5.

In the morning, Seb made a pitstop at his apartment to change his clothes before heading into the office. Gene was in a morning meeting with some of the other QA guys, so Seb simply went to his desk and fired up Archon Blitz, sinking a few hours into testing things before he got up and went to meet Tish for their lunch date.

The hyena was waiting for him at the Thai restaurant, and gave him a peck on the cheek when he showed up. “Hello, Sebby,” she said, her earrings winking in the noon daylight. She was wearing a black shirt with a plunging neckline along with a plaid skirt. “Good to see you.”

“You too!” Seb beamed as he held the door open for her.

They both got chicken and veggie skewers, and ate inside at a small booth in the back corner. Tish made smalltalk about the weekend shows at the Revolver, and about halfway through their meal her foot rubbed up against the inside of Seb's calf.

Seb pretended not to notice. “I had a quiet weekend,” he said, deliberately going a bit slow as he bit off a hunk of smoked pepper off the skewer.

“Those are always nice,” Tish said, her foot moving up to the inside crook of his knee.

“Yup...” He chewed, swallowed, then decided to take a chance. “Saw Dom, actually.”

Her foot stilled. “Oh?”

“Yeah, just saw him in passing and said hello.”

“Hmm.” Tish peeled a sliver of chicken off one of the skewered chunks with a claw. “I'm a bit surprised is all.”

“That I saw him?”

Delicately, Tish placed the small piece of meat between her teeth, then chomped down on it. “I mean, I know he has that day job down at the brewery. Real nine to fiver he is about that.” She put her elbows on the table and propped her head up in her hands. “Hmm. Interesting.”

Seb felt like growling. Both Tish and Dom were absolutely inscrutable about the tension between them, and it was really starting to annoy him. Why couldn't they just come clean?

Why can't you? A voice in the back of his mind asked him.

Because there's nothing wrong with what I'm doing, he argued. Whatever their deal is, both of them have said that they want to keep things casual with me.

And yet here you are playing coy with the both of them, keeping them in the dark about the fact that you're sleeping with the other as well.

Hey, my business is my business.

You told both of them about Diamond and Puzzle, the voice pointed out. Because you know that when you're dating around you need to keep everyone in the loop. You not doing it here is going to backfire.

“Seeeeeb.”

Seb started, Tish's voice jolting him out of his introspection. “Ah, sorry,” he said, his ears flicking back. “Zoned out for a second there.”

Tish snickered, then leaned forward a little. The motion made Seb acutely aware that Tish wasn't wearing a bra, as her breasts pushed the shirt out. “What were you thinking about?”

Seb inclined himself a little closer to her conspiratorially.
