-Seto's POV-

Brice and I looked at Miss Beaufort with a questioning look. She must have noticed because she blinked, surprised.

"Oh, did I forget to mention? Each piece from this class is getting judged externally, and the best wins a spot at Sutton Hill University, in the media department. You'll also receive £1000 each! Its a big competition, it's a wonder you didn't know of it beforehand." she explained.

I turned to Brice nervously. Would he want the songs professing our love in public for all to see? Would he hate me if people made fun of him for it?

I was quiet until Miss Beaufort left the. I frantically started signing my thoughts to Brice, who gave me a warm smile.

"It's ok Seto, we can handle it. We may not even win! We would have to present it to the class anyway."

His voice was soothing and reassured me somewhat - but present to the rest of the class?!

I was terrified of standing up and presenting very personal opinions to the rest of the class, who weren't exactly friendly towards Brice and I.

I walked back to home with Brice cringing at the thought, getting more and more wound up.

When we got back I had been fretting so much that I started getting dizzy.

I leant against the wall, taking deep breaths, exhaling loudly, the panic obvious. I was standing there for a while when Brice walked in.

"Babe, I was thinking of having pizza- Seto! Are you ok?!"

He rushed to me and supported my shaking body. I felt like my legs were going to give out as he sat me down at the kitchen table.

"It's alright Seto, just breathe. Take deep breaths. It's going to be alright baby."

He went to the sink and returned to my side holding a glass of water. He sat on the chair next to me and rubbed my leg with one hand comfortingly, while the other hand was over mine as I clasped the glass, fingers trembling.

Every now and then he would help me raise the glass to my lips to get me to drink.

"Shhhhh, it's ok just breathe. Try and relax Seto, I've got you. Take little sips of water to help calm down."

He continued to whisper sweet nothings to me until soon I felt myself calm down.

Once I had, I placed the the glass on the table. I looked at Brice, who had a frightened look on his face, and smiled, putting a hand on his, still on my leg.

"Feel better my dear?" he asked, a slight tremor in his voice behind the smile.

I nodded and stood up. Before I could walk out, Brice shot up and put and arm around my waist, protectively.

I rolled my eyes and smirked at him. He smirked back as we walked to the living room, him leading me carefully to the sofa.

"Ok," he said, sitting down pulling me onto his lap, arms around my waist still, "Spill Seto."

He looked at me with a stern but friendly expression, showing he was serious, wanting me to explain my near panic attack. I sighed and began to explain.

'I was just scared about doing the presentation. I don't want to do it! Public speaking is hardly my forte you know. ' I gave him a sarcastic look with the last part. He chortled at me.

"Seto you moose, only one of us has to speak, so I'll do it. You can hold the board up if you want, so at least you're participating." he chuckled.

I huffed with relief, then laughed with Brice. 'God, how do you put up with me sometimes?' I signed, annoyed at myself for getting paranoid about something so petty.

Brice tickled my sides and I giggled. "I love you, that's why. I'd put up with a thousand panic attacks just to be with you. Now come on, let's order pizza!"

He picked me up and carried me to the kitchen, both of us laughing our asses off.

The rest of the week had flown by. After the drama on Monday, I didn't get bothered by the comments and didn't let them get to me, so eventually they stopped and everything returned to normal.

I was excited for later, Brice had promised me a surprise and I couldn't wait!

It was five o'clock on a Saturday afternoon and I was sitting down, bored out of my mind, on the couch in the living room. Brice emerged from the kitchen with a sly grin on his face.

"We're going out in half an hour Seto. Now come on, get changed! Nothing too fancy, just casual, but nice."

Animated, I hopped off the couch and quickly hugged him, before racing to my room. I was practically buzzing with excitement! This would be Brice and I's first 'official' date!

I went to my bedroom and searched through my wardrobe. I found a charcoal grey long sleeve shirt and a pair of black skinny jeans.

I also pulled out my best hoodie, with black sleeves and zip, the rest a deep violet colour, with black trim on the front of the hood.

I tried to do something with my hair but gave up in the end. I didn't put on my headband and slipped on my black Vans. I looked myself up and down in the mirror.

Not bad I thought, adjusting my hood.

I practically ran to the hall and saw Brice waiting for me at the front door. He looked breathtaking.

He looked amazing in his outfit, black skinny jeans and black sweater, with a gold ingot on the front. He had put gel in his already vertical hair and I could smell the alluring scent of his favourite cologne wafting off him.

He looked up from his phone and smiled, glancing me up and down. I struck a stupid pose and he laughed.

"Absolutely fabulous darling!" he squealed in a fake camp voice. I giggled and he pulled me close.

"You do look stunning though babe. In fact... you look downright sexy in black" he whispered in my ear in a deep voice as he opened the door. It sent chills down my spine and I shivered as we left the flat.

When we got to the car, he put his hands over my eyes. I squeaked with surprise as he led me to the passenger seat.

"Don't want to spoil the surprise do we? Put this on Seto." He handed me a scarf that I assumed he wanted me to use as a blindfold.

I raised my eyebrow as I gave him an unsure expression. He grinned devilishly and wiggled his eyebrows, taking the scarf and putting it over my eyes himself.

"Come on babe, it's a secret. Trust me, you'll love it, I promise." I fake pouted as he pulled out and began driving us to the mystery date.

We drove for what felt like hours. Once we stopped, I could hear loud music and laughter.

