“That’s what you get for eating the entire thing in one bite, genius,” Barry laughed. “I told you it was cold!”
Glossy Aviators perched on the bridge of Xanathen’s nose, reflecting the intense sunlight. The ridges of his muscles peeked through his soft cotton t-shirt and jeans. The two blended into the crowds around them as they strolled along the shoreline of the busy beach, navigating through the people while still holding hands.
“I have to say, you were right. This world of yours is inspiring!” Xanathen continued proudly, his golden eyes behind the shades taking in everything around him with vigor and excitement. “I want to experience it all! What are we waiting for?”

Barry’s heart fluttered nervously as he looked at all the eyes around them, then beat harder as he laid his eyes on Xanathen.

As their lips parted, the world continued to turn and the people went on with their lives as they always did. His beating heart slowed as he watched the flood of life go on around them, never stopping for a moment to really observe their love. As far as anyone was concerned, they were just part of the crowd like everyone else.
Barry laid his head against Xanathen’s broad shoulder and smiled contently as he snaked his arm around the big man’s waist, aimlessly leading them further down the shore, “Don’t worry. We’ve got the rest of our lives for that.”
