Harry gave a sigh as he sat at a table set for two, he had been sitting there alone for at least two hours now.

He was currently at a restaurant waiting for a date of his to arrive and so far, they were a no show.

He had asked out a co-worker on a date, the person had said yes and Harry had been so sure that his date would go great.

Now though, Harry was thinking that he had been wrong.

He felt so stupid.

Tears escaped his eyes and fell down his face, much to his frustration.

He really had been looking forward to this, had dressed up for it and had even managed to make his messy, black hair behave for once.

Harry worked at a local coffee shop and this date was going to be his first date with someone since he had moved to America.

Harry wiped his tears away, anger starting to mix in with the sadness he felt at having been stood up.

Luckily, he hadn't been in love with the person he had asked out, it had been a crush, so it probably wouldn't take him very long to get over them.

He was thinking of leaving to go home, afterall if his date wasn't going to show up he might as well just go home to the apartment that he shared with three other people, maybe even have some beers with them and watch some TV.

Suddenly Harry was distracted out of this plan when he felt someone tap him in the shoulder.

Harry turned his head to see that the person was a man from the table closest to him, Harry felt surprised when he saw that it was one of his roommates, a man who went by the name Schmidt.

Schmidt was an attractive man in his late twenties, just a few years younger than Harry was and he was just a bit taller than Harry. He had short black hair, a slender yet fit build and had brown eyes.

"Hey Harry…what are you doing sitting all alone? Didn't you say you have a date today?" Schmidt asked with a concerned frown on his face.

"Yeah…I think I got stood up Schmidt, it's been at least two hours now and he still hasn't shown up."

"What a jerk!" Schmidt said. "I'd go on a date with you if you asked me! You're a great guy and are quite handsome too."

Schmidt was smiling at Harry when he said this.

"Really?" Harry asked.

Harry felt himself surprised at this sudden confession as he had been so sure that Schmidt and himself were just friends. Harry had recently developed romantic feelings for his roommate but he had been so sure that Schmidt would only ever see him as a friend.

"Yeah, I would! In a heartbeat, yes I would. I know I haven't said this yet but I like you Harry, I like you very much" said Schmidt, the words he spoke sounding quite genuine.

"I like you too Schmidt. I didn't want to say anything just in case it would be one- sided but I've developed romantic feelings for you as well" Harry said, now with a happy smile on his face.

Schmidt's smile grew, "Do you want to have a date with me then? We could have it here or we could have it at home. We…We could go back home, we could order something for dinner and we could watch movies together, maybe even make out a little."

"That..That sounds great. Schmidt, I'd love to. Let's go back to our place." said Harry. However shortly after saying this a frown appeared on his face. "What are you here for though? Aren't you busy right now?"

Schmidt gave Harry a reassuring look, "Don't worry about that, it wasn't a date or anything. It was just for work and besides it's done now so it's fine, tonight I can be all yours for whatever it is that you want to do"

Harry's frown disappeared and he smiled, "Good. I would like to go on a date with you then"

Soon Harry and Schmidt returned to their apartment where after ordering some food they had their date. They talked, getting to know each other better than they already did, when the food arrived they stopped talking for a while to eat before putting on some movies.

During the movies they cuddled close together, at some point holding each other hands and eventually they made out.

Throughout the date Harry found that he really enjoyed himself, he liked what new things he had discovered about Schmidt, he found out that he really liked it when Schmidt held his hand and he absolutely loved it when the other man would kiss him.

He didn't feel sad about being stood up anymore, in fact Harry had completely forgotten that he was originally supposed to go out with someone else.

At the end of the date they went to Schmidt's bedroom where they returned to making out, cuddling and eventually they had sex.

The next day Schmidt asked Harry out again, and having thoroughly enjoyed the first date with his roommate Harry said yes.
