"What do you do for fun?" Hiro asked Suguru.

Suguru looked up. "Play music," he said slowly.

Hiro rolled his eyes. "Something other than work."

Suguru blinked several times. Then he smiled slightly. "Why do you want to know?"

Hiro glared darkly at the younger boy. "Because I am your boyfriend. Because I want to do something fun that is fun for the both of us. Because all the things you like doing is either serious or…well, work," he listed.

Suguru's smile widened the tiniest bit and Hiro's glare died. "Do you go to arcades?"

Suguru's nose wrinkled and he shook his head.

"Bars? Clubs?"

A raised eyebrow.

"Um…libraries?"

Suguru gave him a flat look. "C'mere," he said. Once Hiro went over there, Suguru grabbed his hand and started dragging him. They walked for several minutes and ended up at a park.

"You like going to parks?" Hiro asked, slightly confused.

A sigh. "No." Suguru started walking again, and Hiro followed. Every once in a while, Suguru would glance up. Eventually they came to a large tree with low branches.

Suguru smiled, ran, and jumped, hands grabbing the lowest branch.

"You like…climbing trees?" Suguru pulled himself up expertly and grinned.

"Yep." Another grab, and he was up even higher. "Come on," he urged.

Hiro couldn't resist that grin or those large eyes, so he went to the lowest branch, and following Suguru's example, jumped, catching it. He pulled himself up with little trouble, but when he looked up, he saw that Suguru was higher and still climbing. Shaking his head, he continued to follow.

Soon, they were at the highest branches they could get to without the branches breaking. They looked over the park, talking in low voices, and spent they way for hours.

Suguru started to drop down onto the branch below him, ready to leave, when Hiro pulled his keys out of his pocket.

He scratched something into the tree and Suguru had to stand on his tiptoes to see what Hiro wrote.

Hiro and Suguru forever.

There was no blushing or stuttering. Just a simple kiss, an even simpler smile, and they started down the tree.
