Josh finished his rounds and stopped by his apartment to shower and change. He'd gone running on the track earlier, but he hadn't wanted to go upstairs until he was done for the day. Dylan was going to be waiting for him, and Josh was pretty excited about tonight. It was going to be their first date, since they'd pretty much done things backwards. They'd already had sex and cared about each other enough to do the monogamy thing, but they hadn't actually gone on a date yet. Hell, Dylan still wasn't even that comfortable being with Josh in a relationship kind of way around other people, so Josh hadn't wanted to push for a date
( ... )
Dylan smiled when he spotted Josh. "Nah, not at all." Dylan knew this was a date, which was weird, but he was going to try. He knew it only had to be weird if he made it that way, and was determined not to let that happen. At least, not on account of his own stupidity.
"You look good," he said, meaning it. Even when Josh didn't look as he did now, toned and hot, Dylan had always seen him as attractive. Well, not in the way he did now, but in the way he could recognize an attractive guy. He'd always assumed it meant he was comfortable with himself, but maybe it hadn't been all that innocent.
"You hungry?" he asked after a minute of just staring at his boyfriend. Sure, it was new, but it was pretty awesome, too. "How was the run?"
"New shirt. The salesgirl said it brings out the color of my eyes. I told her my boyfriend might appreciate that." Josh posed for a moment and fluttered his eyelashes. He really wanted to lean in and kiss Dylan hello, but there were people around and he didn't want to start things off on the wrong foot, so he'd save that for when they had privacy.
"The run was good. I needed to work off a little energy." He smiled. "And, yeah, I could definitely eat. I was going to make us reservations somewhere, but I couldn't decide where. Steak? Seafood? Italian? Anything sound good?"
Dylan raised an eyebrow playfully when he mentioned the salesgirl. "Sounds like you set her straight. Which is good. Very good." He eventually looked away from Josh, knowing that Josh probably would be cool with Dylan leaning in for a hello kiss, but not wanting to blur the lines when he was technically at work.
"Yeah. The only thing that gets me about swimming is the whole being alone with your head thing. A little music would have gone a long way." Maybe someone would invent waterproof wireless headphones if they hadn't already. Now that would be killer.
Dylan was usually happy to eat just about anything, but for some reason Italian sounded especially good. "Italian sounds good, but I could do something healthier, too. You know how I feel about carbs..." Dylan waggled his eyebrows and nodded to the door. "Shall we?"
