Kazien and Alvin smiled broadly seeing the special menu. Memories of the past immediately flooded their minds.
However, a different reaction was shown by Allen and Arken. At their respective tables, they stared at the dish in surprise. There was only one large bowl filled with noodles and tempting thick broth, accompanied by two spoons and two forks. Next to it, there was only one large glass with a unique straw that branched into two at the tip.
"What menu is this?" asked Arken confusedly, staring at the bowl then turning to the shadow Kazien sitting next to him. "Did they forget to bring a portion for you, Brother?"
Kazien, who was sitting closely next to Arken, just smiled mysteriously, then pointed towards the end table, where Kazien and Alvin had already started.
"Look over there!"
Allen and Arken turned simultaneously. Their eyes widened and their mouths opened slightly in amazement.
At that table, Alvin was spooning noodles, blowing on them gently, then feeding them to Kazien's mouth sitting next to him affectionately. And vice versa. Their seating position side by side made the interaction feel very intimate.
So, is this what the menu ordered by him looks like? thought Allen in amazement, his cheeks starting to heat up. No wonder there is only a bowl of noodles and two spoons and forks at our table. This... this is very intimate!
The same went for Arken. His confusion vanished instantly, replaced by a wave of euphoria. He realized the golden opportunity before his eyes. Sitting next to Kazien made it easy for him to make physical contact.
Finally! Finally, I can feed him with my own two hands! exclaimed Arken in his heart, full of spirit with sparkling eyes. This date is really great! I am so happy to be able to feed my beloved future husband affectionately!
Without hesitation, Allen and Arken immediately picked up their spoons, wanting to pamper Kazien sitting next to them.
At Arken's table:
Arken's hand trembled slightly from nervousness as he spooned the noodles and broth. He tilted his body slightly, directing the spoon to Kazien's mouth beside him.
"M-My Huby... Aaaaa...." said Arken nervously, his voice sounding like a squeak but trying to look affectionate and spoiled. His face was already red as a tomato.
Kazien smiled fondly seeing his youngest fiancé's cute behavior. He turned and started to open his mouth.
Chomp!
Kazien accepted the first spoonful from Arken, chewing it with delight. "Delicious. Your feeding makes it taste even better."
Arken almost fainted hearing that praise.
"Now it's your turn, Arken. Come on, Aaaaa...." Kazien took a turn spooning noodles for Arken.
Arken, who was nervous, slowly opened his mouth.
Chomp!
Arken accepted the first spoonful from Kazien for the first time in his life as a partner. The savory taste of noodles mixed with happiness exploded on his tongue. He was so happy that his body moved unconsciously. Arken leaned his head on Kazien's shoulder sitting next to him very affectionately, ignoring other people's stares.
"You are the best, My Huby... I love you!" he whispered while nuzzling spoiled on that shoulder.
Kazien put down his spoon, then stroked Arken's brown hair leaning on his shoulder gently. "I love you too, Arken," answered Kazien sincerely. "Seeing you happy full of smiles like this makes me very happy. My promise to your father is starting to be fulfilled."
Arken lifted his head from Kazien's shoulder, then turned his face to look at his fiancé from a very close distance. Their noses almost touched from the side.
"In that case, I will always show my smile to you. Only for you!" he replied, which was then ended by a wide smile showing his neat row of teeth.
Kazien returned that smile with a warm gaze that melted the heart.
The effect was instant. Arken felt his knees go weak. He almost lost control because he was captivated by that lethal smile.
That was close! thought Arken while squeezing the tablecloth under the table. If I couldn't hold back, I would have immediately climbed onto his lap and kissed him all out in public! Hold it, Arken, hold it! Don't do anything silly and embarrassing in front of many people!
At Allen's table:
The situation was no less heated. Allen and Kazien sitting side by side were also feeding each other in a harmonious rhythm. Happiness on Allen's cute face could be seen very clearly, shining brightly.
I never expected that I could feed my future husband for the first time this quickly! said Allen in his heart, blossoming. And for the first time too, I received a spoonful from him. This truly makes me happy!
