table for 6

You looked at Ash's excited face repeated on the rest of the feminized boys' faces looking to the guys like yourself. It's something you've felt before when you double-dated before with your friend Alec and his girlfriend back home. Something the other guys must have understood as well because the next thing you knew you were seated in a large corner booth big enough to fit everyone.

You were unsure how to act and wondered if the other two guys were gay, a frightening thought struck you as you realized they probably wondered the same thing about you. You didn't have a problem with gay people...to you, it was like people who like sushi. Why would they like something like that when a pizza was better? You didn't hate sushi eaters. You just didn't like sushi.

Ash wrapped his arm around yours using it as a pillow and you realized you hadn't ordered food. "If I get the surf and surf plate do you wanna split it with me?"

You stare at the unread menu, "I don't like sushi."

"What? How can you not like sushi?" Ash pulled away looking at you with shock.

"I just never had a taste for it." You continued to look at the menu pretending to read.

"Have you ever tried it?"

"No."

"Will you try it for me?"

"...No."

He was silent for a moment which you knew was bad if you made him cry over sushi-"How bout this. I'll get the plate and you get what you want but you have to try a bite."

"Why would I do that?" Shit, you looked at him. His beautiful face looked as though he had been doing makeup at an expert level for years.

"Because I'm asking." He smiled. "Just one tiny bite? For me?" He looked like a dog begging for a head rub. He was a goddess.

"...Fine. Just one bite." Ash squealed happily throwing his arms around you. "It's just sushi.'

"I know but it's not."

"I don't-" Ci-click.

"Ash! You two are like so cute together!" The blonde boy gushed holding his phone snapping a second picture. "Here, see." He turned the phone around showing the photo. You had to admit, the two of you did look good together. Ash clinging to your neck and his beautiful smile.

"O.M.G! You have to send that to me." Ash giggled handing the phone back. Part of you wanted to ask for the photo as well but seeing the looks on the other two guys faces made you think better of it. A quick ping later and he now had the same photo on his phone. "Look! It's our very first picture together!"

"I guess it is."

"Here." He took your phone off the table where you had left it punched in some numbers and a few seconds later his phone pinged again. "Aaaand done." Your phone pinged and now you had the coveted first photo. You held back a smile as you looked at the picture.

Later, after placing your orders, Ash busied himself with filters and posting the photo to every bit of social media he could while you waited for your order. Whenever you would glimpse over to his phone the picture seemed to have another heart You spent time talking with the others, Wayne was one of the regular guys like yourself who was studying to be a lawyer like his dad. Darren was on the football team and he was hoping to be drafted early but he was majoring in communications nonetheless.

The two feminized boys were Aaron and Jamie. Aaron was studying fashion and Jamie was in theatre hoping to become a star. Ash, of course, was studying to be a teacher like his mother. When they asked your major you came up short. You had yet to declare a major and didn't want to jump the gun.

Finally, the food arrived. Ash was the only one who had any sushi. Aaron had a piece of fish and Jamie had a Ceaser salad. Darren had a burger and Wayne had filet mignon. Your plate of fettucini alfredo was delicious but of course you always loved a good bowl of fettucini alfredo. A piece of red uncooked fish came into your field of view at the end of Ash's fork.

Seeing your clearly disgusted face he pleaded, "You promised." Seeing his puppy dog face you had **** but to open your mouth and take the plunge. As it settled in your mouth you quickly chewed waiting for the moment you'd have to keep yourself from spitting it back out in disgust. That moment never came as you adjusted to the taste on your tongue. "Well?"

"It's actually not bad."

Ash smiled excitedly, "See! Aren't you glad you tried it?"

You nod when Ash suddenly kissed your chin softly. Even so, you didn't push him away. "Ash!"

"Sorry, you had some alfredo sauce on your chin. I love fettucini alfredo."

You smiled, "So do I. Here." You twisted your fork twisting the pasta around and holding out a fork full for him to have. He gladly accepted moaning in pleasure as he savored the flavor.

It was then you remembered you were not alone and Jamie once again had his phone out taking pictures of the two of you. "So cute!"

You cleared your throat and turned back to your own bowl. "Thanks for the fish." Ash glared at Jamie.

The rest of the dinner went pretty normal for what is now so quickly your new normal. Aaron and Jamie talked about the cute clothes they saw today when their guys took them to the mall too. You focused on your bowl of pasta.

After the meal, the group went to their respective cars with promises to do this again sometime and driving home. You drove in even more silence now that Aaron and Jamie were no longer there to fill the void. You knew why Ash was pouting beside you. "What?" You finally asked when you parked in the parking lot in front of your dorm building.

"I just-Nothing. It's been a stressful couple of days with the move and all."

He held his phone in his staring at the picture of you feeding him happily. He sighed before deleting the picture. For some reason, you felt...hurt.

"Why did you delete it?"

He turned to you surprised. "You didn't like it."

"I...I did. I just...I never liked people taking pictures of me really. I always look like an idiot."

"No! You looked amazing sweetie." Ash placed a hand on your arms lovingly, "Very handsome and totally not an idiot." You blushed.

"Ash..." You sighed, "We should go to bed."

Several hours later you were laying alone in bed when you were awakened out of a sound sleep by a loud thud.
