23 Date Night

Zeke was up to something.

Simon woke up to an empty house. Zeke’s side of the bed was cold, meaning his boyfriend had not been in bed for a while.

Simon reached for his phone to check the time.

It was around 10.30am.

“Zeke?” Simon called out. The entire house was silent.

Simon stretched and his arm brushed something crinkly. He turned to see a small green parcel with a note attached.

Grinning, he sat up and picked up the parcel; he grinned as he read the note.

Going out for stuff. Happy Christmas Eve! Hope you’re ready for tonight?

Simon frowned. Tonight? What was happening tonight?

He opened the tiny box and a smile appeared on his face.

In the red lining of the box, wrapped in clear plastic was a guitar pick. Simon laughed softly as he took it out. He hadn’t even played since that time with Zeke.

“What a dork.” He murmured but he was grinning.
