YOU ARE ALL INVITED TO A PARTY!
kgoodman3958
Hello, citizens of the internet!
While we have yet to hear about what the higher-ups thought about our meet-up, I don’t think it could ever be too early to celebrate! It was fantastic and wonderful to meet all of you last week and I would love to see you guys again to get to know you better. What better way than to have another party? I suggested it earlier and many seemed to enjoy this idea, so I’ve decided on a date.

Below that message, Keith conveniently left his phone number and home address.

“This is Keith, right?” Barnaby asked, craning his head back to look at Kotetsu upside down behind the couch. Kotetsu was struggling to put on a tie while he held the toast he made for breakfast between his teeth. It must have still been pretty hot because the butter looked like it was going to slide right off the side and cause big problems for his shirt.

Not wasting a second, Barnaby set Kotetsu’s laptop aside and jumped over the back of the chair to grab the tie for him. He just couldn’t stand to see a shirt get ruined so early in the morning by such carelessness. “Watch your toast,” he reprimanded, pushing the edge of the slice up to make it more level, saving the butter from going any farther.

“I got it, I got it,” Kotetsu said rather incomprehensibly from behind the toast in his mouth. He reached up and took a bite to swallow, then finally returned to what Barnaby was originally asking about. “Keith?”

Barnaby took the mess of a knot Kotetsu had made out of the tie and started all over again, putting it back around his neck. “Yeah, I think he just made a post about-”

“Weren’t we going to stop using the site...”

Barnaby looked down and to the side, his hands halting briefly on the neat knot he was forming. “I don’t recall saying something like that. It’s a good communication tool.”

Kotetsu smiled wanly and patted Barnaby’s head with the hand that wasn’t preoccupied with toast. “That’s very true. It can be really useful in the right hands.” His hand slid down to his shoulder as he finished up tying and tightening his tie. “But we know how clumsy my hands are now. You’re probably better off using it than I am.”

Those were the words that made Barnaby start to question whether it was a good idea for him to bring up what Keith was planning. On one hand, he really didn’t want to see him start to go down the road they had gone of misusing the site, but at the same time... another party. If he mentioned that detail to Kotetsu, he sort of already knew what kind of response to expect.

“Let’s see then...” Kotetsu mumbled after Barnaby released his tie. He slipped away easily and before Barnaby could think of what to do to keep him away from the laptop, he was already on the couch with it in his lap, reading the post.

“Ah... He’s...”

One of his partner’s eyebrows raised and then the other joined it as he apparently read over the part that revealed his phone number and address. “Oh, Keith,” he sighed, taking a dramatic bite out of his toast. “Depending on how this goes, it could be worse than what happened with us.”

“Much, much worse, you mean,” Barnaby said, sitting down next to him on the couch. He took the laptop from him and placed it into his own lap, ignoring the blush he felt creeping across his face when he realized it was still warm from Kotetsu’s legs. He temporarily shook that from his mind so he could refresh the page to see if Keith had posted anywhere else in the thread yet.

Upon refreshing, he found several new posts; mostly from users who seemed to be excited about the prospect of a party, but thankfully, were just as perplexed by it as he and Kotetsu were.
