Never Feel Too Good in Crowds
A/N: In which Tuvre sneaks out of a social function and brings back Tazrin.
"I'm gonna head to the bathroom," Tuvre said to Salin, the other white dragonborn nodding in reply, turning away to speak with Mayor.
If Tuvre timed this right, then he should be back in thirty or so minutes. Maybe twenty. He jumped the low-hanging balcony, catching himself before he face-planted into the ground.
Okay, he was a bit rusty with jumping balconies but he was unscathed. It counted for something.
Now, all he had to do was sneak away.
"Tuvre!" Ah fuck. He turned to see Basashi leaning over the balcony. "Where are you going?"
"Shh! I'll be back before the banquet actually starts," he replied, folding his arms over his chest. Provided that Tazrin was awake.
Truth be told, Tuvre hadn't known a banquet was tonight until his mother told him. Because someone--Toraka--didn't tell him sooner. Either way, he was bringing back his boyfriend as a plus one.
He stalked off, passing by the multitude of black cars and out of the neighborhood. At least the bus would get him to the city and back.
He rode the bus into the city, mentally mapping his way to Tazrin's window. He picked up a few pebbles, tossing them at the window. One sailed through the air, crashing through the window. Great.
"What the shit?" Tazrin shouted, looking around for where the pebble that broke his window came from. He opened the window to get a better look outside, finally noticing Tuvre. "Tuv, did you throw a fucking rock in my window?"
Tuvre sheepishly grinned, replying, "I was trying to be romantic," he said. "...I can pay for it." he continued, trying and failing to launch himself through the window the first time, succeeding on the second try.
"What are you doing here? And dressed fancy?" Tazrin asked, dressed down in a large Linkin Park shirt and boxers.
"Uh, I wanted to know if you wanted to go to a banquet with me. Like...right now."
Tazrin huffed, going over to his closet and taking out a slightly worn tuxedo. "I'll be back, wait here," he said, walking into the bathroom and closing the door.
Tuvre sat down on his boyfriend's bed, looking at the now-familiar set of posters and calendar on the walls. He dug his phone out as it chimed with a message from Toraka. Raka: Where r u? Me: I'll be back, give me a few. He put his phone away, letting out a wolf whistle as Tazrin stepped out of the bathroom now dressed. "This better be worth it," Tazrin said, sighing as Tuvre climbed out the window. He tried to follow, getting stuck halfway and getting hit in the face by Tuv's elbow. "Ow, just, just pull me out." The door opened then, Donovan Lokris only sighing as his son and his son's boyfriend were in the process of unsuccessfully sneaking out.
"Tazrin, when you get back, you're grounded." "That's fair," Tazrin mumbled, yelping as his father pushed him from behind and Tuvre pulled. Tazrin lurched forward, face to face with Tuvre and on the ground. "This really better be worth it," he said. Tuvre only grinned, pulling him up as they headed for the bus stop. Tuvre would make sure it was worth it.
