"Just a pint'll do me." Alexander sighed, slipping into a bar stool and placing his fedora onto the counter. The young man looked around his usual haunt with a small smile. It was just a simple muggle bar but they always played decent tunes. Of a night it would usually pick up and very ocassionally there'd be a jam night. Alex would always go to just watch. The idea of getting up and playing something with some strangers appealed to him greatly but... he was usually too drunk to put on a good show and just said "next time."
Handing the barman some muggle money, the young man wondered if he should buy his friend a drink even though he wasn't here yet. Alex shrugged to himself. It'd be best if he didn't. Who knew when Reid would arrive to be truthful. Time and the guy didn't really get along.
Alexander took a deep sip of the cool ale and set it gently on a cardboard coaster, sighing in appreciation. It'd been a long day at St. Mungo's. Nothing out of the ordinary had really happened. Just basic poisons and the like. But it had been so mundane that the day had just dragged on and on. It was great to have some free time to catch up with his friend this evening.

Reid was happy. Why was he happy you might ask. Well it's because he was on his way to meet one of his best friends, Alex to be exact. He didn't get to spend too much alone time with Alex, a fact which made him a little sad. See he had a huge crush on his good friend, and though he didn't think anything would come from it, he still got happy seeing him.
He looked at his watch and realized that he had actually left early from work, which didn't happen a lot. He didn't do anything huge in the Ministry, but he still seemed to be there more than he liked. "Maybe I will actually be on time tonight. That would really surprise Alex." He smiled. A surprise for his best friend would be a good start to the night.
He walked into the bar his friend frequented. They decided to meet here instead of somewhere in the Alley. He saw Alex at the bar and walked up behind him. He gave Alex a hug from behind. "Surprise! I'm actually on time tonight."

Alexander's eyes widened on feeling someone suddenly wrap their arms around him. Just as well he wasn't holding his pint glass, if not he'd be asking for a cloth to wipe up a spill. The young man whipped around, his cheeks pink from the surprise and his face lit up. It was his friend! And he wasn't tardy for once. This was a pleasant surprise indeed.
"Reid!" He smiled, slipping from his stool to return the hug. "I wasn't expecting you for a while yet... but, joder, you're on time!" Alex turned around and beckoned for the bar man's attention with a small gesture of his hand. Maybe he should of ordered his friend before. But he really hadn't expected him to not arrive late on him. Alex found himself smiling silly with his flush still staining his cheeks.
"What'll you have, Reid?" The young man asked, purring his 'r's with his spanish accent. "We haven't had a drink in ages. What's been of you?"

Reid knew he had made Alex happy by being one time. He really loved making Alex happy. "I was able to leave work on time today and figured I'd surprise you by being on time." He frowned a little. "It's kinda sad that being on time is a surprise."
He put the thought out of his mind. There were no sad thoughts allowed while he was with Alex. He was hanging out with one of his best friends. That was reason enough to be happy.
"Hmm, I'll just have a pint of whatever he's having." he told to the barman. He turned back to Alex. "You know, life. I've just been working and sleeping. Well and going to the few band meetings we actually get to have." He paid the barman as he placed the drink in front of him. "What about you? How have you been?" As he took a drink he looked into his friend's beautiful face.

"Late, on time, early..." Alexander said with a wave of his hand. "As long as you get where you have to be, it doesn't matter." Hopefully that would put Reid's mind at rest. He was here now, that was all that really mattered. To be truthful, Alex wouldn't of even minded much should he of arrived late. It was Reid. Alex couldn't get angry or even slightly peeved off with him.
"Pretty much the same." Alex said with a shrug, mimicking Reid without even thinking and going for his drink too to take a drink. The young man held his gaze for a moment but quickly cast it elsewhere, his cheeks pinkening awkwardly. As they always did.
"Sometimes come here. Sometimes I go out after. Meet up with people and, uh, that." Alex didn't go into detail about his weekend antics. Around Reid he felt rather odd sharing that part of his life with him. He guessed he just didn't want him to think ill of him.
"Chase and Brent are back together." Alex smiled, sipping some more and drying his upper lip with his sleeve. "Hope things go well for them. You met anyone lately? Or... too much work?"

Reid wasn't sure how to answer that question. He hadn't met anyone because he wasn't really looking. He wasn't looking because the one he wanted, he finally admitted to himself that it was more than a crush, was sitting next to him. He didn't want to scare Alex or mess up his friendship but with Brent and Chase getting together...he just wanted someone, he wanted Alex.
"Um, I haven't met someone but there is someone that I have my eyes on." There, he said what he needed to without being too forward about it all. "What about you? Has anyone caught your eye lately?"

"You have your eyes on someone?" Alexander asked, quirking an eyebrow in question. "You can teeell me who the lucky person is." The young man teased, giving Reid a small nudge on his arm with his free hand. With a light chuckle he went for his drink again, tapping the bar counter along for the song that played for a moment. He knew it was by The Beatles although it wasn't playing loud enough to say straight away which one it was.
"I haven't really... stopped to think." The spaniard chuckled, partly out of nerves. "I'm kinda just floating about." He couldn't bring himself to say that his current relationships had only comprised of one night stands. Alex was seriously thinking about maybe calming down and actually look for something that branched past just sex.
"I'd like to, maybe, find something serious." Alexander admitted, draining his glass until it was half-empty. He looked over towards Reid, finding himself flushing rose on talking about such a personal subject. He felt oddly comfortable around him though. Talking about things like this with Chase or even Brent would be awkward. "Y'know, someone that'll be my friend, too, not just a partner."

