As the day reached Saturday, Chris invited Keith to his house to hang out.
When Keith agreed to come over, Chris cleaned his parents' house up about an hour beforehand. As he finished cleaning, Chris took a quick nap on the couch in the living room. He was woken up a few minutes later by someone knocking at the door.
Chris rubbed his eyes before standing up from the couch to open the door.
Once Chris approached the door, he immediately opened it. Before Chris could say anything, Keith hugged him and said, "Thanks for inviting me over, sweetie." Chris smiled, hugged Keith back, and replied, "I'm glad you could make it today."
Chris and Keith proceeded to sit down on the couch afterwards.
Then, Keith asked, "So, you've got any plans?" Chris replied, "I was thinking we could watch some shows on some streaming platform." Keith got excited and suddenly asked, "Do you know that streaming service called WOW Presents Plus?"
Chris looked at Keith with a confused face and shook his head.
He then said, "I don't even know what this WOW thing is." Keith replied, "Oh, miss thing... WOW is the production company every queer person knows at this day and age. It's the home of Drag Race!" Chris further got puzzled by what Keith said.
This made Keith confused as well.
All of a sudden, Chris asked, "What's that? Is it, like... about cars or some shit?" Keith scoffed and said, "I can't believe you don't know who RuPaul is." Chris let out a loud oh and replied, "I know who that is. As a matter of fact, I think I now know what you're talking about." Keith sarcastically uttered, "Thank God you do." Chris chuckled and said, "Hey, in my defense... I don't have much time to watch reality TV."
Keith simply nodded.
Then, he said, "Lucky for you, I've been subscribing to WOW Presents Plus. Wanna watch RuPaul's Drag Race, then?" Chris got excited and replied, "Sure, babe. Now I'm actually curious about what happens every episode in this show."
Keith laughed.
As Chris plugged in and turned on his TV, Keith grabbed his phone and opened the WOW Presents Plus app. Afterwards, he asked Chris, "Which season do you wanna watch with me?" Chris replied, "Whatever you recommend, honey."
Keith smiled at Chris.
Then, Keith said, "Before we start watching, let me teach you about what you should expect to see in a regular season of the show. All Stars seasons of this show work a little differently, so." Chris nodded and replied, "Sure, go ahead, babe."
Keith proceeded to summarize the format of a season of RuPaul's Drag Race to brief Chris about what he may see throughout the show.
As Keith finished talking, Chris got more excited and told him, "These queens sound like they know their shit to entertain, huh?" Keith chuckled softly and replied, "I know, right?" Chris then said, "Let's binge-watch a season you enjoyed a lot."
So, Keith looked up RuPaul's Drag Race on the catalog presented in the WOW Presents Plus app.
Once he picked a season, Keith asked Chris, "Are you ready to dive head first into peak queer culture, honey?" Chris looked towards Keith and replied, "Ready as I'll ever be." As Keith pressed play, he and Chris started binge-watching the sixth season.
While watching, Chris and Keith paused to grab food and drinks whenever they felt hungry.
As they finished the season, Chris exclaimed, "These girlinas do not play. They are not afraid to throw some serious shade." Keith chuckled softly and said, "Well, that's the beauty of reality TV. You can't deny that watching these are a guilty pleasure."
Chris nodded.
He and Keith proceeded to talk about the queens of the sixth season for half an hour. Then, Chris checked the time and noticed that it was already 7:30 pm. He then asked, "Do you wanna eat dinner with us, Keith?" Keith replied, "Oh, sorry, I can't. My brothers are probably already looking for me around this time. Maybe we could have a sleepover sometime soon?" Chris smiled and said, "Sure."
Afterwards, Keith stood up from the couch.
He then said, "Don't worry. When I convince my parents to host a sleepover, I'll tell you right away, alright?" Chris replied, "Sure, babe. Whenever you could, honey." Keith chuckled. Chris stood up a few moments later and walked up to the door.
Then, Keith gave Chris a hug.
Moments after pulling away from the hug, Chris suddenly kissed Keith's lips. Both of them made out for a few seconds before Keith pulled away. Keith smiled afterwards and said, "See you some other time, sweetheart." Chris nodded while smiling.
Keith left Chris' house and proceeded to make his way back to his house after that.
