Through a friend ( Pandamonium/Nikolas)

[pandamonium]

Abel began to chuckle softly. He followed Colten to a table and sat down. He found it cute the way Colten would tilt his head and when he would lean forward, he would try his best not to blush and pull away.

"I can believe that. You have given me great advice on relationships and love. You must have been in other relationships in the past, right?"

He felt a small pang of jealousy at the thought of Colten being with others. He tried to push the thoughts aside and enjoy the time with Colten.

 

He noticed the way Colten would turn his head to the side and found it rather cute. He also noticed how often he would LAN forward. Abel tried not to pull away and offend Colten. He chuckled and grabbed the menu.

"It's kinda cute the way you turn your head to the side. It's kinda like a cat!" He realized what he had said and covered his face with the menu. He pretended to look at the items on the menu, but couldn't focus. Feeling like he must have crept Colten out with his comment.

[Nikolas]

Colten shrugged looking at him with a smile as he snickered some " I've been in a few but as of right now I'm single and I think I found someone that has captured my interest but I don't want to come off as to strong certainly on our first meeting." he would pick up his menu gazing at it with a sly grin then looked at the other. He noticed how he wasn't pulling back away from him as much now.

 

At the comment of being like a cat he busted out laughing " I think I was a cat in another life... which I would have to say I would enjoy being on someone's lap and being pampered all day." he winked at him with a smile then let his eyes flicker over his face " You remind me of a deer with those eyes of yours... kinda like your ready to run but yet you try to stand firm." he would sit his menu down folding his hands on top of it with a small smile.

 

" Shame the person you've taken interest in hasn't made any advances on you or at least you haven't taken the chance to tell him how you fully feel yet." he would place his hand under his own chin with a smile thinking about something he wondered if he actually became more forward would Abel run off like a buck in fear if he had. " So your into men? More so then you are into women."

[pandamonium]

Abel set his menu down when he heard Colten laugh. He gave an internal sigh of relief. He began to feel more at ease than before. A pang of jealousy hit again when Colten confirmed that he had been in other relationships in the last. He began to feel like a jealous asshole. Why want Colten allowed to date others? It was his life and his decisions. Colten would probably find his slight jealousy uncalled for. He perked up at the mention of being a deer. He smiled and shrugged.

"Never been told that before. Been told I'm like a dog on a couple of occasions. My high school friend found it comical that I was so protective of her. In my defense she had a tendency to date assholes. And Jason says I always follow him and get all excited when I see him." He muttered and blushed.

 

"Can't say it's a shame. If he doesn't like me, it's not the end of the world. Why should they feel obligated to date me. I don't like being pitied." He shrugged and began to play with his hair as he would stare at Colten, then look away. When his sexuality was put into question, hr began to grow uneasy. He didn't like it when people would ask him. He couldn't say he hated his sexuality, but he rarely expressed it.

"Well if you must know...I'm bisexual. But I like to believe I like both genders evenly. I used to imagine I'd date a boy in college and marry a girl, but I can't say that plan is going to happen. It's whatever. I like who I like."

[Nikolas]

Colten smiled as he gazed at the other curiously seeing something in his features it made him amused for a moment then leaned forward. " Well if your more like a dog I saw you make a good one if you protect your friends and what not. " he would look up at the waitress as she came with glasses of water for them " I'll have a coke and I think will take a few more minutes to order." he said with a chipper tone before looking back at Abel with a smile.

 

" Have you asked him out yet? I mean you'll never know if he likes you till you ask you know." he said with a smile then shrugged a little trying to think for a moment. " Your Bisexual as well well that isn't strange I lean more toward guys myself personally. I mean girls are great I would love to settle down as well but something about guys is just what I like." he grinned a bit then sipped his water. " So, what is the type of guy your into?" He would shift in the booth seat with a smile he knew he was being nosey but he was starting to be charmed by his nervous shy manner this one kind of rang him off that he was more then likely a bottom which he didn't mind at all. " Sorry if I am asking all the questions i mean if you want to ask me something you can you know."

[pandamonium]

Abel nodded and began to play with the salt and pepper shakers. He looked at Colten and smiled.

"Yeah, but I just don't want to see people get hurt."

He saw the waitress come over and fiddled with the menu. When Colten asked the lady to come back, he sighed in relief. He looked in the menu and skimmed to see if there was anything he would like. He settled in something and set it back down.

