Yep. Where we going?

Surprise ;)

Give me a clue here Drew. Do I need to wear a tie?

Haha no. Just something nice.

OK. Call me latr?

Will do x

Something nice.

Fine.

Jeez.

After more angst than Cooper would ever admit to, he settled on a denim shirt and gray slacks. His scruffy beard was just starting to settle in, partly due to his late start that morning and forgetting to shave. He decided to leave it.

Drew’s car was in the garage, so Cooper took his battered truck over to Drew’s place, following the directions he’d plugged into his phone. It was a fairly nondescript family house in a nice neighborhood—quiet at this time in the evening.

With a deep breath, Cooper decided to be brave and go knock on the door instead of calling Drew from the car. They had been dating for a few months now. He could handle meeting Drew’s housemates.

A pretty girl with big eyes answered the door, looking Cooper up and down, blatantly checking him out.

“Hey, Drew, your superhot boyfriend is here,” she yelled into the house. “Hi,” she said, turning back to Cooper. “I’m Lauren.”

“Nice to meet you,” he said with a laugh as Drew appeared behind her.

Lauren ducked under Drew’s arm and disappeared into the house.

“Hi,” Drew said, leaning in for a soft kiss. “You look great.”

“Thanks. You too.”

Cooper found himself being tugged into the house, so he guessed he was doing the meet-the-family thing. He passed a large family room, where Lauren and a few other girls were watching some reality TV show. The kitchen was at the back of the house, and an attractive black guy was sitting at a small table with his laptop. He stood when Drew and Cooper walked in.

“Cooper, this is my housemate Dan.”

“Hey,” Cooper said, taking Dan’s offered hand and squeezing it. “Are you another Disney employee?”

“Do I not look like a prince to you?” Dan said, spreading his arms and laughing. “I offered to put on a wig and a dress and play Tiana, but they said no, for some reason.”

Drew shook his head and smiled. “Ignore Dan, he’s got a bug in his ass about way too many aspects of our job.”

“I have a bug in my ass about the company-prescribed acceptable roles for a black man,” Dan said. “I can be a pirate, a cowboy, a damn chimney sweep, but I cannot be a member of a royal family.”

“Are you serious?” Cooper said.

“When they make a movie with a black prince, I will be first in line to put the tights on.”

“Dan’s a dancer,” Drew cut in. “He likes wearing tights.”

“Drew. No one likes wearing tights. But we do it for our craft.”

“What sort of dance?” Cooper asked.

“Contemporary, mostly. I pick up a few shows a year, but my hard-earned degree at AMDA has mostly sent me off dancing in parades and the Lion King show. Plenty of need for black dancers in the Lion King show.”

“I can’t
