Dexter: Oh is that right? Care to start then?

Dexter: Oh man, I'm telling you it was the best thing I've put in my mouth in a long time

Dexter: So we've gotta have it or else the night won't be complete

Dexter: Anytime, pal!

Dexter: Though I'm having pizza so I mean, can't relate

Sebastian: I'd love to start with you, but can't bother you and your pizza right now ;)

Sebastian: Wow, Dex.. I feel like I should be jealous, yet i'm just wanting more.

Sebastian: What kind of pizza? Is it pineapple or barbecue?

Gray: Book first, movie second.

Gray: Honestly, books are so much more nuanced. Movies are good adaptations, but due to time and budget restraints, you never really get the full scope of the story.

Gray: See: every movie based off a book ever lmao

Sebastian: You have a valid point!

Sebastian: I actually overheard a conversation earlier where someone just blatantly said they prefer movies to books.

Sebastian: I feel so sorry for today's generation.

Sebastian: What's your favorite book?

Text ✉ Dexter

Dexter: You're such a tease it isn't fair you know

Dexter: Whenever you want, no pressure

Dexter: haha, honestly I don't remember!

Dexter: I'm assuming at some point I went to the grocery store and bought like a whole ass cake

Dexter: well, it was a cheesecake but it was still a cake

Dexter: and i woke up and had graham cracker crumbs all over me and there was cream cheese all in the bed, it was a disaster lol

Dexter: but it must have been damn good because i couldn't find any leftovers 😂

Sebastian: I've yet to begin ;)

Sebastian: Okay so here's what we're going to do after buying Ralph and enjoying a nice dinner. We're going back to the grocery store to buy that cake.

Sebastian: I would love to try it if you couldn't even find the LEFTOVERS!

Sebastian: I'm also starving right now but I don't know if I want FOOD or cheesecake, so thanks Dex!

Dexter: Don't threaten me with a good time Mr. Morgan 😉

Dexter: Well, I hate to hear that. If you want company you know I'm around

Dexter: Uhhh

Dexter: well, from what I can remember I danced a lot

Dexter: I think I performed 'In The Air Tonight' by Phil Collins on karaoke

Dexter: I woke up in cake one night lol

Sebastian: Oh, I totally will threaten you with a great time Dr. Archibald ;)

Sebastian: I would love that, maybe i'll tell you more about it after we buy Ralph.

Sebastian: Hold up, I missed you doing KARAOKE, and waking up in cake? Please, start from the beginning.

Dexter: Speaking of which, we've to make a date to get Ralph sometime soon, huh?

Dexter: Everything alright?

Dexter: Ha, no. No grocery store crashes

Dexter: Though I have gotten pretty trashed whilst you were gone so that was interesting.

Sebastian: Tomorrow? At 6pm? Maybe even a nice dinner on me? Not literally -- but we can make that happen too (;

Sebastian: Not really, but i'd rather not talk about it or you'd be just as depressed as I am lol.

Sebastian: Oh yeah? Share some interesting stories!

[sebastianmorgan]

Text ✉ Dexter

Dexter: Maybe I did!

Dexter: oh my god, you named him RALPH

Dexter: I've missed you too!

Dexter: Where'd you disappear to?

Sebastian: I knew it! Alright, i'll send you lame dad jokes every once in a while.

Sebastian: I was watching Wreck it Ralph, and thought? Why not?

Sebastian: My dad needed me, but I didn't think it would be this long. I won't do that again.

Sebastian: What have you been up to? Any more grocery store crashes lately?

[sebastianmorgan]

Text ✉ Dexter

Dexter: i'm blocking you immediately for this dad joke

Dexter: 😂

Sebastian: But you laughed and that's all that matters!

Sebastian: I have more! And it's great practice for my weekends with Ralph (our Cactus)

Sebastian: Also missed you!

