"Thank you," Cyprus said with warm smile. "It also serves…other purposes, from what I've been told," he added, his smile turning into a smirk

Liam rolled his eyes, “Alright, I get it.” He replied. They were drawing nearer to the cafe Liam had planned to take them to and his stomach started doing flips. Why was he so nervous?

Cyprus simply chuckled. He ran a hand through his hair, eyes flicking across the street. It was sort of strange, not having horns, or looking like a ghost at all

“Here we are.” Liam said, pushing up the doors to an old retro styled cafe. It looked more like an arcade then anything, suppose it was as the back of the room had many old arcade games, including a bowling ally. The front of the place was the cafe area, there was also a bar, closed as it was the middle of the day but the place had a very lively feel it it.

Cyprus' eyes widened, and if he was still in his ghost form they'd be shaped like stars. "This is…amazing," he breathed out, an awestruck look on his face as he looked around the cafe

Liam smiled, “I know. What do you want to do first? Bowling, arcade or eat?” He asked, still grinning as he looked at Cyprus

"Oh dear, there are so many decisions," Cyprus mumbled. He looked around for a moment before his eyes landed on the bowling alley. "How about we start with bowling?"

“Great, I’ll go pay and get shoes.” Liam said, walking over to the counter and starting up a conversation with the guy behind it.

Cyprus nodded before walking over to one of the chairs. There was a young child looking at him strangely, and he looked away, suddenly nervous. What if people saw right through his disguise? What if it was obvious he wasn't normal?

Liam came back shortly with two pairs of shoes and the screen lit up on the board, “Here you go.” He said, handing Cyprus a pair of the shoes

"Thank you, love," Cyprus hummed before taking the shoes. He pressed a quick kiss to Liam's cheek before beginning to put the bowling shoes on

“Alright, you’re first so once your shoes are on you can take your first roll.” Liam told him, pulling his own shoes on

"Um. Okay," Cyprus said. He finished with his shoes before walking hesitantly over to the balls. He had seen Jay go bowling before, but this couldn't be too hard, could it?

Liam shook his head while smiling, “Here,” He said, helping Cyprus pick out a ball, “Just roll it down the middle, no magic.” He added.

"Relax, I won't use any magic. I can't anyways, it would ruin my cover," Cyprus assured him. He picked up the ball, squinting at it for a moment before walking over to the alley. He frowned at the pins, taking a moment to concentrate before tossing the ball directly into the gutter

Liam held back his laughter and just grinned, “You have another shot, try again.” He said, motioning to the other balling-balls.

"Okay," Cyprus said, frowning as he grabbed another ball. He threw it, and managed to somehow knock about half the pins down. "I did it!" he exclaimed giddily

“Nice.” Liam replied, giving him a congratulatory kiss on te cheek before grabbing his own ball. The pins were aligned again and Liam took his shot, and earned himself a strike, “Get in there!” He exclaimed, his smile growing.

"Good job," Cyprus laughed, grinning at Liam's excitement. He would admit, Liam was absolutely adorable when he was excited

“Your turn.” He said, still smiling when he sat back down and watch Cyprus take his next shot.

Cyprus took a ball, frowning in concentration. He tossed the ball, and managed to knock all but two of the pins down. "I'm getting better," he said with a small grin

“Yup, go again and see if you can get a spare.” Liam said, leaning forward onto his knees.

Cyprus nodded, grabbing another ball before squinting at the pins he had missed. He tossed the ball and made a noise of exhasperation when he only knocked one down

“You’ll get ‘em next time.” Liam reassured him, placing a kiss on his cheek before taking his next shot.
The game wore on until finally it was the final shots and the two of them where tied for the win.

Cyprus grabbed a ball, frowning in concentration as he looked downrange. He took a deep breath before tossing the ball. It managed to hit a strike, and Cyprus threw his hands in the air giddily. “I did it, I did it!” he exclaimed

“Good job!” Liam stood up and hugged him tightly, “But you haven’t won yet.”

“But I might,” Cyprus said, giving Liam a teasing grin

Liam rolled his his eyes, “Let’s find out.” He replied grabbing a ball and taking his shot, knocking down all but one pin.

“Did I win? Do you win if you hit the pin?” Cyprus asked, now excited to see if he had won

“If I hit the pin it’s a draw but if I miss you win.” He replied, taking his last shot, the ball grazing the Kin but not knocking it over.