 

He shook his head at being asked if he had asked out who he liked.

"I haven't. I feel like it's still too soon. I barely meet him. What if he finds it too forward?" He perked his ears at finding out Colten was bisexual. He grinned and leaned forward.

"Really? It's a relief. So you lean towards guys? That's pretty cool."

Abel grabbed his straw and tour the wrapper before placing it in the glass and sipping. He nearly choked on the water at being asked what type of guy he was interested. He never really put much thought into it.

"Never really put much thought into it, but I have noticed I like outgoing and fun people. That's one of the reasons I kinda liked Jason."

He took another sip of water and played with the star wrapper.

"Okay. Um...so what's your family like? Do you have any siblings? Pets?"

[Nikolas]

Colten smiled then shrugged a bit as he gazed at him a long moment " I can understand people not wanting them to get hurt. " he would look at him a long moment then smile" Its very sweet of you not to want to hurt people which is a good thing." he would lean back with a smile. He would in the booth some as he got a devious kind of smile on his face as he leaned toward him with a impish grin.

 

" So to soon to say that to him hmm? Well I am sure if you wait to long which I say don't let it slip by tell him how you feel. " he would wink at him then sipped his water with a shrug some " I say best to be forward rather then to wait and let your chance slip away." he would soon look up at the question about his family and other things. " Well for one my parents are both living though they are divorce my father is a chemist and my mother is a nurse. I have two other siblings both younger then I am as for pets well I have a pet cat named Momo she's a siamese cat."

[pandamonium]

Abel blushed and played with his hair.

"Thanks. You're really nice. I'm glad I had a chance to hang out and talk with you."

He noticed how his smile turned into a smirk and he had to admit that he found it attractive.

 

"I guess you're right. I didn't think of that. I should tell them. Thank you for your advice." He smiled and till another sip of his water.

He perked at Colten mentioning his family and pet.

"Really? Are you close with your siblings? And you have a cat? That's so cute! Do you have any pictures of her?"

He grew excited learning more about Colten. He was beginning to think about telling Colten that he liked him.

[Nikolas]

Colten pulled out his phone then looked at him playing with his hair as he smiled " Your very welcome and I am glad to be hanging out with you. " He would smile sipping his drink when he noticed he was starting to really like the other.

" I guess my siblings and I are kinda close " he would shrugged a bit as he took a deep breath thinking for a moment " Oh Momo here I got pictures of her." he would soon show Abel the pictures of momo being cute and doing funny things.

 

" So since I brought you out tonight from the party... would you mind hanging out with me again?" He would stare at him a long moment with a small smile on his face as he talked to the waitress now giving his order " I'll have a bacon, mushroom, cheese burger."

[pandamonium]

Abel looked at the pictures of the cat and felt like he would get a heart attack from the cute and comical things the cat would do. He couldn't help bit chuckle and grin.

"That's really cute! I'm glad you're closer with your siblings. And your cat's so...funny and adorable!" He continued to giggle and look at the pictures.

 

He looked at Colten and nodded.

"That sounds cool. I'd like to continue hanging out with you."

The waitress turned to him and asked him what he'd like to have.

"I'd like the fish and chip. No tarter sauce, please. A milkshake and a slice of chocolate pie, please." He murmured, shyly handing the lady his menu and beginning to tense up. Once the waitress left, he began to calm down a bit.

"If you'd like we could hang out at my place sometime, too"

[Nikolas]

Colten looked at him as he chuckled a bit gazing at him a long moment with a grin seeing him enjoying the pictures of Momo. He would chuckle a bit himself " She's my little goofy butt." He would chuckle watching him as he smiled a bit thinking for a moment.

 

" Well you and I could hang at both our places I suppose would be fun." he would then look at him with a curious gaze then smiled then just went ahead and been a little forward now cause he just wanted to be.

" you don't have any plans to night I know this is a little forward but would you like to come back to my place and hang out for a bit you can follow me in your car." he would hold up his hands

"I'm not a creeper or anything just would like to spend a bit more time with you since I am starting to like you a lot more."

[pandamonium]

Angel bloodshed at the request. He thought about out for some time. Should he? He did like Colten a lot and wouldn't mind. He was curious of Colten's place. He nodded and leaned back.