“Yes, they’re the ones who established this whole thing,” Nevada stated, “Riviera Estates wouldn’t be a thing if it weren’t for them.” He smiled over at Sebastian, reaching over to squeeze his shoulder. “I wouldn’t scare you off of the island, I like seeing your face around.”

“They have this boozy mocha milkshake at the grotto,” he cooed, “It’s delicious.” Nevada shrugged and reached into the freezer for a different flavor of ice cream. “What do you say about coming back to my place? We can throw a pizza in the oven, and have a bowl of ice cream after.”

“That’s a bit of information that’s actually great to know. I don’t know much about this place.” which was the truth, all Seb did was spend his summers here so when he was here, he was mostly at the beaches or shopping. “How long have you lived here?” he found himself asking the stranger. A smile crosses his lips at the compliment, and he was sure his cheeks were turning a light shade of red. “Likewise, which is why i’m hoping we get to run into each other a lot more.” he stated truthfully.

“That oddly doesn’t sound all too bad, but I enjoy trying new things, so i’ll be sure to try that when I go to the Grotto soon.” he added and when he invited him over, Sebastian raised a brow. “That sounds like the perfect way to spend the rest of your night. Why would I say no?” he asked rhetorically. “Ready when you are.”

Dexter poured himself a glass of wine after he’d uncorked it and then poured a glass for Sebastian as well and slid it over in his direction as the man set out the plates. This was way better than being in some restaurant surrounded by other couples, and blind dates being very awkward with each other. At least here, they had privacy and they could do things in their own way, at their own pace and in the comfort of Sebastian’s apartment. 

Dexter snorted and shook his head. “Well, later on I’ll show you how to do it just right. Though, if you never learn I’ll be more than happy to fix you a cocktail whenever you’re in the mood for one.” Dexter said and offered Sebastian a soft smile. Hearing the teasing behind the man’s tone, Dexter smirked and said, “I’m a sucker for a good, creamy filling.” he said with a small snort to follow. “You know, really, I do love anything spicy. Spice has always been abig thing for me, and heat. But I like sour stuff too, like, sour patch kids? My fuckin’ favorite. Lemons, limes, that kinda stuff. You know the typical shit people tend to hate.” he said and laughed softly. 

Putting his plate in lap, Dexter took a bite of his pasta and hummed around it as he finally got some food in his stomach, it was incredible and man it was delicious. “And what exactly is it?” Dexter asked as he leaned back against the sofa and looked over in Seb’s way. “Honestly, you’re gonna laugh.” he said and started laughing softly at himself. “It was a hot dog I got from a hot dog stand. I don’t know how this guy made this hot dog so perfectly, but literally, it was the best thing I had ever tasted. It had like, melted cheese and onions and peppers on it and fuck. Delicious.”

Sebastian thanked Dexter as he grabbed his glass and took a sip from it before placing it onto the table. This moment felt so perfect, he was hoping it didn’t end as quickly. There was so much comfort between the two, that it even scared Sebastian; It was so easy to lose things, even if it was something as simple as this. “I was offered cooking lessons, it is clear I cannot cook, even if it is to make a simple cocktail, so either you can teach me or be my personal drink mixer.” he teased.

Dexter’s words only caused Sebastian to grin wider, “Well, depending on how this night goes, maybe we’ll both enjoy more than just Alfredo and Chinese.” he added. “You’re so cute, I haven’t heard anyone express their love for sour patch kids. I remmeber I ate them as a kid, but I would eat so much my tongue would start feeling weird.” he added. Again, he made a mental note of the candy. 

As he took another bite of his Chinese, Sebastian observed Dexter for a moment. He seemed to be enjoying himself, in fact he wasn’t in a rush to leave or anything. “So Biryani is made up of rice that’s mixed with chicken curry. The blend of all the spices smells amazing, and I will one day buy you a plate to try.” he added. 

“Damn, that does sound like a delicious hot dog. I think the best one i’ve ever had would be in Chicago, but it’s been so long, I don’t even know what it’s called.” he added before eating his food. “Okay, this is your basic first date quetsion, but what are your hobbies?” he asked. 

