Reid found it cute when Alex chewed his bottom lip. It was so adorable and all Reid could do is watch him. "Yes Alex, a date with me."
He brought one of Alex's hands up to his mouth and kissed it. Alex wanted to see where this went. That made Reid happy. He thought the two of them could make a cute couple. "I want to see where this goes too. I'm glad that you want the same thing."
He leaned in and kissed Alex again. This time it was a long, passionate one. "I'm glad I came tonight."

Alexander felt a shiver tickle his spine on feeling Reid's lips on his again. They were soft and had the faintest taste of ale on them. But it didn't make Alex enjoy them any less. The young man couldn't help but wonder why it had taken so long for this to happen. They had been friends for so long, yet the lines that separated friendship from other feelings had been blurred many a time for spaniard. Why it had taken so long to come clear about them he didn't know.
"We shouldn't... tell Chase and Brent about this yet." Alex muttered, glancing down at Reid's lips again. "I-I'd like to see where things go first..." He didn't want to say "in case this doesn't work out", which was also a possibility that the young man couldn't help but fear. What would happen to the band if it happened? If it didn't work.
When Alex met Reid's mouth again for a kiss filled with warmth, the doubts dissolved away. He'd make this work. This was what he wanted. Alex couldn't help but smile on feeling Reid's whiskers brush his lips. It was ticklish.
"Me too. It certainly beats drinking alone." Alexander purred, bringing a nervous hand up to Reid's head and gently running his fingers through his hair, watching as he did with a smile. "Would... you like another drink? Or what would you like to do now?"

Reid agreed with Alex. They probably shouldn't tell the others just yet. He wanted to make sure that things were going smoothly before they brought it up to Brent and Chase. It's kind of funny though, that the band of best friends would now be made up of two couples. Maybe a double date was in order...whenever they tell those two that is. "I agree, we shouldn't tell them right now. Maybe after we've been dating for a while."
He wasn't exactly sure what they should do now. They could either stay here and drink some more, which likely would lead to Alex dancing and/or taking his clothes off on top of tables. Or they could go somewhere else. He wasn't sure that Alex would be comfortable with that though. "Well the way I see it we have two options. We either can stay here and have a couple more drinks or we can go somewhere else where we can talk more privately. Either way, I just want to spend some time with you." He smiled, rubbing circles on Alex's hand with his thumb.

Alexander could feel himself flushing again. He couldn't express how nice tit felt to have Reid stroking his hand with his thumb. It was simple... yet it was just so nice. These small shows of affection was something he had been craving for a while now. The silly things that made you smile.
The offer of going someplace else, someplace more private to talk was rather tempting. Alex almost went with that. But he caught himself before he did. Knowing his habits, it would probably lead somewhere that he felt that he wasn't ready yet. A date first, then whatever came after that. Alex didn't want to risk this ending in a one night stand, should it come to that. He had made that mistake before - liking someone, going on a sort of date, then going somewhere 'private' to talk, ending between sheets a few hours later. The sheer awkwardness stopped him from ever calling back.
"How about we stay here for a bit?" Alexander smiled. "We could grab a booth and talk some... besides, I think there's going to be a jam session on tonight." He wanted to see that. It awed him how total strangers improvised on the stage but sounded as if they had practiced beforehand. It was amazing.
"And if it gets too noisy... we could go somewhere else. Maybe to grab a bite to eat?" Alex almost offered that they went back to his place and he'd rustle them something up. But to be honest, Alex didn't trust himself. He'd mess things up.

Reid was okay with staying here for a while. He really just wanted to spend some time with Alex, it didn't matter where they were. If there was a jam session tonight that could be fun to watch. He could see why Alex would want to stay. The band had been together for years so seeing a bunch of strangers just get up on stage and play would be a different experience to watch. Who knows, maybe he could talk Alex into getting up on stage.
"Okay, in that case I'll get us both another beer. Why don't you go find us a booth while I get the drinks?"

"Sure." Alexander smiled, slipping down from his perch on the cushioned stool. He let his hands brush Reid's legs before letting them fall to his sides. The temptation to give him another quick kiss was great. But he resisted. There would probably be plenty of time for that later.
As he walked to a recently unoccupied booth, Alex glanced back towards Reid before snapping his head back around. His cheeks were glowing again and he had this silly smile. Alex sighed and brought a hand to his temple - what was wrong with him all of a sudden? He had never...ever been like this before.
The young man nodded at the lady that was wiping the table after its previous occupants and slid into the cozy seating. He scooted over in case Reid wanted to sit beside him. Alex couldn't help but hope so.
Leaning his elbow on the table, he propped his head up by his chin, waiting for Reid to return with his beer. Smiling all the time.

Reid watched Alex walk away from him. He saw that he wanted to kiss him but didn't. It didn't matter, there would be many more kisses if Reid had anything to say about it.
He barman set two beers in front of him. He paid the man, grabbed the beers and headed over to the booth where Alex sat. As he walked he contemplated which side of the booth to sit on. If he wanted to be a complete gentleman he would sit opposite him. But if he wanted to be close to Alex, he'd sit next to him.
He quickly made up his mind and sat next to Alex. "Here ya go." He placed the mug in his right hand in front of Alex. He ran his fingers up Alex's arm before resting it on the table next to his.

