I'll sail back to you

[boughtstockinsocks]

ALWAYS COME BACK They may be a rambler, a gambler, always on the run, a wanted criminal, someone with a higher calling, or just not the type to spend time with you (which may be fine by you), yet somehow, they'll always find their way back to your door. And they'll, again and again, find themselves wanting you, for support, for healing, for feeling alive, for venting frustration and anger, for anything and everything at all. You'll welcome them with open arms. Comment: prefs, info, preferred role, etc. Reply: to others. Thread: with them.

It doesn't seem overeager. If it is, then Archie's just as overeager.

Fantastic! Maybe brunch? Around ten?

( ˘ ³˘)♥

It's brunch. It's not a date. It's something that might well involve other people--wonderful other people, Archie's people, people Horatio would also be terribly glad to see.

It still makes him chew his lower lip before his sheer desire to see Archie has him typing again.

I'll be there.

Things are good?

♥♥♥

[barderalready]

Awesome!

They really are. Even more so, now Horatio's texted him again. What about you? How have things been?

[hotspurs]

It is awesome. It's very, very awesome.

They've been keeping us busy. Definitely nice to have some time off.

Speaking of, let me know when you have your next show dates. The earlier I ask for leave, the more likely it gets approved.

[barderalready]

Well. That's surprising. And entirely sweet.

For real? It's not for another couple months.

[hotspurs]

Something to look forward to, then.

Maybe this is too much. Maybe friends didn't make these sorts of plans this far in advance.

No pressure. Just if you think of it.

[barderalready]

No pressure felt, believe me! I'd be happy to see you, honestly.

[hotspurs]

Saturday ought to help with that.

Bring you anything?

[barderalready]

That's true!

Just you. :)

[hotspurs]

Okay. Okay. Give him like.

Ten minutes to grab Bill and ask if this is a flirting smile or just a smile.

Maybe twelve.

If you're sure. I'd hate to be a bad guest.

[barderalready]

Acceptable. Acceptable but also maybe a slight amount of nerves.

You wouldn't be a bad guest.

I'd hope maybe you'd like to be a great date, though.

That's. Hopefully clear and hopefully acceptable???

[hotspurs]

Bill is on hand, but that's a much clearer message.

I'd like to be a superb date. I might need pointers.

[barderalready]

I can definitely give pointers, if you're really so eager.

[hotspurs]

This one he really should check. This one isn't at all coming remotely cool.

I'm eager.

Not at all nailed it.

[barderalready]

And yet, somehow nailed it enough.

Let's start with brunch on Saturday, then. It'll be much easier to give you tips when I can actually see you.

[hotspurs]

Any advance pointers on what to wear?

[barderalready]

Whatever you're comfortable in! I just want us to have fun.

[hotspurs]

You're always fun, Archie.

[barderalready]

:) Thanks, Horatio. Likewise.

[hotspurs]

Okay. He's managed. He's absolutely managed. Now to just psych himself up for Saturday.

I'll see you soon, then.

Looking forward to it.

[barderalready]

Me, too! :)

[hotspurs]

He can leave it at that. He can completely leave it at that.

Or, at any rate, he can leave it at that until he's actually stretching out on his apartment's couch the next day.

Just got in. Still on for brunch tomorrow?

#smooth

[barderalready]

Much smooth. Very wow.

Absolutely! Have you missed any food in particular?

[hotspurs]

Honestly, proper coffee more than anything else.

[barderalready]

Well, that's simple enough! I'll pick somewhere with really good coffee.

Do you wanna meet at whatever place or should I pick you up? Or you can pick me up, whichever?
