Date: September 10, 2011 Characters: Caleb Young, Will Butler Location: busy street in Ft Worth Status: Semi-Public Summary: Caleb runs into someone with one of those faces. Completion: Complete
It was probably weird to be helping his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend look at engagement rings, but Will decided that he didn't mind the unconventional relationship they all had. He loved Lilah, even if they hadn't worked out as an us, and he liked Mike. The guy loved Lilah in ways Will hadn't, treated the kids well, didn't mind Will being a large part of the family, and they got along, too. If Demi, Bruce and Ashton could do it, he didn't see any reason why they couldn't. Besides, he was way hotter than Bruce Willis

Caleb lifted his free hand automatically to the man's shoulder. He'd actually seen him coming, but there hadn't been much room to move out of his way. No harm done, though. He wasn't feeling that pissy today. "'s all right," he said, glancing up at the man's face, then freezing as his brain registered vague recognition. He had no idea what it might be from, though.
After a beat, he dropped his hand and shook his head slightly, realising he'd lingered too long. "Sorry, distracted. Ah, seems like everyone's out today. We're probably not the first collison."
Will took a moment to check out the guy he'd run into. It seemed that there were a lot of attractive people in Texas. In this area, at least. Maybe it was something in the water. He'd better not tell Vinnie about it, or he'll be asked to bottle the water or deal with a houseguest for an indefinite amount of time, either of which would drive him crazy, much as he loved the man.
"Probably not," he agreed. "I was lost in my head, so I can't really say anything about being distracted." He smiled. "I guess it's lucky that I ran into you and not someone who wouldn't be so understanding."
Caleb's lips quirked, not missing how the man's eyes lingered on him. At least he wouldn't be likely to take offense after all. He did a brief once-over himself, casual and appraising, and liked what he saw.
"Well now, you caught me after I'd cooled off," he admitted. "My eye doctor's telling me I need glasses." His eyes narrowed. "Wanted to tell him where to stick his glasses." It was nothing for him to talk about it; he could get going on just about anything with just about anyone. He smiled easily at the man.
