Parade of Hearts

The days turned into weeks, and Asher and Elijah's relationship continued to blossom. They spent their days exploring the town, holding hands, and laughing together.

One sunny afternoon, as they were strolling through the town's quaint streets, Elijah turned to Asher with a mischievous glint in his eye.

"Want to do something fun?" he asked, tugging Asher down a narrow alleyway.

Asher dirty mind activated immediately. He started thinking of some things that he should no think maybe not yet but he couldn't control his thoughts. As he was fighting his silent war. Elijah finally said" Let's go to Oakwood's Annual pride parade ". And after feeling a little sad my train of thoughts finally came to an end.

At the end of the alley, they came to a small, colorful float, adorned with streamers and balloons. A sign on the side of the float read "Oakwood's Annual Pride Parade."

Asher's eyes widened in surprise. "You're participating in the Pride parade?"

Elijah grinned. "I'm not just participating – I'm leading the whole thing."

Asher's heart swelled with pride. "That's amazing."

Elijah's face turned serious. "I want you to ride on the float with me."

Asher's heart skipped a beat. "Really?"

Elijah nodded. "Really."

The day of the parade arrived, and Asher was a nervous wreck. He had never been in a parade before, and the thought of riding on a float in front of the whole town made his stomach twist with anxiety.

But as he looked at Elijah, who was beaming with pride in his bright rainbow-colored shirt, Asher's nerves began to settle.

Together, they climbed onto the float, which was decorated with colorful streamers and balloons. As the parade began, Asher felt a sense of joy and freedom that he had never experienced before.

They rode on the float, waving to the crowds and blowing kisses. Asher felt like he was on top of the world.

As the parade came to an end, Elijah turned to Asher and smiled. "That was amazing."

Asher grinned widely . "Definitely a night to remember."

Elijah's eyes sparkled with mischief. "I have a feeling this is just the beginning of an amazing adventure."

And with that, he leaned in and kissed Asher softly on the lips. He felt like thousands of fireworks were exploding in his stomach. He never understood the meaning of feeling butterflies in stomach but when he kissed at that time he was really feeling all of that. But Unfortunately it was a short kiss and when Elijah lips parted from him, he couldn't help but miss the warmth of his lips.

Elijah look at Asher eyes smiled at him and all it take was a smile to melt Asher in a fucking water pool.

The crowd around them cheered, and Asher felt his heart soar.

He knew in that moment that he was exactly where he was meant to be – with Elijah, in the midst of a vibrant and loving community.

As they stepped off the float, hand in hand, Asher felt a sense of pride and belonging that he had never felt before.

He knew that this was just the beginning of an amazing journey, one that he would embark on with Elijah by his side.
