David's mother had hugged him and wished him luck as he left the house. Leaving at 11:15 meant that hopefully the train would get him to the studio by noon, but she didn't need to be there nearly so early. Thankfully, the trains were, in fact, running on time, and David blew into the studio a bit before noon. The exhibition didn't start until 2, but they needed time to get ready, stretch, warm up, and rehearse at least once before they went on.

He made his way backstage, which was utter chaos. Someone was playing a song from the Hamilton soundtrack, makeup and hairspray were mingling to form a cloud in the air, and there was a hum of frantic, excited energy that permeated the place. David pulled on his tights and shirt for their first number, checking that his shoes, top, and leggings were safely tucked away for their trio about three-fourths of the way through the show. He flexed his feet a few times. His legs were going to be put through their paces today, but he was ready for it.

Around 1:30, Jamie pulled up to a parking spot a few blocks away from the studio, having cut someone off to get it, because gods knew he didn't want to park even further away. They leaned on their horn and swore, but he just flipped them off and shut off the car. He'd volunteered to drive, mostly because he'd been able to borrow Aidan's car, which could fit everyone, even if it was a bit of a squeeze. At least no one had to sit on top of anyone else.

"Alright, everyone out, he declared. "Roxie, which way are we going? I got all turned around trying to find somewhere to park."

"I'm on it," she replied, plugging the address into Google Maps. After a few moments, she turned and pointed. "That way," she told everyone, and she set off at a brisk clip.

	Jayden had spent the final part of the ride hiding behind his eyes because Jamie was much more aggressive than he was, but once the car was parked, he was fine. He piled out with his friends and skipped up to Roxanna's side. "My boyfriend is going to be so cute!" he said with a grin. (Reply to this) (Thread)

"I'm pretty sure that's a given," Roxanna replied, linking arms with him as they headed down the street. "I love watching his company dance, it's always a good show."

Jamie loped behind them, keeping pace fairly easily. "I just hope that asshole doesn't come back and do something to Aidan's car, I really can't afford to fix it right now."

"I don't think he'd be all that mad, but fair enough," Roxanna replied, turning to look at him. (But briefly, so she didn't run into anyone or derail the pair of them.)

	Jayden considered that as they walked and then he said, "Nicky would help! He has lots of money and he doesn't care. So no worries. I'm so excited!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Still, I'll try not to run up a bill," Jamie said dryly.

"Me too!" Roxanna chirped, holding the door open as they finally reached the studio. There was already a crowd of people milling about, chatting and looking for seats. Jamie waded through the crowd, and managed to find five seats that were, miraculously, all next to each other.

He looked up, whistled, and Roxanna waved. "God, it's good being friends with tall, aggressive people," she laughed, leading the way down the aisle.

Julia, who had been strangely silent the entire time, took a seat next to her sister and then eyed the crowd with a discerning eye. "I'm scoping for hotties," she laughed. "If Jayden can do it, so can I."

"I did rather luck out," Jayden grinned. He sat, and Phantasos promptly seated himself in Jayden's lap, wrapping his arms around Jayden's neck with a grin.

"You did. And look how cute and happy you are!"

"Oh god, you sound like my brothers," Jayden laughed.

Roxanna snorted. "Well find a good one, then I get to play 'silently judging you sister'. For shits and giggles."

"Or me," she continued, grinning over at the pair of them. "Jamie, come on, sit down."

Jamie took the seat, on the other side of Jayden, holding the final empty one by putting his legs on it. "I'll keep an eye out too," he said, finally cracking a small smile. "Who knows? Maybe I'll get lucky."

	Julia cackled and continued to search the crowd for hoties. Phantasos grinned at Jamie and said, "maybe I should be sitting on your lap then! That's lucky, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Fuck yeah it is," Jamie laughed, swinging back around so there'd be an actual 'lap' for Phantasos to sit on. "Although if my leg falls asleep, into the chair for you, mister." Roxanna just laughed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Phantasos squealed and hopped right into Jamie's lap with a laugh. "Wheeee!"

"Awww, now my lap is cold," Jayden giggled. "Are there concessions? Is this a concession thing? I'm snacky..."

Julia glanced over with a wry smile, "I have a certain kind of concessions with me, but I assume you want your mind clear for your boyfriend's showcase?"

Jayden snorted and nodded. "I think that'd be for the best!"

Jamie burrowed his face into Phantasos' chest. "You smell good," he informed him. "This pleases me."

Roxanna snorted as well. "Save that for later," she told Julia. "And yeah, I think there's a stand selling drinks and cookies out in the lobby." She rooted around in her purse. "If you're going, could you get me a water, please?" she asked, handing him some money.

	Phantasos grinned and just held Jamie tightly, quite happy to do so. Jayden jumped up and nodded, "sure! I'll be right back!" He scampered away and Julia laughed as he went. "He's like a squirrel, it's adorable," Julia giggled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"He is the cutest, and he is my fave," Roxanna agreed, smiling as she watched Jayden leave the auditorium.

The house lights flashed, a ten minute warning for everyone. "Oh figures, our timing's impeccable," she said dryly.

"He's quick like a squirrel," Jamie chimed in. "He'll be fine. And even if he's not, no one's going to get mad at him for coming in late. Look at his face. It's like kicking a puppy."

	"If anyone bothered him they'd have to deal with me anyway," Phantasos said, suddenly sounding dark and scary. No one was fucking with Jayden again with him around. Julia's eyes widened and she winked at him. "That was kind of hot there, dream boy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I know, right?" Jamie said, twisting around to look at Julia and fluttering his hand a bit dramatically. "I got the close up view, it was pretty good." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Phantasos just wiggled his eyebrows at Julia and then he put himself back onto his own seat as Jayden returned with the concessions. "Does it start soon?" Julia said, looking around. "I hope so, eiiiii," Jayden squealed. (Reply to this) (Parent)
