Trevor glanced over to the younger, raising a brow before giving a slight smirk. “Guessin’ it’s y’firs’ Pride, yeah?” He chuckled softly, shoving one hand into his pocket, the other holding tight onto his umbrella. “It gets easier later on, trus’ me. T’is is me… God… Eighteenth pride? Maybe more? Only bad t’ing ‘bout pride is when it starts gettin’ hotter later on. I can show ya ‘round if y’want?”

“Oh, yeah,” CJ nodded. “I’m also not the best with crowds, so..” They shrugged, looking down a little. “Oh wow, eighteenth? That’s awesome. I’m okay with hotter, I like the heat,” CJ smiled. “Oh, uh. You don’t have to, I’m sure you’ve got other stuff to do.”

The young philosopher had been absentee from mosh pits at concerts for the past two years aside from the one he had attended with his fiancee earlier in the week– crowds were still intimidating for him. His claustrophobia had subsided to a degree, but anxiety still formed a lump in his throat seeing just how many people would be in the Pride parade. Granted, this was New York, and he should have expected no less. “It is. However, it won’t be as rowdy as a Pride Parade in the UK would be, so I suppose you’re in luck,” he commented idly, taking a sip from his can of energy drink, fixing the pan pin on the lapel of his suit jacket.

CJ looked at the man beside them, grimacing a little at the image went through their head. They made a mental note to never go to Pride in the UK. “Oh,” they mumbled. “Well, I guess being here is better for me,” CJ chuckled, shoving their hands into the pockets of their rainbow colored romper. “This is all still a lot for me, but I’m doing better than I thought I would.” CJ shrugged, glancing around as a few yells were let out near them. It was getting easier, but they still couldn’t help the flinch at the sudden loud noises.

Roland was coming back to CJ, just hearing the sentence towards the end. He had two bottles of water in hand that he had to go buy because seemingly between the two they remembered face paint but nothing to drink. “It’s a lot.” The two were similiar in that way and knew each other the best, if he didn’t have him he wasn’t sure how he would be handling the large crowds and lots of music. “At least we look cute!” Roland tried to be a bit more cheerful, offering a giggle to make him smile. He held out the bottle of water.

Smiling down at the other, CJ grabbed the water and pressed a kiss to Roland’s cheek. “We definitely do look cute, but you look especially handsome. Thank you for picking these out,” they said, motioning to their outfits. CJ was happy to have Roland there with them, their friendship built on a weird but solid foundation. “Are you having fun, Ro?”

“You like what I’m wearing, darling?” He was wearing nothing but his God-damn rainbow underwear, his naked body was now painted in colorful bisexual streaks. Ryan was having the time of his life. He was meeting cute boys and gals and the parade was just starting up. He could feel the excitement building already. Music pumped across the street. “Sick right? So what do you say, you wanna watch the parade with me?” 

[callxmexcj]

“You know that I do,” they grinned at the man. CJ hadn’t quite gone all out as Ryan did, but they were wearing what Roland had picked out for them to wear, even if it was a bit warm. They had pansexual colors paint on one cheek and a heart sticker on the other, both shifting at they smiled. “You look amazing. Of course I’ll watch the parade with you.”

CJ was not at all used to crowds of this size, but they knew that being in this crowd wouldn’t be terrible. They knew, logically, that this crowd was probably safer than most, but still, they were a bit overwhelmed. There was so much going on and CJ didn’t want to miss it, being that this was their first time to a pride event, ever. “This is crazy,” they said to no one in particular.

“Oh.. CJ.” Ryan’s smile became big when he realised who they were. It’s been awhile though it’s all his fault for contributing too much of his time into his work. It gets him money though and he’s thankful now he’s got enough to at least keep him fed for the next two months or so. Still he felt guilty for pulling the disappearing act on CJ. Or should he? People disappear on him all the time. Including Keegan whom he’d grown attraction to at one point. “I haven’t seen you in such a long time.. Let’s take the long walk.” He smiled and wrapped his fingers around their bicep. “How have you been, darling?”

Seeing Ryan’s face light up when he saw CJ made their stomach flutter. It had indeed been a long time since they’d last seen the man, but they didn’t blame the man. Life got in the way a lot, and they knew that. “Long walk it is,” they hummed happily, placing their free hand over Ryan’s. “I’ve been good. A bit busy with finals for school, but those are done and now I have the summer for myself mostly. And yourself? I hope life has been good to you.”

Ryan had just clocked out and was putting on his denim jacket around him as he walked out of his club despite the fact that it was so much warmer on the outside. With the night being so young still, the male stripper thought it would be nice if he could just have a quick stroll to wade off his exhaustion. Looking to his side, he spotted someone and smiled at them. “You look bored and a little lonely if I may say. Have a short walk with me, will you?” He asked.

CJ had been out for a walk to clear their head after a weirdly dream filled nap. They wouldn’t exactly call them nightmares, as they had had much worse, but it wasn’t all rainbows and such. They didn’t even noticed where they had walked, just gone where ever they fancied, until they heard that familiar voice. “Ryan,” CJ smiled, nodding. “I’ll take a long walk if you’d like,” they replied, stepping up to the man.

“I’ll always come back for you.” It was sappy, and Roland and CJ made a good old married persons couple. They bickered but at the end Roland truly loved them more than he could love anyone else. They were always the number one to him, and Roland would choose them over anyone else in their current lives. “Okay food.” Roland was an easy boy to please - offer him some snacks and he will be on your side. “Maybe we get pizza and to my place? Will you sleepover?” Roland had just moved back in, boxes everywhere, and if he was honest he could use some support and help from them. On top,he just wanted reason for CJ to come back to his place so they could snuggle on the sofa he has ; no bed yet.

“I’ll always be here for you when you do,” they smiled. CJ loved Roland, and was so happy to see he was doing much better. They would always support the man in any decision he wanted to take and would be there no matter what. “Pizza sounds great,” CJ smiled. “Of course I’ll sleep over, you never have to ask,” they replied, squeezing Roland’s hand in their’s. “I’m glad we’re in the same building now. We can just visit each other as much as we like. And you’re in luck, as I just finished my classes for the year, so I have all summer for us to hang out.”
