Love was always so exciting, romance. Zach believed in it, truly. Oh the potential wasn't there with everyone - probably almost anyone - he shagged, but sex and love weren't always connected. But Theo, Theo had found someone. And no, it probably wasn't love, yet. But Zach was so excited to meet her, to meet someone that meant a lot to Theo. But she needed...him not to be overly energetic. Theo had warned him of that. Also, no hugs. So he had exercised, worked out, ahead of time to use up some of that energy. A nice shower, nice clothes, and a short walk were all he needed to be ready.
When the door opened, Theo stood there alone. That was fine. Zach didn't know if he were first or second. And Theo spoke - second then. That was great. Giving Theo a hug, a light one for Zach, he smiled, "Hi Theo. You look nice." His eyes looked up the stairs - the anticipation still there.