[sebastianmorgan]

“Okay, no promises. As you seen I’m practically a hoarder, yeah?” Dexter teased. His place wasn’t awful, but you could definitely tell that it was lived in. But Dexter didn’t think that was awful, at least it wasn’t like a picture perfect thing. “I’ll put him high up so it’ll be fine, no need to worry about losing him. But if you really don’t trust me, keep him here.” Dexter said and shrugged a shoulder. Though he knew if Sebastian was serious about this, Dexter would be the one that had the damn cactus. 

“Yeah? Did it turn out good?” Dexter asked with a quirked brow, because he was truly curious how it turned out. And if it didn’t go as planned, well, Dexter could always show him how to make it perfectly tonight. 

Dexter opened the cabinet that Sebastian had mentioned and grabbed a bottle from the top shelf, and looking at the label he smiled. It was good, and nothing too fancy which was a great thing. Dexter definitely wasn’t feeling that bougie. “What?! Brussel sprouts are good!” Dexter said as he joined the other in the living room. “You just gotta wrap them in bacon, then you practically forget you’re eating them. If you got a good imagination anyway.” he teased. “Definitely Escargots. The snails, you know? Weirdest thing I’ve ever put in my mouth by far.” he said with a soft laugh as he took a seat on the sofa. “Alright, what’s the best thing you’ve ever eaten?”

Sebastian could only laugh at the other’s words, “There is nothing wrong with being a hoarder. I don’t think so, that is unless you begin to lose things, then yes we have a problem.” he added. A smile played across his face at the mention of the cactus. He truly was getting Dexter the damn cactus, just because he liked the thought. “You better place him some place high.” he added teasingly.

As he set the small coffee table, Seb placed the plates beside each other and then pulled out the food. His fried rice and Dexter’s Alfredo were placed beside the plates before the bags were placed on the floor just to get things out of the way. As the glasses were set down, Sebastian allowed the man to open up and pour himself a glass.

“For the record, I think I made mine too spicy so it did not turn out that great.” he responded before listening to him speak of snails. Sebastian’s nose scrunched up, partially disgusted, yet amused at his choice of words. “Well, what are some things you enjoy tasting?” he asked with a hint of tease behind his voice. 

With the food now poured and placed onto their plates, Sebastian finally joined Dexter on the sofa, his plate on his lap while he turned just a bit to be able to face him. “The best food i’ve tried so far would be Biryani. It’s a South Asian dish, but it is amazing. How about yourself?” he asked

Once the pair of them reached Sebastian’s home, Dexter took it upon himself to have a look around. He might as well get familiar with the place seeing as he felt him and Sebastian would be seeing a lot of one another and more than likely, Dexter would be seeing the inside of this apartment a bit more often too. “It’s nice though, cleaner than my place that’s for sure.” Dexter commented with a laugh to follow afterwards. Which wasn’t a lie exactly, he lived in the villas, and well, it was hard to keep up a place that big. He’d eventually invest in like a made service or something along the likes of it. But for now, his place would just be an organized mess. “Well, if you’ve got some vodka, some peppers and mint, then I can make you your favorite. And if not, I think wine might suit dinner just fine.” Dexter commented as he made his way in the kitchen and looked around himself. “Please, it’s pasta, you can’t go simple with pasta. You know, to be a boy with strict parents and of a brewery you’d know this stuff.” Dexter teased playfully. 

Sebastian smiled at the words, and while he wasn’t a big neat freak, he didn’t mind a mess either. He was just accustomed to keeping everything tidy because that’s the way his father wanted things to be. “I like your place the way it is, but if I end up losing our cactus in that mess, then you’re in trouble, sir.” he teased.

As the other joined him into the kitchen, Sebastian smiled while placing a couple of plates onto the counter as well as wine glasses. “Then wine it is for now, and then we can get crazy with the cocktails. I do have mints, and vodka, and peppers because I may had tried to make the same cocktail when I got home from your place the other day.” he admitted. 

