Characters: Ryan Stebbins & Justin Finch-Fletchley Setting: Leaky. October 27th, afternoon. Rating: TBA Summary: Justin is concerned about Ryan's intentions...
It was Wednesday. Usually Ryan would have been working but he’d taken the day so he could finish with his Hallow’s Eve preparations. Not that he didn’t already have multiple vampire costumes but he enjoyed adding to his collection, so he’d purposefully spent the day visiting his favorite shops in case he found something new. As well, he’d also picked up a few things for Susan, since she’d wanted to see the sort of items he picked out before wearing them. Meeting her for lunch at the Leaky, they’d taken Mystery Stew up to her room, along with his purchases for her inspection. Personally, he thought his selections were fairly good, though it had been difficult to find something that was conservative enough she’d agree to wear it, and, yet, appealing to be seen in.
After distracting her from her food long enough to get a few snogs in, it had been time for her to go. Of course he’d expected her to have to leave in a hurry, but that didn’t mean he was at all thrilled about it. Leaving the costume items spread out across her bed, Ryan had walked her down to the exit of the Leaky into London, bidding fair well with another stolen kiss before turning around, intent on spending the rest of his free day with good beer.
Walking up to the bar, he plopped down on the nearest available stool, and waved down Tom. Once the amber liquid was in front of him, he began sipping on it as he scanned the crowd, looking for someone to talk to. The lunch rush had already ended, so the pub wasn’t that populated. However, when he noticed Justin coming toward him, he waved, offering the other boy a grin. They’d had a pleasant conversation last time Ryan had been in here and he saw no reason why it couldn’t happen again.
