"Yo, kinda weird, but... wanna bounce to my pad? No weird stuff, just... chill?" sighs "Dunno why I'm askin'."
WhimsicalRavine
sure! I say with a shrug and giggle
He grins, clearly relieved that you didn't turn him down. As he leads you through the streets towards his apartment, Mike glances at you from time to time, still somewhat nervous.
"So, uh... You ain't gonna judge me or anything, right?" He asks with a sheepish chuckle.
WhimsicalRavine
sure! I say, already downing my drink so I can go
Mike grins, a mixture of surprise and relief on his face as he stands up, throwing some cash on the table to cover the tab.
"You ready? Let's roll." He motions for you to follow as he leads the way out of the bar.
WhimsicalRavine
I tilt my head and give him a questioning look.
He rubs the back of his neck, clearly nervous about asking.
"Uh... just a nightcap at my place. Nothing crazy. Just some drinks and... maybe some good conversation?"
He glances away, avoiding eye contact, before looking back at you. "Not really my scene, but something's been on my mind lately. And you're the only one I feel comfortable talking to about it."
WhimsicalRavine
Sure… if that’s what you want.
Mike grins sheepishly, relieved that you're willing to go along with this unexpected turn of events.
"Alright, cool," he says, standing up and signaling for you to follow him. "Let's roll."
He leads you out of the bar and into the night, navigating through the bustling streets toward his apartment.
WhimsicalRavine
Sure! Why not? Lead the way, dude.
Mike nods, seemingly surprised by your casual response. He stands up and leads the way out of the bar, his shoulders slightly tensed.
As they walk through the cool night air, Mike glances at you every few moments, his expression a mix of nervousness and curiosity. He seems to be weighing his words carefully before speaking.
"So... uh, you don't seem weirded out or anything by this, right?"
WhimsicalRavine
Sure! What kind of pads do you have? I say teasingly.
He chuckles nervously.
"Just a regular apartment, nothing fancy. And hey, no judgment here. You're the one coming over."
He checks his watch, then looks back up at you.
"I live just a few blocks from here. Shouldn't take us too long to get there."
WhimsicalRavine
if it’s no weird stuff then sure
Mike nods, relieved that you agreed without hesitation. He grabs his keys and stands up, gesturing for you to follow.
"Alright, let's roll."
The two of you leave the bar and walk in silence for a while. Eventually, you arrive at a modest apartment building, and Mike leads you up several flights of stairs to his place. He fishes out his keys and unlocks the door, pushing it open and stepping inside.
WhimsicalRavine
Sure. Is it ok if I bring a friend though?
Mike looks taken aback by the request, clearly not expecting such a question. He hesitates for a moment, contemplating your proposal.
"Uh, sure, I guess? Just... no funny business, alright? I mean, I'm cool with it, but no weird stuff. Got it?"
WhimsicalRavine
I chuckle softly before taking another swig from my bottle of beer Sure, why not? Lead the way, champ.
Mike lets out a small exhale of relief, as if he wasn't sure whether you would agree or not. He takes another swig from his bottle before nodding and gesturing for you to follow.
"Alright, let's roll."
He leads the way to his apartment, which isn't too far from where you're currently standing. The journey is relatively quiet, aside from the occasional small talk and Mike fidgeting with his hands.
WhimsicalRavine
sure bro I say with a laid back chuckle
Mike's eyes widen slightly at your agreeableness, clearly not expecting such a casual response.
"Right on," he says, standing up and gathering his jacket. "Just a heads up, it's a bit of a walk from here. My place isn't too far though."
He leads the way down the street, his hands shoved in his pockets. As they walk, Mike steals glances at you, seemingly deep in thought.
WhimsicalRavine
Sure! If you’re okay with me being here…
He smiles sheepishly, still looking a bit nervous.
"Yeah, I mean... I'm asking you over, right? So, that means I want you here. Don't worry, I'm not gonna bite... probably."
WhimsicalRavine
I tilt my head slightly confused but shrug. "Sure, I don't see why not."
Mike looks relieved that you agreed, although still a bit nervous. He quickly pays for the drinks and leads you out of the bar.
The walk to his apartment is relatively quiet, save for the occasional clearing of his throat. Once they reach the building, he fumbles for his keys before unlocking the door.
"Make yourself at home," he says, stepping inside and gesturing for you to follow.
WhimsicalRavine
Sure! I giggle slightly as I shrug
Mike grins at your response and pats your back.
"Cool, cool. Let's roll."
He leads you to his apartment, fiddling with his keys anxiously. As he unlocks the door, he motions for you to step inside. The place is neat, if a bit messy, with a few video game posters adorning the walls.
WhimsicalRavine
Sure… if you’re sure. I look at him curiously.
He seems relieved as you agree, a small smile forming on his face. "Yeah, I'm sure. Let's go."
He leads you to his apartment, fiddling with his keys. As he opens the door, he steps aside, gesturing for you to enter. The apartment is tidy and modern, a faint smell of cologne lingering in the air.
WhimsicalRavine
Of course! I’d love to go back to your place. I smile at him, nodding my head
Mike's eyes widen slightly, a mix of surprise and relief crossing his features. He nods back, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
"Alright, cool," he says, standing up and grabbing his keys from the counter. "Just a heads up, my place ain't exactly fancy, but it's homey."
WhimsicalRavine
Yeah, sure. Lead the way.
Mike gives a nod, a slight smile forming on his face, before leading the way. The two of you walk together in comfortable silence until you reach his apartment. He unlocks the door and ushers you inside.
WhimsicalRavine
Sure! I’m always down for some good company!
Mike's heart races as you agree. He leads the way to his apartment, fidgeting with his hands the entire time. As they enter the building, he steals glances at you, trying to gauge your interest.
"Um, make yourself comfortable," he says, gesturing towards the living room. "Just give me a sec, I'll grab some drinks."
