As the party came to an end, Ben, his sister, her husband, and their children, along with Mark, made their way out of the venue. They all piled into Ben's brother-in-law's car, laughing and chatting as they settled in for the ride.
Ben's sister's husband carefully loaded Ben's gifts into the car, making sure everything was secure for the drive. As they set off, Ben leaned back in his seat, feeling grateful for the wonderful celebration and the love that surrounded him.
Mark sat beside him, holding his hand, and Ben smiled, feeling happy and content. The car wound its way through the streets, eventually pulling up to Ben's hostel. Ben's gifts were carefully unloaded, and he said goodbye to his family, thanking them again for being there.
Mark got out with Ben, helping him carry his gifts to his room in the hostel. After dropping off Ben and his gifts, the car continued on to Mark's hostel building, where Mark bid farewell to Ben's family and got out, exchanging night greetings with Ben's sister and her family before parting ways.
Here's a continuation:
The night was still buzzing with happiness as Mark and Ben settled into their respective routines. After a satisfying meal and a lovely nightly chat, they both drifted off to bed, each with a smile on their face.
Ben's smile was still radiating from the joy of celebrating his birthday in such a special way, surrounded by loved ones and having his dreams come true. He felt grateful for the love and support that filled his life.
Mark's smile, on the other hand, was fueled by the thrill of openly expressing their relationship to Ben's friends and family. He felt proud to be Ben's partner and happy to have shared this special moment with him.
As they drifted off to sleep, both boys felt content, knowing that their love was strong and that they had each other to look forward to. The happiness of the night lingered, filling their dreams with sweet memories of the day's celebrations.
Here's a continuation:
The next morning, Ben and Mark woke up to a flurry of messages on their phones. At first, they groggily reached for their devices, rubbing the sleep from their eyes. But as they scrolled through the group chat and school platforms, their faces lit up with surprise and amusement.
The messages were all about Ben's birthday celebration the day before, with friends and acquaintances wishing him a belated happy birthday and all the best. But what caught their attention were the messages about their relationship.
It seemed that the news of Ben and Mark's relationship had spread like wildfire across the university, and people were talking about it. Some messages were congratulatory, while others were simply curious or even supportive. Ben and Mark exchanged a look, both of them feeling a mix of emotions - surprise, excitement, and a bit of nervousness.
Ben and Mark decided to ignore the flurry of messages for now and focus on getting ready for the day. They went about their morning routines, getting dressed and freshening up.
In his own room, Ben played a soothing song titled "Morning Stars" as he drifted to the bathroom, singing along to the gentle melody. The music accompanied him as he brushed his teeth and washed his face, helping him shake off the sleepiness.
After getting dressed, Ben checked his phone and saw a sweet morning message from Mark. The message was filled with greetings, affectionate words, and a practical request - Mark asked Ben to cook more food because he was coming over to eat at his place. Ben couldn't help but smile at the message, feeling happy that Mark was looking forward to spending time with him.
He quickly typed out a response, agreeing to cook something delicious for Mark. As he waited for Mark to arrive, Ben started preparing the food, his heart filled with excitement and affection for his partner.
As Ben cooked up a storm in the kitchen, he couldn't help but sing along to the new song playing on his playlist - "Affectionate Lover". The sweet melody and romantic lyrics resonated with his feelings for Mark, and he found himself lost in the music.
With a spatula in hand, Ben swayed to the beat, his voice softly singing the lyrics. The kitchen was filled with the aroma of delicious food and the sound of music, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere.
As he cooked, Ben's thoughts drifted to Mark, and he couldn't wait for him to arrive. He imagined the look of delight on Mark's face when he tasted the food, and the smile that would spread across his face. The song's lyrics seemed to capture the essence of their relationship, and Ben felt his heart swell with affection for his partner.

The aroma of freshly cooked food filled the air, and their stomachs growled in anticipation. They sat down, and Ben served the food, eager to share this moment with Mark.
As they sat down to eat, Ben and Mark enjoyed each other's company, savoring the delicious meal Ben had prepared. They chatted about the messages they both got this morning "Guess we're officially out," Mark said, grinning, as he showed Ben his phone.
Ben chuckled, feeling a sense of freedom and liberation. "Guess so," he replied, smiling back at Mark. "But we're ready for it." The food was a perfect accompaniment to their conversation, and they both felt grateful for the love and companionship they shared.
After finishing their meal, they got up to clean the table and wash the dishes together. It was a task they tackled with ease, their movements synchronized as they worked side by side. The camaraderie they shared made even the mundane task of cleaning up enjoyable.
Once they finished cleaning, they headed out to their university building together, ready to face the day ahead. The sun was shining, casting a warm glow over the campus as they walked hand in hand, feeling carefree and happy. They were looking forward to a day of learning, growth, and shared experiences, and they knew that with each other by their side, they could tackle anything that came their way.
As Ben and Mark walked across campus, they couldn't help but notice the whispers and glances from their fellow students. Their relationship was now public knowledge, and people were talking about it.
Some friends approached them, congratulating them on being open about their relationship. Others simply stared, curiosity etched on their faces. Ben and Mark handled the attention with ease, smiling and greeting their peers with confidence.
While some people might have been surprised or even judgmental, Ben and Mark were met with mostly support and encouragement. They felt grateful for the love and acceptance of their community, and they knew that their relationship was strong enough to withstand any scrutiny.
As they walked to their next class, Ben leaned over to Mark and whispered, "I think we're campus news now." Mark chuckled and squeezed his hand, replying, "We're just living our truth, babe."
As Ben and Mark entered their classroom together, a subtle shift in attention occurred. Conversations paused, and heads turned in their direction. The room was filled with curious gazes, some friendly, others more reserved.
