"That sounds like fun," said Chance with a laugh, scrawling out his name. It hovered for a moment in midair and then fizzled away, spots dancing behind his eyes. "I really liked when we had BBQs, but they didn't happen very often. Guess the headmistress thought we would be bad with groups or something."
He turned his head to grin at Otto, stepping closer to wrap his free arm around Otto's waist.
"I know how you are about crowds, so I thought it might be fun to have a little celebration, just the two of us instead."

Otto smiled, leaning into Chance's form and resting his head on the man's shoulder. His free arm wrapped around Chance as well, and the light of his sparkler carried on, flashing interesting lights and shadows all around. With a mischievous push, he pressed the bright end of his sparkler against the middle of Chance's, causing it to have two bright flashing points, but also a shorter life span.

He liked this - standing here with Otto, just the two of them alone on the rooftop, beneath the blanket of stars. Their arms fit nicely around each other, warm and secure, and Chance gave a little hum of surprise and amusement as Otto's sparkler touched his own. He stuck out his tongue playfully, sweeping the rapidly dying one in a circle until it fizzled pleasantly out, ashes dropping to their feet harmlessly.
"Brat," said Chance affectionately, leaning to kiss the top of Otto's head.

" Haha mine's still lit." Not for long, as soon it too died out. Still, his had lasted the longest, therefore he won the non-existent competition. He let the stick drop for now, and reached his remaining arm around Chance. Call him a sap, but he really just wanted to hug him right now.

The sparkler fell from Chance's own fingers, completely out, and he happily wrapped his own arms around his boyfriend. Otto tended to call him a sap, but Chance was more just honest in general, usually unafraid to say what he was thinking...which, at times, was apparently rather sappy.
"Thank you for today," Chance murmured, arms resting around Otto's shoulders as he pulled back a little. He bent his head and touched their foreheads together, humming in pleasure. "Did you have fun?"

"Mmmhmm. Yeah." He murmured in response. It had been a lazy day, a warm day, a quiet day. It put him at ease, comfortable and content. "Thank you, too. For stuff.." Vague as ever, Otto had been grateful to Chance for settling his worries earlier in the day. Unwilling to use his words, he showed how he felt with a soft kiss to his lips.

Chance's smile tugged his lips up just as Otto leaned up to kiss him, the softness sending tingles down Chance's spine, stomach fluttering pleasantly. His arms curled around Otto's neck and shoulders, holding him close, Chance letting out a soft sigh of satisfaction.
"You're welcome," he said, unwilling to let go just yet. "For stuff."
He smiled and kissed Otto again, just because he could, leaning warmly against him.
"You know, for being new to this whole...boyfriend thing..." Chance murmured. "I'm finding I like it an awful lot."

"Me too.. though I'm used to bein' the boyfriend, not havin' one." Otto murmured, enjoying the warmth and closeness. The night air felt refreshing and balmy. Not too hot, not too cold. A light breeze came over from the nearby ocean off the island's coast. If nothing else, Ocean air was at least cool even in the summer.

"You are the boyfriend, still," said Chance, pressing an idle kiss to Otto's temple. "And you have one too, and it's me."
He liked the sound of it, the way it felt; the way Otto felt, warm and snug against him, their arms curled affectionately around each other. The soft and quiet moments were still reserved for times when they were on their own, and Chance liked to bask in them.
He was quiet for a moment, lost in thought, and then said, "I had...another idea, but it's kind of silly."

"All your idea are silly." Otto murmured back, in perfect deadpan. "But go ahead. I'll listen."

"Shut up," said Chance, but it was lacking heat. He hummed for a minute, and then unwrapped an arm reluctantly from Otto's shoulders to reach into his pocket, pulling out a small bag. He started to open it and then stopped, leaning a little away from Otto so that he could see his face more clearly.
"Don't get weirded out," he said mildly, eyebrows raised a little, the phrase reminiscent of what Otto had said to him, when they had first talked about the boyfriend thing. "Okay?"
Chance reached for one of Otto's hands and turned the bag over. a set of earrings fell out, small, black stars.
"You already have a lot of me, the most significant parts," he said, a quiet smile on his face. "But this is in case you wanted something physical."

"Okay.." Otto murmured, brows furrowing. Why was he concerned? Was he pulling a wedding registry out or what? As the earrings fell into his hand, Otto's eyes widened, and a gleam radiated from him without the need to smile; it was evident in his expression as is, all by itself, that he was elated. "Dude... this is so cool." Otto murmured, turning them in his hand. "I got an idea." He handed one of the earrings back to Chance, and pocketed the other for now. Reaching up to his own ear and pushing his hair aside, he unhooked one of his own earrings. It was handed to Chance, a stud embezzled with a skull.

He wasn't necessarily anxious about offering them to Otto; if he thought it was a strange idea, Chance would have just tucked them away back into his own ears again (he'd taken them out during the time he'd gone to his room). But he'd thought it was a nice thought, a gesture that was a physical manifest of his affections towards Otto and vice versa.
The breathed out exclamation, in addition to the expression on Otto's face, said enough.
Chance took the second earring and tucked it back into the bag, pushing it into his own pocket as he gave Otto a curious look, brows drawing together. But then a, second later, realization dawned, and Chance's smile widened until it lit up his entire face. He turned the earring over in his fingers and then lifted his hands, fiddling carefully until he could push it into place and secure it.
Then he dropped his fingers, hands on Otto's shoulders, head turned a little so that Otto could see.
"What do you think?" he asked, not even bothering to hide his happiness.

Otto smirked. Chance looked so endearingly dopey with that smile. He couldn't help but smile a bit himself. As Chance moved to put the earring in, Otto put the star one in his own earlobe too. "Looks good on you." Otto complimented with an air of smug pride. It was his earring after all. "You must know someone with like.. really cool taste."

His smile turned into a smirk, Chance resuming his earlier pose of his arms around Otto's shoulders.
"I like to think of it that way," he said airily. "He's pretty cool, even if he's a little s**t sometimes. Good taste, if his boyfriend's any indication," he added, eyes twinkling with mischief. "A little surly, a little scowly. Kinda grumpy sometimes, and is absolutely full of sass, but nothing I can't handle."
Chance lowered his head and his voice, and pressed a kiss to Otto's temple.
"But in spite of that, he's got a good heart, and he's pretty hot and I like him very much."
