Tommy H going through the 5 stages of grief after spotting Steve in a gay bar and thinking his sophomore year prayers have been answered just to find out that Steve is here with his boyfriend.
- - - -
He approaches Steve by the bar and strikes up a conversation, Steve politely engages cause he's hoping it's been long enough to just bury the hatchet.
Tommy *looks Steve up and down*: sooo, what have you been up to since high-school?
Steve: uh, not much. day jobs mostly, time with friends, I finally managed to get out of my parents' house.
Tommy *not listening*: cool, cool, you seein' anybody? Or . . .?
Steve: actually I am-
Eddie *grabs Steve's ass so hard there's an audible smack when his hand meets the denim*: how are those drinks coming babe? The girls are getting antsy.
Steve: Jesus Eddie, don't sneak up on me like that. And the drinks are ready, you can help me carry them if you're in such a hurry.
*Steve hands two beers to Eddie and picks up two Manhattans himself, not trusting Eddie not to spill them*
They start to walk away when Steve looks over his shoulder at a gobsmacked Tommy and says 'nice catching up' as an afterthought.
(They were on a double date with Robin and Nancy, the Manhattans were for Nancy and Steve. Robin doesn't like drinks that come in fancy glasses because she spills them)