"I'd like that. We would be able to get to know one another even better, since I like you...a lot." He added.

 

The waitress returned with their meals and he thanked her before digging into his food.

"So...do you live with anyone else?" He murmured before taking a sip of his milkshake. He came up with Assn idea and grinned.

"Hey, maybe tomorrow you can spend the day and we could do our homework and listen Yup music. Maybe watch a movie. Unless you're busy.then it's understandable. We could hang out whenever we have free time."

[Nikolas]

He would smile gazing at him with a chuckle then lofted a brow for a moment " Well glad you want to get to know me better." He would stop and stare at him a moment as their food was brought to them " You like me a lot." He would pick up a french fry then pointed it at him with a grin " Well I like you too." He said with a charming smile.

 

" I live alone currently so no worries about bothering any roommates if that is what your wondering." he would shrug some then look at the ketchup bottle shaking it and pouring some onto this plate. " As for tomorrow I'm free as well as the day after so we can hang out and do whatever you desire to do."

[pandamonium]

Abel grinned and took a bite of a fish stick. He his milkshake and cleared his throat.

"Glad we're on equal grounds. I have a roommate. He's my friend Jason, but we have our own room and bathroom."

He felt like a weirdo telling extra useless information. He grabbed the ketchup bottle and poured on the side of his plate, before dipping his fries.

 

He excitedly leaned forward. He couldn't help but giggle from excitement.

"Really?! That's great! You'll get to meet the love of my life; Dorothy! She's super cute!"

[Nikolas]

Colten chuckled taking a bite of his burger nodding his head about the information about his roommate taking a swallow as he thought about something " So your free to have people over without much bother with your roomie that is good. I'm sure he doesn't bother you much anyways." he would lean back thinking for a moment as he took a sip of his water trying to think.

 

" Dorothy I can't wait to meet her then " He said as he leaned forward himself then gazed deeply in his eyes as he thought about something " I'm glad I went over Tony's house today wouldn't of expected I would of met someone that I could become friends with."

[pandamonium]

Abel blushed and smiled. He finished eating and continued slurping his milkshake. finished and wiped his nomouth with a napkin.

"I'm glad. And he's pretty payback. He's super fun and funny and smart."

The waitress returned with his pie and began digging into the it.

 

"Yeah, same. We'd probably would have met later. And not have gotten to spend more time together, since this is my last year here."

He finished his pie and began grabbing his wallet to pay for the meal.

"If you were going to tell someone that you like them, when would you tell them?"

[Nikolas]

Colten smiled looking at him a long moment then lofted a brow at him for a long moment " Well sounds like you like him a lot." he would grin him with a chuckle. " Well it will be a shame that you will be leaving so soon." he would lean toward him with a grin as he stared into Abel's eyes with a smile.

 

" As for when I would tell someone I like them I normally tell them right off rip no matter the responds I get. If I get rejected I get rejected if I get accepted I would be happy. But also I would say this sometimes waiting a bit might help but me I'm a forward kind of guy."

[pandamonium]

Abel gave a nervous smile and blushed.

"Well, I used to have a bit of a crush, but he didn't feel the same way as I did. But we remained friends, do that's enough for me. It was over a year ago, but things are good between us. His girlfriend is one of the sweetest people ever and she makes this really delicious fudge!"

His mouth began to drool at the thought of the fudge. He wiped his mouth with a napkin and gave am embarrassed chuckle.

 

"But what if you just met the person, like a couple days ago or a week? Isn't that too soon? I usually take things slow, but I try to be forward. Even though it's scary."

The waitress came back with their check and left to serve other customers. He grabbed the check and pulled out his wallet.

"I'm more afraid of making things uncomfortable between me and my crush than rejection."

[Nikolas]

Colten smiled as he heard him speak about how he felt about Jason a ping of jealousy hit him as he heard about the other. He would shrug a bit then let his eyes flicker over to his check picking it up before pulling out his own wallet placing money down. " Well its good he has a girlfriend that can cook its really rare these days most women only know how to make instant items." he would then lean back just watching him drool made him wonder what else could make the other drool.