"Gracias." Alexander chuckled, trying to keep it low and not bubble into a teenage giggle. It would probably be awkward. He rubbed his arm where Reid had skimmed him with his fingers - he had broken out in goosebumps. Alex wished he had worn a long-sleeved shirt so it wouldn't be visible. Hopefully the dim lighing would hide it.
Alex inched a hand over the table so it creeped near Reid's before he finally slid it under, holding one of Reid's with a coy smile. Was it too much? Was it okay?
"They'll be starting to play in a bit..." Alexander smiled, maybe he would get up and play something if the nerves let him. Playing something totally made up on the spot didn't faze the young man at all, it was knowing Reid was there that would get his flustered. With a small, awkward shrug, he picked up his glass and took a drink. Beer would help calm his nerves. And he couldn't get too carried away with it either. No random dancing tonight, hopefully.
"How's things been at the Ministry lately? You seem to be always busy..."

Reid felt a smile creep onto his face when Alex grabbed his hand. He didn't want to be too forward with him if he wasn't comfortable with it. It seemed he didn't need to worry though.
"The Ministry has been okay lately. You would think that I wouldn't be as busy working in the Department of Magical Games and Sports but it doesn't seem so lately. There's been a lot of tedious work with the Quidditch league. It's all very time consuming and boring as hell. You know, I always wonder what my life would have been like if I had played professionally after school instead of working in the Ministry. Maybe I would have had more time to spend with you guys." He smiled over at Alex and rubbed his thumb over Alex's hand once more. He loved doing it and he could tell Alex liked it too.

Alexander tilted his head to the side a fraction, listening to Reid talk. He could talk about the most boring thing on the planet and Alex wouldn't mind. It was Reid. Alex nodded, he knew what he felt like, what with not having enough time in the day for everything. Alex at times also thought about whether the line of work he had chosen had been the appropiate one. But then he saw the people that needed his help, and he knew he had picked right.
"I doubt you would of had more free time..." Alex said softly, looking down at their hands and smiling. "There'd be practices, games...travelling. You'd probably spend more time out than actually here." And Alex wouldn't of wanted that.
"I was never too good at Quidditch..." The young man chuckled, shifting about in his seat slightly to inch just a teeny bit closer. Just enough so his knee knocked and brushed against Reid's. "I always liked watching you play though."

Reid thought about it and Alex was probably right. If he had played Quidditch professionally he probably would have been traveling a lot. Either way he wouldn't have been able to spend time with his friends. Looks like he chose the right career after all. "You know, you're probably right. At least working in London means I get to spend time with my favorite best friend."
He was really tempted to put his arm around Alex. It would bring them even closer to one another, if that was even possible. He decided to scoot even closer to Alex, bringing their thighs flush against one another. "You may not have been the best at Quidditch but you are great in other things. Like guitar for instance. You are the best guitar player I know." He smiled at Alex trying to show that he meant every word he said.

Alexander glanced downwards on feeling their legs touch, where they had came into contact felt all tingly and warm. He loved being close to Reid. It gave him butterflies and made him feel dizzy.
"You just say that." Alex giggled, patting his arm with a demure smile. The compliment made his cheeks burn. He hated blushing, it was one of those uncontrollable reactions that he loathed. It made him feel so awkward. "And I know of an awesome bass player, too." Alexander murmured, bowing his head down to rest it on Reid's shoulder for all but a moment. He looked up at him with dark, amber eyes and brought his hand down to rest it on Reid's lap.
Maybe he should of taken up the offer of going somewhere quieter and more private.
"Will you play something for me tonight?"

Reid gave into his desire and wrapped his arm around Alex's shoulders. He wanted to be as close as possible to this man. He liked his a lot! He could spend the entire night just like this and it would be perfect.
So Alex wanted him to play a song for him. He rather liked that idea. He had the perfect song to sing too. "Sure Alex, I'll sing a song for ya." He turned to the stage and saw that the were just about to start the jam session. "Looks like they are just about to start. I'll go play you one now." He gave a Alex a quick kiss before he got up.
He walked over to the stage and grabbed a guitar. Alex may not know this but he also knew how to play guitar though he didn't play one much. He walked up to the mic. "Hey everyone. Looks like I'm the first one tonight. This song is for a good friend of mine. I hope he enjoys it." He started playing the beginning of "We'll be a Dream" by We the Kings, all the while smiling at Alex.

Alexander snugged into Reid's side for a moment, looking down at his shirt with a smile. He risked a sidewards glimpse at his friend and rested his head again momentarily on his shoulder. When Reid said that he was going to play something for him, his heart almost burst from his chest - this was so sweet, Reid was just so unbelievably sweet. He was only partly serious when he had suggested it but having his friend actually go up and play something for him... it touched the Spaniard greatly.
He raised his eyebrows on seeing Reid reach for a guitar. He'd only ever seen him play bass. Alex didn't know that he played guitar, too! This only made him want to hear him even more. When the young man began to play, a smile graced Alexander's lips. He'd heard this song before, he'd heard it on the radio or something. And Reid was dedicating it to him. Alex felt like he was about to die or something along those lines, his ticker was pounding away at an accelerated rate that even surprised him.
Watching with eyes glistening from expectation, listening as Reid sang the first notes, Alex bit his bottom lip. This was just so sweet. Alex knew that he was going to make whatever they were going to have work.

Reid closed his eyes while he played the song he loved so much. He thought that Alex would like it. It was the first song that came to mind when Alex asked him to play. He liked playing for Alex, and who knows, maybe he'll play another song before the end of the night.
As he finished the song he focused his attention on the booth he just left, on Alex. He smiled at his friend as he finished the song. He took the guitar off as the audience applauded.
He stepped off stage and walked back to Alex. He slid back into the booth next to Alex. He leaned over and gave Alex a quick kiss on the cheek. "How was that?"
