Ivan breathed out shakily, trying to steady his hands. Both boys were nervous, but the Russian showed it more than his boyfriend did. They walked along the streets of Trinity Village; the smell of lavender and some spicy, foriegn food blew past them.
Alfred was trying to calm himself down as they held hands. That alone was a huge step. Ivan had even asked to hold his hand, fearing rejection ever second of the way, which he thought was the sweetest thing ever.
As they neared Alfred's family apartment, they slowed down a bit, as if they were trying to slow down time. Taking the initiative, the younger teen stopped them and took both of Ivan's hands. "It was great tonight, yeah?" Ivan nodded, blushing ever so sweetly.
"It was good, Fredka… I had a perfect time." The Russian said as he squeezed his right hand gently, smiling. During their dinner down at the local Chinese restaurant, they had decided that they would kiss later. And that scared the Russian more than anything.
"It's okay, Vanya… Don't worry…" He said, placing his hand on the other's cheek. A soft smile appeared on his face. Ivan nodded, biting his lip. Sure, he was excited that he would be sharing his first kiss with the most beautiful guy he'd ever seen… But he was worried that he wouldn't be good at it. Every worry that he could possibly think of ran through his head.
But despite the shared fear, Alfred leaned up to kiss him. He didn't go all the way, expecting him to go the rest of the way. The Russian was terrified but he leaned down a little bit as well, tilting his head to the side. When their lips connected, there were no sparks. They didn't try to move further, but let their lips touch ever so softly. Ivan's hands rested gently on the shorter boy's shoulders, but Alfred's hands lay limp. He'd waited for this moment all night… And it was worth it.
When they parted, Alfred was the first to smile, within a couple of seconds. "See you at school tomorrow?" He said, with blue eyes sparkling.
"Yeah… We should do this again sometime!" The Russian said with a smile. Alfred nodded, smiling as he ran up the steps to his dwelling.
"I love you!" He said excitedly, like the little schoolboy he really was inside.
Ivan paused a moment before responding. "I love you too, Fredka!" He said, smiling a little bit more. Alfred smiled at this, and ran inside. The Russian didn't immediately leave, but stood there in a much deserved happy haze as he went home.
