His first night with Judas had been surprisingly enjoyable, and though a few weeks had passed and Lonnie had thought about deleting the male’s number from his phone…he didn’t, and after browsing through his app for nearly an hour and finding nobody worth a second look, he sighed and sent a quick text message to the male.
Quote: If you’re free tonight, would you like to have dinner and come back to my place? Yes this is breaking my rules. Yes. I tried the app first. Everyone seemed like they were too stupid to be worth my time. But at least you have good conversation. What do you say? - Lonnie
The male stared at the text message for a long while before he sent it, and promptly put his phone face down on the table and went to the bathroom, fully intending to freshen up, just in case…and he supposed…he would have to do a little bit of cleaning too.
Perhaps this plan wasn’t very well thought out but.
Then again, maybe it would all work out in the end…if it didn’t.
He could simply delete the number and be done.

Judas looked up when his phone went off. Setting the book he'd been reading, he flicked open the message Quote: Gasp. Breaking your rules, for little ole me? I'm honored. Judas snickered as he fired off the text, rapidly typing up another. Quote: I'm off today so once again, I'm yours for as long as you'll have me. And to be fair, is anyone really worth your time? I will try to do my best to not waste it though. What time were you thinking, and how, uh, dressed up do I need to be? Admittedly, Judas really hadn't used the app much since their initial run either. No one seemed to spark interest. Photos were either horribly staged and edited, or their personality just stunk. Be it through texts or their again horribly edited bios.

He snorted, but there was an almost fond smile on Lonnie’s face, and though he was thankful that nobody else could see it, it was still there.
Quote: Meet me at the same place we ate at last time. Say, half an hour from now? Expect to be out all night, perhaps late into the morning if you have nothing better to do, if you do have something better to do, then simply expect to be out late tonight. Dress in whatever is comfortable.
He hadn’t needed to write a book, nor did he have to leave the house right then, but…
He couldn’t simply let Judas wait for him. Not when he had issued the invitation.
So once again, he was back in the diner that the two had met, sitting at the same table, though this time his eyes were on the door with anticipation rather than simple boredom.

Oh thank god. He didn't hafta get super fancy. That now begged the question... What to wear?
A half hour later found Judas pushing open the door to the diner once again. A quick glance confirmed that was in the same booth as last time. Not that it wouldn't have been hard to find him, with all that fabulous hair. "Were you waiting long? I'm sorry." He asked, sliding into the seat across from Lonnie. He could have sworn he was on time. "How was your day? Decent, I trust?"
Sure, small talk could be boring, but at least they weren't sitting in silence the whole time.

Lonnie gave a small smile, amused with the small talk. “Decent. But it’s better now. I’m glad you made it. I’ve already ordered for us, and I hope that’s okay. I just got what we had last time, I thought we should make this part quick, if you’d like.”
Thinking for a moment, Lonnie slid his hand across the table, holding it palm up and giving Judas a look. Clearly, it was an invitation to hold hands. If he wanted.
“How was yours? I’m hoping it got better the moment your eyes landed on me, and if that isn’t the case…you should tell me anyway. I do enjoy being flattered, just so you’re aware.”

"Aw, aren't you a sweet talker." Judas said, with a small smile of his own. "That's fine with me though." He would have done the same, had their places were swapped.
Judas blinked, looking at the hand for a moment before tentatively sliding his hand into Lonnie's.
"It did in fact, get better once you texted me." He said, trying to ignore the flush that crept over his cheeks. "Even more so when I saw you. Both my day up and till then, and the book I'd been reading, pale in comparison to you." He grinned. "Oh, I'm well aware. How was that, or should I keep going?"

Lonnie was almost grinning now, his eyes bright with mirth. Slowly, he laced his fingers through Judas’, curling his own around the male’s hand. “I’m very glad that it got better when I texted, and that is as it should be. I light up a room, I make everyone’s life that much better.” He chuckled. “I would never stop you from flattering me, Judas. Trust me.”
He grinned again and let his thumb softly rub the back of the male’s hand. “So. What ideas do you have for tonight. Are you able to stay until morning? With me breaking all the rules, I figure a sleepover would be best.”
Hopefully…it would turn out as good as it sounded in his head. He honestly didn’t want to think about what would happen if it didn’t.

"You certainly do. It's an absolute marvel how I lived before without such light in my life. How did I survive." He sighed playfully, his gaze flicking to their hands for a moment. It was... nice. Judas just hoped he wasn't as stiff as he thought he was.
"I can stay till morning. My shift is in the afternoon so I'm yours till then, as promised." Judas said softly. "As for ideas. Let's start with with the sleep over and see where the evening takes us?" Judas was sure, between the two of them, they could easily figure out a few ideas. There was always the old reliable of just talking and getting to know each other, but that would only get them so far.

Lonnie watched him and hummed thoughtfully, though looked both amused and pleased from the words. “It’s true. I’m happy to drive you to work if you feel like staying that long too.”
For a moment, Lonnie couldn’t quite believe that such words were coming from his own mouth but. Judas was easy to be around and…well. That was rare. “But your ideas seem sensible as well, and I’m quite fine with seeing where things go and adjusting myself accordingly.”
His thumb lightly traced a spiral on the male’s hand and suddenly, Lonnie wanted to be away from here. Wanted to be home already. Wanted to be spending time with Judas. “...I do hope that the food gets here quickly. How upset would you be if I asked for it to be a togo order…?”

"The shop isn't to far from here actually. That little book nook that kinda has that more gothic, witchy vibe to it? I work there to help out a friend of mine." Whoops. Guess Lonnie wasn't the only one breaking their rules. "But I would not mind the company, if you're still up for dropping me off." Clothes might be a small problem, but easily fixable.
Judas grinned slyly. "We're both pretty flexible as I recall. I think we'll be able to 'adjust accordingly' just fine." Was he playing with fire? Yes. Yes he was. But it was always fun to see that fire light in someone's eyes.
His gaze flickered to their hands again. ...Was his skin on fire? Was he vibrating?
Maybe both. This was all so new to him, despite everything.
He almost missed that Lonnie had said something, eyes flicking back to Lonnie. "How could I be upset, when I am with you?" Judas asked, giving Lonnie's hand a small squeeze.

Lonnie chuckled and he licked his lips, nodding at Judas. “That sounds like a fun place to check out. Perhaps I’ll bother you while you work. I do love gothic, witchy vibes. And I adore books.”
He paused, breaking off and flagging down their waitress, handing her his card and asking for their food to be brought out in togo containers. “So, that’s the plan for right now, we’ll head back to my place and see what comes of it.”
The food was brought swiftly and Lonnie signed the check, scooping the bag up with one hand and pulling Judas out of his seat with his other, making sure to lace fingers with the male as he pulled him out of the diner.
…He had plans for the night. And the faster they got back to his house, the better.
