Who Rook & Alastair (stfu guis) & Hector (later) Where Rumors Coffee & Tea House What Getting coffee? Running into someone Alastair super doesn't want to see When 01/07 @3:45pm
If Alastair were to honestly evaluate his choices leading up to this point he would have gone back to advise himself not to get involved in this. When he was alone with Rook in his apartment or his own home it was easy to let his base desires take over and just be in the moment. The sex was good--the best he'd had in a long time, actually--and Rook was fun to talk to. It was in public when he felt they needed to stand further apart in case the object of Rook's affection spotted them that it really hit Alastair what was going on. Sure, Rook had invited him for coffee, but he was acutely aware that he wasn't Rook's first choice. Still, he'd crumbled without any fight and agreed to go with him. What a pathetic mess he was to still continue this, feeling how he did. He could take Donovan's advice and just end things. He could tell Rook that he couldn't do this because he'd broken the one rule of casual relationships, but as soon as he saw the other man a smile spread across his lips and he waved at him.
"Sorry," he said once he reached him. "I got caught up talking to students. I hope you weren't waiting too long."
