Warning! Double Trouble Ahead

Chapter 23: Making Amends

They put on their best outfits, ones that wouldn't draw much attention but enough. Fachan wore a black shirt with white ripped jeans, a white jacket accompanying it while he wore black shoes to finish it off. Ciksura wore the complete opposite, though he had added glasses. They both wanted to dress to impress without overdoing it; they were seeing the man they couldn't have after all.

Enzo sat in front of his mirror, his mind over analyzing his clothes. He wasn't sure if a button up would be too formal but he wanted to look good. He had already tried on the plain shirt and jeans tactic but he thought that this called for more. He was about to see the two people he couldn't get out of his head, he had to look his best.

Ciksura wore a half up half down style, the up part being a bun. Fachan copied it but with a ponytail instead, both feeling that it fit the occasion properly. It was a mixture of casual and formal, which they were aiming for. They wanted to let him know that they would try harder without making it look that way.

Enzo messed with his hair for what felt like hours. Cosby looked at him like the human was going crazy and he felt that he might be. He tried pushing it to the side but it didn't feel like it fit. He tried what he did at the ball but it wasn't working for him. He wanted to look better than he ever had, but if he couldn't find a style he wouldn't be going.

The twins put on light cologne while adding on the last few pieces of jewelry, each filled with nerves but only one visibly showing it. His smile was wobblily but brighter than it had been while Ciksura simply kept his bored attitude. They had to get through this night without messing something up, even the smallest bit could determine everything.

He looked at his dog with a nervous smile, the animal huffing at him before hopping up. Enzo laughed some before looking off to the counter, figuring he could add the bracelet he got as a gift to his clothing. He wanted to let them know that he was trying to forgive them, even in the smallest amount.

The twins left without a word, Joshua already knowing the plan as he headed towards the cargo hold. This entire 'date' would determine if their operation went to hell, and he prayed for everyone that it would go well.

Enzo left his home with Cosby following after, the dog excited to get ice cream while his owner continued to stress over everything. He would check his watch to make sure he was ahead of schedule while also making sure Cosby had what he needed. This day would determine if he lost good friends or not.

He sat at the table with shaky legs, his hands wrapped around the hem of his shirt as he kept his eyes on the outside. Just like usual the small shop was empty, the place mostly busy on holidays. Cosby lay beneath the seat like usual, a bowl of water next to him as he waited impatiently for his food.

Enzo would check his watch periodically, the time getting closer and closer to twelve and he wondered if they would even show. They hadn't seen each other in months, they had no obligation to show up, but he hoped that they would.

His phone buzzed and he quickly checked it, his friend's contact showing as a notification. He tapped on it and assured Louise that he was still alive, the male worried even months after. Enzo guessed it was a reasonable fear but unnecessary, seeing as how he was barely injured.

The sound of the streets got slightly louder and he looked up, seeing two tall men that he hoped would be coming to his table. They had matched hairstyles and their clothes mimicked each other's, causing Enzo to think about his own attire. It wasn't that different from theirs' but he might have over done it slightly, though their eyes told him otherwise.

They stopped just outside the table, the slightly shorter twin with a nervous smile as he looked at the shortest. "Enzo?" He questioned with almost disbelief, as though he wasn't sure the male would actually be here.
