Where: Summer Solstice Festival When: 21st June Who: Dirk && @bertrey
They had been to plenty of these sorts of things together before but never together. Halloween had been the closest, except that Dirk hadn't known Bertram's feelings at the time and ever since confessions and revelations and decisions to give it a go had occurred, they had been keeping things to themselves. Not in the sense of keeping it a secret, and that certainly wasn't to say they hadn't been on any dates but Dirk was a naturally private person so walking through such a busy place hand in hand with another man made him feel a little self-conscious. It very much felt like a public outing together, eyes of reporters around them and practically everybody either of them knew in attendance. It made Dirk glad that they had opted for a quiet weekend just the two of them for their birthdays and Valentine's weekend, when it had all been so new and fresh. He was certain he wouldn't have been ready for this any earlier. Now, however, he gave Bertram's hand a squeeze and looked at him with a smile that said he had no doubts or reservations any longer. He wanted to be here with Bertram, nobody else. "Where do you want to go next?" he asked, though quickly followed up with his own suggestion. "I'm not sure about the whole dancing with a tree thing, but we could go and see if they're playing any decent music there."
