I was pacing around my room. Theo shouldn't be here for 15 more minutes, but I'm already prepared. Or not. I've been trying to prepare for our official first date for an hour now. I showered...three times. I sprayed deodorant countless times cause I kept sweating. God, why am I so damn nervous. I knew Theo since forever.

„What's wrong little brother?", I hear Scott say. I turn around to see him leaned on the door frame and Stiles standing behind him. How did I not notice them earlier? „It's nothing", I say sighing. „Well it doesn't seem like nothing Liam", Stiles says pointing at my bed. There lays every shirt I have ever owned, ones that are not on the bed are on the floor.

Scott and Stiles enter my room, make some space on the bed (by throwing more shirts on the floor), and sit down. Scott looks at me and nods his head for me to sit between them. „Liam, everything will be fine", Scott says calmly as he puts his hand on my shoulder. „Yeah, just remember, always use protection", Stiles says. Scott shoots him disapproving look. „What", Stiles says throwing his hands in the air, „we don't need them both pregnant". I have to laugh at that. Scott smiles and looks down. „Just relax baby brother", he says, „it will be a great date". „Yeah, it will", I say smiling, „one question though". „What now?", Stiles asks acting bored. „Do I look good", I say standing up. I look down on my outfit, jeans, plain white shirt and blue button-up. „You look awesome", Scott says. „Does it matter?", Stiles interrupts, „Theo would prefer you pant-less anyway". I ignore him. „How's my hair", I ask Scott. „Looks good", he says. It's good that it looks good, I've spent 30 minutes on it. „Just sit and calm down until Theo comes", Scott says.

************************************
Through the window, I see Theo coming. I run downstairs and open the door before he even rings. Theo's hand is hanging in the air, ready to ring the bell. He's looking at me, confused at first, but then his lips form a smile. I smile back. „Well, hello there my little gay sunshine", he says winking. He actually winked at me...What. The. Freaking. Fuck. I feel my cheeks turning red: „You're as gay as I am". „True", he says shrugging.

Suddenly I feel a hand across my chest, pushing me backward. Stiles is in front of me. „Now, listen here Theo", he says trying to sound strict, „you have our trust, but don't do anything stupid...". Stiles doesn't get to finish cause Scott grabs him by the shoulders and tries to pull him away. „You two just go", Scott says panting, „have a good time". I come outside and close the door. We can hear Scott yelling at Stiles to stop biting him. Theo and I exchange looks. „Sorry", I say, „they are crazy". „You're lucky to have them", he smiles. „Yes, I am", I smile back.

„We've been driving for 15 minutes already", I say to Theo, „where are we even going?". „You'll see soon", he says not taking his eyes off of the road. I take a moment to look at him. He is wearing skinny jeans (which is so hot by the way) and tight white shirt with V-cut. He looks casual and so confident, unlike me. It almost feels like we are not in the same situation here, although we are. This is my first date with a guy, ever.

I went out on a date with a girl once...we kissed...that's how I figured I was gay.

I know that this is Theo's first date with a guy too, but he seems so unbothered and relaxed.

When Theo finally pulls off the road it's already 19:30. I walk out of the car to have my mind blew by the view. Theo leans on the car and looks at me. „It's unreal", I say. Down in the valley, you can see Beacon Hills, all the buildings, and streets. Next to it is a forest. Far away, where the ground and sky meet are the mountains. Add some sunset to all of it and it becomes too magical for words to describe it. We can hear cars pass by behind us, but our eyes focus on the horizon. It's so peaceful.

„You know", Theo says softly, „you look beautiful when you're speechless". I look at him to see that he is smiling, not taking his eyes off of me. „Do you seriously know all the places with the best views?", I ask laughing. „Well, you'll have to find out that on your own".

I stand and look at the Beacon Hills while Theo starts to unpack whatever is in his car. I see him carrying blue blanket and basket. „Seriously, cheesy pick-up lines, romantic destinations and now picnic", I say, „you are so cheesy, Theo". „Oh, shut up, you know you love me", he replies.

„Well, as you know", Theo says as he sits on the blanket, „I don't cook, so I got us a McDonalds". „Really romantic", I tease him. „And sorry for the lack of candles", he adds laughing, „just thought that would be too cheesy". „Well, it couldn't get any worse", I laugh with him.

Without any warning, Theo leans in and kisses me. His hands are around my shoulders and mine are around his waist. His lips are sliding across mine. When we finally part my eyes are still closed, but I hear Theo say: „Bon Appetit".

We eat and talk for a long time. It's really beautiful how we can talk about anything. Guess that that is one of the perks of dating you childhood friend.

After we finish our debate regarding an important issue of animal language I say: „You know, you gotta take me back home before midnight or Stiles will put you through hell". „Fine Cinderella", he says flatly, „let's go".

Theo drives me back home. We sit in his car for some time. But it's totally silent. Until I decide to speak up.

„Tonight was wonderful", I say shyly. What is wrong with me, I'm not shy. Theo nods and I can see him blushing. „And Theo", I say trying to be brave, „you should now that I love you". We both fall silent for a moment. „You were always there for me", I continue, „and you are one of the main reasons I am who I am today". „You changed me for better Liam", Theo says suddenly. „And I love you too", he smiles. I smile back at him and exit the car. Tonight was pretty damn great.
