Ch. 15: Dinner

Brian's P.O.V

I quickly rushed the stairs of Fred's apartment. I knew I couldn't miss this chance. It's been five bloody years since I've hidden it. Maybe I could get a chance. I don't know...

This is the only day when I can tell him my feelings for him. Firstly, I need to call him, to see if he is available.

I immediately rushed home, opened the door, and got to my telephone, which was lying there on the table. Before I touched it, I tried to think of a way to ask Rog out tonight.

"Would you like to have dinner?"

"I really want to have dinner with you to tell you that I had loved you since '68 and I can't contain myself"

"How about dinner tonight?"

"Are you free tonight?"

The time has quickly passed, and it was already 5:30 P.M. Shit! I need to do this, but fast! I marked Rog's number and waited for an answer.

Roger's P.O.V.

I was already getting ready before calling Bri. The anxiety was evoking over my body, and I started shaking. Rog, you need to tell him, now.

I began dealing Brian's number but then, I got a call.

"Hello? This is Roger Taylor speaking."

"H-hi Rog."

Oh my god, it was Bri.

Was he going to ask me out?

No! Don't start hallucinating Rog, just wait and listen.

"Hey Bri! How are you?"

"I-I'm good. Hey, are you free tonight?"

Wait.

Am I dreaming?

Is this a fantasy?

"Yeah definitely! Why?"

Well, I was just wondering if you could go to dinner with me. N-not a date really."

"I'd really love to!" Is this a dream?

"Great! Can I pick you up at 7?"

"Yeah of course! See you there."

"Byeeee"

I can't believe this, at all.

He asked me out, but why?

Brian's P.O.V.

Oh my god....

I can't believe he accepted.

There was a massive blush in my face and my heart was beating and beating. It was already late now, and I needed to get ready for tonight. I quickly rushed to the bathroom and took a shower. After that, I wrapped a towel around my waist and went into my room to chose something to wear. Since it wasn't going to be anything so fancy, I went for a white, button up shirt and some tight black jeans, along with some white clogs I found. Again, I rushed to the bathroom and applied some cologne on. Within 45 minutes, I was ready to go.

It was 6:15 P.M., so it was pretty early. To relax and cool out a bit, I went out on a walk. The sunset tonight was filled with multiple colours. Tones of purple, orange, blue and red were scattered all around the sky, like waves from the sea. The sky was mostly clear, and the wind was cold, but soft at the same time. It was gorgeous, just gorgeous.

I realised it was 6:45 P.M.. by looking at my watch. Fuck! I need to get Rog. Good thing My car was a few blocks away, but I still needed to hurry. Walking as fast as I could, I jumped in my car and rushed to Roger's flat, which was only a few minutes away. After I got there, I knocked on the door, and Roger received it. He was wearing a blue button up and some jeans.

"Good evening," I awkwardly greeted, "Looking good Mr. Taylor."

"Well thank you, Mr. May." I chuckled a little bit. He went out the door and I lead him into my car.

"So, where do you want to go?" I asked.

"I don't know really, wherever you'd like."

"We could go to this place called New Tokyo. It has Japanese food, but it's really good."

"Yeah, let's go there." We smiled at each other, blushing a bit. I started the car and began heading to the place, which was around 15 minutes away. During the ride, we talked about thing that came to mind, like music, the band, etc. We got there and got down. The place was quite fancy for my taste, but it was fine The sushi they served there was delicious, and the music was beautiful.

"This is the place." Roger looked around the place and we both headed inside, making our way to a table, just for two.

Ok Brian, you need to calm down. Eventually, you'll mention it, but not so soon. The atmosphere needs to be appropriate enough and you need to engage him to a conversation.

"I actually like this place a lot, really," Rog said, "I did't know you liked Japanese food."

"It is really nice. You know, you should order some sushi, it is spectacular."

"Really? Ok, I'll take it then, because my best friend has advised me to."

Best Friend..

A few seconds later, a waitress approached our table. "Good evening gentlemen, here are your menus." My eyes were only focused on Roger's beautiful face. The blush around my face spread more and more. Using the menu, I covered my face with it. After a few minutes, the waitress came and made our orders. I ordered some vegetarian sushi and Roger ordered sushi too. It had some weird fish it in.

"Y'know, we should come here more often," he suggested, "The place looks so cozy on the inside, and I bet the food is spectacular."

"You're right, we should come more often. It's really nice here, especially when I'm with you." There was a massive blush across his face. It was so adorable.

Minutes had passed quickly, and our orders finally came. The sushi in our dishes look delicious. Apparently, Roger, was having some trouble with the chopsticks.

"Come here, you hold them like this." I grabbed his fingers and positioned them so he could hold the chopsticks correctly. At first, we didn't want to let go off of each others fingers. The gaze in his eyes were so unforgettable.

"Thank you Brian," he smiled. We ate our sushi rolls and began talking and laughing, a lot, and trying my best to dig into the subject, slowly. The sushi rolls were spectacular. After a few minutes, it was time for the truth.
