(Another musical)


"I never went to prom"

"You didn't miss much"

"You went to prom?"

"Hard to believe, isn't it?"

"I can't imagine you in a suit"

"And yet"

Evan licks his lips, which Connor only notices because he's staring, he should probably stop doing that.

"Do you have evidence?"

His lake green eyes lift up to find Connor's, and he doesn't think he'd be able to lie.

"Yep"

"Can I see?"

"Uh... sure"

He fishes out his phone, digging around until he finds a half decent photo his mom took of the night; he hands it to Evan and waits. Evan's eyes widen and he looks a bit shaken.

"Jesus"

"That bad?"
Evan's head whips in his direction, he looks offended, Connor has no idea what he did.

"As a bisexual man I must shame you for denying the world of this"
"What?"
"Connor this is a crime against humanity"

"Ok, you're overdoing it"

"I'm really not"

"Is this you trying to make me wear a suit?"

"Yes!"

Connor rolls his eyes at him, but there's something warm nestled on his chest, and he's pretty sure he's blushing, but knows Evan won't point it out.

"Fine"

"Really?"

"Yeah, sure, you've convinced me"

"Yes!"

He has that bright victorious smile, the one that makes Connor's heart do a backflip, and he knows he wouldn't have been able to disagree anyways, not when Evan's looking at him like that.


Evan waits as Connor changes, a small smile playing on his lips; he thinks they might be friends. Connor walks out on a two piece suit that frames his body like it's an art piece, and Evan hadn't been lying, the world needs more Connor in fancy clothes.

"If my dad knew you convinced to wear one of these he'd shake your hand"

Evan ignores that, grinning from ear to ear.

"You look hot"

"Oh... thanks"

Connor has that one tiny smile he gets whenever Evan says anything nice to him, bashful and pleasantly surprised, Evan gives a sharp nod.

"I'm buying it for you"
"Evan-"
"No, let me, you've done so much for me; this is nothing"

"Ok"

Evan grins and ushers him back into the dressing room, and Connor lets him.
