tastes like pumpkin pie.

Call me Eli or Elias, just call me something. Full-time cook. Part time on-request makeup artist. If you need someone for your next party, I know how to mix drinks. ~

Does anyone happen to have a pet I can borrow for a few moments? Just to pet them. It’s been a long week and it’s only Wednesday.

Dog or cat, you’ve got your choice.

“Oh, good. I’m glad. It’s very nice to meet you, Eli.” Jem let out a light hearted chuckle, happy to find someone else who was there for the event and who seemed interested. “I am. Also, if you’re not into guys, feel free to let me know. If nothing else, it just means I came out of here with a new friend.” The glance over hadn’t been noticed as the illustrator got caught up in his own mind. He hadn’t quite gotten a hold of what had made him brave enough to approach, but he was grateful for whatever it was.

New friend. This guy was cute if not just a little oblivious, his little ramble causing the corners of his lips to quirk up. “I don’t have a hard line on anyone,” Elias assured him, though that preference did skew more towards masculine-aligned individuals than others. Glancing to a nearby booth he gestured towards it and  started making his way over, further assuring this guy he had the green light. “But if I did, it wouldn’t be on you.” The once-over was made much more obvious the second time around, coolly taking a sip from the drink that was in his hand.

It had been a while since Jem had ended up at something like this, and he’d never had much luck. Mostly because he always ended up getting caught up in a subject instead of getting to move around. It had also been a few months since his relationship ended (despite friends telling him it was doomed from the start), so he was brand new to the dating field once more. There were lots of people around. A warm yet nervous smile greeted each person. A few seemed to be his type, but would he end up being anyone else’s type. Eventually, he made his way to someone. “Hi. Name’s Jem. A-are you here for the event?” He asked curiously. 

Eli’s head turned as he heard the other man’s voice, offering a similar smile to the one Jem afforded him. It seemed everyone in this place was vibrating at the same nervous but optimistic frequency. “You can call me Eli,” he said politely along with a nod. This guy had a streak of bravery approaching another guy here without indication of his sexuality and that managed to score him some points - he wasn’t sure himself how eager he’d be to make that plunge. “I am, yeah. Guessing you are as well?” he responded, giving a quick glance over to show this guy he was barking up the right tree.

F2F || Jem & Elias

The coffee shop had filled up quite nicely with patrons filling in, nametags passed out to each that walked up to a table towards the entrance. Elias was one of the ones that’d come here today for a reason - he was lonelier than he’d like to admit. With it being over a year since his last serious relationship and the emptiness of the stray hookup he thought this might be a good way to start putting himself out there again. He quickly ordered a mocha from the counter and made his way further in, offering polite smiles and small talk to those around. He was one of the lucky ones, he thought. He had plenty of choices today.

Most things do.

Are you looking for anyone specific here? 

[lightofeli]

beatricefabray​:

Nerves? A bit. Hope- unsure about that.

Oh, well with confidence like that you’re sure to find someone. Looks pretty on you. 

[lightofeli]

mottasugar​:

Not anymore!

Well, I hope you aren’t single for a long time then! Did you meet them here or before? 

[lightofeli]

charmingeveningrosecharlie​:

Hope it works out for you.

I hope it works out for you too!

[lightofeli]

rhett-incognito​:

I’ll play up the whole ‘I haven’t seen you in forever’ thing to a tee. Same here. If you need me, I got your back, man.

I’m stronger than I may look, but thank you. 

[lightofeli]

beatricefabray​:

Me too!

Well, I hope the coffee in the air helps with the nerves, if you have any. 

[lightofeli]

mottasugar​:

Positive vibes are out to all you single peeps!

Implying you’re not one. 

[lightofeli]

rhett-incognito​:

Aw, thanks! I’m sure there are plenty my type there, but am I their type is the question. If anything, I could make some new friends. That’s always good.

You know what I look like so if things go too far south, just pretend you know me. I’m good at getting people out of situations. 

[lightofeli]

rhett-incognito​:

Best of luck. I’ll be lucky if I even get the first, but the coffee will make up for it.

Don’t talk yourself down, you’re an attractive man and I’m sure you could find someone you’d like there. 

[lightofeli]

On my way to possibly, maybe, hopefully find someone I’d have a second date with.

It is exciting. It means I get advance notice of any homes that are coming on the market. I’m actually not sure why that’s exciting to me. Maybe I enjoy decorating homes and making them more inviting. Maybe I just enjoy the money. I guess we’ll never know.

Good chance it’s both.. It’s quite difficult to imagine getting too excited about something if you’re not enjoying yourself at each part along the way. 

[lightofeli]

deathdefyreyes​:

That is not normal friendship behavior.

I don’t understand what’s gotten into everyone lately.

I strictly don’t answer if I’m unable to be of service. Maybe try that?

This was me saying I’m not going to answer them anymore.
