Wayne and Justin
WHO: Justin and Wayne
WHEN: Saturday afternoon
WHERE: Cinema, then some dinner and maybe Justin's place?
WHAT: Just going out as friends.
RATING: R. Of course there will be swearing.
STATUS:

Justin sat down beside Wayne and grinned. This was going to be an amazing movie, he thought. He looked at his friend and wished Rhys could be there with them to see this, but maybe they could come back later? Or at least, maybe he could get the dvd to watch it with the kid. They seemed to be getting along and he wondered if he should ask Wayne about it.

"Hey," He started lamely. They'd been talking since they had met up at the cinema, but for some reason he was starting to feel uncomfortable about asking this to his friend. "How did Rhys like his Halloween?" He asked innocently enough. "Was it his first Halloween in our community?" He wasn't stupid, he was surrounded by Muggles, he couldn't really talk about magic there.

Wayne shifted, making himself comfortable in the seat across from Justin. He could still feel a bit of tension between them, but hopefully he hadn't mucked things up too badly.

"Justin," he sighed, "What on God's green earth do you have to be sorry for?" If anyone should be sorry, it was Wayne, though he wasn't quite sure how to articulate that either.

Wait.

Was this a date?

Was this a date, and that's why Justin was so glum? Because he thought Wayne had blown him off? Blown him OFF, not blown...oh for fuck's sake.

"I'm sorry I bugge--bugged you into talking about our school days. Everyone has crushes from their teens - hell, I had a crush on almost everyone at one point. But don't think that'll make me not be your mate, Justin."

Sometimes, it seemed like 'I'm sorry' was Justin's default setting. He relaxed slightly and chewed his lower lip a little. "I hadn't really talked about it to anyone except.." He shrugged. "Ernie, Susan and Hannah." He winced, realizing that it sounded terrible that so many people knew, but to be fair though, it would have been hard to hide from those closest to him.

He didn't have the heart to tell Wayne that it had really been more than a matter of having a crush on anything with a pulse. Justin had never had feelings for anyone before Wayne and since then.. there was Seamus. "It's not just that. It's very complicated."

Justin looked at Wayne and gave him a small smile. He was very close to a few friends, but Wayne was special. There was an intensity between them that had made all these years apart disappear. "I missed you."

Wayne's heart swelled when he heard the people Justin had been able to talk to - it was great that he had so many people he could open up to without judgement. Wayne was glad Justin counted him in that group...that is, if he did. Wayne wasn't sure.

"Well, I'm always here to listen, now, too," he assured Justin. Even though they missed out on a wealth of shared life experiences, that wouldn't stop Wayne from empathizing.

"I missed you too, mate," he responded sincerely. And he had. Well - he had and hadn't. Wayne figured it was one of those things where you don't know what you're missing until you have it again.

Justin, before his brain could tell him that it was a terrible idea, reached out and took Wayne's hand. "Don't shut me out." He whispered, hoping Wayne would understand what he meant. After Wayne didn't come back, he had hoped his friend would at least contact them, but he hadn't.

He chewed on his lower lip, begging with his eyes for Wayne to please, please not to this again. "I will always be there for you and I wish.. I really want you to know that I never abandoned you." A tightness took his chest and his breath felt heavy and laborious.

"Justin." Wayne breathed his mate's name in a sigh, and paused, not sure what to say, or how to say it.

He'd figure it out as he went.

"I didn't mean to abandon you," he confessed. "I just got...bogged down. But I'm not going anywhere this time. At least," he forced a chuckle, "not on purpose."

So much for attempting levity.

He had wronged Justin, though. It was a step.

"Please know that I'm not perfect." He laughed that time -- it was almost hilarious how obvious that statement was. "But I'm trying. I'm trying to make up for all the times I...was somewhere else. Amends."

Justin, he believed, would know.

"So don't go posting ads in the paper for new friends, kay? 'Cause I'm not going anywhere."