Reid thought about it. He could either come right out and say he liked Alex or he could just hint at it and see if his friend picked up on it. Hmm...he decided the latter was a good idea.
"Well you see, the guy I like I've known for a very long time. I met him at Hogwarts and we've been friends ever since. He's funny, charming and quite the dancer, especially when he's drunk. I don't get to spend too much time with him but I love the time I do get to spend with him. The problem is he doesn't know of my feelings for him. All I want to do is hold him, love him...but I don't want to screw up our friendship."
He thought for a second then continued. "What would you do in my position? Would you chance it all by telling him or would you just stand back and hope he came to you?"

Alexander felt a smile tug at his lips on hearing Reid talk about the guy he was crushing on. It was really sweet. Alex wondered who it could be. As he drank his pint, a blush beat his cheeks again, the cogs in his head beginning to turn. Who else was close with besides him, Chase and Brent? Who else danced and even more enthusiastically so after a few drinks? Surely... it was just a big coincidence. But it didn't stop Alex from smiling to himself while he drank. And his cheeks didn't fade back to their nude tone either.
"I-I think... I don't know." Alexander mumbled, scolding himself inwardly for getting so flustered. He was talking about someone else. "I..I don't know. If he's your friend... you never know. He might be waiting for you to say something. He might be... shy when it comes to actual relationships." Actual relationships.Why did he have to say that? Alex could only ask his brain why he hated him enough to cause these awkward slips of the tongue while he brooded over what was left of his pint.
"But, yeah, that... if you like him, you should just say. Like, even if things don't work out, you still'll be friends."

Reid thought about what Alex had said. He should just tell him. Right just tell the man across from him that he was desperately in love with him and that he wanted nothing more than to be with him. "Okay so maybe not like that but I don't know. Right just tell him that I was talking about him..."
He drained what was left in his mug, which was about half of it mind you, and looked Alex in the eyes. "Right, so I should just tell the guy that I like him. That I always think about him...." Reid reached over and grabbed Alex's hand. "That I was looking forward to spending time with him all day."

Alexander was downing the last dregs of his pint when Reid touched his hand. Or grabbed to be more exact. The young man coughed slightly, having the beer go down the wrong way. He shifted around in his seat to face Reid, glowing a deep scarlet in colour. Sure, he had maybe suspected it after what he had just said. But this... it was still a surprise.
"R-Reid?" Alexander stammered, not really knowing what else to do. He wasn't exactly used to people going ahead and being like this with him. Alex was used to a whole different kind of attention. But the young man didn't move his hand, it felt all tingly under Reid's touch. His heart was drumming away in his chest at an alarming rate and he was struggling to keep his breathing from being audibly shaky.
Alex scooted over so he was perched on the very edge on his stool. He opened his mouth to say something, but the words were never voiced as they caught in his throat. What did he say? Alexander gnawed his lip for a moment and stroked the hand that held his with his thumb.
"He's...a lucky guy, to be liked by someone like you." Alexander muttered, looking up and holding Reid's gaze. "I-I think... he likes you, too."

Reid smiled the biggest smile he probably has ever smiled. He couldn't believe that Alex said he liked him too. He was so happy he didn't really know what to say. "R-really? You like me too?" He smiled and moved closer to Alex. His knees were touching Alex's. He leaned forward and gave him a quick kiss. It was the quickest of kisses but it was the best kiss he's had.
He pulled back and looked at Alex. "So where does this leave us?"

Reid's smile was as contagious as it was handsome - it made Alex's face light up too. A nervous flutter was felt in the pit of his stomach on having their knees touch. And his cheeks burned brighter than ever on seeing Reid lean in towards him. This was all so... sudden. Alex, obviously, wasn't one to turn down a kiss and met lips with those of Reid's.
As quick as it happened, it was over, leaving Alex with just a small taster of Reid on his mouth. It would be a lie to say that he didn't fancy more.
"W-where?" It left Alex needing another pint, that was for sure. "I-I don't know... I don't mean I-I don't know, I-I'm just not sure where... like, w-where would you like us t-to be?" The spaniard was stuttering, which was bad news for his accent, it just made it stronger than ever. He glanced down at his hands - they were gripping the edge of his stool so tightly his knuckles were going pale. Alex wasn't used to being this nervous. He was scared to mess it up in a way. Reid actually meant something.
"W-we could... I don't know... try something?" Alex said in a timid whisper. "Like... you and me?"

Reid chuckled a bit. He knew that Alex wanted more, he could see it in his eyes. That was good cause Reid wanted it too.
"You know, you're even cuter when you stutter. I love your accent and it comes out more when you get all nervous. It's part of who you are, I like it and...I like you."
He reached out and held both of Alex's hands. He needed him to relax some and Reid knew this would help relax his friend. "I don't want to push you or anything but I'd like to see where this went. What I mean is, I would like to take you out on a date."

Reid had called him cute! Alex felt as though he was going to die right there and then. His ticker wasn't going to be able to last much longer, it was beating at a galloping pace. And then he was holding his hands again and asking him on a date! Dios mio... Alex sighed to himself, maintaining his crimson tone on his face since it was impossible that it could go any deeper.
"Wow, Reid..." Alexander said, slightly breathless. "A-A date with you? ...That'd be...that'd be genial!" The young man grinned, looking up from their hands and up at Reid, his eyes sparkling with something he hadn't truely felt in too long to tell. Him... and Reid... going out on a date to see where things would go between them. It almost sounded too good. If this was some cruel joke.. Alex didn't know what he would do. But it wouldn't be pleasant.
"I really can't believe this..." He whispered, sucking in his bottom lip as he forced down a smile. But his eyes said it all. "I-I really want to see where we could go. Me gustas... mucho."
