Raphie clung to Apollo as he drove them to their next destination. He still couldn't get over the fact that he was on a date with him. His mind kept going over what had happened at the cliff, even though it had probably looked like two friends, at least in Raphie's mind, enjoying the sunset, he couldn't get over how surreal it had felt. He nuzzled the small of Apollo's back as he drove. Not even sensing the strange sight that he would have seen if he had opened his eyes.

He felt Apollo lean slightly as he turned the bike. He felt it slow down and almost whimpered that their journey had come to a stop and that he'd have to let go of Apollo.

"Raphie," Apollo said quietly.

"What?" Raphie murmured as his hold on Apollo tightened.

"Don't you want anything to eat?" he heard the grin in Apollo's voice.

Raphie would have said no if it meant that he didn't have to let go, instead his stomach answered for him. Apollo smiled as Raphie turned a bright red.

"I'll take that as a yes," Raphie reluctantly let go and pulled off his helmet, he'd forgotten he'd been wearing it, that couldn't have been comfortable for Apollo, he blushed again.

"Well, here we are," Raphie looked at the restaurant Apollo had brought them to and let his mouth drop open in amazement.

To say the restaurant was…was…Raphie couldn't think of a word to even begin to describe it, he'd never been near a place like this, the windows were gilded and two large plants stood outside the door. The restaurant seemed to take up two floors; it even had a doorman and lights tastefully placed around the windows. Raphie then noticed some of the other diners through the windows, they were all dressed in smart suits or elegant dresses, either way Raphie felt very inadequate.

"What's wrong? Don't worry about what you're wearing you're with me," Raphie turned to look at Apollo as he took off his jacket. Underneath was a smart-casual type shirt that, in Raphie's opinion, made him look stunning.

"Hold on a second," Raphie remembered he'd brought a spare change of clothes in case he decided to go to the club, he knew it wasn't made for this sort of place, but it was better than what he was wearing.

He lifted the seat of Apollo's bike and pulled out his bag. He quickly opened it and took out a pile of black clothes. He pulled off his shirt and quickly slipped on a black sleeveless vest that just covered the top of his shoulders; he pulled a black band over one arm and a black choker around his neck. The silver on the collar and zipper finished the look as he slipped a tight silver bracelet onto his wrist.

He turned to Apollo, "Ready,"

Apollo shook his head as he chuckled and escorted him to the door. They stopped in front of the doorman as Apollo gave him his name.

"Apollo, pleased to see you again sir, do enjoy yourself tonight and-" the doorman froze when his eyes landed on Raphie, "Hey you're the kid from the club, and the pub now that I think about it,"

The way that the doorman was looking at him made Raphie nervous.

"You know him?" Apollo looked stunned.

"Yeah, I used to go to his club most nights, I worked as a bouncer there, best singer the place has, now that I've got this job I don't go as much, instead I go to the pub he performs at, never expected to see him there, nearly had a heart attack when I heard him start singing, it's pleasure to meet you, if you ever need anyone sorting out just let me know,"

"Er, thank you…" Raphie trailed off as he looked for any sign of a name badge.

"It's Joe," the doorman offered.

"Thank you Joe, it's a pleasure meeting you as well," Raphie gave him a small smile and a bow.

"No need to thank me sir," Joe said, going back to speaking as he was expected to, "Enjoy you're night," Joe stood straight and opened the door for them.

"Thank you Joe," Apollo smiled as he walked through the door along with Raphie.

"Yeah thanks," Joe smartly shut the door behind them.

The two stopped in front of a wooden podium like thing as they waited to be seated. Raphie was aware of several people staring at them as if they were dressed like clowns.

"How many for a table sir?" a waitress came up to them holding a menu in front of her.

"A table for two please," Apollo said.

"Would you like a balcony seat as usual Mister Apollo?"

As usual? How often did Apollo come here? Raphie asked himself.

"That would be much appreciated," Apollo smiled and the waitress quickly turned to lead them to their table.

Raphie noticed people staring at them, him in particularly, as they made their way through the lower floor of the restaurant with its lush pink-red-orange coloured carpets and plants and dark wooden tables that reeked of money, up the stairs and into an even more lush looking floor, a pair of large glass double doors stood wide open with several tables already occupied by dining people enjoying the night air.

"Here's the drinks menu," the waitress handed them the menu she'd been holding as they sat down.

Apollo smiled to himself at Raphie's stunned look as he looked at the gilded menu, the leather binding seeming to shine in the light. As Raphie opened it another waiter came to take their drinks order and give them a food menu.

"May I take your order?" Apollo looked at Raphie who was still staring at the menu.

"A little more time, my friend here needs a little more time to decide," the waiter glanced at Raphie and sneered at his appearance, earning him a glare from Apollo. Immediately the waiter stopped and left, knowing not to get on the wrong side of Apollo, a favoured customer at the restaurant.

"Don't they have coke?" Raphie gasped as he looked at the list of expensive sounding, and priced drinks, he glanced at the food menu and gulped when he saw the price of the starters.

"Do you want me to order for you?" Apollo raised an eyebrow in amusement.

