Friendship First: The First Date
Grant stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his turtle neck sweater. He wore a tan turtle neck sweater, black jeans, and a black leather jacket. He smiled as he looked at his reflection. Grant never really thought about his looks but he couldn't help but smile. He did look handsome.
The doorbell brought him out of his thoughts. It was already 8:00? He raced to the door to find Jason standing there. One hand behind his back. Jason smiled when he saw Grant. "God you look…wonderful." Grant blushed at is words.
"Thank you." Suddenly Jason brought out a bouquet of red roses, holding them out to Grant.
Jason smiled as he saw Grant's blush deepen. "For you…I want do this right." Grant thanked him for the flowers and found and empty vase to place them in.
As they drove an awkward silence filled the car. Grant fidgeted with the sleeve of his jacket. This was so weird. When they were just friends they usually had plenty to talk about. They always found something to chat about. Jason decided to break the ice. Until they arrived at their destination they happily chatted about the different lighthouses they had investigated.
They finally pulled up to the theater. They stood looking over all the movie posters. They didn't want to see a PG toon movie or an extremely gory horror movie. They finally settled on Die Hard.
As Jason finished paying for the movie tickets Grant began laughing. "What's so funny?" Jason asked smiling, as they made their way over to the popcorn stand.
"You paid for my ticket. Are you buying me popcorn too?" Jason chuckled.
"Sure am."
As they waited for their popcorn the cashier began chatting with them. "So guys…what movie are you going to see?"
Jason grinned. "Live Free or Die Hard! A movie of men doing manly things! Like blowing stuff up!" Both the cashier and Grant laughed.
Grant helped Jason carry the food and drinks to the seats. They both sat beside each other. One giant bag of popcorn between them on the arm rest.
As the lights went down and the previews started Grant suddenly leaned over and kissed Jason on the seat. "Thank you for the roses. They were beautiful." Jason smiled .
"Your welcome." Jason snaked one arm around Grant, holding him closer.
