Turn the lights down low and let the DJ go...

[JOSEPH FRENCH]

Joey hadn't exactly phrased it that way, out loud or even to himself, but that had been where he was going with it. "Well, if you want it to be, yeah. Like a date." He stuttered slightly over his words, trying not to sound like a complete dumbass. If Dorian could even understand him, that in itself would be a miracle.

Joey took Dorian's fidgeting hand, stopping the mindless picking of the boy's shirt, and squeezed it lightly. He smiled reassuringly, his white teeth and slight dimples showing. "That sounds...perfect. Really," He let go of Dorian and scratched at the back of his neck as the blonde responded. He groaned softly and rolled his eyes. Jealousy? Insecurity? What was with Dorian?

"I want to go with you, not Lacey or Bridgette." He paused, scraping his tongue along the roof of his mouth. "I don't like them like I like you," Brilliant, Joey thought, already trying to smooth it over. "Lacey will get drunk and be all over the guys, and I'd spend the whole night keeping her from banging everything that moves. And Bridge is nice, but she's...I dunno. Not you," He joked weakly, forcing out a strangled chuckle. "I'm sure,"

Dorian was about to protest when he heard Joey's slight groan, instead he flushed and looked away bowing his head and focusing intently at a spot on the floor. I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to sound bad, I just wanted to make sure... Dorian cleared his throat and shook his long hair over one shoulder, I really would love to go with you,

Looking back up at Joey he stopped walking and pulled the other to a stop. Leaning forward he kissed Joey softly on the corner of his mouth, glad that the heels meant he didn't have to stand on the tips of his toes. Holding onto Joey's hand once more he walked the rest of the way to the coffee shop just thinking about what he would wear - something nice, that looked really good. But also something that showed he was already with someone.

He opened the door to Starbucks and held it open for Joey, smiling at the other ban and giving him a mock bow as he walked in. Chuckling lightly to himself he stepped up and ordered for himself and then - after asking what Joey wanted - ordered for the other boy too. Making sure that he paid for both of them, he had the money so why not spend it?

He grabbed both of the drinks and lead Joey over to one of the tables by the window. Sitting down gracefully he handed Joey his drink with a smile, leaning back into his chair. I wanna know more about you, tell me about your family, he insisted, leaning forward and batting his long eyelashes.
