“It’s not even a date it’s like…a group outing.” Thomas told his sister who just ended up rolling her eyes once again. If their was someone he loved more than Elliot it was Juliet, they had a stronger brother sister than normal it was probably due to their shitty parents but Thomas didn’t like to think about it. “It’s not healthy to sit up in your room all day watching BuzzFeed videos.” He stated simply starting towards her closet as Juliet looked up from her laptop screen “Eugene is so cute though.” Her argument made Thomas want to roll his eyes but she was right, he was a cute man. While digging through what seemed like thousands of tank tops and sweat pants he found a nice white romper, he tossed the article of clothing on her bed “You look good in white.” He stated simply knowing she would have some argument or plead for her to stay home.
“I don’t need to go out with a guy to be happy, Thomas. I also don’t want my brother’s girlfriend finding me a boy to go on a date with, also don’t want to go on a double date with my brother and his girlfriend. This is next level desperate shit.” She argued as she closed her laptop. Juliet never took a liking to boys unless it was Thomas, in a way boys scared her they were just…different. She was never able to grasp the concept of them or understand them and that was just terrifying. Thomas laughed softly at her argument, though she wasn’t wrong the double date thing was lame but it was a good excuse for him to keep an eye on her, “Listen. You are walking out that door with that boy in five minutes either dressed cute and ready for summer or like a homeless person hiding away for the winter, either way you are going so get dressed.” And that was Thomas’s last words before walking out to call Elliot with a quiet sigh. When she picked up he wasted no time with his usual sweet introduction, “Please tell me the guy is really cute. I don’t doubt your ability to pick cute guys but he needs to be cuter than me, mission impossible I know but tell me he’s cute.”
One of the reasons Thomas didn’t know who Teddy was is that he’s the only straight guy who works with her, and he’s, well, he’s fucking gorgeous. And even though he won’t admit it, Elliot knows Thomas would be jealous if he knew Elliot was working late with this guy. And if Ell’s being honest, if she weren’t madly in love with Thomas, she’d probably be all over Teddy, but since she can’t: she’ll just have to set him up with her favorite soon-to-be sister in law.
Since Teddy came over for Elliot’s help on what to wear, Elliot was currently holding up about six ties to the medium grey color of Teddy’s shirt trying to see which one matched the best. “Hey baby,” Elliot says sweetly to the Thomas, and she can’t help but giggle when he started to panic to her about how cute Teddy needed to be. “This one,” she tilted the phone away to whisper to Teddy, handing him a matte black tie. “Stop worrying, Thomas, Julie deserves nothing but the best and I have definitely delivered,” she assures him, playfully winking at Teddy as he laughs at her. She scampers off to her bedroom, eyeing the dresses on her bed, still holding the phone to her ear. “What are you wearing tonight, baby? Because I have the pink dress laid out, but I really like the pink one too. Which do you think is better?”
Teddy was terrible at dates. He was smooth when it came to casual flirting, phone calls, even texting. But when he knew he had to sit and have dinner with a girl he’d never met and actually impress her? His palms were sweating. He’d honestly only trusted Elliot on this date because they’d become such close friends at work, and he really only agreed to go when Elliot said she and Thomas would go, just to make it a double date. And he can’t help the little ball of nervousness in his stomach that he’s about to meet Thomas, who could possibly hate him for both hanging out with Elliot and potentially dating his sister. Great. He sighs loudly, grimacing at his reflection in the mirror. “Ell!” he called to her from where he stood in her studio, “Ell I’ve been working in fashion for six years and can’t tie a tie! Help!”
