"When will you be back home?" Linh asked as she followed Tam towards the front door.
"I'm not sure." Tam said, grabbing his cape and shoving some shoes on.
"Do you know where Keefe's taking you?" Linh questioned, leaning against the wall as Tam checked his imparter, seeing Keefe sent him a message saying that he'd be there in a moment.
"Nope." Tam said.
"He wants to surprise me."

Tam looked at Linh as he put his imparter back into his pocket.
"I will message you when I'll come back home, okay?" Tam questioned.
"And if I don't, Keefe has murdered me."
Linh scoffed as she glared at Tam.
Tam smiled.
"I'm gonna be okay, Linh. Stop worrying." Tam said.
"It's my job to worry about you."

Linh fiddled with her hair.
"Look, just make sure Keefe treats you right." Linh said.
"Linh, I can take care of myself." Tam stated.
There was a knock on the door and Tam looked at Linh.
"I'll see you later?" Tam raised his eyebrows at Linh as he went over to the door.
"... I guess." Linh mumbled, shrugging.

Tam opened the front door and he faced Keefe as Keefe stood there with a box in his hands.
"Well good evening, my dearest Tam." Keefe grinned.
Tam raised his eyebrows.
"... I will slam the door in your face if you keep that up Sencen." Tam stated, staring at Keefe.
Keefe hummed, nodding, "I'll keep that in mind."
"Uh, any chance I could just come in and then I'll light-leap us to our little date spot after I had a moment to recover from climbing those stairs?"

Tam stepped out the way and Keefe walked in.
"Oh, hey Linh!" Keefe smiled.
"Hurt my brother and you're dead Sencen." Linh glared at the empath.
Keefe blinked, frozen for a moment.
"... Great to see you too..." Keefe said as Tam shut the door, locking it.

"What's in your hands?" Tam asked.
"A box, obviously." Keefe said, smiling at Tam.
"... Keefe." Tam glared.
"Sorry!" Keefe exclaimed.
"I made something for you again."
Keefe held the box forward for Tam to take.
"I made dark chocolate myself! I didn't even ask Biana for help this time."

Tam took the box and he delicately opened it. Tam looked inside to see small dark chocolates in the shape of hearts.
Tam felt his cheeks warm up.
"Oh, thank you." Tam said, his voice quiet.
Keefe smiled, seeing how Tam seemed pleased by his gift.
"I did have to make multiple batches though." Keefe shrugged.
"This was my third batch, and well 'third time's a charm'!"

"Oh, I'll take it and keep it safe." Linh said, going over and taking the box off of Tam.
"Hey, don't eat any of it." Tam said, looking at Linh.
"I don't like dark chocolate, you little weirdo." Linh said, looking at Tam.
"Anyways, enjoy your date!"
Linh walked off with the box of chocolates.

Tam and Keefe looked at each other.
"Where are you taking me?" Tam asked.
"Might be a little weird, but there's this cliff that has a wonderful view of the ocean and... well I only have the crystal to light-leap to this field that I usually go to so it's like a little hike."Keefe said.
Tam hummed.
" Ooo, romantic? "Tam shrugged, squinting his eyes at Keefe.
Keefe rolled his eyes.
" You're gonna love the view. "Keefe stated.
" I swear. "

Keefe then placed his hand out as he got out the crystal in his other hand.
Tam delicately took Keefe's hand and they interlocked fingers.
Keefe smiled at Tam and Tam felt himself smile as Keefe held the crystal up and they light-leapt away.

Tam looked about as the wind blew through his hair and he let go of Keefe's hand as they seemed to be in the middle of nowhere.
"Oh wow." Tam said, looking about.
Keefe looked at Tam and smiled.
"I'll take you on a picnic here one day, if you'd like." Keefe suggested.
Tam looked at Keefe.
"Well, let's see how this goes between us first, then we'll see about that picnic." Tam said.
