UNEDITED!

Dan was sitting behind his desk,thinking trough his new daily routine. The tasks laying ahead of him, while his not new-found but enjoyable dignity ,that rose even higher with his current role in the office, made his chest tighten. It was a damn good feeling. 

On the table, his office phone rang. "Yes?"

"Uhm,Daniel ,I've finished organizing work perfomances,from last year to this month." The weirdo. Clown of the office,with his undeniable oddity,his unkept red main, and painfully plain taste in clothes didnt make the man situation any better. He had an average persona,too ordinary maybe, too common. In a world where everyone wanted to stand out, someone who was as uncharacteristic as James, was an oddball. At first glance, his work was okay, the man not bad, but not good either, not hot but not cold either. After Daniel started to work with James, he discovered this wasnt the case at all. But somehow he got the feeling, the other deliberately didnt want to be noticed. After all, Dan had forgotten all about him, until they met for his last project, couldnt recall a memory of the guy from university days, not one. Tough, he knew him, had a strange familiarity in the spit of his stomach , whenever he'd seen, or talked with James.  The brunette linked this feeling to his childhood of course, to an underclassman ,who was also a weirdo, likewise James. But was there really that much similarity between the two of them? After all, Tony was gay, in the closet. Hiding.

This chain of thought, made him reflex and focus even more on his theorization. Was there a reason for someone trying that hard to be unnoticable, unremarkable and average? Yes there was,thought Daniel. If you are not like the rest, you'll try your hardest to fit in, and be normal. How stupid I can be? I should have noticed it sooner, if the queer -bleached-blonde-haired , nancy -boy bestfriend wasnt a clear sign, than I dont know what else can count as a hint. 

"Daniel?" Confused questioning, shyly.

With a frown, on his  dark handsome face, Dan spoke up. " Good job. Finished sooner ,than I predicted you would. " Feeling dumb wasnt Daniel favorite thing. " There's nothing else to do, you can go now."

"It wasnt that hard, had all the data in the computer base. " Replied meekly James, flushing with joy and pride, but that was his secret of course. His determination wavering, but he decided to change, so he planned to do just that. "Uhm,Daniel?"

"Yes?" 

Tapping nervously his fingers on the top of his table, outside Daniel's office ,by his door, where James newly got placed,he asked. "Do you have something planned for tonight?" James bit his lip, it was hard, like chewing on iron and steel. It wasnt him, this wasnt him. Say no. No,say yes. Dont say anything, say something. "I just wanted to show my gratitude, you know with a drink or something. If you have time or -"

"I'm in." Came the instant answer. 

"What?" Doubled over his words ,James. "Like for real?"

Daniel laughed, out of belly. Like a kid whose heard the most funniest joke,ever. "Yeah,James. Is it that hard to believe?" Teasing James was a hobby, Dan came to appreciate.
