002. It's A Date

Jonas

Jonas was not fine. He was definitely and totally not fine. He tripped twice on the way to the cafe trying to check his messages after getting a notification only to discover that it was his father both times. He also came a little too early only serving to make him look way to eager as he was left waiting in the cafe alone with one eye on the door and the other on his phone.

A buzzing started in Jonas' back pocket that tickled a little. Lifting his leg he pulled it out of his pocket to check the message only to frown at the screen and toss it onto the table with a huff. It was David again. Jonas didn't tell Nick about his little "apologetic lunch" Cause he knew the man would make assumptions and try to give him "the talk", something he first heard in ninth grade and was hoping he'd never have to hear again but God forbid Nick and David ever let him be. Jesus he could talk to an attractive guy without wanting to have sex, something they were slowly coming to terms with.

The message asked if the guy had shown up yet, for the fifth time in only a ten minute time span. Jonas didn't expect him to come on time and though he was a little annoyed he found David's prodding to be more annoying.

"No, christ. It's only been ten minutes just chill out," he dictated, mumbling as he typed the text. "I swear, this man is gonna be the death of me."

"Are you talking to yourself?"

Jonas snapped his head up at this, face flushed as he sputtered out a "No, whywouldibetalkingtomyself" as he shoved his phone back into his pocket.

Sky looked... Nice. He had his black hair pushed back and out of his face and kept running his fingers through it as he licked his lips before gesturing to the seat across from Jonas, "Can I sit here?"

"Yeah that's fine," Jonas shrugged, not really sure how these things were supposed to go. He'd never actually been invited to an "apologetic lunch" nor had he ever invited someone himself so he figured it would be like lunch between new friends. That was until Sky came into the Cafe looking like a total dream boat with his sleeves rolled up.

After they ordered their drinks they were left to wait. Clearing his throat Jonas asked how Sky's day had been, hoping that making small talk would help make things less awkward and it worked for a while until Sky's lips curved into an easy smile he started asking about Jonas' day.

"You wouldn't wanna really hear about my day, my life's pretty boring," Jonas said, trying to change the subject.

"I really do actually." Sky leaned forward, resting his chin in his hand as he waited for Jonas to continue.

"You're serious?"

"Very? You know what, how bout I make a confession first?"

Nodding his head Jonas sat back in his seat. "Be my guest please."

"Well... To be honest I was a little reluctant to come out here today," Sky admitted, before the waitress came back with their drinks. He flashed her a smile that had her hooking a strand of hair behind her ear before scurrying back to where she'd come from, a cute bashful little smile lighting up her own features as she ducked her head.

"You didn't wanna come?" Jonas raised a brow, picking his cup up off the table.

Sky shook his head. "Not really. I've been in a bit of a slump lately. All I ever do is go to work, stop by the laundromat to wash my clothes cause my dryer's broken, and then I just lounge around at home."

"You haven't tried going out to talk to any friends?" Jonas asked, frowning at the man across from him.

"Nope," Sky shook his head.