“Would you mind grabbing the wine? It’s in the top cabinet, and i’ll go lay out my wonderful small living room as a romantic getaway.” he added while holding the plates and silverware in one hand and the wine glasses in the other. “What’s one of the worst foods you’ve ever eaten?” he asked aloud while walking back into the living room. “I think mine would have to be Brussels sprouts.” he added as he lay everything down gently onto the coffee table.

“Sunflowers are a good choice. I was totally expecting you to say like, daisies or something atrocious like, tiger lilies.” Dexter teased. Who the hell just talked about plants? There hadn’t been one date he’d been on where this came up in conversation, but really, this just proved that he was looking in the wrong places for the right one. Who knew it’d take a trip to a fucking gay resort for him to find someone that he felt like he had a real connection with for the first time ever. “I’ll say my second favorite is probably a dandelion, like they’re weeds you know. But I like pretending that I can still blow on ‘em and my wish will come true.” he said and shrugged a shoulder, a dumb laugh passing his lips afterwards. “Kinda ridiculous isn’t it?” he asked in regards to the dandelion thing. “Oh an entire hour? Please, that gives me time to do what I gotta do without the lil prick in my way.” he teased.

“I can definitely make you another.” Dexter said, laughing again after. “I’m glad you’re a fan, not a lot of people are into it. There’s this one drink that I learned to make, but it’s only if you’re having like tacos, and other Mexican food. It tastes like a mango with chili powder on it, and man. It is delicious.” he said and clicked his tongue just thinking about it. “Well, if we’re doing Chinese and pasta, I got a drink that’ll go with the Chinese just fine. It’s got ginger beer in it, pretty tasty.” he said and grinned. 

“You steal my food we might have to throw hands, Cart man.” he teased and gave the man’s hand another little squeeze. “You wanna get outta here before all the weird couples start hooking up? I’m all for dinner and a show, but I kinda just wanna have dinner with you.”

“Daisies aren’t all that bad, but no, sunflowers and cacti are something that are my top two.” he added and while he spoke on about a dandelion, Sebastian couldn’t help but relive a moment in his life. “Wow, talk about nostalgia, I did that a lot. I’d make wishes, and blow on one and held onto the hope that my wish will come true.” it was surprising at how alike they were, so no it wasn’t ridiculous at all. “Dandelions and Cacti await us, but for now we have delicious food and a possible fight if I reach for your food planned ahead of us.” Sebastian was only teasing, but he reluctantly let go of his hand just to get out of his seat. 

“Chinese and Alfredo, you ready?” he asked, and was glad that Dexter was in the mood to get things going as well. As their night consisted of ordering and buying their food, Sebastian invited him back to his own apartments at The Salt Lakes. 

“It’s not much, but it’s home.” he added as he held his food in one hand while unlocking his apartment door with his free hand. Once inside, Sebastian stepped inside, moving aside so the other could welcome himself in. His apartment was clean and tidy, but it wasn’t hard to keep up with staying organized since it was always just him. “I’ll grab the plates, would you like some wine or would you like to get started on the cocktails?” he asked while setting the food down onto the coffee table. 

“--But I also have soda and water, if you prefer something simple.” he added before disappearing into the kitchen. “Make yourself at home!” he yelled from the kitchen.

“Are you sure? Because honestly, that sounds sketchy to me when you lay it out like that. I didn’t intend it to be. It’s just caves and cooking and massages are my thing,” Connor explained as he pulled out his phone, too. “Being the big brother is my thing as well, but I’ll try not to lay that on too thick. My phone number is…” Connor then rattled off his number. “And it’s Connor, again. Two N’s.” He paused. “We have a lot of morning spots open at the caves if that interests you.”

