Those were only the first of several evenings the two of them would spend together. That following week, Tatsuya started coming almost every evening at closing time to invite Vanya out for dinner or a drink. Sometimes they went somewhere fancy, other times they stayed at Ivan’s café, or went to a nearby bar, or even just walked around town for a while if it wasn’t too cold. Once, Vanya had even taken Tatsuya for dinner at a fast food restaurant. They’d had plenty of fun, Tatsuya could not remember going to one since he’d been in high school. Vanya had made him tell him all about those days.

On Vanya’s day off, Tatsuya even took him out for the day; they had lunch out and enjoyed some time together before going for dinner and a movie. It was a rather typical date, but Vanya was delighted with it.

Every evening they’d spent together had been one of the best he could remember. Tatsuya seemed to like spending time with him. How could Vanya think the man had any sort of ulterior motives, when Tatsuya had not once spoken business without his own prompting, and when he’d been nothing but gallant and nice towards him? At some point, Vanya had stopped worrying about what ifs, and started enjoying the now.

And ‘now’ was Tatsuya walking him to the car, a hand on his lower back as he guided him, letting go only when it was time to open the door for him. Vanya was almost sad that the night had been drawing to an end, and had been about to open his mouth to try and make the night last a bit longer when Tatsuya spoke up.

“Would you like to come over to my place?”

“Yes,” he answered without a thought. And that was all that was said for the entire ride.

As it was to be expected, Tatsuya lived in the rich part of town, on the 10th floor of a rather tall, modern building that was all sharp angles and wide mirrored glass panes. There were only two apartments per floor, which meant the loft–like apartment he led Vanya up to was quite spacious. Like the building, the place was decorated in a modern fashion and sober colors; the electronics were high–end, the sofa ample and luxurious, the curtain–less windows tall from floor to ceiling. The open–floor plan left little to hide away. The kitchen had only an open counter that served as bar separating it from the dining/living area. The bedroom was only half–hidden behind a set of bookshelves.

Vanya’s gaze took it all in, from the lovely but impersonal design, to the lack of photographs and the ultra–clean state of the bachelor’s apartment. Not that he was dirty or anything, but his own apartment was usually a bit of a mess. He could not have a date over without at least a day’s notice so he could tidy up.

“This is very nice. Very... hospital–like,” he joked, looking from the room back to his date.
