"Alright first we need to get you to stand up" Bryant said holding out his hands to Chai, Chai took them as his own hands were shaking
"Chai its ok it's not going to hurt" Bryant reassured him
"O-Okay" Chai nodded
"Follow my lead" Bryant said, Chai held onto Bryant's hands tightly as Bryant slowly stood up
"Whoa, whoa" Chai said as he stood on his two wobbly legs
"Good job! Now put a foot forwards" Bry said, Chai nodded biting his lip in concentration. He slowly put his foot forwards
"Perfect! Now the other one" Bry smiled, Chai put his other foot forwards and slowly started walking still holding on to Bryant's hands with a death grip
"You're doing awesome! I'm going to let go now" Bryant said and Chai's eyes went wide
"No!" Chai exclaimed, Bryant let go of Chai's hands and Chai started hyperventilating and closed his eyes
"Chai its ok look!" Bryant said with a smile, Chai opened one eye and saw he was standing on his own
"Ok you're doing great now take a step forward" Bryant encouraged him, Chai nodded nervously and took a shaky step forwards and smiled when he saw he was walking slowly
"Good job!" Bryant smiled proud of him
"I'm doing it!" Chai exclaimed, suddenly he lost his balance and fell forwards but Bryant caught him before he fell on the floor
"I did it!" Chai exclaimed in happiness
"I'm so proud of you" Bryant smiled at him
"My legs are tired though..." Chai mumbled
"Yeah because you've never used them before" Bryant smirked, Chai studied Bryant's face with a smile
"You've got really nice eyes..." Chai smiled at Bryant
"Pft shut up" Bryant rolled his eyes, Chai leaned forward and kissed Bryant lightly making Bryant smile
"Chai do you want to maybe... go on a date?" Bryant asked
"What's a date?" Chai asked
"A date is when two people go out to a restaurant or something so they can get to know each other better" Bryant answered leading Chai over to the couch so they could both sit down
"Ok but... I've never eaten any human food before" Chai shrugged
"Well maybe we can go out and you can try some different foods?" Bryant suggested
"Yes! Can we go now!" Chai said excitedly making Bryant laugh since he sounded like an excited toddler
"Alright, we can go now" Bryant shrugged standing up with Chai still holding tightly onto his arm still not used to walking. The two of the walked out of the room and outside, Chai squinted as he hadn't seen the sun in ages
"Where are we going to eat?" Chai asked
"Don't know, you can chose whilst we're walking down the street" Bryant replied as they walked out of the backyard. They slowly made their way down the street, Chai looking around wide eyed like a toddler at Disney Land
"Whoaaa...." Chai said looking around
"What?" Bryant asked with a smirk
"I've never seen so many land people and different things before" Chai replied stumbling a little
"Well this is just the small part of town" Bryant replied and Chai's eyes brightened
"Can we go in there?" Chai asked pointing to a smoothie bar
"Sure" Bryant smiled, he led Chai into the smoothie bar and they sat down in a booth.
"It's so colorful" Chai smiled showing off his dimples that Bryant found adorable
"I know, do you know what you want to drink?" Bryant asked Chai
"I have no idea what any of this stuff is" Chai shook his head looking around
"Well I'll choose something for you and see if you like it" Bryant suggested, whilst Bryant was looking through the menu he heard a familiar voice
"Bry?" Bryant looked up and saw Jamie walking over
"Hey Jamie what are you doing here?" Bryant asked
"Just waiting for Jessica, who's this?" Jamie asked pointing to Chai, Bryant felt Chai tense up a little beside him
"This is Chai my boyfriend you walked in on him having a bath remember?" Bryant smirked not wanting Jamie to live that down
"O-Oh right... sorry about that" Jamie said sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck
"It's ok..." Chai replied quitely
"Sorry he's pretty shy" Bryant smiled putting his arm around Chai
"That's ok, I'll leave you two alone" Jamie said walking away
"Here is your smoothies" The waiter said walking over placing the smoothies down
"Thank you" Bryant smiled, Chai looked at the smoothie with wide eyes
"Whoa..." Chai said quitely
"Try it" Bryant said pushing the smoothie closer to Chai, Chai took the straw in his mouth and tried it in silence
"Well?" Bryant asked hoping he liked it
"IT'S AMAZING" Chai said loudly making Bryant laugh
"I thought you'd like it" Bryant smiled at him
Sorry it's a little short but I think it's kinda cute
