If something could make Aesop happy, it was someone showing him they cared. With how badly the boy was bullied in school and with how much other students didn’t seem to like him for reasons he didn’t understand, he always had a hard time figuring out who did and didn’t like him.

His classmates didn’t. His mother did. Most of his teachers didn’t, at least with how annoyed they would look when they had to talk to him or when he came into the classroom.

But one of them did. Désire liked Aesop a lot, even the boy could now tell that. He made sure no one was mean in his class to the boy and he made sure he was able to learn everything he was supposed to. Other teachers would just brush him off and not even bother helping him out. Désire’s care for him ran deep.

It was enough for Aesop to think he might even like him. And somehow, he was right on that.

Désire didn’t seem repelled or surprised when the boy confessed to him the other day, he even appreciated it. It made Aesop quite happy to know he was wanted. He even said they could go on a date at his home! Aesop was over the moon, he never thought anyone would want to do something like that with him.

It did feel a little bit scary to come to his house, mainly because he’d never been there and was coming to a completely new place. Désire said it wouldn’t be good to go out for a first date now, so staying home was the better option. Aesop also didn’t mind this idea, mostly due to him not liking big and loud spaces, something restaurants mostly were.

The house was quiet, it was only the two of them. Désire made sure their food was already prepared, a set table waiting for them the moment Aesop arrived. No one before really made this much effort into him. It was a new experience.

Aesop wasn’t used to much food, most of what he ate with his mother was what she could get, which was never much. She always prioritised getting things for his schooling, knowing that he struggled more than other children, and that sometimes she just didn’t have much money for food. Even on a normal day, it was never much. Now, seeing food in such a quantity, probably something that wasn’t even odd for Désire or considered just a normal amount of food for most, just made the boy happy.

He was a little bit worried about what they would do or talk about, but that didn’t seem to be a problem in the end, as Désire was able to hold a conversation with him about whatever came to Aesop’s mind. Most of the things he knew were about school or maybe something he’d seen on the TV, and the other didn’t seem to have an issue with that. Désire was able to converse with him with no trouble.

Sometimes, Aesop would talk about the food too, because he’d never eaten something as nice as this. To that, Désire smiled and said he did his best, wanting their first date to be special. It warmed Aesop’s heart to know someone thought like that about him, wanting to make that first special.

Their date could last only so long, as at some point, they’ve eaten everything and there wasn’t much left to talk about. While he did want to stay there for longer, there wasn’t much they could do or talk about, so Aesop had to take his leave at some point.

He still wanted to ask one last thing though.

Before leaving, he gathered up the courage to ask Désire if they could kiss. He’d never asked someone something like this, so he was nervous. Maybe it was too early for it? His worry was too much though, as Désire had no problem doing this.

It felt nice feeling someone else's lips on his, holding him by his waist with both of his hands. It was all too sweet to the boy.

Once it was over, Aesop did have to leave. He’d still see Désire next week in school, they’d see each other even more now, the other said. Désire wanted to see him more than just in school, so they won’t be limited to just sometimes seeing each other here.

There was so much more to come and the boy was happy for that.
