Nitpicked Picnic ❤ Josh & Henry
Josh sighed into the quick kiss, his chest instantly feeling lighter due to either the kiss or the feeling of success at convincing Henry to come along. Most likely both. He grabbed the bag of food, tucking the blanket under his arm. “Something like that,” A small smile stuck to his face, “I’m allowed to romance you, aren’t I?” Almost about to leave when he was pulled back, before he could ask why he found himself leaning back into the kiss, feeling any tension leave his body as he relaxed to Henry’s touch.
Once they continued out their door, Josh ran his hand down Henry’s back, slowly before moving to interlace their fingers as the walked down the stairs and out of Illisus House. He inhaled the warm air, cleaner and fresher than the summers in Chicago, turning his head to look at Henry he subconsciously squeezed Henry’s hand. “The second courtyard. Not many people there lately,” Or ever. Josh picked it for the seclusion, with the big and new courtyard, the old one got far less attention but was still well-kept.
Josh could already see the tall oak trees and smell the somewhat untamed roses and jasmine that recently sprouted around the little fountain. Still and uninhabited, perfect for the two of them. “Over there,” He gestured to under a tree that had become surrounded with random flowers in the spring, nice and shady, and gently pulled along a following Henry to set up beneath it’s leaves.
"The second courtyard sounds splendid" Henry raised his free arm to shield his face from the sun burning down on them. A group of students were chasing each other with buckets filled with water. It seemed like the whole of Shield was outside enjoying one of these rare good days.
Henry enjoyed feeling the comforting warmth of Josh's hand around his and only let go reluctantly to help spreading the blanket on the ground. They sit down next to each other and Henry pulled the bag closer to take a look inside. He started pulling sandwiches and fruits out and placing them on the covers. "That really looks delicious" he smiled and took one slice of watermelon "I don´t remember when was the last time I ate these" he laughed and leaned closer to Josh handing him one slice too. "They are so messy" he bit in his own slice, the juice slowly dripping down his chin "not very practical" he joked before taking another bite, not caring about the fluid driping on his shirt.
Going out isn´t one of the things Henry enjoyed doing, but since he knew Josh, even before they had started dating, the other student had made him do a lot of things he wasn´t used to.