 

" Well depends on how you feel about it all personally if you like to wait and see if feelings grow then that is the best way to go. Normally but its going to be awkward anyways once you get down to the fact you wish to tell him how you feel or her.." he would shrug then smile as he waved the waitress over to take his money for his bill. " But long as you go in with the confession with your true feelings I am sure that well in the end you didn't just wait around and let it slip by to see them walk off with another with out speaking your mind."

[pandamonium]

He nodded to Colten's comment and took one last sip of his water. The waitress walked over to their table and took their bill. She thanked them and left. He slid his wallet back into his pocket and stood up.

"Yeah, I guess. It's whatever, I guess. Didn't really notice." He muttered.

 

"Well...I've never been in a relationship. Can't say I've never felt something towards someone. When I confess to that person I like, it won't be the first time. I once confessed to this girl I really liked in high school. But I'll do it soon. So just be a bit patient." He said trying to subtly hint at what was going to come. He picked up his mess of wrappers and napkins.

[Nikolas]

Colten smirked as he folded his wallet after leaving a tip and picking up his mess as well he heard the other say what he did about confessing. He would get up then moved toward the other leaning toward him as he spoke softly into his ear " Well, I will be waiting." he would stand back up right moving to the door gesturing to it " Lets get you back to your car hmm and home." he grinned as he let his eyes wander over him curiously.

 

He would then push the door open heading out fully with a grin on his face as he lead the way out went to get into his car as well. Colten was starting to find the way Abel acted rather cute in a manner of speaking he would then tap his stirring wheel with a devious grin on his face part of him thought about being more forward then he was.

[pandamonium]

Abel blushed and looked away. Damn, I get flustered way too easily he thought to himself. He tried to keep himself from getting too nervous. He took deep breathes and exhaled until he called himself down.

"Okay, thank you for your patience."

He nodded and followed Colten outside.

 

Once they got to Colten's car, he waited until Colten got inside his car to get in.

"Could you give me some pointers on how to be in a relationship? I want to be able to understand it better. I don't think dating sites and books are very accurate, are they?" He asked nervously.

If the possibility of a relationship were to happen, he wanted to be prepared and not hurt the other person in any way.

[Nikolas]

Colten would star up the car with a smile as he chuckled some thinking for a moment about what the other was saying to him about. " Your very much welcome." He would tilt his his head to the side at the question as he put the car into gear and started to drive the car back to Tony's house so Abel could pick up his car. He would grinned for a moment as he thought about it as he rubbed his chin a bit thinking.

 

" Well for one being honest is the first start to things I would say also try to keep things open between the two of you. " He would think for a moment as he tilted his head to the side " I think also being clear with what you want when you enter the relationship if you want to be in a closed relationship or an open one." He would grin as he tilted his head to the side trying to think.

[pandamonium]

Abel nodded and smiled.

"Okay. So...honesty, openness and knowing what you want from each other in the beginning. Thank you, is there anything else?"

He played with his seatbelt and looked outside the window. Feeling a bit excited at maybe a chance of being with Colten.

 

"I'm really thankful for the advice you're giving me. It's really useful. I hope to be a great boyfriend for whoever I date. About it being Assn open or closed relationship...I'd say open with close friends, closed with everyone else. Once I know that I love this person dearly and wished to be with them for the rest of my life, then I'd be open with everyone else." He grinned and nervously fiddled with his hair.

[Nikolas]

Colten would smile as he let his eyes wander over him for a long moment..

" Yes, those are all things are important" He said in a calm manner as he grinned at him thinking for a long moment as he tilted his head to the side.

 

" Now what I meant by open and closed relationship its more like if you would like to be with other people sexually or not." he said as he shook his head to the side with a grin. He would pull up in front of Abel's car then looked over to him after he put it into park with a grin. " But keeping a private relationship is what you were thinking."

[pandamonium]

Abel facepalmed and flushed red. His ears tinted red.

"I'm sorry. I misunderstood. Well, that's embarrassing." He muttered.

Once he calmed down, he looked out the window. After some time, he responded to Colten's question.

"Well, it's up to my lover. If they want to be in an open relationship, then I'd support them. But if they don't want an open, then we won't have one. I'm pretty open-minded, I guess."

 

When they arrived back to Tony's place, Abel got out of the car and turned to Colten.

"I'll show you the way towards my apartment."

He turned and headed to his own car. He got in and turned on the ignition. He pulled out of where he was parked and began to drive towards his apartment.
