@ROSESANDMETAL < you close with them?❞ Times like this were probably the best to get to know him. So he would start off with some easy small talk, then see what the vibe is from there.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀God, he just hoped he didn’t look or sound too awkward. . .

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀❝Ah— yeah, I haven’t told when my birthday was, have I. . .?❞
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Scratching the back of his head. . . Whoops.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ❝I was thinking of just going somewhere, you and me?❞

⠀" Ah-- birthday dinner? "
In all fairness, could he be blamed for not knowing it was Elias' birthday today when he had never been told when his birthday was?
" I mean, sure! Did you want to go out someplace or eat here? "

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀❝Admittedly, I don’t really come here often. And the last time I was here, I was still in community college. Which was years ago.❞ He says whilst looking down at his cocktail. A simple vodka strawberry lemonade for him.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀❝What’s your family like? Are >
@OfDarlingCharm < in a foul mood when he was told he’d be on tour again. And then he’d come home with bags under his eyes and his muscles tense from so much performing. It can’t be easy for him.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀❝Whaddya say we take a hot bath and watch a movie in bed?❞

@OfDarlingCharm < But according to label managers, dating is bad— and an extra person is just an unnecessary expense.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There wasn’t anything wrong with the alone time on his end, and he and Honey have bonded considerably. It was Jae he was worried about. He always looked like he was >
@OfDarlingCharm < dark chocolate eyes studying Jae’s own caramel hues. The ones that shined so much brighter in person than in his photos.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀❝Hey, handsome ~ . Im glad you’re home safe. You must be exhausted.❞
@OfDarlingCharm ⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀It was something Elias would have to get used to. Jae’s a star, after all. He would always give him that grace— as long as he was the person he would come home to in the end.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀He would turn around and wind his arms around the taller man’s shoulders, >
@ROSESANDMETAL ⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀❝Sounds good to me.❞ He says with a smile. Technically this was their first official date. And on his birthday, of all days. Elias was a very simple guy, so it couldn’t really get any better as far as he was concerned.
