Hugo Nash

Hey! Hugo, here. Looking to make some new friends while here at college. If you're into adventure, I'm your guy.

  He was the one blushing now, “You said we and our in the same sentence, Hugo I dare say you’re in love,” he said in a teasing just inquisitive way.

[hugo-duck]

[Hugo blushed and drank water to distract from it.]  N-no I just... I want this to work out.  [He smiled and looked Robin in the eyes.  His heart lifted knowing the boy across him felt the same way he did. He listened to the slight accent in his voice, which started to soften as he spent more time in America (though Hugo wished it would stay the same).  He savored the subtle ticks of how Robin reacted in nervous moments, heartwarming ones, or even annoyed ones.  Something about this boy made him more and more infatuated with each moment.]

  He laughed in disbelief, “Hugo, I asked you out before I even knew who you were. I’m from across the pond there was no way I could have known you’d be here or even of your family before we met… I,” he paused considering his words carefully, it seemed Hugo still had doubts, … I love you, he thought to himself…

"…I’m really into you," he decided to say, "I like you for you, you could have never mentioned the money and I’d of been interested in you just the same," he said a bit hurt that he didn’t trust him.

The waiter showed up and Robin ordered, “I’ll have the Crab Alfredo please,” he said nodding up to Hugo wishing they hadn’t been interrupted but glad they were all the same, “And a iced tea, no sugar.”

[hugo-duck]

[Hugo ordered his meal and returned the menus to the waiter.  He then turned his attention back to Robin with a blush.]  I... I know all that.  And don't think I don't trust you.  It's just... I don't want our relationship to be based on the things we have.  I want it to build upon how we feel with each other.  You know what I mean?

  He squeezed on Hugo’s thigh in passionate reply, “Hugo, it’s not about having money it’s about how you choose to live with it,” he looked into his eyes, “We don’t have to live richly to be happy…” he felt embarrassed by saying ‘we’ almost before he’d finished saying it.

"I didn’t mean ‘we’ well, I wouldn’t mind if we were still… But what I meant was," he lowered his hand from Hugo in embarrassment and looked away.

[hugo-duck]

I know what you meant.  [Hugo smiled as he slowly ate his biscuit.]  It's very hard to believe I could be good enough for someone like you.  [He gulped, being painfully honest about his insecurities.]  I want to be sure that you like me, even without the perks of having a lot of money.

And of course, if things got more serious, that could change and I could tap into my family's funds more.  But until then, I'm happy just like this.

  Moe smiled as she picked up the helmet and got on the bike. After she put on the helmet, she held onto him as the bike started.

[hugo-duck]

You're pretty used to this already, huh?  [Terrence joked as he drove cautiously through the streets.  Eventually they made it to the destination.]

So, I should probably come in with you, right?  I mean, I couldn't take you home if I didn't.

  "Hugo, stop worrying about it," he said getting a bit agitated that Hugo could ever think he wasn’t good enough, "I’m dating you, not your wallet, although your family could help you out a bit more personally… I get teaching you a lesson in responsibility but you shouldn’t have to splurge to be with me and worry about getting supplies for yourself when they’re living high," he’d gotten a bit out of hand and knew it, "I’m sorry, if I’d said much more I’d of given myself a bloody cheek."

He reached for Hugo’s thigh under the table and attempted to soothe him in a purely non-sexual way.

[hugo-duck]

Thanks... [Hugo placed his hand on Robin's with a smile.]  And yes, I know, my family's rich I could have more money if I needed.  But... I sort of like it this way.  Someday I'll take over my uncle's business, at least that's the plan.  And if I'm making the kind of money he does, I want to have memories of the times I had to work with what I had.

[aloneandfree-elise]

  Well, congratulations on doing better than you thought.

[hugo-duck]

Thanks, I do try.

  Robin held the door open for Hugo and allowed him to enter first, he was simply trying to be a gentleman, “It’s kind of dark in here… My eyes will need time to adjust,” he said as he walked to the lobster tank up front.

[hugo-duck]

[Hugo gave his name and the two were promptly seated.]  Perfect.  [Hugo smiled as he took a biscuit from the middle of their table.]  I hope it's okay.  This is the best I could do.

  Robin walked at a quicker pace, the increase in speed was easy for him but he didn’t want to leave Hugo in the dust like their first date, “Do you think you can keep up,” he said teasing him as he pulled a head a bit still holding his hand.

[hugo-duck]

I can!  [Hugo chuckled and pulled himself to keep up with Robin.  Eventually, the two made it to the restaurant and Hugo let out a satisfied breadth.]

Well, we made it.  I'm glad we have a table waiting for us.  I'm hungry.

[puppy-peytontaylor]

  Good luck with that… What are you majoring in?

[hugo-duck]

Business Management.  Exciting, I know.

[puppy-peytontaylor]

  Congratulations.

[hugo-duck]

Thanks.  Now to take even harder classes in the Fall.  [He chuckled.]

[aloneandfree-elise]

  What does ‘not bad’ mean?

[hugo-duck]

It means I did better than I thought... but not spectacular.

[scamperingscottybart]

  Hey, way to go! Didja pass?

[hugo-duck]

More than passed, I managed a B+.

[raggedysadiewalsh]

  Not bad as in “could’ve done better” or “I’m so awesome”?

[hugo-duck]

A little bit of both, actually.

[hugo-duck]

Got my grade for my summer class... not bad.

  He smiled, “Other than you all I really have here is Aria… Well, and those three who came with me but they’re all off trying to adjust so I hardly see them,” he kissed Hugo’s cheek, “I feel the same way…”

He shifted his weight to the bend of a knee causing his left foot to raise slightly as he reached in his right pocket for his phone, he didn’t realize it but this showed off his butt rather well once again, “We have like fifteen minutes left Hugo, should we call a cab or will we walk the rest of the way,” he asked knowing if they walked it’d be a bit of a rush but manageable.

[hugo-duck]

Let's just walk.  It's only, like, five minutes from here.  [Hugo pointed down the road.]  You can't see it yet, but it's right down the road.  [He tightened his grip on Robin's hand.]  Let's hurry up, though.

  "You’re rather confident today, have I missed something." he asked, "I’m not trying to be offensive it’s just… There’s something different today… In a good way," he made sure to add really caring for Hugo and simply curious as to what had changed for him in such a positive way recently.

[hugo-duck]

[Hugo shrugged.]  I'm happy to finally spend time with you.  I don't really have to many friends here... you're the one person that really makes me feel at home here.

  Robin stood there for a moment as his goosebumps subsided from what Hugo had just said about him, “You need to stop being so adorable… It’s making me more nervous,” he said as he took a breath and began to lead Hugo around publicly as a couple for the first time.

"You know… If I faint before we get the restaurant at least you can save your money…. If I do it there, we can blame it on their food," he said with a nervously giddy tone.

[hugo-duck]

[Hugo laughed at the joke.  It wasn't very funny, but the nervousness was what he found adorable.]  Don't worry, there'll be no fainting on my watch.
