"In Your Arms, I Forget Every Fear"
The morning air carried the echo of two hearts beating as one,
and within that quietness, Ramish could feel Richer leaning closer to him.
In Richer's heart, a flame of love burned for Ramish,
and the way he cared for him
filled Ramish's face with a soft glow of happiness.
The manager slightly adjusted the front mirror toward Ramish and said with a smile,
"Sir, you look very handsome even today…
and there's a different kind of glow on your face.
Is there something special today?"
Ramish smiled and replied,
"Thank you for the compliment."
Then he added softly,
"When your dream stands beside you as reality,
what could be more special than that moment?"
Richer looked at Ramish with a smile filled with warmth.
After a moment, Ramish asked,
"So, what's special about Yas Water World? What can we enjoy there?"
The manager replied while looking at him through the mirror,
"Sir, there are many slides and rides—
you can really enjoy yourself with the water there."
Richer noticed through the glass
that the manager kept smiling at Ramish while talking.
Quietly, he moved closer and sat beside him,
then said with slight displeasure,
"Fix the mirror…"
The manager immediately adjusted it.
Richer looked at Ramish deeply,
but Ramish's face was still filled with a gentle smile.
Leaning closer to his ear, Ramish whispered,
"Are you… feeling a little jealous?"
Richer wrapped an arm around Ramish's waist and pulled him closer.
"I don't like it… when someone looks at you like that
and praises you."
Ramish made an innocent face and teased,
"What do you mean 'like that'?"
Richer replied, slightly annoyed,
"I just said I don't like it… so I don't like it."
Ramish gently touched his face and said with a soft smile,
"Don't worry… I belong only to you.
Even if the whole world praises me,
it means nothing to me.
But a single compliment from you…
that's the only thing that truly matters for me."
A smile appeared on Richer's lips.
Just then, the manager said,
"Sir, we've arrived at Yas Water World."
Both stepped out of the car,
holding each other's hands,
and slowly walked inside.
Colorful High above slides were everywhere touching the sky,
the sound of water and joyful voices
filled the air with life.
They changed their clothes and wore beach outfits
that Ramish had already bought for both of them.
Richer smiled and said,
"See… we finally wore them.
Yesterday you were so worried about this."
Ramish smiled and replied,
"You looks very beautiful… and really hot in this dress."
Richer teased back,
"You're not any less."
Ramish smiled lightly, then turned serious.
"We're here now…
but I want to tell you something."
Richer immediately said,
"Yes, tell me."
Ramish covered his face slightly with his hands and said softly,
"I… I'm really scared of deep water."
Richer was startled.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?
We could have gone somewhere else instead!"
Ramish replied gently,
"I didn't want to ruin your plan
because of my fear.
You enjoy the slides…
I'll just watch you.
Maybe later, we can try something together."
Richer's face fell.
"What kind of thing is that…
Come with me—I won't let anything happen to you."
Ramish slowly shook his head.
"No… I can't do it."
The smile faded from Richer's face.
Ramish quickly added,
"Don't be sad…
I'll cheer for you on every slide."
Richer smiled softly and said,
"Come… let's go then."
The two of them slowly walked toward a slide.
With eyes shining in excitement, Richer said,
"Ramish, you can at least try this slide with me…
the water here is less than a foot deep."
Seeing the happiness on Richer's face,
Ramish couldn't refuse. A faint smile appeared on his lips and he said,
"Yes… I can do this slide with you."
He gently grabbed Richer's collar, pulling him closer with affection, and said playfully,
"But you'll have to take care of me…
and I'm sure you'll take very good care of me."
Richer's face filled with surprise and a soft blush.
He replied quietly,
"Yes… of course."
He extended his hand toward Ramish.
"Come… today we'll defeat your fear together."
Ramish smiled, took his hand,
and nodded in agreement.
They climbed the stairs and reached the top,
where the view of the Yas water world looked even more mesmerizing.
At the height, a slight nervousness appeared on Ramish's face.
Richer asked gently,
"Don't you trust me?"
Ramish immediately replied,
"I trust you more than I trust myself."
Hearing this, Richer smiled.
He stepped closer from behind,
wrapped his arms around Ramish,
and rested his face against his shoulder.
"Now look… and tell me, how scared are you?"
Ramish glanced around and said,
"A little… I'm still a bit scared."
Richer held him tighter.
"And now?"
Ramish said playfully,
"Still a little…"
Richer tightened his arms even more around him.
Ramish laughed.
"Okay, now it's fine… but I'm having trouble breathing!"
Richer laughed too and said,
"It's the effect of my arms… they've chased your fear away."
Ramish smiled and replied softly,
"When I'm in your arms,
I don't know why I forget everything…
whether it's fear or the world around me."
Richer smiled hearing this and said,
"Come… sit here for the slide."
Ramish looked at him for a moment,
and Richer added with a smile,
"Just sit…"
Ramish sat down.
Richer sat right behind him and said,
"When we go down,
lean back onto me…
this way you won't feel scared."
Ramish smiled lightly.
"Alright…"
Richer asked,
"So, Ramish… are you ready?"
Ramish nodded.
"Yes…"
The next moment, Richer held him firmly
and pushed them both toward the slide.
They rushed down at high speed,
both screaming and laughing like children.
Ramish lay back against Richer,
and together they slid down into the water.
Splashes of water soaked them,
and the moment filled with pure joy.
Ramish stood up
and extended his hand toward Richer.
Richer held his hand and got up.
"How was it?"
Ramish immediately hugged him.
"It was amazing!"
Richer smiled.
Holding his hand again, he said,
"Come… one more time!"
And just like that,
the two of them kept enjoying the slide again and again—
laughing, playing,
and holding onto each other,
lost in a world of childhood innocence of their own.