Allen stared at Kazien's lips from the side, watching that firm jaw move while chewing. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down.
I want to marry him immediately! screamed Allen in his heart again, his impatience peaking. I don't want to always hold back my desire. Just seeing his smiling face already makes my sexual desire rise! Oh my gosh, this future husband of mine... why is he so handsome? I feel like eating him, not the noodles!
"My Love?" called Allen affectionately, breaking his own daydream, leaning his body closer to Kazien.
"Yes, Allen, what is it?" asked Kazien softly, turning to the side.
"You are the best! I love you so much!" answered Allen honestly and sincerely, his eyes looking straight into Kazien's eyes.
"You are also the best! I love you, Allen."
Hearing that reply, Allen gathered the courage to ask something that was weighing on his heart. "But... I want to marry you immediately!" replied Allen with a slightly spoiled whining tone. "When can we officially get married?"
Kazien smiled reassuringly. He placed his hand on top of Allen's hand on the table, rubbing the back of that hand with his thumb.
"Just wait for a few more years, Allen." answered Kazien patiently. "We have to finish our education at the academy first. After we graduate, we will definitely get married!"
Allen smiled happily, a little disappointed at having to wait, but relieved because there was certainty. He nodded obediently.
"Alright then... let's eat this together."
Since they were sitting side by side, they tilted their heads respectively. Kazien bit one end, and Allen bit the other end. They started eating the same noodle strand, shortening the distance between their faces inch by inch.
Allen's heart beat fast. He looked at Kazien's face from a super close distance until Kazien's curling eyelashes were clearly visible. Their lips got closer... closer... until their noses touched from the side and their lips almost collided.
At the next table, Arken was also doing the same thing. His face flushed red as he shared noodles with Kazien, their breaths mingling, creating a thrilling "noodle kiss" moment.
And at that moment, at the center table...
Kazien, who was sitting casually next to Alvin, saw the golden moments at the two tables beside him.
"Time to capture the memories!" mumbled Kazien.
Unbeknownst to Allen and Arken who were busy being affectionate, Kazien activated creation magic in his hand.
Kazien took photos of their happy moments.
Two photos capture the moment Allen and Kazien, as well as Arken and Kazien, sit side by side, sharing noodles in a very intimate pose, their noses touching, their eyes gazing at each other lovingly. The pose is exactly the same as in a photo of Alvin and Kazien from the past.
Alvin, who was sitting next to Kazien and saw what his fiancé was doing, immediately smiled happily, giving a thumbs up.
It didn't stop there. The next moment, when Allen and Arken switched to drinks, they drank from the branched straw with their respective partners. Because they were sitting side by side, their cheeks pressed tightly against Kazien's cheek, eyes closed enjoying the freshness of the drink and the warmth of their lover's skin.
Once again, Kazien deftly took two photos of that sweet moment.
The results were perfect. Those photos captured the essence of love and pure happiness from an intimate perspective.
Finally... said Kazien to himself, sighing in relief while looking at the results of his magic snapshots. I didn't make a fatal mistake when I first dated Alvin. And this time, I managed to capture our moments of togetherness perfectly.
Alvin leaned his body, peeking at the photo results still floating in the air thanks to Kazien's magic. Four photo frames were now formed.
"My Dear, their poses are exactly the same as the two of us in the past." praised Alvin sincerely, his eyes sparkling seeing their family memory collection increase. "You are truly detailed."
"Yes, I want your pose and theirs to be the same." answered Kazien honestly while smiling. "Seeing your happy smiles in the same frame makes my happiness multiply! This is my treasure."
Then, with an elegant hand movement, Kazien stored the four photo frames into his storage dimension space. He wouldn't give them now. He would save them and give them to Allen and Arken later, as a sweet surprise to close their extraordinary first date.
Both Allen and Arken, unaware that they had been photographed, continued their lunch. Both enjoyed their first date moment with full happiness, without knowing there was an eternal and very sweet gift waiting for them.