A laugh elicited his lips when the other spoke, and quite honestly that may have been creepy. “I assure you, I did not mean it to sound terrible. I am genuinely interested in exploring the caves all while being able to cook and fend for myself.” he added before adding the man’s contact information into his cell phone. “Well Connor, with two ‘n’s I am sending you a text right about now.” he added while sending him a quick text with his own name. “Expect me around first thing in the morning.” he added before sliding his phone back into his pocket. “--And what’s a good time for cooking lessons?” he asked.

“There are some great lawyers on this island though. Could you think of the lawyers Cade or Casey possibly have, they’re probably good as fuck! I wouldn’t, on the other hand, be able to afford them, but if I were ever in a pinch, I’d know who to ask,” he mused.

“Oh, there’s his guy named Will, he enjoys it too. Plus, it’s an added bonus, it’s sweet and creamy, the coffee that is in it– it’s actually caffeinated,” Nevada mused. “I could totally eat a bowl of this instead of having a cup of coffee most mornings, especially when it’s so fucking hot out.”

“Cade or Casey “ Sebastian repeated, as if he’d really need to know the lawyer’s name. A laugh escaped his lips just then, “Well, I promise I won’t need lawyers if you don’t come down at me with a subpoena.” he added in a teasing manner. 

“So i’m going to make a mental note to meet Will one day, just to tell him that I appreciate he enjoys coffee ice cream as much as I do.” as silly as it may seem, no one really liked coffee ice cream. “Me too, which just makes me wonder how coffee drinkers enjoy coffee but can’t enjoy a nice bowl of coffee ice cream. What’s wrong in that?” he asked.

[sebastianmorgan]

Dexter could talk to him about this.dcxtcrvrchibvld‌:

“It’s always the ugliest things that seem to have the cutest features. I mean, no one looks at a fucking cactus and goes ‘oh my god, how fuckin’ adorable’, but I dunno. The different things are the better ones in my opinion.” Dexter rambled on and shrugged a shoulder. He was the sort of guy that tended to like the different things in life simply because his parents always wanted him to be into the same thing everyone was. And Dexter was over falling into everyone else’s normality. And he was glad that Sebastian was the same. “I’ll be demanding halfsies on the water, too. I’ll be writing you a bill for that.” Dexter went on to tease. But seeing him on the weekends definitely didn’t sound like an awful thing. And maybe he was going to find a way to get him over there.

“Oh man, no. Pasta sounds fucking delicious too and I don’t wanna steal your thunder.” Dexter assured the man, even giving his hand a light squeeze. “Both of them sound amazing, so now I really don’t know what the hell I want. Because a plate of Alfredo sounds fucking bomb right now too.”

Shaking his head with a playful tisk he said, “Look what ya done to me, Sebastian! I’ve never been this indecisive about food.”

He smiled at the words that elicited from him, and he didn’t even have to vocalize his agreement with his words. “--So don’t laugh at me or anything, but alongside cacti, I also appreciate sunflowers.” it was silly, and maybe even girly, however sunflowers were just as beautiful. “I would say those two are my favorites.” he added. It was the first time Seb had shared anything like that. No one really talked about plants in a general conversation anyway, but a part of him still wanted to just share. “--Fine we can do halfsies on the water, but I get to take the cactus to the park. You’re absolutely welcomed, but we have to be out for an hour at least.” his words matched the same playful tone as the other, but again, this conversation -- as silly as it may even be, had excited him.

His smile widened when he agreed to pasta as well, but it mainly had to do with the fact that they were still holding hands. “Alright, pasta it is, and i’ve got soda and wine, so whichever you prefer. Although, I’m kinda missing your spicy-mint cocktail.” it had been interesting, but he couldn’t deny that he liked it. “Not sure how that’ll go with the pasta, but I don’t care.” 

“Alright, we can have the best of both worlds. Chinese and Alfredo, and just pick off of each other’s plates.” he suggested. “--but if you hate that, just know i’ll be picking at your alfredo anytime you’re not looking.” he added teasingly.
