We were walking down the street to the arcade. Artello's walking pace is pretty fast in front of us while me and Auris we're walking at the same pace. I remained quiet while walking since Auris is walking beside me and I'm still getting embarrassed. Suddenly, Artello saw a hotdog cart and stopped to buy.

"Hang on guys, I'll just buy a hotdog. I'm getting a little hungry."
"Yeah, we'll wait for you."

Artello is standing in front of the cart while I stood on the other side of the street. I'm trying not to look at Auris, but out of nowhere, Auris tapped my shoulder and asked me something.

Au: "Hey, would you want a hotdog?"
W: "No, thanks. I'm goo-"
A: "Hey Auris, can you treat Walter today? I ran short of money, he'll pay you back tomorrow."
W: "What the-"
Au: "Well? Its okay, you don't have to pay me back."
W: *blush* "O-okay."
Au: "Great, then. Would you want mustard or ketchup?"
W: "Just ketchup is fine."

Auris walked towards the cart and bought the hotdogs. I suddenly got the urge to stare at him as he stood. His physique is standard, yet so hot. He's not as muscular as the other athletes, but his shape looks pretty sexy. I don't know where or why I even started to like those, but turns out, I do like it a lot. His arms are pretty thick, I wanna cling to them. His back is pretty wide, I want to press my face, if not my body, against it. From the moment I saw him earlier, I didn't understood much yet. But now, looking at him properly, hanging out with him, seeing his personality, I know to myself now that I wanted him to be mine.

Minutes later, Auris started walking towards me. He was offering me a hotdog, it feels kinda romantic. But behind him, Artello's face stuffed with food ruined the mood.

Au: "Here's your hotdog. I don't know what you preferred, but I got you the standard one."
W: "No, its okay. Thanks for treating me."
A: *chewing food* "He even treated me another hotdog. Thanks Auris."
Au: "No problem guys."
A: "Well then, *swallows food* let's go to the arcade. We're nearly there."
W: "Yeah, let's go."

Artello threw his food's wrapper and started walking, while we followed behind him. As we walked, I can't help but steal glances from Auris' mouth while eating his food.
("...I wish he can eat me like that.")
...
("No, stop. What the hell? He was kind to me, I shouldn't have lewd thoughts of him.")
I retracted my vision and focused instead on eating my food.

After passing a couple blocks, we finally reached the arcade. Artello immediately walked towards the counter and exchanged for tokens. Artello handed me and Auris a couple of tokens and walked off to play.

"Well, what game should we play?"
"We? U-umm....I don't know, what do you want to play?"
"Well, I guess we can do the basketball one."
"Alright, let's do that."

We walked towards the machine, I let Auris put a token in and letting him play first. He stopped for a moment and looked at me.

"What's the matter? Aren't you gonne play?"
"No, its okay. You can go first."
"Well, we can do 'two players', if you'd like."
"S-so...we'll play t..together?"
"Yeah, why not?"
"O..okay, if that's what you want."

I stood next to him and the game started. He immediately grabbed a ball and threw some shots. I was amazed at how good he is, he barely misses while going at a continuous pace. I stared at him for a short while, but then I remembered that I'm playing with him. I followed his lead and threw some shots as well, of course some of them missed since I don't play basketball much. But every time he bumps my arm, I can't help but stop to feel his arm back. I'm going at a slower pace than him, but I'm enjoying it. After a few minutes, the game finally finished. I got a little tired, but I had fun.

"Phew, that was a good workout. I had fun. What should we do next?"
"Oh, uh...how about those car ones?"
"Well, I don't know much about driving."
"D-don't worry, I'll t-teach you. Let's go there."

We walked towards the racing games. Auris took a seat while I stood next to him, showing him how to play.

"The steering wheel is pretty straightforward, that one is the gas, and the other is the brake when you need to slow down or stop. You'll get it as you go."
"Oh, okay. I'll put in a token now."

I went to my station and started the game. Somehow, I'm pretty excited about this. I haven't been in an arcade for a long time, its nice to do these again. I told him to enter with me at the same time so that we'll race each other. The game started, he panicked at first, which is cute, but he eventually managed to control it properly. After a few laps, I finally won and the game ended.

"That was pretty hard. *laughs* What else should we try?"
"Well, whatever's fine. Its up to you."
"Okay, let's try looking around."

We walked around the arcade and tried different games with our remaining tokens.

Its been almost an hour, we ran out of tokens and decided to walk outside the arcade while waiting for Artello.

"I didn't know arcades can be fun, I enjoyed myself."
"Well, I'm glad you had fun. Its an arcade, anyway."
"Good thing I went with you guys. I have nothing to do anyways except to go home."
"I see. *glances inside* Where's Art anyway? He's taking so long."
"Oh, I saw him finish a game, then suddenly walked to the counter. I think he's still counting the tickets."

The next minute, Artello finally walked out holding a big, stuffed bear. It almost covers his entire face and upper body.

W: "Well, well. Gotta hand you the determination to save your tickets for that."
Au: "Whoa, that's pretty big. How many tickets is that worth?"
A: "Oh, this thing? I accumulated over 2 thousand tickets for this."
Au: "Wow, that probably took you a week."
A: "Pretty much, yeah."
W: "Ah, so that's why you always go here since last week."
A: "Yeah, its for my girlfriend's birthday this weekend."
W: "Oh, right, I almost forgot. Greet her for me."
A: "Why, aren't you coming?"
W: "Nah, I'll stay home."
A: "Okay, then. Thanks for joining me tonight, I'll go home now."
W: "Yeah, me too. You know the way to the bus stop, right Auris?"
Au: "Yeah, don't worry. I'll be fine. Thanks for letting me come along."

I separated from them on the arcade and went home. I was smiling while walking, and I don't know why. But one thing's for sure, this is definitely one of the best days of my life, and I had fun with him.
