If someone had told Justin a few months ago that he’d be excited at the prospect of having a cheeseburger with a man he barely knew, at a club that was testosterone filled and populated with sweaty, horny men, he would never have believed it. These weren’t his people, this wasn’t his scene, and this certainly wasn’t the music he enjoyed.

And yet, here he sat at a table, dipping his French fries into his mayo and smiling at the man sitting across from him. Apparently, good company could make up for a multitude of other sins.

Finn’s head had pretty much been on a pivot since their arrival forty minutes previous. It was still too early for dancing, and most of the people here were either playing pool, eating, or sharing a drink. The music playing over the speakers was loud, but Justin and Finn had been able to talk with little effort.

“I had no idea this place was this much fun.” Finn’s voice reached him easily in between songs. “Not that I’d come here on my own, but this is great.”

“A gay bar would be an ideal location for you to go alone. You could practice talking to strangers.” It would be perfect if for no other reason than it might get Finn thinking about someone—anyone—other than Leo. “I’ll make sure to pass along your approval to Max.”

Justin had seen Max behind the bar when they’d first arrived, but he’d managed to move away before he was recognized. While he and Max had come to a sort of truce since his arrival to Toronto, he didn’t want to put himself in line for the teasing that was sure to come when Max realized Justin was here with a man.

Even if it wasn’t a date.

Neither he nor Finn would ever be ready for that.

Finn took another big bite from his burger, and Justin couldn’t help but watch as his tongue darted out to lick a dollop of ketchup from the corner of his mouth. This was something new for Justin, this sudden infatuation with every little move another person was making. It was embarrassing, or would be if Finn ever found out what he was doing. At least that wouldn’t happen. Justin imagined Finn only had room for one infatuation at a time.

Swallowing some of his beer, Justin pushed away the thoughts that threatened to take him down a path that wouldn’t be helpful for either of them. “We should talk about tomorrow night.”

He’d half expected Finn to jump at the chance, but he looked more than a little disappointed at the suggestion. “You know, if it’s okay with you, I’d rather not.”

Justin gave his head a shake as he fingered the bottom of his beer mug. “Whatever you’d like.”

“What I’d like is to finish this amazing burger. Eli’s going to kill me for eating something this delicious, because there’s no way it’s good for me. Then I’ll end up putting on weight that isn’t lean muscle, and he’ll make me do extra minutes on Jacobs Ladder.
