You'd think by now, I wouldn't get nervous before these things.

[He's showing some pieces at a gallery thing. idk art stuff. but his instinct when he's nervous beforehand is to text Matt. Like clock work.]

Comments

[byrned]

Fair point.
-
You've got a really big cock you know.

[cravating]

[That makes him actually laugh out loud]

Yeah? It does alright.

[byrned]

[ he hesitates before sending his next message, but says fuck it and sends it anyway ]

We should have done that years ago.

[cravating]

Probably yeah. I don't think I could have convinced you back then though

[byrned]

I need to tell you something.
-
I really like you Nate
-
I mean like gay like you.

[cravating]

I really gay like you too

[He might be teasing.]

[byrned]

Fuck off this is hard for me.

[cravating]

Sorry sorry. Couldn't help it.

[byrned]

Don't be a twat. That's my job. I'll let you off though.
-
What you doing?

[ Yes they covered that, but well it's a pressing question ]

[cravating]

Just laying on the couch. Wishing you were here.

[byrned]

I probably am. I mean that couch has seen some things. I'm sure I've left some of me behind.

[cravating]

Not quite what I meant

[byrned]

[ he knows, but the important stuff he finds stupidly difficult, so he jokes instead. Still, he takes the plunge...

So do you want to go and get food or something one of the days?

[ yes, he's asking what you think he's asking. ]

[cravating]

[Oh shit. Nate sits up straighter. Is he..? Is Matt asking him out on a date?]

I'd really like that.

[byrned]

[ and just in case Nate has any residual doubts and thinks he means go to a pub and get one of those two for seven quid meal specials, he confirms... ]

Ok pick somewhere nice. I'll pay. Wherever you like. Sound good?

[cravating]

[Well, that's a real and proper date, then, isn't it? Nate finds he feels a little warm all over, just thinking about it.]

Yeah, sounds great. Do you know when you're free?

[byrned]

How about Monday?

[ And given we're going to say it's Saturday, then Monday is fairly quick. Quite honestly, he'd say today but he doesn't want to look over eager. ]

[cravating]

Monday's great. I've got a meeting until about 6 so dinner at 7? There's this place I've been wanting to try.

[And he sends a link. It sure is a place. I'm so good at this.]

[byrned]

[ Matt looks at the place. It's definitely a place, and waaaay more hoity toity than he would ever pick. But then that's Nate, isn't it? He's that sort. ]

Better get the suit out for this one. I'll book the table.

[cravating]

You sure? I can pick something else. I know it's not exactly your thing.

[byrned]

[ The text isn't replied to straight away, and that's because he's on the phone booking the chef's table ]

It's fine, next time I'll pick. And it's booked now so I'd look like a twat if I called and cancelled.

[cravating]

[Next time. Oh that's nice to think about.]

I've heard good things. Okay so I'll just meet you there at 7 then?

[byrned]

It's a date.

[ boom. because it actually is, u know. ]

I've got this work thing tomorrow but I should be back Monday morning, so if I don't text you know why. Not me ignoring you.

[cravating]

More orgies?

[byrned]

French orgies. Those French are some kinky fucks. I'll bring you back some garlic
