The next day comes fast and furious. Before Matt can even blink, he’s showered, dressed and it’s seven o’clock at night. Next thing he knew, he’s knocking on the deputy’s front door, and then he’s sitting on a couch. The whole thing happens so fast that Matt’s nerves haven’t had the chance to settle down since he was in the sheriff’s station the night before.

Matt can’t stop looking towards the kitchen, his attention drawn by how simple the room looks. He can still remember the gossamer feeling of Sebastian’s mouth against his, too soft but way too present all at the same time.

Now that he’s not full of adrenaline and booze, he’s not feeling half as confident as he had when he’d accepted the date—or hang out, or whatever—in the sheriff’s station. Now that he’s here, a sweating soda pop can in his hand and Deputy Anders or Sebastian or whatever the hell he’s supposed to call him, sitting next to him, he wants to run.

Running seems like both the best and most embarrassing answer, though, so he tucks it away for now and tears his eyes from the kitchen, sipping his pop.

“So, what do you want to watch?” Sebastian’s leg is fidgeting, bobbing up and down, as if he’s as nervous as Matt is. It’s comforting in a way.

The problem isn’t so much that Sebastian is still a jerk. The guy’s a bit of a knob but it seems to be mostly accidental dick moments, like the way he was at the bar that first night when he ran into Matt. Even his panic the other night, after that kiss, makes sense to Matt—it’s annoying, sure, but the guy is straight and Matt supposes he’d freak out if he’d kissed a girl. It was weird, and it warrants a bit of freaking out. He can forgive the guy for that. He clearly seems different than he was in high school and if Vic’s conversation last night had an ounce of truth, it seemed fair to say that Sebastian was actively trying to make up for being such a jerk back then.

The problem is that Sebastian smells like vanilla and blushes if Matt looks at him long enough, and it’s hard to keep reminding himself that this is not, in any way, a date.

It’s hard to remind himself that he doesn’t want it to be a date.

“Whatever you want to watch,” Matt says, a few beats too late. Sebastian seems just as distracted and doesn’t notice the pregnant pause that passed between them before Matt answered.

Sebastian just nods, jerking forward to grab the remote. It’s only a half hour after seven and Matt can’t believe his stomach is in such knots already, so early in the evening.

Sebastian scrolls through the channels for a few seconds before he sees something that has him perking up. He clicks the remote before tossing it aside.

“Have you seen this?” he asks, gesturing towards the T.V. The opening credits to some science fiction movie is
