The Great Big Outdoors
It's been several months now since Thomas' adventures at the Rainbow Room with Sebastian, it's near the end of his final semester at high school, and now he's browsing through the local colleges and universities to pursue a degree in art. Since the last chapter, he and his lover have gone on several romantic dates, and some of them had ended up with Thomas in the nude...but nonetheless, the two have grown even closer to one another, and have been seeing each other for almost a full year now. Sebastian plans on going to college with Thomas on account of his sports, but right now he's got something special planned for his lover...

"Hmmmm....no, Rockwell is too far from home, besides they don't have a good art program," I said into my phone, currently held up to my ear as I talked with Sebastian.
"Well we gotta pick something soon, or we won't be able to get in this coming semester after we graduate," Seb said teasingly, in that oh so cute way he did.
"Don't worry Seb, I think I've got just the perfect University in mind, it's called Blue River University, it's got a great art program and offers sports scholarships to students, I've already got an offer from them too," I said.
Seb seemed to consider this for a moment, before saying:
"Yeah! I got one too, I had to look through the mountain of letters I've been getting lately, but yeah it's right in the middle of town, it sounds perfect!" he said excitedly.
My heart thundered in my chest at the words, and I even blushed a little.
"It looks like they require students to take some required natural science classes, I've been taking a look at their options to see which one doesn't sound too boring," I said.
"Eh we'll focus on that later, but hey, listen, we've both been so busy lately, I think we could both use a break, what do you say?" Seb said.
Oh thank god, I could really use one right about now I thought to myself.
"Uhhh, sure Seb, what'd you have in mind?" I replied.
Seb chuckled a little first, and it took him a moment to finally respond.
"I was thinking we could go on a hike through that nature trail hardly anyone uses anymore, it's a great day out, besides, if no one's there, we might have some additional fun there," he said, barely managing to say those last few words before busting out laughing.
I felt the heat in my cheeks bloom once more as my mind immediately drifted to dirty thoughts, so much so I could barely utter my response.
"Uhm...uhhhh sure, Seb, that sounds like fun, where do you want to meet?" I finally replied.
"Right outside your house is fine...in fact I'm already here," he said, and I immediately scrambled off of my bed towards my bedroom window.
Sure enough there he was, standing there grinning like an adorable idiot carrying two bags with one arm while he used the other to speak into his phone.
"You coming down?" he said, I could see his lips move from my window.
I sighed, but with a smile on my face, he's too cute for his own damn good I thought to myself, and said "be down in five," then hung up the phone.
Sebastian
Thomas emerged from his house right on time, he was punctual like that, and it was just another thing that added to how cute he was. I beamed at the sight of him, he had decided to wear some jogging shorts and a white tank top, and neglected to say what sort of undergarments he chose to wear for today.
"Hey there sweetie, you all set?" I said, and Thomas blushed a little but he smiled, one that made me melt inside every time I saw it.
I pushed aside my infatuation for now as Thomas said "Yeah babe, I'm ready," he said.
I turned around and heard Thomas follow behind me, and I walked back towards my car and threw my two bags I had with me in the backseat, and I went ahead and climbed into the driver's seat. Not a moment later the passenger's side door opened and Thomas hopped in. Before he could say anything I leaned over and planted a kiss on his lips, which quickly turned into something deeper. I one hand through his hair and the other explored his chest, feeling his smooth hairless skin as we explored each other's mouths.
"Mhmm," I heard him say, and I spared a glance to his crotch, and sure enough I saw him twitch.
It took effort, but I broke away to look at him, staring into his eyes and I finally had the courage to ask him the question I had been dying to ask for several weeks now.
"Hey uhh...Thom, we've been seeing each other for awhile now, and well...I thought..." I trailed off as I saw his expression turn from confusion into a bright, beaming smile that distracted me from my thoughts.
It took a moment, but I finally regained my composure and said "Thomas....will you be my boyfriend? Officially?" I said, a blush on my own cheeks now.
Thomas shot up with excitement and "are you kidding? I thought we already were!" he said sarcastically.
My face turned even redder, and I gave him a sheepish smile as I said "Well...we sure do act like it," I said, laughing softly.
"But seriously Seb...of course I want to be your boyfriend, nothing is ever going to change that," Thomas said.
