.QUADRUPLE... DATE.
☆•. 21. | THE eight people sat all together on the bench underneath the canopy. Nick sat in front of Alexander, Darcy sat in front of Tara, Tao sat in front of Elle and.. Charlie sat in front of Louis. "—Why'd you agree to come if you thought it would be boring?" Charlie looked at Tao who sat beside him.
"Because I'm a very nice and supportive friend, obviously—"
"No, he came for the milkshakes and the milkshakes only." Elle Interrupted Tao, looking around at everyone.
"I said that to you in confidence!"
"How did you two become friends?" Darcy asked while Alexander stirred his practically empty vanilla milkshake.
"I was friends with Charlie first and Tao came along as a package deal." Elle explained. Tao let out a screech of shock with a shocked look on his face, mouth wide open and eyebrows furrowed.
"Rude!" Tao rolled his tongue. "You're lucky to have me."
"You make a cute little pair." Darcy smiled, looking between the two. There was a small awkward silence as most of the table turned around and gave Darcy a 'shut-up' look. Tao finished his milkshake before turning to the group.
"So, we're ordering a second round, right?" He asked.
"Yeah." Most of the table agreed.
"We can go and get them." Nick said, referring to him and Alexander. Alexander stood up from the table as orders were shouted out to them. As the two got to the milkshake van, Alexander tried Nick's newly-made milkshake. The Rugby boy watched as Alexander's face twisted and changed from disgust to 'meh' to back again.
"Nuhuh." Alexander shook his head with a small disgusted face. "I mean, it's not bad but... not for me at all."
"I cannot believe you're disrespecting bubblegum flavour in front of me." Nick said, shaking his head as Alexander's milkshake arrived. "Right. Let me try yours." Alexander crossed his arms, watching Nick with a raised eyebrow while the boy took a sip from his milkshake. A small look of shock washed over the boy's face. "Wow."
"See? I'm the best decision maker. I'm not, actually, don't trust me to decide shit." He muttered the last part.
"We should swap." Nick said, placing Alexander's milkshake back.
"Nuhuh! Hands off my milkshake! You made your choice." Alexander poked him slightly while Nick thought for a moment.
"Well, okay, we can share." Nick stole another two straws, placing them in both milkshakes. "We are on a date."
"So, that's the official rule of dating? Sharing milkshakes?" Alexander chuckled with his arms still crossed as he looked at Nick.
"Yeah."
There was a small silence. "You know, we should go on a date. No one else. Just us. I mean, like, only if you'd want to." Alexander explained to the boy, glancing up at him. A smile took over Nick's face as he watched him. "It's Fine if you don't want to. That was stupid. I'll shut up."
"No, no, We should." Nick smiled. "I'd like that."
"Look at me," Alexander smirked to himself. "I just asked Nick Nelson on a date." The Boy sighed, glancing back at the table where Charlie and Louis were staring at one another, smiles on their lips. "Did you know about this?"
"What?" Nick questioned, stealing a sip from the milkshake they now shared.
"Them." Alexander motioned toward the other two boys. Nick watched them for a moment. "I mean, why didn't they tell me?"
