Chapter 22 - Date on Earth II

Damien stalked towards his mate, his eyes still roaming around his mate's body. He then held his mate by his hips when he got close enough.

"You smell so good" Damien hummed as he buried his face into his mate's hair.

"T-thank you" River almost cursed himself for stuttering.

"My pleasure" Damien murmured as he leaned his face closer to his mates and softly brushed his lips against his mate's soft pink ones.

"Are you ready?" Damien smoothly asked, straightening up.

"Y-yes" River swallowed when he saw the hungry look in his mate's eyes.

"You are making things hard, River" Damien muttered, leaning down to place a wet kiss on his mate's forehead.

"Shall we?" Damien straightened up, acting like he didn't just almost make River's heart melt to nothing.

River could not find it in himself to speak, so he could only simply nod.

"Okay then, mate," Damien said as he clasped River's small hand into his larger one.

"Let's get going," Damien said as he tugged his mate out of his room.

"Are you okay?" Damien asked his mate, concerned. They just got to Earth through the mirror portal from hell.

"Just a bit dizzy, but it's nothing I can't handle," River said with an excited smile grazing his lips, looking around with awe in his eyes.

It was already dark outside, only a few people were roaming the streets. He was awed by the lights from different shops around them.

"Are you sure? We can-" Damien was cut off by his mate.

"I'm fine, Damien. I promise" River said, looking his mate in the eye to make his mate believe that he was indeed alright.

"Okay. Come here" Damien breathed out as River welcomed the embrace of his mate, basking in its warmth as Damien placed a kiss on top of his mate's platinum fluff.

"Let's get going" Damien wrapped his arms around his mate's petite frame as they ventured into the city of San Francisco.

"What is this place?" River asked as he looked around to see hundreds of people moving excitedly and noisily around the place. Is this where all the people in America came to? Is that why the streets are so empty?

"This is called an amusement Park, Ruby. Humans come here to have fun with family, friends, and loved ones" Damien explained making his mate turn a deep shade of red.

"Oh, I have never been to one" River awed as he looked around with childlike wonder in his eyes.

"Let's go see what's going on inside" Damien placed his hand on the small of his mate's back, urging him to step forward from the amusement park's gates.

"What do humans do in an amusement park?" River asked his mate, looking up at his mate with cute, adorable puppy eyes.

"They play different games, win prizes, go on rides, buy sweets and diabetic snacks. In short, they have fun here from what I heard" Damien briefly narrated.

"Then, let's have some fun!" River excitedly said as he looked up at his mate with bright eyes.

"Let's have fun" Damien repeated, smiling genuinely at his mate.

"Wow," River awed at the sight before him, his eyes sparkling at the different lights emanating from different stands and joints in the amusement park.

"Slow down" Damien chuckled at his mate's childlike excitement.

"Ok. Look!" River's eyes shone when his eyes landed on a particular stall.

"Wha-" Damien couldn't complete his sentence because River had already broken out in a run.

"Riv wait up!" Damien called out to his mate.

"Come! Come!" River urged his mate.

"Wha- huh?" Damien was dumbfounded when he saw the stall his mate brought him to.

"Please~~" River pleaded with those huge puppy eyes of his.

"Which one?" Damien asked, rolling his eyes.

"The big panda!!" River cheered childishly.

"Ok," Damien replied as he turned to face the stall owner.

"How much?" He asked in a monotonous voice.

"Sorry sir, but it's not for sale. You have to pop the balloons with darts; you will pay for the darts though" The vendor said with a kind smile on his wrinkled face.

Damien was about to 'bribe' the stall owner, but he saw his mate's eyes full of anticipation and he wouldn't kill that excitement for the world; he sighed and took out a handful of cash from his pocket and placed it on top of the man's counter.

"Give me the darts" Damien dryly said, causing River to squeal. Damien glanced at his mate and was satisfied by the beyond-happy expression on River's face.

The vendor picked up the cash and stuffed everything into his pocket, making Damien scoff at the man's gluttonous attitude.

"Here," The vendor said, placing five darts into Damien's palm.

Damien's eyes glanced from the five darts and then to the balloons that probably had colorful inks in them; he took a more comfortable stance and threw a dart. Each balloon popped, revealing the beautiful colors in them. River squealed happily as he hugged his mate tightly.

"You did it!" River squealed happily, glancing up to look at his mate who had a proud smile on his face.

"I did" Damien proudly smirked.

"Awww" River awed with sparkling eyes when he had the big cute stuffed panda in his arms.

"It's so soft and squishy and cute!" River gushed, looking up at his mate with happy eyes.

"Come here, let's go check out the other things" Damien stretched out his arms and River gladly entered his mate's arms, Damien wrapped his arms around his mate's shoulder as River continued gushing at his prize.

"Thank you! I love it!" River looked up at his mate with a broad smile which in turn made Damien offer his mate a small genuine smile. Damien placed a small kiss on his mate's cute button nose as he nudged his red-faced mate to another stall.

River stood on his toes as he tried to look at what the man behind the counter was making.
