guiisnextdoor (Jonah/Clyde)

it happened to be one of those nights where his expectations were undergound before he got picked right up to set a new standard for what he should accept in a date. clyde was dreamy, a hunk with a personality who also happened to like him? jonah was scared of thinking this could be one elaborate prank by his friends hiring someone that was simply too good a match for him. but unwilling and actively fighting against his insecurities, he took a breath in and let the evening happened. and it did, it so did.
yet as he joined the man walking him to his apartment building, he wondered of ways to stretch the date just a little bit more. even walking slower counted. they had to eventually stop, however. “funny enough, i was about to say the same thing.” he sighed smiling, boy how ridiculous he felt being so smitten with him. one look into his eyes, no other words between them. letting a comfortable silence take shape between them was rewarding. he placed a hand, gently, over clyde’s cheek when kissing him back. the gesture alone sent a jolt down his spine, but he was so damn grateful he’d taken that step instead.
jonah could still taste a hint of the wine shared earlier, somehow tasting even better coming from his breath. “oh,” he froze, his mouth running dry fast. why was his mind playing games on him at that point. “you’re trouble” he looked down and chuckled, when in fact he was buying some time to make his mind. “i wanna go inside” his hand had now slid down to the man’s chest, a finger sneaked past the opening at the middle to get a feel of his skin. “but i also want a second date” jonah bit his lip and gathered some strength to speak his mind first. “i don’t know about you but i liked you, you’re more than a funny and charming man. and you are plenty of that.” he laughed, licked his bottom lip to wet it a little. “if i’m being honest, and i do want to be honest with you even if it scares you away. i… would love having more of this” he reached up and placed a finger over clyde’s lips. his eyes fixated there for over a couple seconds. “but i’m worried doing more would sell you against the idea of more nights like tonight”
Clyde chuckled a little at being called trouble, that was easily the nickname he was most used to and was more than happy to live up to that title. He worried for a second that maybe he’d been too forward, to wicked but as the seconds ticked by he felt that worry just slowly going away while he listened to the other man. He gentlt sighed feeling the finger on his chest, the touch like a jolt that went through his entire body, then to his lips where he had to really resist the urge to suck on it. Slowly his hands just moved over to rest on Jonah’s hips “Jonah… I don’t think there’s a way you could deter me from having more nights like this. I’m trying to think of something you could do, I really am but unless you’re not potty trained or are some secret axe murderer, I think you’ve pretty much guaranteed a second date” he joked, chuckling a little as he leaned in close to nuzzle against the other man “Saturday… dinner, 7pm, I’ll make us something nice so you officially have a second dinner already lined up”.
Thinking for a minute, he gently patted the man’s hip “But I don’t wanna pressure you, I really don’t cos I like you a lot Jonah so… how about this” he stepped back a little and reached behind him, opening the door of his apartment and putting the door stopper on to hold it in place “I’m gonna go in and make myself a drink like I normally would, I’ll put a second glass out right beside it for you… if you want to join me, you come on in and take your drink. If you don’t, you can close the door and I’ll see you on Saturday for our second date” he was smiling as sweetly as he could, just looking into those eyes “If it’s any incentive, it’s a really good brandy” he teased before he went in exactly as he normally would… which meant he ever so casually undid his shirt, letting it hang open as he walked over to his little bar that was almost perfectly opposite the front door. He laid out the pair of glasses, prepared his own drink while leaving the bottle out so he could get another if needed and just leaned against it, his shirt hanging open showing off his chest as he took a sip from the drink, trying not to obviously stare at Jonah even though he really wanted to.
