For JustReadingShit and -lordcamacho <3 This isn't at all what I was expecting to write but it's what came out so I hope you guys like it!

🌈🌈🌈

Richard: So you're free to meet up on Friday?

Chris: Yeah, let's do it :) Does it sound good if I take you out for dinner?

Richard: Pick me up at 7, I'll send you my address

Chris: Okay great! Can't wait to finally meet you

Richard: Me neither babe, I'm looking forward to it 💕

Chris sighs as he puts down the phone. He reaches from his bed across the short distance to his desk, where he cracks open the window, his only way of getting some cool air since his air conditioning broke. He really does want to meet Richard. He has ever since the day they started talking through the dating app. But what is Richard going to do when he finds out what Chris's life is actually like?

🌈🌈🌈

"Erick, I'm scared. I can't do this."

Erick had been expecting this call from his best friend. It's 7:00 on Friday night, which means Chris is supposed to be picking up his date at any minute now. For Chris, first dates always mean internal panic and a call to Erick before he can go meet the guy, so Erick had made sure to be available to save him from his self-sabotaging nerves.

"What? What's up?" Erick asks into the phone.

"It's just...it's so big," is Chris's response.

Erick raises his eyebrows, amused. "I'm sorry, are you calling me in the middle of sex? Isn't it a little soon for that?"

Chris immediately goes red when he realizes the double meaning of his words, and he thanks God Erick can't see him right now or he would be teased endlessly. "No, shut up, not that. I meant his house. It's...enormous."

"His house is enormous," Erick repeats without emotion in his voice, not sure where Chris is going with this. "Are you afraid you're gonna get lost or something? All you have to do is find the front door."

"Will you just shut up for a second?" Chris snaps, then relents. "Sorry, I'm just...really nervous right now. I'm parked on the side of the road outside and I can see it, it's literally an entire mansion. The driveway looks like a whole road. There's even a bridge! I swear I've never seen a house like this in my life."

"Damn, you really know how to pick a guy, huh," Erick says, chuckling to himself. "You should move in with him already."

At this, Chris can't help but let out a little laugh, even though it comes out strained. But then he continues, "I just don't think I'm going to be what he expects, you know?"

Erick sighs. "It's because of the money, right?" He's met with an affirming silence on the other end of the line. "Look, you've been talking online for how long? Three weeks? You both know you like each other, and that's all you have to worry about. It's gonna be fine."

"But—"

"Shhh," Erick interrupts. "If this...Roberto guy doesn't like you for who you are, then he's an idiot and he isn't worth your time. Just go for it and see what happens."

"His name is Richard," Chris says, rolling his eyes but unable to hold back a smile.

"That's not the point, the point is that you need to suck it up and go on this date."
