despite already being on his way to the carnival grounds, caleb still had a hard time believing it. he had a date! a date with aspen wu! the geumseong quidditch player of his heart! nate really was his best friend for making this happen. it’s all too exciting, and caleb almost has to stop himself from sprinting to the meeting spot.
that very meeting spot is the first thing he, and probably everyone else, notices as he gets close. the ferris wheel is, unsurprisingly, the largest and most eye-catching structure around. it makes sense a lot of people have gathered around it, no doubt with the same idea as caleb and aspen. it’s an easy meeting spot. still, aspen is easy enough for caleb to notice.
somehow, he thinks, aspen looks even better than the times he has seen him before. caleb doesn’t think he has ever seen aspen without his quidditch uniform on, and he has to admit there’s something exciting about seeing him without it, in regular clothes.
but caleb also thinks that he may also just be a bit of a romantic. not that it really matters, though. he’s honestly just excited. he smiles to himself and takes a deep breath. here we go.
“hey!” caleb waves to catch aspen’s attention as he approaches, stopping just in front of him. up close, he notices aspen is slightly taller than him and his brain helpfully adds that it’s kind of hot. he doesn’t say it out loud, in a rare moment of self-discipline. he thinks maybe an introduction would be more appropriate. “i’m caleb, the one nate mentioned? i really hope he didn’t tell you anything embarrassing.”
