babe won't you do me like ya done before

(rami malek voice) ......hi.

roger spent the next 20 minutes hugging every single one of his stuffed animals (yet again this is roger we're talking about) and squealing, stopping to look in the mirror, tilt his head at himself and smile a little, before breaking down in giggles.

sighing, he heard his phone buzz and found that brian had texted him the address of the cafe. a place called sente, downtown near to where he worked. he had passed it once and it had looked pretty cute place for a dat-

buzz buzz

picking up his phone. roger saw yet another text from brian.

bri <3
is 1 p.m. a good time for you?

roger smiled and typed out a message.

sure! :) see you there!

less than thirty seconds later he got another text.

bri <3
it's a date!

roger could have thrown his fucking phone across the room. running to the bathroom, he decided he had awhile to get ready, why not paint his nails?

opening the drawer and finding the same light pink shade freddie had used last night, he walked back over to his bed and pulled up a vine compilation on youtube, watching while he painted his nails. at some point, one of freddie's cats made her way into his room and sat on his lap, purring. roger really wanted to stay there a while longer and finish the 27 minute video, but he had to look presentable at the least.

tousling his hair and applying some of his chapstick, cherry scented, he walked into his closet again and pulled out a yellow cropped t-shirt and light denim ripped jeans. settling on vans instead of his usual death-defying heels, roger dressed himself and lounged back down on his bed.

before long, he was done texting rami various memes and giggling at the replies, and it was time for him to go. walking out of the house, roger glanced in the mirror on the wall and tousled his hair again. talking a deep breath and smiling at himself, let's do this.

getting in his beloved car, roger made his way downtown.

10 minutes later

sitting at a little table in a chair, back in the corner of the cafe, next to the window was brian may. looking through his phone, he was patiently waiting for rogah.

ding

the bell on the glass door rang, causing brian to look up and smile. roger taylor looked around the shop before laying his baby blue eyes on brian, his face lighting up when he saw the older man, whose heart soared in happinesses he curtly waved him over.

as roger walked towards the table, as elegant as ever, a billion thoughts flashed through both of their heads.

why did roger show up? he probably has a ton of guys after him. he probably wants something from me. oh well, i'm happy he's here. or for roger; eEEEEEE BRIAN!!!!! <3 wonder if they have cotton candy lattes here.

spotting brian sitting at the table, roger's stomach erupted in butterflies, alas he kept his cool. as he strolled over to the table, brian waved at him.  "hello roger" he spoke with a smile.

brian is adorable, but this isn't a fucking job interview, may! roger decided to give it all he got, leaning up against the table so that he was eye-to-eye with the taller man, a feat proving quite difficult.

slightly fluttering his eyelashes, he looked deep into brian's eyes and spoke four words.

"how've you been, babe?" he tilted his head just a tad.

brian's face flushed slightly, he shifted in his seat again before speaking. "i'm doing all right actually...m-mostly because of... you."

roger cocked his head in the other direction, smiling at how flustered brian became around him. "that's great dear." he smiled at him, and he smiled back.

he took this opportunity to slide into one of the tall barstool-esque chairs, spinning around a little so he sat sideways. brian picked up one of the little stand-up menus and handed one to roger. "here you go."
"thanks bri."

after about a minute of awkward silence, both boys had their orders figured out and roger waved over the waiter. brian turned to the blonde "also, I'm paying darling."
roger batted his eyelashes at him "such a gentleman." he said before turning to the waiter and ordering.

while waiting for their drinks they made casual small talk, asking mediocre things about each other, talking about college and work (brian was studying something about stars but roger couldn't remember what!) or talking about their eerily similar roommates, rami and freddie.

brian would stop and stare at roger every few seconds, wondering in awe how a boy could be so beautiful, so happy. roger would catch him staring and laugh at how damn cute he was every once in a while.

at some point while they were talking brian entwined their fingers together, just slightly touching. it felt so natural to roger, he hardly noticed until he tried to move his hand. looking up at brian and seeing him smile with the corners of his eyes crinkling set off sparks inside the younger boy. leaning across the table for a gentle kiss, the first of today, roger thought of all that was to come if he was to stay with brian. he could tell that the older man meant no harm to him, something that greatly relieved him.

nearly an hour later, afternoon was turning to late afternoon and to their regret, it was time for both boys to be on their way, roger to work and brian to classes. he walked roger out to the blond's car, kissing him again when no one was looking, slow and sweet. roger savored every moment of it.

afterwards, brian walked off to his car, grinning before he brought his hand up to his ear, representing a phone, mouthing "call me" at the blond as he got in.
