So far, the bonfire was only interesting because Nick had had the foresight to bring good beer with him. Tyler and Reagan had hung out with him for nearly half an hour before disappearing somewhere with other friends they hadn't introduced. So far, Rhett and Liam had not made an appearance. He had talked to quite a few people, but no one who seemed to be his type of person. Or at least he wasn't clicking with any of them.

There was a taco truck across the way and he finally decided to check it out, once the line had thinned. After that, he intended to sit by the fire and drink his beer until such time as Tyler and Reagan appeared or he found a new way home. The tacos weren't cheap, but they smelled like everything that was good in the world, and Nick decided to sit down by the fire before he savored them, rather than wolf them on the way as he'd first intended.

He found a good spot and sat down, then took the first bite. He made an obscene noise as the flavors rolled over his tongue, not realizing anyone was nearby.

"Mind if I sit with you, or did you and that taco want some privacy?" Chet asked from his left.

Embarrassed but also amused, Nick nearly choked on his bite from laughing. He took a moment to find his breath and swallow before gesturing at the ground.

"Be my guest." Nick waited until Chet sat before speaking again. "Didn't expect to see you here."

"Yeah, one of the guys from work told me about it. Figured I'd check it out. I take it the tacos are worth the price?"

Nick laughed again. "Yeah, they're good. You want one? I got three."

"You're willing to share?"

"Well, I figure if I give away one, that gives me an excuse to buy more."

Chet smiled. "Well, if I'm helping the cause, how can I refuse?"

Nick handed one of his tacos over with a feigned look of dejection. "Goodbye old friend. I promise I'll get more of you."

Chet snorted and accepted the taco. "Thanks. I appreciate your sacrifice." He took his own bite. "Oh my God," he said, talking with a full mouth. "That's the best thing I've eaten in years."

"I told you. Let's hurry up and eat these so we can get more."

After the very brief time it took them to finish eating, Chet said, "Here, I'll go get more. You hold our spot."

"Not going to argue with that. It's the Banh Mi taco plate," Nick said, leaning back onto his hands to rest.

He watched Chet walk away, enjoying the view immensely. Nick couldn't deny being happy that Chet had shown up. The evening, which had been dull, was now suddenly looking promising. Nick knew better than to hope for more than friends, but he'd still rather hang out with Chet than nearly anyone. The guy was good company.

It didn't take too long for Chet to return, a fully laden plate of tacos in one hand and a couple of beers in the other.
