Dr Gavyn Graves

He was speechless, completely and utterly speechless. He didn’t know how to respond to that, what could he say? In time like these usually Victor would just break the moment by saying something funny, a pickup line, a joke, something but his mind was completely blank. Had the man really recited poetry? What was this, maybe he had died and didn’t know it, maybe the other was just playing him on… Gavyn’s words did sound sincere. Finally looking up into the others man eyes, he squinted.” Are you messing with me?” The pianist asked.” I don’t want to sound insensitive but is there a catch to all of this? I’m not used to such flattery and I’m not sure how to take such strong words..” He admitted, taking a deep breath to calm himself down, it worked even if it was just for the time being. “ You know sirens can be very dangerous, you should be cautious because I might be very dangerous. As you can see by my really serious face and not at all embarrassed demeanor. “

Victor chuckled shaking his head.” snacks after a hook-up doesn’t count as a date, unless you know, somebody stated it before hand.” He was relieved that Gavyn hadn’t freaked out about the situation after he had admitted it. “ Thanks for not freaking out about it… If you have any questions you can ask them and I’ll answer the best way I can. I never really had a boyfriend either Bram is the first so I’m still getting around to how things work especially in a situation like this.” The pianist face started heating up when Gavyns lips touched his knuckles. “  You really can be a gentleman. I’m surprised nobody ever took you on a proper date.”

‘’ Yeah everything is up to code. Nothing worry about..hopefully everyone just follows those codes and have fire extinguishers in certain places in case for emergencies.’’ Benji added, but he knew everyone doesn’t follow certain instructions, that’s why people houses and establishments are burned to a crisp when It could have  been avoided. Waiting for other to walk in, he followed suit and turned around once he was inside.  ‘’ Actually I’m going to the same floor. The sixth.’’

“ You’ve never been on a date? Not even one?” Victor squinted his eyes.” Well yes but I like when both people pay and help each other out, for example… Going to the movies if one gets the tickets the other is i charge of paying for the snacks.”  He rubbed the back of his neck frowning a bit.” Huh… Gavyn I do need to tell you something since we are going on our dates and I feel like this is important.” Vic took a deep breath looking up at the other.” I have a boyfriend and  before you ask any follow up questions our relationship is a bit different… He has a boyfriend of his own and huh I told him that if I found someone that I was interested in that I would give it a shot and well I’m kinda taking a shot right now, with you.”

‘Not even one. Unless midnight snacks after a hook-up count. No, but seriously, I . . . I guess I’ve just never found someone so . . . compelling before.’ Gavyn decided, since it was something Victor brought up, that if the other man insisted on paying for something tonight, he’d let it slide. But since he’d been the one to suggest four dates in one night, he also didn’t want Victor to have to pay too much. When Victor said his name, Gavyn picked up on the change of tone and looked into the man’s eyes. He was a bit puzzled why Victor hadn’t told him to stop if he had a boyfriend, not that it bothered Gavyn all that much if Victor was okay with it, but the more the other guy explained the situation, the cleared it became. Gavyn smiled, a little relieved that they both seemed to be in the same boat.

Victor nodded.” I do like Italian. “ The pianist wrapped his arm around Gavyns. “ I think that sounds like a good place to go too, I don’t think I’ve been there either.” He  smiled softly at the man.” So this is going to be our first date, huh? Or better yet our first four dates.”

“ I would never cheat.” Victor smiled softly nudging the other with his elbow.” I think you should be the one picking the restaurant. I haven’t gone to that many places and… Id like to go somewhere you want to go.”

“…” Victor hummed thinking over what the other had purpose.” You have yourself a date. It sounds like we’re going to have a busy day together.”

“Four dates in one night?” Victor raised his eyebrow.” How would we be able to do that? I can see that.”

“ I know.  Blowing into my ear is something only reserved for like the fourth date.” Vic joked.” Thank you for the kiss mister Graves.” 

“ I didn’t mean to make you sad I just prefer if you gave me a kiss on the cheek.”

you guess? lies - shall I suck on your earlobes some more?

“ Gavyn you aren’t going to suck on my earlobes. I’ll kick you.”

‘’ Actually neither..i was here yesterday and I dropped something. I’m a fire fighter so..i was checking just normal fire codes and such in the facility.’’ He explained to the man, as the conversation went further.  Benji eyed the man a little..he’d seemed a little uneasy but maybe he was tired or just wanted get to his own place…which he can understand.  He’d heard the ding as the elevator landed and the golden doors opened.   ‘’ Please you can go first.’’ He’d gestured for the man stepped inside.

Benji was just grabbing a item that he dropped when he came yesterday for some fire code inspections. He didn’t notice he dropped it until this morning.  After speaking with front desk clerk, explaining it to them and she nodded, giving him the OK.

He walked over to where elevator was and stood there, waiting for next one to come by.  Benji was looking down as he was checking his pockets again, double checking to make sure that he didn’t come all the way over here for nothing. It was completely silent until heard a random man’s voice out of nowhere.  His head jerked up  and his eyes automatically darted to the owner of that voice. ‘’ Yeah.’’

Gavyn nodded, feeling a little glad that the guy hadn’t detested his obvious question, but a little alarmed he’d answered honestly with such a straight face. Perhaps it was due to the early hour; that total detachment of the brain, the consciousness checking out and body going on autopilot.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been dared.”
