AoM Boss again 👉👈

[queenbol-of-baldurs-gate]

Code-name: "THE BOSS"

"Now that ain't a bad colour on you, Gat."

Johnny whipped his head round, his shoulders bunching up before he could control his reaction. He narrowed his eyes at Pierce as he paused in the doorway of the bathroom, his brows arched in a genuine way, taking a look thoughtful look at Johnny's outfit. He grunted in response, shaking the water off his hands into the sink and straightening his shoulders.

"I look good in any colour." He remarked off-handedly.

Pierce just laughed, waltzing up to one of the urinals, popping open his trouser button.

"And here I thought I'd get a black eye if I told you that your pink shirts are the bomb."

Gat rolled his eyes, but his defensive-ness had all.but disappeared when he realised it was Pierce coming into the bathroom. He took another look at himself in the mirror, pursing his lips and fighting back the self-doubt.

"You, uh, rocking that 2000s gangsta look for a reason today?"

Gat glanced over at the casually urinating man trying very hard not to look like he was being a nosy bastard, and couldn't help the smirk tugging at his lips.

"Yeah, I'm going on a date."

This got the nosy bastard's attention.

"You serious? With who?" His incredulous expression just tickled his funny bone more.

Gat shrugged and finally got his ass to the paper towels, drying off his hands.

"You wouldn't know 'em." He said airily, turning back to leave the bathroom.

"Aw c'mon man, don't leave me hanging- gimme something!" He whined, twisting his head round to swing him some puppy dog eyes.

Too bad he was immune.

"Go write in your diary about it, Pierce- see ya later."

Johnny escaped Pierce's loud complaints, stepping back out into the hall and meandering towards the common room. Slowly. Hesitatingly. He stopped again in front of one of the many mirrors dotted around the base, for the many vain agents who stay here and looked himself over for what could possibly be the twentieth time. Short sleeved, royal purple shirt, smart dark grey trousers and a simple but clean gold chain around his neck.

He was lying about the date. He fiddled with his watch around his wrist, taking a calming breath. Well, he wanted to go on a date tonight. He just hadn't asked the date out yet. He grumbled under his breath as he leaned towards the mirror, checking if he had any stubble, the need to look perfect nagging at him. He was going to ask The Boss out for a date. Maybe a dinner, some drinks, an arcade perhaps. They seemed the competitive type- a bit of friendly competition might be nice. He swiped a hand over his hair once more and hoped to God his deodorant held out. Johnny doesn't think he's been this nervous asking out somebody since he asked his ex to marry him. He really hopes this time will go better than that. As he straightens, brushing his hands over the sides of his hair, giving himself the best confident grin he can, he glanced over to his left just as the Boss steps out of the common room.

Their eyes meet. He freezes in place. They slowly look him up and down, eyes wide. He feels his body flushing with embarrassment.

They laugh. It is a short burst of loud, unapologetic laughter, that even when garbled by their voice changer sends a gust of wind through his stomach, making his bones feel like air. He must look like something, cuz they quickly stop laughing, but cross the short distance between them in a few steps. He quickly tucks his hands into his pockets to look as nonchalant as possible, though the heat he's feeling in his cheeks doesn't make him feel good. The Boss peers down at him, eyes crinkled in what seemed to be amusement, happiness and... nostalgia?

"Now what are we doing looking all snazzy this evening? Hitting the club? Perhaps a disco?"

They were teasing him, a new experience in itself, but he seemed to be able to tell it was almost affectionate. They were almost buzzing with anticipation. He cleared his throat, shrugging with a shoulder.

"I'm not sure- what are you up to tonight?"

This took them off guard.

"Me?"

"Yeah- what kind of stuff would you be getting up to tonight?"

They tug at the lip of their hood, hesitancy showing briefly in their expression.

"Well...I guess I'd go out for a drink?"

"That's cool. Let's do that then." He said as confidently as he could- by the way their eyes widened and how their breath caught in their throat, he was feeling it more by the second.

"What? Me?" Their voice had gone higher. He smirked slowly, daring to take a step closer into their zone. They didn't back away.

"Yeah, you and me. Do you like arcades?"

They looked stunned again, nodding silently as they stared at him with those beautiful eyes. He cooly slipped a piece of paper from his pocket, with an address of his favourite bar in Seoul on it and gently slipped it into their hand, a knowing grin curving his lips. He peered up at them over his glasses, brow arched ever so slightly in challenge.

"How about nine? At that address? That sound good?" He hadn't realised when his voice had gotten so low and quiet.

They nodded again, looking almost mystified- lost in his eyes. He hoped. He smiled, gently, getting the feeling this might've happened a bit quickly for them, but he stepped back, giving them some space.

"Let me know if you can't make it- we can do it some other time."

"Uh...no. No...I'll be there." They answered, a little demurely.

He smiled for real then, joy bubbling up inside him. He waved quickly, saying a quick good-bye for he strode back down the hall quickly, his mind buzzing. He felt like a teenager going on his first date. Seeing his first crush. When he thought no one was looking, he made a quick fist-pump of victory and hummed a tune.

He wondered if he should let the Boss win the first few rounds at the arcade tonight.
