Almond eyes widened, mouth hanging open. "Wh-what?" Joel stuttered. "
No...Don't leave, please, I didn't mean to..." Vic turned and looked at Joel just as he grabbed his shoulders. Adrenaline rushed through Vic's veins, turning them into fire; this was unexpected. He stared into Joel's face, trying to find what lay there. He found panic. He can't be the upset about me leaving, can he? He hardly even knows me, Vic thought. Joel started tugging at his shoulders. What the hell...? Vic was tempted to shout "Okay, okay! I won't leave!" but he stayed silent, for fear of being seen as...he didn't know what, but it was bad, intimidated him. Then Joel's slender arms came around him, tight and possessive. If he had tried to get away, he wouldn't have been able to..not that he wanted to get away. Vic blinked, not knowing if he should hug back or not. Indecision had him for a few seconds it seemed and in that time Joel let go, sliding his smooth hands down Vic's probably scratched up arms. Vic looked at the young man, a smile twitching at his lips. Joel was biting his lip. "Sorry." Joel sounded like he meant it. Why? Why?! Vic wanted to know.
The smile finally came through. "It's fine." He smirked at Joel. "Well...shall we get to know each other?" He raised his eyebrows at Joel, trying to judge his reaction. What the heck? I'm not usually this straightforward..EVER, Vic thought. Hmm...well, a cafe? Already said it, so let's just keep on with it! was Vic's reasoning as to why he didn't shut up right then and there. "How about a cafe? Now?" Vic grinned a perfect smile from 4 years of braces, hoping it had the desired effect.
