Final Step (IgRu)

((I didn't forget about this don't worry. And ya'll better remember to support TAL on Naver to show Kang Im your love~))

Lunch was by far the best. All they did was walk around and grab things as their fancy was tickled, but it was that kind of thing Ignatio enjoyed. Maru didn't yell at him to slow down or not to wander off like his brother did; in fact he kept up with Ignatio's pace, just as excited.

After finding a stall selling gimbap, they decided to rest their feet for a bit, sitting a bench and chatting away about whatever came to mind.

It was simple and natural.

'Maybe...it wouldn't be so bad..' Ignatio grinned as he cracked a really bad joke, Maru choking a bit on his drink as he laughed. 'I think I can see myself dating Chickpea like this. We're not doing anything like Lang described, all that stuff that he said that was boring.'

He scooted a bit closer and put his arm around Maru's shoulders, the blond suddenly going still and red.

"...Is this okay?"

Maru slowly relaxed under his limb and leaned his head to Ignatio's shoulder. "I don't mind it."

"Can I stay like this?"

His hand was tugged more firmly over the other, and his fingertips brushed a warm palm. "I-If you'd like to."

"I really would." He squeezed's Maru's fingers in his own. "Are you having fun?"

A little noise, two notes, positive. "Mhm."

"I'm glad." Ignatio's grin was a bit sheepish. "I've never been on a date before. It feels like we're just on an outing without Lang." Though he knew that wasn't the case, as his twin continued to suck at hiding.

Maru chuckled, his shoulder pressed to Ignatio's in a comfortable way. "I like that. This is...Nice."

"I think so too." The green-eyed twin leaned over Maru more, resting his head on Maru's. "...I wouldn't mind this more often."

He felt Maru stiffen.

"...Can I take you on another date, Chickpea?" Ignatio moved even closer, his arm looping around Maru's waist to hug him.

A quiet moment's pause. "...I'd love that." Maru's face had gone beautifully beet red, and Ignatio couldn't help moving involuntarily to kiss Maru on the cheek.

When the younger male promptly exploded in red and fell over, causing Ignatio to flail with worry, Mu Young sighed from their hiding spot in a nearby shop, Jin checking out a large foreign cookbook. "I guess those two will be fine."

"Great, can we go home now?" Baek-Jeong asked flatly.
