A/N- Idea from a tumblr prompt!

First...

Nestled in each others arms, Eric nudged him with his shoulder. This rare occasion when the Effiong house was empty. They could finally do...whatever! They had make the most of it! He was eating ice cream in the bowl while Adam was gulping golf ball spoonfulls of Haagen-Dazs in the tub.

"Why can't we feed each other? It's romantic in the films!"

"Don't worry Tromboner, I've got something you can slurp on later!"

"Ha ha!" Eric shakes his head chucking the control on him.

"Hey!" He requests his attention but doesn't get it.

"Shhh...Thelma's about to start!" Eric waves him off.

Second...

"This is romance, innit? So don't complain!"

"I'm not? Did I say anything?" Eric asks as he lays down the blankets. It's all too easy to compare themselves to their double dates. Lily and Ola. Love's young dream. Holding hands in public. Ola didn't have a problem, wrapping her arm around her girlfriend's waist or inviting her over to dinner. The girls bring over the picnic basket, the taller guy immediately puts it on the floor and tucks in.

"Ad, don't stuff yourself? I've booked a restaurant!"

"Yeah whatever"

"Let him eat Eric" Ola grins. "You know how bad he gets when his stomach rumbles!"

"Cannibalism sounds like a tasty option to him" Lily agrees.

"Just...pace yourself...mate?" Eric asks as Adam pops a large scotch egg into his mouth. He chows it down in seconds, much to the horror of passers by.

"You too mate" He repeats. "Stick to salads, I need you spic and spam for later"

"Ad!" Eric whines.

"What?" Adam stares cluelessly as both girls pretend they heard nothing. They join Adam at the hamper and start eating the fruit and sandwich packs.

Final...…..

He leans against the glove compartment, tired, as the car stops.

"You still pissed?" Adam wriggles in the chair.

"Just mortified man! Thank god that picnic was a week ago! Everyday I've been praying that the girls don't remember it!"

Adam switches off the engine and they look out towards the beach. He wanted to touch Tromboner's thigh. But he thought better of it. He looked out of the window and pointed to the pier. "Wanna walk?"

"Why not? After that apple pie slice, I need the exercise!" Eric burps. They both get out of the car and walk down the pier side by side. Eric didn't know how much longer he could deal with this. He knew deep down that Adam's wasn't using him for his arse only. He knew that he wasn't fucking him, just to "test his bi waters" He'd already come out, the whole world knew that he was bisexual. He knew that that his feelings were real. He was grateful for that, but hated the ways he that handled himself in public. They neared the end of the pier and looked up at the enchanting full moon.

"Wow! It's so huge and beautiful!" Eric raises his hands up, almost wishing his long dark fingers could encase it in his palms.

"I've got another object that's huge and full of beauty for ya" Adam muttered.

"Oh fuck off! This is bullshit! Everything with you has to be about sex! I'm tired as fuck. It's not just about trying to watch films. You embarrassed the shit out of me, when we double dated with Lily and Ola. You run your mouth, with all these weird sexual puns and I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!"

"Tromb-"

"We're done!" Eric announced.

"Wait a-"

"No, look around you Ad! This is real life man! We're not in high-school anymore! This isn't a daily porno! When are you gonna finally act like an adult and grow the fuck up!" Eric yelled. He spun around to his right,to see Adam on one knee with an open jewellery box. Inside that box, was a huge multi-coloured diamond ring that caused Eric's mouth to hang open.

"OK" Adam nods. His face a blank slate. Like his creator had pressed a "shut down button" His image fading, even in moonlight. He slowly gets back up to his feet. Before Eric can say anything else, Adam closes the box in his fist and starts walking back down the pier. Eric kicks a pebble in confusion as he turns back to the moon, gets out his phone and calls his best friend.
