who: claude & @kenuine where: the rainbow room
Claude hadn’t dated many people in his life, but the most significant relationship he’d ever had happened to be with one Ken Carson. He had his strategies of getting around seeing Ken, figuring out where he usually was at the Rainbow Room and avoiding the hell out of it. At some point, he was bound to be unlucky, and tonight just happened to be it. Claude had decided to go out for the night, knowing that Ken usually wasn’t there on a Thursday night, but there he was, standing between Claude and the restroom. All he wanted to do was turn around and bolt, but they had already locked eyes, and it was too late. He had to be the bigger person, to pretend like this didn’t affect him when Claude knew that he would be going back to the bar and taking a shot after this. Not that their breakup had been the worst he’d experienced, but it was definitely strange, seeing him for the first time. “Kenneth,” he said curtly as he approached the older man. “I believe you’re in the way of the path to the restroom.”
