Stone

Stone had just finished getting ready and was now on his way toward the garage to get his car. On his way down, he's stopped by his father.

"Stone? Where are you off too?"

"A date with Micah."

Stone didn't have a problem telling his father since he already knew they were a thing. At the mention of Micah, though, his father got an unreadable look on his face.

"How much do you know about Micah?"

"I know enough. Why do you ask?"

"No reason. Has he mentioned his mother to you?"

Stone was growing incredibly suspicious of his father.

"No. Is there a reason you're asking me these random questions, father?"

"No. Now, get going you don't want to be late and have Micah thinking you might have stood him up."

With that, Stone completely forgets all about his father and his weird interrogation as he rushes the rest of the way to the garage. He starts his car and begins his journey to go pick up his darling Micah.

*********

Stone pulled up and took in a deep breath before exhaling and getting out of the car. He was a bit nervous, but he felt he had every right to be. After all, he planned a more intimate date than their first one. He was going to take Micah on a more relaxed date and this was where he was going to ask Micah to be his boyfriend, but since that already happened, he decided they were just going to relax and enjoy each other's company. He made it to the door and rang it. He heard footsteps behind the door and soon it opens to reveal Manuel, Micah's dad. He remembers the last time they spoke which was, funny enough, their last date.

Flashback

(This will be in first person)

Rachel ran back upstairs leaving me alone with Micah's dad. At first, he remained quiet, but then he turned to me and stared straight into my eyes.

"Listen, my name is Manuel and if you hurt my son, well, let's just say that I'm not afraid to go back to prison and the authorities won't be able to find your body."

What he said combined with way he look and spoke nearly made me shit myself! Dear god, I've never been more scared in my life. But years of masking my emotions came in handy at times like these.

"I can't say I won't hurt him because I'm too stubborn for my own good sometimes, but I can say that I will do my best to try not to hurt. If I do ever hurt him then I'll come to you."

He looked at me and gave a respect filled nod.

"I only say this once and I won't go into detail about it because it isn't my story to tell. Micah might have some doubts about you and he might try to run away, but that's because he's been hurt by someone he considered really close. I'm only telling you because if you're as genuine as you sound then you needed to know."

I was just about to answer when we heard footsteps so I just stayed quiet. When I saw Micah I couldn't help but feel relieved because it seemed that the revelation his father told me caused me to worry, but seeing him smiling at me and seemingly healthy caused me to relax.

End Of Flashback

(Back to 3rd)

Stone was snapped back from his memories when Manuel asked if he was alright.

"I'm alright. How are you Manuel?"

"Please, call me Manny. I'm doing well. Micah should be down in a fe-"

"I heard my name!"

Stone smiles as Micah comes down the stairs. Micah opted for some jeans and a white v-neck with a pair of white vans on his feet. Stone was probably biased, but Micah looked so handsome in whatever he was wearing so Stone couldn't help but admire him for a few minutes. Micah began to blush when he noticed Stone blatantly checking him out in front of his dad. Stone grinned once he noticed Micah's blush.

"Ready to go?"

"Yeah, I'll see you in the morning papa."

Manuel chuckled before adding a comment about using protection and to stay hydrated causing Micah's face to turn a deep crimson red. Stone also blushed a bit before turning to look at Micah who covered his face with his hands.

"¡Papá, eso no va a suceder pronto! ¡Dejen de avergonzarme! (Papa, that won't happen anytime soon! Stop embarrassing me!)"

"Ah, ¿así que quieres que suceda? Sólo estoy cuidando de ti, hijo. Parece que tiene mucha resistencia con la forma en que te estaba mirando antes. Así que necesitarás la energía. (Ah, so you do want it to happen? I'm just looking out for you, son. He looks like he's got a lot of stamina with the way he was looking at you earlier. So you'll need the energy.)"

Micah groans and quickly pulls Stone out the door. Stone was highly amused because during that short conversation with Manuel, Micah's face was even more red, if that was possible. He led Micah to the car before opening the door and waiting for him to get in so he could close it. Then, he quickly walked over to his side and got in.

"So where are we headed?"

"Mmm, I was thinking of having some quiet time to ourselves. What do you think?"

"Sounds lovely."

Stone was glad when he heard Micah agree. He wanted to spend time with Micah without any interruptions. Stone was taking Micah to his family's vacation house in the woods that was an hour away. He went there every other month when his family became too much to handle and now he was going to take Micah there so they could spend the rest of the day there. It was going to be a night in and away from everyone. Micah tries to hide it, but Stone knows he's been freaking out about the notes they both got that one day. Stone wants to talk to him about it. He wants to know his feelings on the situation besides the obvious stress. The sender is obviously someone who knows Micah and Stone and they had to have access to both of their rooms to be able to place the notes. Stone is upset that this creep claims to love HIS Micah! The bastard doesn't love him because if they did then they wouldn't scare the person they love like this.

"-one? Stone?!"

Stone blinks out of his enraged daze and looks at Micah before turning back to the road.

"Sorry, what happen?"

"I asked how long it was going to take before we got there, but then I noticed that you were clenching the wheel and kind of breathing hard. Is everything alright?"

