Dale wasn't entirely sure about being here; he had come mostly because Patrick had seemed as if he really wanted to come and considering they had just been to the cinema to see a film - Dale's choice - he supposed he could oblige.
It wasn't the best idea. Even though the smile on Patrick's face was bright enough to light up London, Dale felt nervous and the overpowering scent of arousal and pretty faces had him uncomfortably hard within a minute of being there. Dale tried to ignore the people who touched Patrick; it was natural that they should wonder where he had been considering it was his fault Patrick hadn't been there in a while.
"You've been missed," he said once they reached the bar.
