Summary: “You know, Talvi likes you,” Takeo said, after waiting to make sure Nick was taking a large bite of the sandwich he was holding.
“You know, Talvi likes you,” Takeo said, after waiting to make sure Nick was taking a large bite of the sandwich he was holding.
Nick’s jaw snapped together so hard Takeo heard his teeth clack. It really shouldn’t be this easy to needle him but it was, it always was - and Takeo watched his friend go from red to purple to an alarming shade of blue that had him reaching over the table to slap at his back. After a minute of coughing and choking (and drawing stares from other, more properly dressed grunts at the other tables) Nick finally swallowed that mouthful of sandwich and sucked air into his poor abused maw. “WHAT?!"
It was a fairly well-known secret that Nick was gay. Takeo knew, of course - although Nick had kept it from him for years they finally had it out because Nick apparently didn’t trust his best friend enough to confide in him - but most other people didn’t. Talvi most certainly did not. "It’s pretty obvious,” Takeo said, as Nick scrubbed at his mouth with the back of his hand. “Just from the way she looks at you-"
"Dude, she would break me in half and use me as a toothpick given half the chance,” Nick said. “I don’t think that’s the same thing as affection."
"I dunno,” Takeo scooted his fork around the plate, chasing after some stray beans. “I really think she does."
"Whatever.” Nick placed both his hands on the table. “Regardless, I’ve got a boyfriend. She’ll just have to deal."
Takeo’s eyebrow arched. "A boyfriend? When did THIS happen?"
Nick flushed a solid red - there was never anything halfhearted about his expressions. "Recently, and no, you haven’t met him. He’s not in the military … in fact, he hates it.”