"Yeah, just getting myself worked up over things that aren't too important right now."

Micah eyes Stone suspiciously before looking away.

"If you say so. How much longer?"

"Not too much longer. Another fifteen minutes and we'll be there."

"Cool."

Stone goes back to driving. He realizes that the radio has been playing the entire time and he recognized the artist, but not the song. It was a Melanie Martinez song. He could hear Micah sing along softly to the song. He'll never get tired of listening to his boyfriend sing even if he's doing it for fun.

"You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone

Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong

Over the bend, entirely bonkers

You like me best when I'm off my rocker

Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed

So what if I'm crazy? The best people are

You think I'm crazy, you think I'm gone

So what if I'm crazy? All the best people are

And I think you're crazy too, I know you're gone

That's probably the reason that we get along"

"Do you like this song?"

Micah looked over and smiled.

"Hell yeah! Melanie is my love!"

Stone smirked.

"Oh yeah? That's upsetting to hear, I thought I was your love?"

Micah giggled.

"Nah, Melanie is my queen! So sorry to break it to you, but she's above you."

Stone sends Micah a playful pout before turning back to the road. Soon, Stone was driving up the road that lead to the house. He heard Micah gasp and smiled when he looked over at Micah, who had his face squashed up against the window. Micah was like a breath of fresh air in Stone's cold and jaded life. He's so use to the people around him being as rich or as spoiled as he was so things like this vacation house weren't anything to gawk at, but Micah was staring at it as if it was a fairy tale castle or something which makes Stone feel guilty once again because Micah has had to work hard all his life while Stone was handed almost everything he wanted. It makes Stone want to spoil the shit out of Micah which he will.

Once Stone parks the car, he quickly gets out before running over to Micah's side and opens his side door.

"After you, my good sir."

He says this after he bows causing Micah to giggle.

"Why thank you, my kind gentleman."

Stone smile while he grabs Micah's hand and guides him toward the house. He reluctantly lets his hand go so he can unlock the door. He quickly turns around and closes the door. Micah frowns at him in confusion.

"What's going on, Stone?"

"Nothing, I just want to give you this so you can wear it before we enter."

Stone takes out a blindfold he had in his pocket and hands it to Micah, who gave him an excited/ anxious look. Stone chuckled and just put it on him.

"I just want you to be in a certain spot so you can take in everything all at once."

Micah nods his head in acceptance and just allows Stone to guide him. Stone opens the door again and walks into the house behind Micah. He guides him down the short entry hallway and into the huge living room. He moves him to the center of the room and quickly lets him go.

"Not yet!"

He says as he notices Micah begin to remove the blindfold. Micah chuckles, but he stops what he's doing anyway. Stone grabs a remote from the coffee table and quickly presses the power button. The stereo turns on and a playlist full of slow love songs begin to play. Micah giggles when he realizes that music is playing.

"Okay now you can take it off."

Micah wastes no time in tearing off his blindfold. He blinks a couple times and gasps once his focus turns to the room.

"You did all this for me?"

"Not all by myself. I had Gabby and Rachel help.Plus, Rosie cooked because we all know I'm pretty shit at it. Plus, I want to woo you, not give you food poisoning."

Stone looks around the room and has to admit the pictures that Rachel sent him didn't do the room justice. There small scented candles in mason jars, along with fairy lights hanging on the walls, lighting up the room in a soft glow. The couches were pushed against the walls and the floor was covered in soft blankets and fluffy pillows. The coffee table was in the center and the food that Rosie prepared was sitting on top of it. Looks like Rosie went for practical since she made some homemade Chicken Alfredo pizza, buffalo chicken sliders and other finger foods. There's a bucket of ice full of soda and wine right next to the food. There's a small note on top of the TV control. Stone went over and picked it up.

There are chocolate strawberries in the freezer. Everything should still be warm by the time you guy get here because I waited till the last possible minute to make the food. I hope everything goes well. Don't hurt my baby boy, Stone! I'll poison your morning coffee if you do!

~Rosie

Stone chuckles and hands the note over to Micah when he gives him a confused look. Micah giggles once he's done.

"This is amazing!"

"Do you like it?"

"Of course I do! No one has ever done anything like this for me. This wonderful and I'm so happy! Thank you so much!"

Micah hugs Stone and kisses his cheek. Stone couldn't help but smile like an idiot when he felt Micah's lips on his face.

"I'm glad you like it! I want to spoil you because you deserve it and so much more. I just want to have a quiet intimate dinner with you. We can watch a movie when dinner is over or we can watch it while we eat, which do you prefer?"

"I don't mind. As long as we're doing it together."

Stone decides to leave the movie for a later time. He just leads Micah over to the coffee table before grabbing a plate and filling it up with all the food. Once he's done, he hands it to Micah, who smiles up at him in thanks. Then, he grabs a plate for himself and fills it up.

"Wine or soda, babe?"

Micah thinks about it before asking for wine. He thinks it suits the romantic dinner setting, even though they're technically eating with their hands and not elegant silver ware. Stone quickly grabs a wine glass and pours Micah some wine. With everything set, Stone finally sits down so he can chat comfortably with Micah.
