Aeron played with his phone, debating if he wanted to text him or not. After a few more moments of debating and finishing his Starbucks, he decided to go for it. I'm at the food court @ the mall if you wanna come... He texted to Loreto, his actions seeming like someone was holding a gun to his head and making him text his... husband. Aeron shuddered, preferring not to be reminded about that even though he wore the wedding ring around his neck on a chain.

Loreto was just lying across his bed, locked away in his room. He just wanted some privacy after explaining to everyone what had happened while in Vegas. Alex was still pissed. More so at Aeron than at him. Toni was just in shock that Loreto would even drink so much then get married like that. And everyone else was just murmuring to each other about it around the house and to their friends like it was some high school rumor. He got sick of it. He fingered the ring he held above his head, flipping it around examining it before he accidently dropped it, having it bounce on his face and to the ground. "Ouch." he grunted, rubbing his nose as he went to pick up the ring. His phone vibrated then. Loreto grabbed the ring, slipped it back on his finger before flipping open his phone to see Aeron's text staring at him. This made him smile. He quickly texted back, I'll be right there. :), and rushed to get dressed. He just grabbed some dark blue skinny jeans and a simple collared shirt rolling up the sleeves midway, and grabbed his wallet and phone before heading out, rather quickly too, before anyone, especially Alex questioned about his whereabouts.
He made it to the mall food court in record time, quickly able to eye out his er, husband. He was still iffy on calling him that, let alone mentioning it to him. They were both still sort of awkward about it lets just say. "Hey, Aer." he smiled, tapping on his shoulder before grabbing a seat across from him.

Aeron glanced up when he heard his name, and stopped a smile (of all things, Aeron thought) from forming on his face. "Hey. Sit." He offered, pointing to the chair across from him. He played with his empty Starbucks cup, wondering if he could convince Loreto to buy them coffee. There was, after all, a coffee shop in the mall. In fact, it was the very coffee shop Aeron worked at, so he could get them discounts. After a couple seconds of silence, he asked, very bluntly, "So you tell you family yet?"

Loreto did just that, sitting, albeit awkwardly, with his hands resting over the table. After a moment of awkward silence then, Aeron decided to break the ice first. Loreto's smile turned into a small frown just then. "Um..well," it wasn't that his family didn't know, it was just that he wasn't the one who told them himself. Alex helped him with that. "They do know about it, yes." he finished, shrugging lightly. "I didn't exactly get to tell them myself though...." he added in, figuring Aeron would know what he meant by that.

Aeron nodded, muttering a small "ah' as he played with the lid of his coffee cup. "So then uh... how've you been since then?" He asked him, only giving Loreto small glances.

"Eh..mostly been locked up in my room. Aside from school I mean.." he replied, glancing down at Aeron's coffee cup as well, not exactly giving eye contact either. "I guess I've been more of a loner than usual lately. I don't know... What about you?"

"I didn't tell my mom yet, but it's still just been work..." He smirked, "I made it out of high school." He bragged. He motioned for Loreto to stand up and follow him, then got up and threw away the cup, "secretly" leading him to the coffee shop within the mall.

"Oh..." was all Loreto said, before he stood when Aeron motioned him too, and followed him back out into the mall to who knows where. Loreto guessed it was probably a coffee shop, knowing Aeron. It was a long silence before Loreto decided to break the ice again. "So..um, do you, like, plan on telling your mom, or anyone really?" he asked in the most curious of tones.

Aeron made a face and shrugged. "I guess... when I figure out a way to tell her." He answered simply, shoving his hands into his pockets. "I told two of my brothers and swore them to secrecy, but we'll see..." He added. He pointed to the coffee shop in the distance. "I work there, y'know? You should..." His voice faded as he just realized he was about to be nice. He cleared his throat and finished quieter, "come me visit me sometime..."

"Ohh." Loreto said again. He smiled when he pointed to the coffee shop explaining how he worked there now. "Oh, thats cool." he laughed lightly as he rephrased his sentence. "I would love to visit you sometime. You think you could get me a few discounts, too?" he asked curiously, as well as seriously.

"Only if you pay for a coffee for us now." He replied, looking at Loreto as if warning him to be careful of his next words. He had a smirk on his face, actually feeling playful for once.

Loreto's smile slowly regrew back on his face again, noticing how playful Aeron was actually being to him. "Well, just as long as you keep your promise about giving me a discount. I don't want to be paying full price when I don't have to..." he teased right back, nudging his shoulder playfully with a chuckle. He grabbed his wallet from his back pocket and pulled out a few bucks. "I take it you want the usual then?" he asked, fully aware of what type of coffee Aeron liked, what was his favorite, and everything. Isn't that what a boyfriend does for his boyfriend?

Aeron crossed his arms across his chest. "Yeah, sure. I'll remember." He promised, then nodded about the drink preference. Once they got up to the counter, he smiled slightly to the girl behind it. "Hey Aeron." She said happily. She seemed relatively clueless about the fact he was gay. Aeron changed his smile to a smirk. "Give me the discount, but he's paying. Please?" He asked in a sickeningly sweet but mocking tone. She blushed slightly and nodded, typing in the proper buttons to give them the discount. Aeron nudged Loreto slightly, giving him the sign it was time for him to talk as he just munched on his bottom lip.

Loreto followed him up to the counter, raising his brow up slightly to the girl speaking to Aeron. Doesn't she know Aeron's Gay? That he's as a matter of fact, with me? Loreto could tell this girl was clueless by the way she spoke and acted. When Loreto got nudged then, he cleared his throat and told the girl their order, paying the correct amount soon after. Loreto led Aeron off to the side to wait for their order, and couldn't help but ask about the girl. "Um...does she...?" he started, assuming he knew what he was going to ask.

Aeron smirked, "pfft, no. She's dumb as a rock. Sixteen, first job. I had to teach her how to clean a coffee cup after her first shift." He told Loreto simply, making it obvious he didn't care at all about this girl. He put his hands into his pockets, leaving his thumbs hanging out. "Thanks." He told Loreto simply, not seeming willing to give anymore than that in terms of gratitude.