"No, I, I, you don't have to do this I mean, it's a nice thought and all but…this is much to much," Raphie was starting to turn red as he flustered at the thought of Apollo treating him to such an expensive dinner.

"It's okay, I come here pretty regularly, it's not a problem, besides you deserve the best," Raphie almost collapsed when he felt Apollo gently take his hand, as it was he had a meltdown in his mind.

"May I take your order?" a different waiter came up to them and Raphie felt Apollo's hand withdraw.

Raphie didn't hear what Apollo said to the waiter, his mind was still whirling with what had just happened. He stayed like that until the food came. Raphie looked down at the steaming plate of, something, whatever it was it looked good and smelled even better. Raphie felt his stomach growl again and immediately began to dig in while Apollo looked on and smiled.

Raphie finished quickly, wiping up the source with a roll before sitting back in his chair, giving a sigh of contentment.

"You enjoyed it huh?" Apollo looked over at Raphie.

Rapihe could only nod, too stuffed to even reply, "That's good, I've just got to take care of something, I shouldn't be too long okay," Raphie nodded as Apollo left and entered the building.

He sighed again when he heard the voices of a family a few tables away.

"Would you look at that, it's disgusting," a woman said. Raphie sat up, curious as to what they were talking about.

"I agree, whoever it must have the poor man wrapped around their thumb," another said.

"It's probably both of them that are like that, dragging down this place dressed like that," a man's voice.

"I can't believe this place let in a tramp like that," a young girl spoke.

"Probably stole someone's money," this said by a young boy.

"And showing as much skin as possible, she might as well only be wearing her underwear,"

"Where do you think her 'partner's' gone?" the first woman asked.

"Who knows, if he knows what's good for him he'll leave her, let her get into trouble and receive the punishment she deserves," Raphie discreetly looked around the balcony, everyone else was with someone and dressed elegantly. It was then he realised they were talking about him.

"I think she heard us," the young girl said.

"Good, she's a tramp, her sort should be kept where they belong, reform school," the second woman said.

"I think it's a little late for reform school, her kind should be behind bars, flaunting themselves all over the place, stealing and lounging off our hard-earned money,"

Raphie stopped listening and stood up, tears springing to his eyes. He strode off towards the doors, fighting them back as he ignored the stares of the family as they glared at him in triumph. Raphie headed for the exit, head down, ignoring the stares of the rest of the restaurants patrons.

He had almost reached the door when he bumped into Apollo.

"What?" Apollo turned round, "Raphie, what's wrong?" he asked as he caught sight of the boy's watery eyes.

"Nothing, I'm sorry, it was a mistake bringing me here, all I'm doing is causing you trouble," Raphie made to run off, but Apollo's hold on his shoulders stopped him.

"Raphie, listen to me, you're not causing any trouble, look just stay here, I'll be right back," Apollo headed back upstairs, guessing what had happened, while Raphie just stood there, staring after him.

Apollo found a waiter and told them his complaint, immediately he and the waiter where at the table of the people who'd been insulting Raphie.

"Excuse me, we've had complaints of you insulting our guests," the waiter said calmly.

A raven-haired woman in a blue floor-length dress, looked at the waiter, "I'm sorry if we offended anyone, but we had no intention of insulting anyone,"

"Is this true?" the waiter turned to look at Apollo.

"They insulted both me and my companion during my absence; however my companion heard everything and informed me of what was said,"

"Very well sir," turning to the family, who Apollo had to admit were good actors, the aiter calmly said, "I have to ask you to leave,"

"What? This preposterous," the family started protesting while Apollo nodded his thanks to the waiter and left a large tip at the table.

He returned to Raphie, who looked at him in confusion for a moment. When he saw Apollo smile at him he felt his troubles melt and let him guide him to the door, nodding goodbye to Joe as he held the door open for them.

When they had just left he parking lot Raphie decided to ask Apollo a question.

"Apollo, do I really look like a girl?"

"What makes you say that?"

"It's just; those people thought I was a girl,"

"Ignore them, they were jerks and they're not worth your time," Raphie didn't reply, instead he just smiled and took comfort in Apollo's presence as he once again snuggled up to him.

"So what did you mean back on the cliff?" Apollo's question made Raphie jerk up sharply.

"Why do you want to know?"

"Because you seem down because of it,"

"Well, I guess you should know seeing as we're dating now, it's just, most of the care workers are either religious or believe in old fashioned ideas, if they found out I was gay, well…you can probably guess what would happen, and then everyone at school would find out, and I just don't feel ready to tell anyone just yet,"

"You're uncomfortable with the idea?"

"I guess, it's pretty new to me, I mean I've never been attracted to anyone in my life, and then you came along and, well, everything changed, I guess I still need time to adjust to it all,"

"Okay, just don't take to long okay, do you want me let you off here?" Apollo pulled the bike to a stop a few houses away from the care home.

"Yeah, this'll be fine," Raphie stepped off the bike. He was about to go when Apollo grabbed him and pressed his lips to his. Raphie closed his eyes, enjoying the moment, before they had to pull away. Raphie watched as Apollo rode off, and he started walking back to his so-called 'home', feeling better then he had in years.
