Where: Bertholdt's Apartment
When: Friday, August 23rd

[Bertholdt had been waiting nervously ever since Ryan had told him he had off this evening and was coming over to his apartment to make them dinner. He almost felt bad, having Ryan cook... but he had offered. So he had spent most of the day tidying up his cluttered apartment, making it look nice, before showering and dressing in something besides sweatpants. His usual attire wasn't much better, still a comfy pair of slacks and a button down shirt with a chunky sweater thrown over it. He just hoped Ryan never expected anything fancy from him... He was too set in his ways to worry about that. Fancy things didn't suit his gawky frame anyway.]

[Still thinking about that, putting away his current manuscript folder, he heard the intercom buzz and blushed automatically, running to hit the button as sweat rolled down his face.]

Uh, Ryan? You can... uh... just come up.

Woah, you okay? You look like you saw a ghost.

[ Ryan gives his cooking pause-- worried he's done something wrong. ]

Was that not alright?

Edited 2013-09-09 03:30 (UTC)

No... no, it's fine... since it's you.

[He looks a little out of it.]

I don't know why... I-I just felt something just now...

On your neck?

[ Ryan puts down what he was doing, going over to touch the back of Bertholdt's neck again. Inspecting it, maybe. ]

Or was it an echo...?

It just... felt strange, all of a sudden...

[He shivers at the touch, having to resist reaching back to stop him.]

Like... I just want to cover it up...

[ Ryan's not gonna question it. If it's making Bertholdt uncomfortable, he'll stop. He slides his hand to Bertholdt's shoulder, squeezing softly. ]

You wanna try a scarf? Or I guess if you had a button-up, you could button it that high.

Not... not right now, it's okay. I trust you...

[He rubs his neck a little himself, relaxing when he covers his nape with his hand and not knowing why.]

I don't get it...

Must be an echo or something leftover from... before.

[ Ryan leans over to kiss Bertholdt's jaw this time. ]

We'll figure it out, together. Once we finish dinner, you wanna go over what we remember? Maybe it'll make more sense.

Yeah... we should uh, make a list or something.

[He nods, and his nervousness slowly ebbs back down so they can finish dinner, plate it up, and take it into the living room to eat because Bertholdt's kitchen isn't that big and he doesn't have a dining room table.]

Looks good...

Mm-hm. Eat up, I made enough so there'd be leftovers.

[ Ryan carries his plate to the couch, sitting down and motioning for Bertholdt to join him. It's nice, just the two of them like this. It kinda makes Ryan wish he could visit all the time (though it's probably way too soon for thoughts like that.) ]

You'll have rice for the rest of the week.

[ Gosh, what a great housewife. ]

Oh.... o-oh, that's so nice of you.

[He blushes again, sitting close with him as he eats. He's slow about it, like everything else he does, savoring every bite.]

It's no problem. This way it'll be like I made dinner for you every day, heh.

[ Wow okay, cue a bit of an awkward laugh. ]

Sorry, that sounded super cheesy. I guess I'm a little nervous.

I wouldn't mind.

If I made dinner for you?

[ Ryan nudges Bertholdt a bit, smiling sheepishly. ]

I sure wouldn't mind seeing you more often, that's for sure.

I-if you uh, if you want to!

[He blushes brightly, looking away.]

I-I don't mind, either w-way...

That would be nice... [ Ugh, he just wants to spend all his time with you, Bertholdt. What is this feeling... ]

Too bad I have work, or I'd come see you every day.

[ Not creepy, right...? ]

Well... we still have texting and stuff, right?

[He smiles a little.]

I-I could always... come visit you too, for a while. Or isn't that allowed...?

Yeah. Day and night, you can always text me.

[ Nudging Bertholdt with his elbow, Ryan smiles. ]

You should totally come visit me! I already talk about nonstop, so I'm sure the guys would love to meet you.

You... y-you talk about me? About what...?

[He's so boring! He's sure they all think he's a bad choice........]

About how you're so snarky, and cute and how you're always there to listen to me... Only good stuff, I promise.

[ Really, Ryan loves all these things. ]

I'm.... I-I'm---

You think I'm snarky....?

Little bit. It's really cute, though! Honest. I think it's hilarious.

[ Sassy boyfriend more like best boyfriend. ]

That's... that's not usually a compliment though....

I think it's really kinda sweet. The way you are over text versus in person is really surprising, but I love it when you don't hold back.

[ That's a compliment, right? ]

I... I know I can, uh, get kind of mean..........

[What's taking a compliment? Bertholdt doesn't know.]
