Jack nodded. "Like I would say no." He said, smiling as he got up.

Eric gave him a look, almost shrinking into himself. JACKYOUFUCKINGTRAITOR-

Damien made eye contact with Kari as she left, eyes begging her to stay.

She did not.

Turning to Eric, Damien rubbed the back of his neck, uncharacteristically nervous.

“Hey, man.”

"Hey." He said, a little awkwardly. "What's up?"

“Eh, not much, haven’t really done anything since I, uh, saw you last. How about you?”

"Same here, not much." He admitted, shrugging slightly.

“Want that beer I promised you?” Damien asked with a crooked grin.

Eric smiled slightly. "Sure." He said, getting up.

Against his better judgement, Damien grabbed Eric’s hand with a grin, tugging him toward the bar, much like how Kira had dragged him across the club.

“C’mon, then”

Eric grinned, blushing slightly as he trailed after him. "I'm coming!"

When they got to the bar, Damien sat at a stool and ordered beers, still holding Eric’s hand.
I should let go of his hand… but I don’t want to

Eric glanced over at him, taking a few minutes to process that he was still holding his hand. Wait shit what do I do- do I wait for him to say something? Do I drop it? Help?

letgoletgoletgo

Giving Eric’s hand a small squeeze, almost on accident, Damien finally let go.

“I, uh, sorry,” he stuttered, blushing and biting his lip. “Guess you coulda just followed me.”

"I-it's fine." He said, smiling softly. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

It feels like you don’t hate me. God, Kari was right… I might like you-

Still blushing, Damien was about to say something, when the bartender set down their beers.

Eric looked up at the bartender, smiling slightly in thanks. Holyshitholyshitholyshit-

Damien cleared his throat, grabbing his beer and looking away from Eric, only to glance back at him.

What do I say to him?

Eric picked up his, looking down as he sipped at it. Either I'm killing Jack when we leave, or I'm gonna have to thank him

Noticing that Eric was looking down, Damien took a moment to look at the other shamelessly.

Say something, dammit!

“I’ve been thinking about you all day.”

WHY IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID?!!??
AAAAAAAHHABAHAHAAAA

"Oh?" He asked, glancing up, pink taking over his cheeks. ME???? WHAT???? AAAAAAAAAAAAA?

Stupid stupid stupid

“Y-yeah,” Damien stuttered, blushing bright red. and. “I just… I just can’t get over last night.”

Nice save, dumbass. You made it worse

"Honestly… me neither…" He mumbled, fidgeting slightly.

“Ugh, sorry, I know you probably want to forget about it,” Damien sighed, rubbing his face. “I shoulda just bought your beer and left, huh?”

"N-no, it's fine-" He said quickly, looking up.

Damien snorted, “Yeah, sure. I can—I can just go find Kira.” I’d rather stay here, though

"No, really, it's fine." He insisted. "Honest."
