//------------------------------// // A Beautiful Sunset Accompanying A Date Down To The Science // Story: Sci Twi’s Everlasting Sunlight // by Chrysalesbian //------------------------------// “SUNSET! SUNSET!” I shouted, trying to get my phone back from her hands. ‘DON’T LOOK IN THERE!” “What’s wrong Twi? It’s just my girlfriend’s phone.” “YES, AND YOUR GIRLFRIEND HAS A LOT OF SECRETS ON SAID PHONE!” “You got a little diary?” I stopped. “Actually, I don’t have a diary, Sunset.” “Oh really.” I nodded profusely. “Then why do you care so much if I look through your phone huh?” I paused. "JUST GIMME THE PHONE BACK!” I tried to snatch the phone, but she held it above my head. “Wow look, a notes app, you got nothin’ here right Twi?” “I DON’T!” She started looking through it I presume; it was so stupid of me to use it as a digital diary. “Wow.” My cheeks turned red. “You write about me a lot huh.” I stopped trying to snatch my phone back out of sheer embarrassment. “So what!?” “Nothings wrong with that! I find it adorable how you think of me that much.” My cheeks heated up like the inside of an oven. “Shut up!” I was about to storm off but then I felt a tight grip around my torso. “What’s there to be ashamed about Twi?” “EVERYTHING! NOW LET ME GO!!!” Her grip tightened around me. “Why should I Twi?” “BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO!” “Kay then.” She let me go and air whooshed by my face until it all stopped, SUNSET STARTED CARRYING ME!? “You should watch out Twi, your face nearly got scraped off.” My face got all red, “I-I would’ve been completely fine!” “Sure.” “Where are you taking me!” “Hm, I donno, how about we go on a little walk Twi? “St-Stop!” “No thanks.” She gave me a cheeky smirk, making my face look like a tomato at this point. She stopped by an ice cream shop and put me down, she held onto my hand and walked in with me. “What do you wanna order Twi?” “Well, I’d like a strawberry, thank you!” “No needa.” She walked up to the cashier and- WAIT DID SHE JUST CARRY ME HERE AND ORDER ME AN ICE CREAM!? I stood there, pouting after my realization. She walked up to me and paused, “Why the look Twi?” “CAUSE YOU’RE EMBARASSING ME!” “How am I doing that?” "I-I-I DON’T KNOW! YOU JUST ARE!” “Alright, here’s your ice cream.” She handed it to me and started licking her own. “Thanks, Sunse- STOP TRYING TO DISTRACT ME!” “Distract you from what?” I paused again and my face heated up drastically. “You should eat your ice cream, you’re lookin’ really hot.” My face heated up more. “WHAT!?” “Your face looks warm.” “Sh-Shutup!” “Ya don’t gotta be so rude about it Twi, but then again it does make you look cute.” She walked out of the shop, “HOLD ON SUNSET!!! WHERE ARE YOU GOING!?” I ran out the door, trying to catch up with her. “You gotta eat your ice cream, you’re heating up really bad.” “FINE!” I started licking my ice cream, following her. She grabbed onto my hand again. “How about we make a stop by the park?” This seems a little familiar, but I just can’t put my finger on it. I followed her regardless. We walked for a while. "Uh, Sunset?” “Yeah?” “We missed the park a while ago.” “Oh, I know.” “What!?” “I knew that a while ago.” “And you didn’t say anything!?” “You looked cute walking while eating your ice cream, couldn’t interrupt that.” After attempting to cool down my face got red hot again. “YOU MEAN WE’VE BEEN WALKING THE ENTIRE TIME JUST BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT I WAS CUTE?” She stopped walking for a bit, looking down at me. “I guess so.” She started walking across the street. “WAIT UP SUNSET!” I ran after her, and a park was right there, she walked towards a gazebo and sat in it, I sat next to her. “You haven’t finished your ice cream yet?” “S-So!?” “Nothin.” I stared at her, she seemed so calm and collected while making me look like an absolute mess. Its like she’s an expert at this, she suddenly brought me closer and put her arm around me. “I am.” “WHAT!? D-Did you jus- YOU JUST READ MY MIND!” "You’ve been staring at me for a while Twi, and I know you really well. It’s easy to assume." She got up from her seat and started walking again. “Hold up!!!” I got up and caught up to her. “Why don’t you ever tell me when you’re gonna take me somewhere?” “Cause, you look cute when you try catching up.” “STOP CALLING ME CUTE!” She looked at me again. “Well, you are and I don’t wanna lie.” She started walking somewhere again. “Where are we going this time?” “Surprise.” We walked for another long while, until a big theater was in front of us. “Here we are.” She walked me in and showed the clerk two tickets on her phone. “Sunset!? You pl-“ “Shh, the movies about to start.” She covered my lips with her finger and took me to the room, it was rather empty. I was kind of excited until I realized, this was a horror movie. “SUNSET? YOU TOOK ME TO A HORROR MOV-“ “The Movie is about to start Twi!” To my dismay, the movie started, I was already shivering throughout the movie until the first jumpscare happened. I grabbed onto Sunset as soon as it did. “It wasn’t that scary Twi.” “Sh-Shutup! I wasn’t scared! I just really wanted to hold you!” “Sure.” I held onto sunset throughout the movie, until it ended. We walked out the room, “It really wasn’t that scary Twi.” “I WASN’T SCARED!” “Oh really.” She grabbed onto my shoulders suddenly and I jumped a little. “ST-STOP!” She grabbed onto my hand again and took me outside the theater. “Come on, I have one last place to take you Twi.” “L-Last?” The day with her was ending, I didn’t even pay attention to the time, she was teasing me all of it, I was paying attention to her. “Come on Twi, it’s probably not all that special though.” She strolled next to me, walking me somewhere. “Why did you do this?” “Our first date had to be special Twi, I can’t disappoint you.” “D-Disappoint me?” “I didn’t wanna let you down.” “You can’t let me down Sunset, you’re amazing and I adore you.” She stopped and looked down. “Wh-What’s wrong?” “N-Nothin’.” She kept walking, gripping my hand tighter. Until I saw a beach, we walked towards it and she stopped at the top of the hill leading to the sandy beach below. She stood in front of me and held both of my hands. “I’m gonna be honest Twi, I didn’t plan out this date like you thought I did. I never planned it out.” “This was all off the cuff?” “No, it wasn’t.” “Then who planned this?” “You did Twi.” The sun was setting behind her beautiful face. The light peeking out from behind her hair. “What?” “When we got together Twi, you bombarded me with ideas for dates, I did all of them today, going to get ice cream, going to the park, going to the movies, and going to the movie theater.” I saw her blush for the first time today. “I wanted to make our first date special, I didn’t want to disappoint you.” “Sunset, I said this, you can’t possibly disappoint me.” She hugged me, crying into my shoulder. “I know that now Twilight. Thank you.”
