

"Yeah, like hopping, what bunnies do." Austin said, looking at Alan in the passenger seat of his car, thinking about how cute Alan would look with a set of bunny ears upon his head.

"I-I guess." Alan said so cutely.

Austin continued driving down the road, knowing of the perfect place to take Alan on their first date.

Once Austin found the place, he parked and looked over at Alan.

"Is this what I think this is?" Alan asked, looking at Austin with a little blush.

Austin smirked, then said, "Depends on what you think it is."

Austin jumped out of the car, and walked over to Alan's side, opening the door for the boy.

They started walking to the front door of the building and Austin put his hand gently on the small of Alan's back, making Alan blush.

They walked up to the child-like area's front desk, smiling at the woman sitting in the front.

"Hello, welcome to Bouncy Time, are you here to schedule a party?" The woman asked.

"No thank you, we would like a private bounce room please." Austin requested.

The woman told them about the teen room, and then the pricing for hours.

Austin decided that since Alan was so little, and not known for his athletic ability, that an hour would be enough for them, and proceeded to pay the woman kindly.

She guided the couple to the room, and opened the brightly lit room.

The walls to the room were covered with photos from the 20s, and sitting in the middle of the room was a huge bouncy castle, with a dome like shape. It was purple and red, while stars sprinkled on top of it. Then behind it was a huge obstacle course.

Austin gazed over to Alan, and saw how excited the boy was.

Alan's face was in awe, and his eyes were moving at the speed of light, unable to focus on just one thing.

Austin wanted that to be the only face Alan ever has.

The look of wonder,

the look of awe,

the look of excitement,

the look of love.

~~~

"Whoever loses has to pay the tip at dinner." Austin announced right before him and Alan sprinted through the obstacle course.

Of course Austin was going to lose.

He wasn't going to make Alan pay for anything on the date.

"That's fine." Alan said, sweetly, but his smile was the opposite.

Alan looked competitive. Like he would have a chance against Austin.

Of course it would look like it, but if Austin really tried, he'd beat the boy.

"Ready?" Austin announced.

Alan gave him a slight nod, getting ready to run through the course.

"Set." Austin got ready to run.

"Go!" And the boys were off.

First they went through the tree like obstacle and Austin got in front of Alan.

Then they dived in between the two horizon panels. It took Austin a while because it was built for kids, and Alan size.

Then they had to start climbing up to the final slide, and Austin decided to distract Alan a little bit.

Alan was half way up when Austin grabbed his foot.

"No!" Alan screamed as he feel down, taking Austin with him.

Austin grabbed him, while Alan was trying to get away to finish climbing.

"Let go of me big guy!" Alan giggle.

That giggle always made Austin weak.

Alan broke free and started climbing back up.

Finally when Austin realized Alan was getting away, Alan was on top, looking down at Austin.

Alan then jumped on his bottom, and bounced down to the other side.

~~~

When Austin finally joined him, Alan just laughed at him.

"Cheaters never win." Alan said jokingly.

Austin was just laughing, then wrapped his arm around Alan's shoulder.

"Want to go on the bouncy castle?" Austin asked.

"Sure." Alan accepted.

They walked together to the castle, and like the gentleman Austin was, he lifted the flap to the inside for Alan, causing poor Alan's cheeks to turn red.

Alan started bouncing before Austin got in. Once Austin was in, Alan was turned towards him, and Austin just smiled at how child like the boy looked.

And maybe also the boy's bottom.

"Are you going to join me?" Alan asked.

Austin smiled. "Yes kitten, just looking around."

They started jumping in circles around each other, and discussing childhood times in castles like these. The whole time Alan had a smile on his face, and Austin was a mirror image.

They were so happy together.

"I used to wrestle with my friends." Austin says.

"You did?" Alan asked.

Suddenly, Austin springs towards Alan pinning him to the push ground. There bodies bounce together leaving the boys laughing together.

The boys became stable again, and Austin looked at Alan.

Alan was a gift.

Austin didn't want to lose a gift.

And as he looked into Alan eyes, seeing the love and affection in them, he knew.

He knew he wouldn't lose this gift.

He wanted to kiss Alan.

But he wasn't the only one.

Austin felt small hands on his cheeks.

They were Alan's.

They were Alan's shaking little hands.

And he realized how nervous and brave of Alan to do such a bold thing.

So Austin thought the only logical way to make this perfect was being a gentleman.

"Can I kiss you?" Austin asked.

Alan was gazing at Austin with his lips slightly parted, hands on Austin.

It was so intimate.

Alan slowly nodded.

Austin slowly lowered himself to Alan.

But in Alan's nervousness, Alan brought Austin face to his in a rush.

And their lips were connected.
