Once aboard the bus, Callum stared out the window and thought about the previous night's events. He could have just as easily lied to Brian and told him he was visiting his parents. He stepped off the bus and walked down the road to the Tube station.

Of course, Bri's strop shouldn't have been so unexpected. I don't understand why he was being so unreasonable, though. He knows I'd eventually begin dating again. He massaged his temples as he stepped into the waiting area. Can't win fer losing.

Callum continued to ponder Brian's reaction on the train ride to Golders Green. He owed it to Brian to let him know about the change in weekend plans. That "let's be honest with each other" pledge had begun to warp itself at the most inopportune moments. He stepped out into the waiting room and didn't see Simon, so he found an empty bench and sat down to wait. It would be easy to hop the next train back home, but it wasn't about Brian any longer. He wanted to spend more time with Simon and he'd found the perfect opportunity.

Brian just needs to get over himself. Callum folded his arms and stared at his feet.

* * * * Simon arrived at the station and noticed something was bothering Callum. His arms were folded tightly across his chest while he stared intently at the floor, his forehead creased in thought. Simon sat on the bench across from him, but when this didn't interrupt Callum's meditation, he leaned forward to make direct eye contact with a small smile. "Hi."

"Simon. Hallo." They stood and hugged. "Glad to see ye again."

"Same here."

They separated and took each other's hands. "Ye look good."

"Thanks." Simon gave Callum's hand a squeeze. "Is everything all right with you?

You seemed rather lost earlier."

"Bri and I had a blow-up last night and it's been bothering me. It all seems so

pointless now."

"Doesn't sound as if you're still bothered."

"I'll see him again soon enough, though. We'll be able to sort it out in due time." "Okay."

Callum shrugged and shook himself out to stand at his full height. "So. Any

particular plans?"

"Not really." He released Callum's hand then slid his arm across his shoulders. "I

figured we'd stop off for brekkies first but that's the extent of any planning I've done.

Have you eaten yet?"

"No, I haven't. Is there anywhere in particular ye'd like to go?"

"There's a decent place not far from here, just up the road a bit and after that, it's

anybody's guess."

"Should we at least pick another Tube stop fer later so we'll have some clue?" "Sure." They walked over to the Underground map, Simon's arm still across

Callum's shoulders. "Here goes."

Simon closed his eyes and circled his finger around the map three times before he

pointed at a particular stop, then opened his eyes. "Kings Cross."

"Fucking hell," Callum muttered as they turned around to head out for breakfast.

"Thundering herds of giggling Harry Potter fans ahoy. Just kill me now." "Relax." Simon kissed Callum's temple. "I'm sure we can find a nice little chippie

nearby or stop off for a pint.
