A GAP in Baltimore, Friday Evening

[myownface]

It was a date, if you could possibly call an outing to the mainland to buy yellow socks and archery gloves a date. At least Alec and Sparkle were following up their shopping trip with dinner, or at least that was the plan. Sparkle had scoped out the cheap restaurant situation before they'd left, and he'd managed to narrow what he could afford down to, like, a McDonald's on the way back to the causeway.

He'd worry about that once they were done picking up his socks.

And they'd pick up socks just as soon as Sparkle was done browsing.

"Oh, man. Look at these ones. They have stars on them."

Sorry, Alec.

[NFB for distance, and for that guy!]

"Eh, most of them aren't big on dancing, or they've already got people to dance with," Sparkle replied with a shrug of his shoulders. "Olive and Victor are a thing. I don't think Atton would dance if you were shooting arrows at his feet, and Cade'll probably be busy spiking the drinks."

And who even knew about Sholeh, these days? Was she having a thing with his roommate?

Did he even want to know?

"And there's no way Jace will ask me," Alec said with certainty, "and I don't even know if Kate is much of a dancer. I doubt it. So..." He grinned, reaching for another slice of pizza. "I guess it's a date."

"I guess it's a date," Sparkle agreed, grinning and pausing for a moment in order to finish off the slice of pizza that he was holding. "Looking forward to it."
