Third person point of view
Cecil was done making the dinner and put it on the table. Aaron has already set the cutlery. He sat down and both of them had it together. " Are you free tomorrow ? " Cecil nodded. " Then mind coming with me ? " Cecil nodded again. " What time ? " " I have something to handle in the morning. So let's go out for lunch and then I will take you there ".
Cecil nodded. " Done ". It was Saturday anyway and he didn't have anything much to do. The next morning, Aaron woke up at his usual time and left the house. Cecil woke up late and did things at his own pace. He was currently looking for something to wear. Aaron was probably in a suit. He also thought of putting on something nice.
He picked up black slacks, beige knit t-shirt and long dark brown trench coat. It was chill outside so he wouldn't mind it. He put it on and then styled his hair. He picked up his phone and wallet. He went to sit in the living room. After a few minutes, he got a message from Aaron saying he was there.
He got up and left the house. He walked and saw the car waiting on the side. He smiled and walked to it. The driver opened the door for him. He sat in and the door was closed. He noticed Aaron was looking at something in the tablet. The car drove away and Aaron put the tablet aside.
He turned to Cecil and noticed his dress. " I didn't know you knew how to dress up like this ". Cecil sneered making Aaron smile. Aaron then noticed Cecil's face and neck which were pinkish and also his fingers looked red. " Should've put on some gloves and scarf ". Aaron said taking Cecil's hands in his and rubbing them.
" It is not that bad ". Aaron shook his head. Cecil slowly moved closer and stuck to Aaron. Aaron smiled putting his hand around Cecil. They drove to a restaurant. The both of them got down and Cecil held Aaron's hand as they walked in. They went to a private room and sat down beside each other.
Aaron gave the menu to Cecil. Cecil picked a few dishes after asking what Aaron would like and something he would like as well. They had a nice lunch and walked out. They got in the car again and drove away. " So where are we going ? " " You will know when we go ". Cecil nodded. It took them a while but they finally reached.
The both of them got down and Cecil looked at the building. It was the orphanage under the Knight's trust. He turned to Aaron to speak but a scarf was put around his neck. Aaron carefully put it around Cecil's neck. Cecil smiled. Aaron was satisfied with his work. " Let's go ". Aaron walked in with Cecil by his side.
They came across a young man as they walked in. He smiled brightly and came up to them. Cecil was surprised by the smile and obviously it was for Aaron. " Hello sir ". " How are you doing ? " " I am doing good ". He smiled sweetly. " Here ". Aaron put his hand on Cecil's back pulling him closer and forward.
" This is Cecil, my husband ". The young man looked surprised. He smiled again but it was different. " Hello sir. Nice to meet you ". " Hello ". Cecil greeted with a smile. " I will be leaving sir ". Aaron nodded and he walked away. " Who is he ? " " Ashley. He also grew up here. He comes to visit from time to time ". Cecil nodded.
" Why do you remember him so well ? " Aaron smiled. " Because I was the one who brought him here ". Cecil was surprised. " It was when he was around 5 years old. I took him with me and put him in ". Cecil nodded. He looked like he was in his early 20s, which would mean it has been a few years. Cecil mentally sighed.
They went in and immediately a lady came to greet them in the lobby. " Hello sir ". Aaron smiled. " Did everything go well ? " " Yes sir ". Aaron nodded. " Please come with me ". She took them to an office room. They sat down at the table. " Everything went according to how you asked it to be sir ". Aaron nodded.
She gave a few files to Aaron. Cecil looked around the office. His eyes then landed on the lady who was speaking to Aaron. She looked like she was in her 40s. Cecil now observed and realized she was wearing a dress from his brand. He smiled and went back to observing the surroundings.
They were done there and walked out. " Can we look around ? " Cecil asked and Aaron nodded. She took them on a tour and explained a few things to Cecil. Cecil was really impressed. " Is it fine if I give some donation ? " Cecil asked looking at the lady. " That... " She glanced at Aaron from the corner of her eyes and gave a subtle nod.
She nodded. " Yes sir ". Aaron spoke up. " Just give it to me later. I will take care of it ". Cecil nodded with a smile. His phone started ringing and he took it out of his pocket. " Excuse me ". He went aside to pick it up. " Don't worry. He is family ". Aaron said and she smiled. " I am guessing he is your husband ". Aaron nodded.
" I am sorry for not being able to attend it ". Aaron shook his head. " It is fine ". She smiled and glanced at Cecil. She turned to Aaron again. " I hope you will have a long and happy life ". Aaron grinned. " Thank you ". " You can show him around. I will go back to the office. If there is anything, come look for me ". Aaron nodded.
Cecil went back and Aaron took him around a little more. He really liked how much they took care and helped all of them there. They walked more and reached the play area. Cecil smiled looking at the children running around and playing in the court. " Do you come here often ? " Aaron shook his head.
" I used to come a lot more when I was a kid. But as I grew up, it went down. And now, I come once during my birthday to look around ". Cecil nodded. He thought that maybe he can come from time to time and also bring Aaron with him. They went back to the office and informed that they would be leaving. She sent them off and they left to go home.
