"I would like to go to the park...with you, of course."

I couldn't believe my ears. I had asked Ville what he wanted to do for the day, seeing as it was Valentine's Day, and he had just told me he wanted to go to the park. I hadn't necessarily taken him seriously when he told me that he would someday go out somewhere with me. After all, the guy barely left his dorm room. I was smiling greatly now, which caused him to laugh.

"What's so funny?"

"You," he replied with a sexy grin.

He then stood up, and I followed him. It was a special day, and he wanted to do something as simple as taking me to the park. I didn't mind, I was actually quite happy, it's just that I had expected a different reply when I asked him what he would like to do. I gave him a look-over, as he barely stood when I was around; tight black jeans and a The Doors T-shirt, so simple, yet he looked goddamn sexy. I felt then and there like I should pounce him.

"Do you have a jacket?" I asked.

"Of course I do."

In case, this time I had brought his jacket with me. "Are you sure you don't want the ne you gave me?"

"Don't be silly, Bam. You're going to wear it."

"I am wearing a sweater, though."

"It's much too cold and windy for you to be wearing only a sweater."

Although that sort of talk often annoyed me, I found it nice that Ville would say that to me. It told me that he really cared, enough for me not to get any sort of cold. I pulled on the jacket I had brought with me, and followed him out the door. The jacket he wore was also black, but made out of a different material than the one I was wearing; his was nowhere near leather, like the similarity mine bore, but instead seemed more fit for winter.

It was indeed cold and windy when we got outside, but that made no difference. Ville held my hand as we walked, surprising me as no one had ever actually walked hand-in-hand with me since I was very young and April was required to. I was happy, though, and just smiled as we walked along. There were very few people outside, but we smiled to whoever we passed.

"It's been a long time since I walked around West Chester," he told me.

"Why? I mean...why do you always stay in your room?"

"I'm just very shy, and have nowhere really to go." He then was silent for a moment, before adding, "But now it doesn't matter where I go, as long as I have you by my side."

"I feel the same way."

There was more silence as we continued to walk. The only people who came to the park that day were a bunch of sledding kids, and some teenagers looking for a place to have a snowball fight. Ville and I took a seat on a bench, and watched as the kids were sledding. Although neither of us spoke, we were both thinking the same thing; someday we'd have a child like that. I leaned into Ville, and was about to close my eyes when I heard a voice.

"Bam! Bam, is that you?"

I looked up, to see Raab running closer, yelling, "Bam fucking Margera!"

Laughing as he reached me, wheezing from running, I asked, "Yes, Raab?"

"I didn't expect to see you here."

"I'm here with Ville...we came for a walk."

Raab looked at the man beside me, "Hi, I'm Chris Raab, Bam's best friend. You can call me Raab, though."

"Ville Valo. Bam's...boyfriend."

"I know that! I've heard all about you!"

Ville laughed, "Is that so?"

"Of course. Bam talks about you constantly. It's nice to finally meet you."

"You talk about me constantly?" Ville asked me.

"Well, of course. Raab is the one who's helped me through everything, from the moment I realized I love you, to...now."

He smiled, clearly happy that I had someone nice and good to confide in. Raab wasn't all nice and good, though, but that didn't bother me. Nobody's perfect, and just because Raab is a trouble-making sixteen year old alcoholic didn't mean he couldn't listen to me. I motioned for Raab to sit beside me, and he did so, rubbing his hands together as they were cold.

"So why aren't you two inside fucking each other's brains out?"

I went wide-eyed at that statement, "Raab! Shut it!"

Ville, on the other hand, calmly replied, "Because we figured it would be a nice day to go outside and see the world. Don't you think?"

"Personally, I find it too cold today."

"Raabio, I'm from Finland. I'm quite used to cold weather."

I laughed as I watched my best friend and my lover converse about the weather. Valentine's Day, although spent outside in the cold with Raab tagging along, was going spectacularly. I didn't think I could get any happier, but I smiled, and sat back to listen to them talk. The only thought that went through my mind then was that I had a happy life, and there was still more to come.
