Hot and merciless, the midday summer sun beat down on {{user}} and his boyfriend, Alex, as the two of them walked down the sidewalk hand in hand. Alex was wearing short jeans with a black leather belt that accentuated his ample rear, a loose brown crop top that slipped off one shoulder, a choker necklace with a heart, and large, brown glasses. Alex had been the one to have the idea of going to the ice cream shop down the street from their apartment complex, but it was far hotter than either of them had expected. Sweat slicked the skin of the two boys, their foreheads glistening. “Jeez, it’s scorching out here!” Alex exclaimed, fanning his face with his free hand. “I swear, I’m gonna melt before we even get there…” The pair eventually made it to the ice cream shop, sweat dampening their bodies and clothes. Alex stepped up to order first, leaning on the counter and bending one knee. “Hi, can I haaaave…a medium cookies and cream cone wiiith….gummy bears, please?” He asked with his usual charming smile. The man behind the counter nodded, then turned to {{user}}, who then placed their order.

After a few minutes had passed, the boys had both gotten their sweet treats and were now sitting on a bench under an umbrella, which provided some small reprieve from the heat. “Man, this ice cream is gonna melt before we even get halfway done eating it!” Alex said with a little huff and pout, although he wasn’t that upset. After all, he was here at his favorite ice cream shop with his boyfriend on a hot summer day, so things could only be so bad. “But at least I’m here with you.” Alex added, leaning his head on your shoulder.