Brice led me out of the car and towards the sound. A sweet smell hit me and he stopped walking.

"Ok Seto, take it off." I didn't need to be told twice. I tore it off my face and squinted at the bright lights. We were at the fairground!

I gapped like a fish at all of the rides, the crowds of excited people and the delicious smell that lingered from before. Brice nudged me in the ribs.

"What do you think? Bricey do good?" he said, almost shouting over the noise. I nodded enthusiastically and hugged Brice fiercely, almost knocking him to the ground.

He let out a muffled 'oof' and choked out, "I'll take that as a yes then... Seto, babe, you're strangling me..."

I let him go and blushed bashfully. Brice laughed and grabbed my hand.

"Come on then, let's get some candy floss!"

We ran to the line for one of the food stalls and waited to be served.

When we got our candy floss, I almost ate my entire stick in one go, the sugar sticking to my face and even some getting in my hair!

"Slow down Seto, you'll get a stomach ache!" Brice muttered, chortling. I finished it and licked my fingers to get the sticky goodness off them.

Brice stared at me as I did so, biting his lip. I could see the lust in his eyes as he fought to hold back.

Mentally I sighed. He had been deliberately going slow for me so far, which was very sweet of him, but sometimes I knew he just wanted to move a little faster.

I decided to let him have something - just a little thing to keep him going for now. I wiggled my eyebrows at him, teasing him slightly. He smirked and leaned in close to my face.

"Here, you missed some." he purred in my ear. He ran his tongue over my sticky chin and eventually met my lips.

It made me feel a little tense at first, until he started to kiss me fully. I smiled into the kiss, content with just staying like this.

We stayed kissing sloppily for a few minutes. But things started getting a little heated, as he snaked his hands down my back, and slipped them into my back pockets, squeezing my ass slightly.

I gasped with surprise when he did that, memories of my father flashing in front of me and pulled back, disconnecting the kiss.

I shook my head, pushing the memories out of my head and he nodded understandingly, taking his hands away. I frowned, and he hugged me.

"Sorry if I went too far there babe." he whispered guiltily. I smiled weakly and he let go.

Not wanting to spoil our date, I tugged his hand and dragged him over to one of the rides. He groaned at my choice.

"Seriously, the dodgems?" he whined, pouting. Nu uh bitch, these were my favourite!

I gave him a pleading look and huge puppy dog eyes and he shook his head in defeat.

"Fine, but after we go on the coaster." he said, offering a compromise. I nodded and soon it was our turn.

After we got off the dodgems, we went and stood in the queue for the roller coaster.

I watched as a car full for people climbed up to the top of the ride. I gulped as the car dropped down, listening to the people's screams ricochet through my eardrums.

I was suddenly very scared as our turn approached. After the previous run ended, Brice and I made our way to the front of the car.

We sat down and as the bar came down I started to freak out. Quivering, I turned to Brice, who saw my panicked expression.

He scooted closer to me under the tight bar and put his arm around me. As the ride stared, I clung onto his arm, my legs stiff, and my heartbeat picking up speed as we inched up towards the top.

Brice's arm around me pulled me closer to him, and he kissed the top of my head, relaxing me slightly.

"It's ok Seto, I'm here, you're safe. It's only a ride. Look, there's the camera that takes your picture on the ride!" He pointed at a black metal box just on the other side of the incline.

The car came to a stop at the top, teetering over the edge. I glanced back at Brice, who gave me a supportive smile.

The car suddenly toppled forward. I shut my eyes and was about to scream, when Brice grabbed the back of my head and kissed me passionately, distracting me from the ride.

It was like a firecracker exploding in my heart. I felt nothing but his warm lips moving over mine, soft and sensitive as he took away my fears.

He pulled back after a few seconds and I whimpered at the loss. He just smile and whispered

"The rides over Seto, we have to get off." I stood up in a daze, looking around.

Indeed the ride had finished, and people stood at the sides waiting to get on. Brice helped me off and we both went over to the souvenir stand.

"Look babe, let's see if we can find our picture!" Brice exclaimed excitedly. Picture? Oh right, the camera from the coaster.

I scanned the screens adorning the wall behind until I found the picture of us. It was a great photo, I have to say.

The camera had focused on us, no one else was even in shot. It was the perfect image of us, lips locked, heads tilted in the right position.

I chuckled to myself. This is what he was planning all along.

I pulled Brice's sleeve and pointed it out to him. He sighed dreamily as he stared at it, eyes glazing over.

He ordered two prints, and once we got them he carefully tucked them into his messenger bag.

We walked around for a bit and I started to feel really tired. I stifled a yawn as we left the fairground.

"Come on Seto, let's go home and get some beauty sleep." I smiled sleepily and rubbed my eyes. Brice aww'd and I stuck out my tongue playfully.

'You don't need it, you're already stunning' I clumsily signed to Brice. He sighed happily and aww'd again.

He picked me up and set me down on the hood of his car. He placed his lips on mine, gingerly, remembering earlier.

I pulled him closer to show him he was fine, and we stayed kissing for a while. I felt like I was about to fall asleep there and then, so broke it off, and placed my head on Brice's shoulder.

He swung me into his arms and pushed me gently into the seat. The last thing I remember before falling asleep is feeling Brice's soft lips graze my forehead and him murmuring.

"I love you Seto. Goodnight me love."

I feel asleep that night as we went home with a smile on my face.
