in that case, it's most definitely a real date.

i've never told anyone before, you know. so i guess that makes you special.

[sippy_cup]

Really?

(( Then, after a delay: ))

I won't tell anyone.

[checkouts]

thanks
there's people at work who know but they're also ummm
different?
most of the people that work there are.
but my family doesn't know.

[sippy_cup]

You're safe with me.

[checkouts]

thank you. i appreciate it.

now imagine me circling this back to something sexy and flirty because i hate talking about my feelings lol

[sippy_cup]

Anything you want to 'watch' during Netflix and chill time?/span>

[checkouts]

i heard one piece is rlly good.
hot pirates.
yarr. 🏴‍☠️

( yeah, he's trolling. )

[sippy_cup]

Uh-oh. Are you going to want me to cosplay to be sexier?

[checkouts]

nah, you're sexy enough. 😌

[sippy_cup]

🤭🤭🤭 flatterer~

[checkouts]

it's quite literally the least i can do. 😋
this shift feels like it's taking the rest of my eternal life to be over.

[sippy_cup]

want me to come visit?

[checkouts]

i'd never get anything done!
are you excited or something? 😋

[sippy_cup]

(( SO. MUCH. BLUSHING! ))

maybe a little.

[checkouts]

what part are you most excited for hmmmmm?
🤔

[sippy_cup]

(( The make-outs, ofc! Maybe a little nibble? ))

how can you ask that when I don't know what to expect? this is our first date!

[checkouts]

i'm just trying to do a little reconnaissance here lololol
make sure i meet your expectations.

[sippy_cup]

we're really doing Netflix and chill right? like the connotation of it, not the literal version?

(( Please, please, please. He really wants to snuggle and such, Ash! ))

[checkouts]

yes, i'll forgo the hot pirates today.
i think my attention would be better suited elsewhere.

[sippy_cup]

(( YAY! ))

hot pirates next time. you have my word.

[checkouts]

only a little while longer.
my room here is very nice.

(( Not at long as Ash thinks.

Oh, look who comes wandering into the lobby. And all dressed up, too! (His original plans were work-related, after all. If Ash declined his offer to hang out, he would've showered and curled up in his sweats. Alas, gotta look nice for a date! ))

Very nice, huh?

[checkouts]

( it isn't often that ash is rendered speechless, and yet.

his eyes widen the moment the automatic doors open and gavi strolls inside, standing up far too abruptly as he approaches the desk, rolling chair rattling a little in the process. why does his mouth feel so dry all of a sudden? why does his throat ache with thirst when he'd fed two days ago? where did that cozy, fluffy boy go?

he clears his throat. ) If you think mid-range hotel rooms are very nice, then yes.

( he's keeping it very cool. ) I have to go clock out — I'll be right back. ( and ash disappears behind a door in a flash, mostly to scream internally, but also to clock out. when he returns, it's through a different door that leads to the lobby. with a small smile, he offers his hand, gesturing to the elevators. ) Shall we?

[sippy_cup]

(( Listen, Ash isn't the only one freaking out inside. Gavi may have learned how to control his expressions but he can't stop his heart from pounding and -- UGH -- vampires can usually hear that! You'd think he'd be better at keeping his cool since he works with vampires nightly. Or maybe he's just extra nervous because this is a personal rendezvous, not just something transactional.

Okay, Gavi, just take a deep breath. Breathe.

When Ash comes back from screaming internally clocking out, Gavi smiles warmly and nods at the invitation. ))

Do you stay here a lot?

(( With other people? goes unspoken. ))

[checkouts]

( in all honesty, ash does hear gavi's quickening heartbeat in his ears — except he thinks that it's his. he's fresh enough to to this life that he sometimes ... forgets that his heart doesn't beat anymore. he's unsubtle about the way he reaches for gavi's hand, interlinking their fingers together and he leads them into an elevator, pressing the button for the eleventh floor.

it's easier for ash to keep his wits about him standing beside him since looking at gavi all made up and in that outfit is like staring into the sun. sure, a sideways glance reminds ash how much taller gavi is than him, makes him think about how much he'd like to end up tangled up in him — )

Oh, I live here. It's part of my employment contract since I needed something a little more ... private than my childhood bedroom once things changed for me.

( casual. very casual. )
