I know. [As much as he misses people from back home, he doesn't actually want them here. Although he would be relieved in a way, if they were... selfishly.]
I'm sure you two would get along. I'd say-- like a house on fire, but I'm sure you're both sticklers for fire safety so that'd never happen.
[ Although Fraser doesn't laugh, he ducks his head and smiles in a way that is almost as good. ]
You may be right about that. Although I did have an apartment burn down, once. But that was the fault of a performance arsonist, and I was out of town at the time, so really, I hardly think I can be held responsible.
My apartment blew up once. Not a performance arsonist. Well, okay that's a lie. It was definitely a performance but... uh-- [Now it's Wade's turn to be awkward, clearing his throat.] it was me?
[ Yeah, Fraser gets all the implications there. Perhaps unsurprisingly, he doesn't look shocked or judgmental. Serious, but then he almost always looks serious. ]
[ At this point, their drinks arrive, and the look Fraser gives his margarita can only be described as dubious and somewhat intimidated. He thanks the server before blinking at it some more. ]
[Wade meanwhile looks positively giddy as his margarita is placed in front of him, rocking on his seat as he slides it closer.] Hell, yeah. Don't forget to get some of the salt off the rim when you sip!
[He lifts the large glass up and takes a sip of the frozen concoction. Pulling back as he swallows, shaking his head and blinking wildly.] Ack! Brain Freeze! Worth it!
Thank you. Don't want to be ruining this suit! [He beams, wiping off the mess and going back to eating and sipping his margarita.
It's relatively quiet after that, Wade focused on eating and devouring everything on his plate. It's all so good. He even feels a little buzz from the margarita since they'd given him the kind that could actually circumvent his healing.
It's nice. And he's smiling to himself as he eats.]

Date: 2022-03-13 01:21 am (UTC)Well, it wasn't just a performance. I was inside the building at the time... I... it was just after my fiancée... after she... [Well, he remembers Wade's D/s finder surely.]

Then I found a family. People to look after. And to look after me.

[ He touches the tip of his tongue to the salt rim, shrugs, and takes a sip. ]
Say, that's really quite refreshing.
