The Surprise 1

Sato didn't have a meal in school and so, he started to feel hungry halfway through their beach outing. The grumbling of his stomach was a clear giveaway sign that Sato needed to he fed.

Gray laughed lightheartedly at the boy, before pulling him out of the seat. "Let's go grab some food."

The couple walked down the pedestrian pathway exploring the shops that were set up by the beach. Eventually, a small tentage that had a sign 'Freshly Caught Grilled Fish For Sale' caught Sato's eye.

"Let's eat there!" Sato quickly pulled Gray into the tent. The place only had a total of four seats that faced the cook, two were already taken by another couple and so Sato didn't want others to take it.

When they settled down, the owner of the tentage told Sato what fishes were available today. He settled for the Salt Baked Sea Bass with a bowl of rice.

When it came out in the salt shell, Sato cracked it open with a mini hammer. The aroma of the fresh fish expunged outwards as it invaded their nose. White smoke drifted out of the dish non-stop, making the food look mysterious. Using his chopstick to pick up a small chunk of meat, Sato delivered it straight into his mouth. As expected, the white meat was heavenly.

"Open up!" Wanting to share the joy with Gray, Sato picked up another chunk of meat for Gray. He fed it to him lovingly, to which Gray accepted it with a great big smile.

A simple meal spent eating together with someone you love far outweighed the greatness of an extravagant repast.

...

When Sato ate finish all the meat on the fish, they left for the car. Apparently, Gray had something planned while Sato had his lunch. No matter how many times Sato tried to peek, Gray's privacy screen protector prevented him from knowing what was going on.

"Where are we going?" Sato asked again when he was in the car.

"It's a secret." Gray said cryptically.

"How bout you give me a small hint?"

"Nope.. No hints."

"Come on..." Sato puffed up his cheeks, looking all mad at Gray for not letting him know where they were going. It only made Gray happier to see Sato this curious.

"We're almost there anyways." Gray was driving along the beach side. It seemed like they were going somewhere around here. "So be patient for a bit."

The Gale X drove up one of the island's eroding hill. Over the years, the weather and water had slowly chipped away on one side of the hill. Eventually, it became a cliff on that side. Gray's final destination was none other than the cliff.

Stopping near the edge of the fence, Sato and Gray got off the vehicle. They were immediately welcomed with the cliff view of the ocean. The dark blue hue from the waters, coupled with the azure blue sky and the cawing of the flying seagulls, made this place look so serene.

"This is so beautiful.." Sato exclaimed. He felt this way about Gray's house view too. Just that one overlooked the glorious city of Country Z, while the other showcased the vast ocean.

"You're more beautiful." Gray pulled Sato's messy hair back. The wind had prevented him from admiring his own perfect view.

Sato felt speechless upon hearing Gray's cheesy comment. Only a handsome guy like Gray could get away with it.

"Besides, this isn't the surprise of this visit." Gray continued to lead Sato on.

"What? Then what is the surprise?" Sato grabbed Gray's arm as he swung it around playfully. Gray walked forward and guided Sato along a worn down path. There were no grass on this pathway. It was obvious that many people had went down this way before.

The pathway eventually ended, expanding out into a large patch of dirt land. The surrounding of this flat earth were multitudes of naked trees that shedded crimson red maple leaves on the ground. The sign wrote 'camping ground' on it.

Since it was autumn, no one had any plans of camping and the place was barren. Except this time, in Gray's surprise, a black shipping container box sat right smack in front of them. Two chairs were placed facing the large red box.

How did that shipping container get there? Well, it didn't take a genius to get the answer, but Sato had to confirm it anyways.

"Gray, by any chance, you had this shipping container brought all the way up here?" Sato looked up at his boyfriend questionably. He didn't want to believe it was true until he heard it from Gray directly.

"Yes. In fact, I did using a helicopter." And of course he did. Gray said it so normally that it made Sato even more speechless.

"Why did you have to do that?"

"Due to time constraints, I had Potter use my helicopter to move the entire set up over here." Gray guided Sato into the seat as usual. He continued to explain his surprise to the young man. "This surprise of mine was impromptu. Since I know that you love them so much, but you were unable to watch them earlier on, I decided why not we watch it now. Together."

When Gray spoke the word 'together', the side of the container facing the couple detached and fell on the ground in a controlled manner. This shipping container was rather special as it was actually more of a stage than a containment unit.

Inside, the ceiling lights of the box turned on, revealing 5 individuals. A drummer, a bassist, a pianist, a guitarist and a singer were waiting on the inside. With the taping on the drum sticks, the band began to play their melody.

And just like how they had played it just hours ago in front of thousands of people in the university, the Sirens sang their latest cover song, but this time, it was dedicated to one individual.
