Oriel had been filled with anticipation the whole week long as Thursday drew ever closer. The days ticking by slowly, the way that time always seemed to trudge along when ancitipation was in the air. As if that day would never come.

But of course it did come.

He spent Thursday working, of course, at the Quibbler offices, doing fact checking and research, some for himself and some for other people, senior writers and what not. Oriel was glad to be kept busy, because that made the day go all the faster, and he was pleased for that. Soon it was time to call it a day and he said goodbye to his co-workers and headed home.

Back in his flat he fed Tweak and Ralph and Fuzz and the budgies, and left food on the sill for his owl if he came by, and then cleaned up. He changed into a pair of skinny gray jeans and blue shirt, with a jacket and a scarf over top. Combing his hair and then he headed out.

He was meeting Kevin in a place in Muggle London, and so he Apparated to a place he knew would be empty and walked the rest of the way to the park where they were meeting. Tucking his hands into his coat pockets and lingering near the entrance of the park as he waited.

	Kevin squirmed. His place wasn't really a mess, but it wasn't as neat as he would have preferred. He hadn't anticipated having company. Despite his newfound butterflies, Kevin grinned. "Sure," he said, and then thought about transportation. "I live in Manchester, d'you want to Apparate?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That would be easiest," Oriel agreed. Once they were outside the theatre, at least! Which didn't take long, and they walked along behind it, where it was quiet and dim and nobody was about. Oriel reached for Kevin's hand then, so they would have a point of contact while Kevin apparated them to his flat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

As they approached a secluded area behind the theatre, Kevin quickly ran through what in his apartment he had that he might need when they arrived. He had some leftover pizza in the fridge, a few drinks, maybe some crisps. Not a whole lot, but enough.

The state of the parlor, as Kevin had taken to calling the room with the telly, was a little more uncertain. More often than not, when he arrived at home after a long day's fight with one Muggle official or another, he turned the telly on only as a noisemaker and didn't even pay much attention to the condition of the room. For all Kevin knew there would be dirty laundry strewn about the room.

No turning back now, though. Kevin wordlessly clasped Oriel's hand and turned on the spot.

With a *pop*, the two arrived in the entranceway to the flat, where Kevin shivered off the last of the autumn chill and shed his coat. He turned to help Oriel do the same, and struggled to make his "so this is my flat," sound more confident and less sheepish.

	Alright? Although Kevin's mouth instantly went arid again and he involuntarily swallowed, his mind was crystal clear on one fact: "Please," he whispered. He felt himself scoot over closer to the smaller boy on the couch, so that their thighs touched. There was hardly any room between them now, and for all intents and purposes, it was now-or-never.

	"Wh-what do you want to do?" Kevin asked with a mixture of huskiness and uncertainty. If Oriel wanted to move...forward, Kevin would have been willing to, but it did seem kinda soon. He sat back on the sofa and abruptly leaned forward again. He needed to, ah, shield something from view. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I want to kiss you more," Oriel admitted softly. "I want..." There were other things he wanted, but at the same time, wasn't quite ready for. "I want to get to know you better," he said with a rueful little smile. "Before... other things." His cheeks turned pink, but the truth was a good thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kevin sighed, more from relief than disappointment. "I'm okay with that," he grinned, tugging Oriel close to him again. "But you'd better get to know me fast," he winked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
