"Dino, congrats, my darling!" Ivan exclaimed as soon as he and Dino met up inside the locker room after the swimming competition was over.
"Thanks, Ivan," Dino responded with a gentle smile. "If it wasn't for your encouragement, I would probably have failed."
"You're welcome, Dino," Ivan answered happily. "Of course I'll always be here to support you. I'm your boyfriend."
Dino's eyes softened after hearing Ivan's sincere and sweet declaration. Ivan, who found Dino's soft eyes to be cute, put his large hands on Dino's cheeks before leaning forward to kiss Dino.
"Wait," Dino said, stopping Ivan with his hand and surprising the latter in turn. "We can't do it right here. What if someone else sees us?"
"Oh, right. Sorry, Dino," Ivan replied apologetically while caressing the back of his head. "I couldn't help because you were so cute with those adorable eyes."
Dino blushed and answered, "W-Well...there you go again. You're finding me cute."
