Taehyun wasn't really sure why he called Robert. Sure it had been fun messing with him at Muse the other night, but Taehyun didn't really date. That usually required a certain amount of sharing and other shit that he had never particularly liked. But if there was one thing Taehyun had been learning this week it was that thinking about his feelings and motivations weren't that enjoyable. He had felt like calling Robert, so he had and that was that.

"Hey," he said, smiling as he approached Robert. The thought that he might be stood up hadn't crossed his mind, but he was almost relieved to spot Robert in front of the Park Place Block Party.

Robert whipped around at the sound of Taehyun's voice, relieved that he hadn't been stood up and wouldn't have to wander the block party or the rest of Arts Goggle by himself. "Hi! Good to see you." There, that wasn't so hard not to sound like a tool. Now to figure out how the rest of the greeting should go. Did he stand there and wait for Taehyun to stand with him or did he hold out a hand for a handshake? Was a hug the next step?

Robert caught himself before he kicked at the sidewalk, as he was already picking up his foot. To cover, he took a step closer to Taehyun. "I've never been to this before, thanks for inviting me."

Internally, he cheered that he still sounded normal. Now to not make a jackoff joke or similar and he'd be doing really well for the day.

"Same here," Taehyun replied. He knew it wasn't exactly nice to be amused by Robert's uncertainty. Really, he could help it though and he'd never thought of himself as a particularly nice person anyways. He just smiled at the other man, thinking that that might help. Maybe?

"No problem. I haven't gone to one of these before either," he said. Fuck, he didn't really know where to go from here. He resisted the urge to fidget with his glasses. After wearing contacts most of the times he had never gotten quite used to them. "Thought it sounded fun, but didn't want to go by myself." Not really true, but whatever.

"You want to just wander or listen to some music?" Robert felt better at the smile. Maybe he wasn't going to fuck this up. What had Riley said? Oh, right, be charming like he could be when he wanted something out of her. He could do that. Robert grinned (the one that Riley said she couldn't resist and the one that made Laszlo visit for a few extra days), sketched a quick bow and then offered his hand. "Shall we head in?"
