AN: Enjoy!

"Lookin' sexy there boss. Hot date?" asked Cleo from his laptop, leaning closer to screen as she checked him out. Carter was looking over his outfit for tonight's date, clothes all over the floor. The only thing safe from his hurricane of clothes was the small spot on his bed where his laptop sat open.

"I just so happen to do. Any news?" He smoothed out his pale yellow collared shirt.

"I'd wear the red one instead of the yellow."

Carter turned around, face anxious. "You think so?"

She nodded. "Yup! Go change while I tell you your messages."

He grabbed the red shirt that was hanging from his desk chair and walked into the bathroom, walking through his mess in ease.

Cleo cleared her throat as typing was heard over the speakers. "First, your uncle called, congratulating you on the job. I've already sent him your thanks. Next, Amit's results have come in. Apparently she ate some squirrels or were they chipmunks…well in any case, she's being treated for it and should make a full recovery. Also, your sister knows your on case for the next couple of months but asks that you at least make time for your father's anniversary."

In the bathroom, Carter hesitated in buttoning up his shirt. That's right, his father's anniversary was in a month's time. The man had died from a weak heart. Their mother had passed away when he and Sadie were twelve. Their father was really hurt from her death, thinking it was all his fault. Once Carter turned 18, by then already with a master's degree, their father's heart gave out suddenly. It was two months after his own birthday.

"So what's this guy look like?" Carter shook his head and walked back into the room. He now wore a short-sleeved red collared shirt with black khakis. "Wait, where's this date even at?"

Shrugging he checked himself out in the mirror. "Don't know. He just told me to dress nice and comfortable. You're right about the shirt. It's much better."

Cleo laughed. "Am I ever wrong about these things?" She wasn't. The woman dressed to impress everyday. He should've known better than to question her choice.

The chime of the doorbell interrupted all conversation from continuing.

"Is that him?" she asked turning towards the front door as if she'd be able to see him. "Take me with you! I wanna see!"

"I am NOT bringing you with! Go google him or something."

"But-"

He rolled his eyes. "Goodbye Cleo."

She pouted but ended the call, the screen going completely black. He grabbed his phone, wallet and keys and walked to the entry way of his temporary apartment. He opened the door with a smile on his face.

"You're a little early."

The man shrugged. "Wanted to spend as much time with you as possible. You look great by the way."

"Oh!" blushed Carter. "My friend called and told me to wear it."

"Friend?" questioned Horus, motioning for Carter to join him in the hallway after he slipped on his shoes. Black flip-flops. He figured that with Horus wearing his own pair, it wouldn't matter that he also went casual. Actually now that Carter was less self-conscious about Horus' opinion on his chosen outfit, he finally took the time to look Horus over. The man wore a white sleeveless shirt, it was also a button-up and looks to have a hood attached on the back. It greatly emphasized the younger man's tan muscular arms. Carter wondered what kind of sports or exercise Horus took part in to be so fit. For pants he went with stylish beige khakis and matching flip-flops.

"Uh, yes. We've known each other for a while now."

Carter was too occupied with pushing the button for the elevator that he missed the relieved look Horus had for a second. "So where are you taking me?"

Horus chuckled, placing his arm over Carter's shoulders. "That's a surprise."

AN: I know it's been SO long since I've updated. School, work and now club activities are kicking my ass and taking names. After a reminder from Syko a few minutes ago, reminding me that she's been waiting for another post, I decided to get this out! I've made you wait long enough! Sorry that it's so short though! I've made you wait and it's for something short! I feel so guilty… *sigh* I hope I pick it up again. Leave a review!
