*In Part One*
I can't lose him-... I won't. I lift my head and look up at him, I moved our position so that our faces were centimeters apart. In a moment of courage and adrenaline I closed the gap between us and hoped for the best.

Ethan's hands were gently cupping Mark's face when to Ethan's surprise he felt Mark kiss back. It was a lot softer than he imagined and he swore he would never forget the very moment, even if Mark rejected him. The smaller felt Mark deepen the kiss and Mark's hands come around to his back. (I struggle with fluff so this is why I don't write smut XD) The two pulled apart with a deep red blush prominent on both faces. Ethan looked away from Mark afraid to meet the other's gaze.
Mark let a small smile tug at the corners of his mouth as he slowly lifted Ethan's face to look at him. He gave him a quick but sweet kiss to reassure the obviously anxious boy. At first Ethan thought he was doing it for pity but he soon realized that wasn't the case. Mark gave Ethan a hug and took his hands into his own. "Is this why you were so upset Ee?" He watched as the other's eyes drifted away from him, as if to signal an answer. He gave a nod in understanding and a thought crossed his mind.
"How about we worry about filming later cause I think now would be a great time to get something to eat, okay?" He said the last part in a much softer tone wanting to comfort him and let him know it was going to be okay. He received a small nod and after asking what he wanted to eat, he went with that and they both got ready to go. For Ethan this was a dream come true, Mark kissed him back and now the two of them are gonna go eat. He was ecstatic at the fact that everything went so well, he could barely contain himself.
Ethan was first to be ready so he sat on the sofa and waited for Mark. Amy was informed they were leaving and she decided to go home until they were ready to film. As Mark came from his room a pretty pink was spread over Ethan's face. "Ready to go?" He said with the same sweet tone as earlier. He got a soft 'mhm' as Ethan stood up, he had been awfully quiet and Mark took notice. He didn't ask him about it but instead he subtly tried to get simple responses from him. Mark held one of his hands till they had to get in the car, the ride there was filled with a light conversation that both of them found quite pleasant.
//Ethan's POV//
When we arrived, I couldn't help but marveled at the sight, it was a small, cute diner with a local look to it. Walking in I was filled with awe at the homey feeling and warm scent of apple cinnamon. Once we were seated Mark and I had time to look at the menu and decide what we wanted, but honestly everything looked absolutely amazing. We ordered our drinks and food by the time the waiter left and I took a chance to admire my surroundings. There were a few small paintings scattered on the walls and a hard wood floor that really matched the tan colored paint. Even when I was looking around my mind was brought back to Mark, it happens every time.
I looked up at him to see him spaced out, I couldn't help but appreciate the way the lighting accented his best facial features like how his jaw-line looked flawless under it. He had a serious look on his face that worried me, it looked like he was contemplating something important, I wonder what it is. The food comes shortly after and we eat making small conversation, me ending up with flushed cheeks and a flustered expression quite a few times. We've been talking for a while and enjoying our food but it still looked like there was something else on his mind.
Once we left the diner we went for a small drive, I gazed at the beautiful scenery from the window. Mark wouldn't tell me where we were going though I tried pestering him for the answer. I gave a small, playful pout and crossed my arms, "Fineee" I said dragging out the end. "Don't tell me, I didn't want to know anyway." I said with a smug look, and looked over to see the most beautiful smile on his face. It was clear he was holding back a laugh and I couldn't help but grin as well, his happiness was contagious. We pulled into a small parking lot surrounded by hundreds of trees and a few different trails leading off in other directions.
He opened the car door for me and held out his hand for me to take, which I did with the faintest blush creeping up my cheeks. "Where are we going?" I said as he lead me down a dirt path that separated the trees, still holding onto his hand. In my defense it was really comforting and made me feel closer to him. "If I tell you it won't be a surprise now would it?" He said looking back at me with a sweet smile that made my heart ache. When we neared the end of the trail Mark told me to close my eyes which I did reluctantly, he held me closely and took me to god knows where.
We stopped walking and he stood in front of me, "Okay, open your eyes." I did as told and the sight before me was breathtaking. There was a lake a little ways before us and the way the sunset was shining off of it, reflecting the nature around us filled me with overwhelming joy. I couldn't believe Mark would kiss me, take me out to eat, and then to a place as stunning as this. Tears began welling in my eyes as I hugged the man in front of me like my life depended on it, I was so grateful for everything he has done for me and I didn't know how to express it. Once we broke apart the embrace Mark was standing a few feet in front of me and started to look down in worry.
//No ones POV//
"Hey Ethan.. I've been meaning to ask you something?" Mark said playing with his fingers, not moving his gaze from the ground. Ethan looked up at Mark with a thousand thoughts running by him. "I- umm I was wondering if you'd be my... boyfriend?" He said with his tone developing into a whisper at the last bit. Ethan stood with shook embedded in his face but it soon melted into an endearing one as he looked over to the other. He got closer to Mark and gave him a kiss on the forehead as an affirmation before he started to reply. "I'd love too, you don't know how happy I am right now!" He said cupping Mark's face redirecting it this time for his lips and gave him a kiss, feeling the tears run down his face.
Mark kissed back and pulled away seeing a huge smile plastered on Ethan's face. He wiped away the boys tears and enjoyed the nature around them for a few hours longer. They never wanted this moment to end fearing it was too good to me true and just sat in each other's presence.
