The clock ticks. It's been 20 minutes and he hasn't shown up. People at the diner stare at me with apologetic faces as the staff is still waiting for my order. Eventually, I decide to leave since it turns out, I'm going to be lonely tonight. Just as I was, a man with brown hair wearing a floral shirt walks in. He sees me and rushes over to my table

Sorry I'm late, I had to get gas and there was also traffic which is just a problem of it's own

I look at him confused, he then continued

•Thomas•
I'm Thomas, he/him. The person who should be in my seat seems like a jerkface

@Nico@
I'm Nico, also he/him. Funny enough, this was supposed to be a blind date so I never saw his face

Thomas nods, the waiter on duty takes our orders. We talk as we wait for our food, continuing to make conversation over it once it comes to our table

I was about to pay the bill, Thomas does it instead. Eventually, we leave the diner

@Nico@
Thanks for what you did back there

•Thomas•
No problem, I'd like to see you again, if you don't mind that is

I find an old receipt at the bottom of my backpack along with a pen, I quickly write down my phone number and give it to him

@Nico@
Here's my number, if you want to see me again

Thomas nods, smiling and takes the receipt
