RYAN: Hey

RYAN: So, I know it's an odd request, but I was given some tickets to see the upcoming RENT tour

RYAN: But since that's my evening shift week, I can't actually go. 😭

Well thank you so much I am very excited for it to be out so everyone can hear it. 

LOCATION: Hollywood Pantages Theatre

OPEN TO: Ryan Pierce & Tina Cohen-Chang @tinacchq

WARNINGS: none, just two friends going on a friendly night time hang-out where nothing of the romantic kind will happen

This was decidedly not a date. Ryan had the mantra repeating in his head over and over again as he got buttoned up his shirt. There are to be no hanky-panky when it comes to Tina tonight, they were just two friends. Friends go on platonic dates, right? Right. Ryan felt like his mind was pushing and pulling into all the different directions. Tina had always have this effect on him, making him lose all sense of control. Tying the bowtie around his neck, Ryan stared at his own reflection for a good few minutes. 

There’s nothing to worry about, it’s just Tina. ‘Just Tina’ -- as if Tina was ever ‘just’ anything. Relenting to his own subconscious, he knew tonight was going to end up hurting him more than help. How was he supposed to try and not be in love with Tina when he can’t even go a day without talking to her? Maybe I really ought to take a vacation somewhere, maybe I should go home. He mused to himself. Sighing deeply again, Ryan pulled his suit jacket off the back of a chair and headed out to pick up Tina. Arriving at her door, he rapped his knuckles on the frame and waited patiently. Remember, not a date.

LOCATION: Entrance to IHQ

OPEN TO: Tina Cohen Chang. ( @tinacchq )

From the corner of his eye, Ryan spotted a familiar silhouette approached the building, it only took a millisecond before it registered that it was Tina. By the lights, she looked ever so beautiful. It’s been years since he first had the luxury of meeting her, but every time he still feel like a giddy schoolboy at the mere sight of Tina. When Tina was close enough, Ryan moved to hold open the door for the woman and greeted her with a warm smile. “Good afternoon, Miss Tina.”
