The next few weeks were pure agony for both Agron and Nasir, as they were both groveling in their own misery and depressing the people around them with their sadness and moping. Both Naevia and Crixus had heard time and time again by now from both men about how they each regretted what had happened, how they each had been stupid for what they had done on each of their dates and how they alone were responsible for ruining the best thing to come into their lives. Getting tired of having a moping Agron around him and missing his happy self, Crixus one night recalled everything Agron had told him to Naevia while they were in bed, about to go to sleep. Shocked, Naevia told Nasir's part of the story and while comparing notes, a plan began to hatch between the two of them.

"Agron man, you need to get out! You've been moping around here for weeks now." Crixus told his best friend, who was in his sweats, watching TV and eating Doritos.

"I don't need to go out. Everything I need is here. The outside world is bad, meeting other people is bad." Agron said regretfully, stuffing another handful of chips in his mouth.

Crixus had had enough and sat down next to Agron: "Listen man, my wedding anniversary is coming up and we're going to celebrate it on my wife's private yacht. There'll be food, dancing, even booze."

"Really? Booze?" Nasir asked Naevia while sitting at his kitchen table, with a hopeful look on his face.

"Really, you'll be able to get as wasted as you want." Naevia replied, caressing her friend's arm.

Nasir thought for a moment, maybe this could help him forget everything, forget...he didn't want to think about the other man's name, just the memory of it creating a pain in his gut.

"Alright, I'm in. But just because you said there'd be booze." Agron answered Crixus, who had a strange smug look upon his face that the other man didn't notice.

Everything was going according to plan, Naevia thought on her side.

The night of the party came and with the instructions given to him by Crixus, Agron was able to find the yacht in the middle of the docks. As Agron got on it, he was impressed. This boat was pretty big and expensive-looking and could fit quite a lot of people on the deck as well as inside.

"Hello! Anybody there?" Agron started to shout. "Crixus? Naevia? Wanna get this party started or something?"

"Agron?" came a voice from the stairs that lead to the inside of the boat. Agron looked back at the source of the inquiry and was shocked when a fine-dressed Nasir climbed up the stairs and came towards him.

"What are you doing here?" he asked, his heart starting to speed up. Damn Nasir looked fine in his opened up shirt and suit jacket.

"I was about to ask you the same thing." Nasir replied, trying not to look back at Agron, finding him as good looking as ever with his spiky hair and leather coat. He remembered the piece of paper that he was holding in his hand and said: "Maybe this could explain what's written on this." he added, reading the words on the paper out loud.

Hey guys! The key to romance is to let things go naturally, not force them. Hope you two will stop being total idiots and actually talk to each other. Have a great night!

- Love, C & N

"So we were set up." Agron said, shaking his head.

"Looks like it." Nasir replied, lifting his head from the piece of paper to Agron's face. They both looked at each other for a moment and suddenly, they both started to laugh at the same time. They both laughed so hard that Nasir dropped the piece of paper in his hand and Agron had to wipe his eyes.

When they finally stopped, Agron looked at Nasir with a smile: "So, what do you say we make this our "third" third-date?" he asked the other man, extending his hand.

"I would really like that." Nasir replied smiling back at him and taking the other man's hand.

Together, they went down the stairs inside the boat where a bottle of champagne was waiting for them in the small kitchen. Nasir smiled as Agron popped the cork and gave him a glass. He proposed a toast: "To third third-dates," he began with a laugh.

Agron clinked his glass with the other man's and took a sip. "And to second chances." he added with a fond smile and a look of pure lust upon his face.

"Yeah, to second chances." Nasir replied distractively, getting lost into Agron's eyes and leaning forward slowly toward the other man.

Agron took both of their glasses while never leaving eye-contact with Nasir and set them on the kitchen table. Slowly, just like the other man, he leaned forward and their lips found one another with a passion that hadn't appeared before then. While the other kisses had been wild before, this one took it to another level. Weeks of missing one another took their toll on the two men and they began to tear at each other's clothing, all the while never stop kissing.

"Oh god, I missed you so much." Nasir moaned as Agron was attacking his neck, making his way down to his collar bone.

"Me too, baby, me too." Agron said, removing Nasir's shirt to get access to more skin.

"We're never going to be this stupid again, okay?" Nasir asked, taking the other man's face between his hands and gazing at him heatedly.

"Never again." Agron replied removing his own shirt and taking Nasir back into his arms. Biting the other man's lips and hearing him moan was enough for Agron to trail his hands down to Nasir's butt and picking him up. Nasir gasped in shock and wrapped his long legs around the other man's waist and together they headed toward the boat's bedroom.

If you asked Agron and Nasir the next morning how the night had went, Agron would say that it was the wildest night of his life, with how much the whole yacht seemed to rock from their first round of sex, with Agron pounding Nasir from behind against a dresser in the small bedroom and how their moans were so loud they could have woken up the entire city. How afterwards they had sucked each other off in turn and Nasir had taken Agron the second time around and fucked him almost through the mattress.

And Nasir would reply that it was the most romantic night of his life when during their third round, while going slower than the first two times and in one other's arms, both men couldn't stop looking into each other's eyes and after a soft kiss, Agron leaned his forehead against Nasir's and whispered for the first time "I love you."

And shocked, but with a tender smile upon his face, Nasir had replied "I love you too." and Agron had leaned back down on the bed, taking Nasir under him and while kissing more passionately, their rhythm had increased and they both had come shouting the other's name.

So in the end, both Crixus and Naevia had been right. Sex wasn't meant to be forced, it was meant to go on naturally. And after two failed tries, both Agron and Nasir agreed that their "third" third-date could be considered a great success.
