"Travis, can I take you on a clichate?"
"A what? I don't speak Latin."
"You know. A cliché date."
"Like going to the movies?"
"Yeah. Like going to the movies."
"What movie?"
"The theater got permission from Netflix itself to play the first episode of Stranger Things."
"Oh?"
"I'll take it that you're going?"
"Ethan, Stranger Things sounds like it could be a horror show."
"It is, bu—"
"Nope, I'm not going to watch it. You have fun."
Ethan grabbed Travis's hand and yanked the cursing boy towards him.
"If you're going, we're leaving right now."
"Work!"
"Call in sick."
"Okay, fine. What if I can't fall asleep tonight and I'm lazy at work and it's all your fault?"
"Keep looking as cute as you are, and you'll only be sore."
Travis stepped back, eyes the size of plates.
"Did you just try to dirty talk?"
"Y-yeah."
Travis slipped Ethan's hand into his.
"If we can leave without Aria, my boss, noticing, we'll be golden."
