SAM WAS waiting at a table in Corduroy when Zachary arrived. He looked nice in a blue shirt and sports coat, with his slightly long, auburn hair brushed back casually. He stood to kiss Zachary on the cheek when he reached the table.

As they both sat down, Sam said, “I hope you don’t mind, but I ordered some martinis already. Dry with olive and a twist, right?”

Zachary chuckled. “You really pay attention. I haven’t had a martini since that first dinner in New Orleans, and you still remember.”

“Of course I do,” Sam said with a grin. “I got up the nerve to ask out a handsome man like you. You can bet I remember every detail.”

The waiter brought their cocktails, and they touched glasses and chatted easily for a bit. When they opened their menus, Sam asked, “Have you seen the new Captain America movie yet?” as they looked over the options.

“What kind of nerd would I be if I hadn’t waited in line for the first midnight showing of Civil War?” Zachary said, and he smiled. “I’d like to see it again, though, if you’re interested.”

“That would be great. Better yet, can we do a marathon of First Avenger and The Winter Soldier before going to the new one?” Sam asked.

“Sebastian Stan is so hot, right?”

“I know. I keep hoping they’ll ramp up the bromance and have Cap and Bucky get it on.”

That was how the conversation ran all night, and Zachary was in heaven to let his geek flag fly. As much as he wanted to make a professional name for himself, advance a career, find a new identity as an out-and-proud gay man in DC, he didn’t want to let go completely of the things he had loved through high school and college, like comic books and superhero movies.

“Movie marathon. Roger,” Zachary said. “How about Saturday? Oh, wait, I can’t. I’m working at Rainbow Space that day. Sunday?”

“I can do Sunday. No problem,” Sam answered as he took another sip of his martini. “Is this the LGBT shelter you were telling me about?”

“Yes. I’m going to do some work with Joe. He’s the guy I mentioned who runs the place. I’m going to get his donor database updated, and then we’ll be making dinner for the kids. Hey, what about making our Marvel-movie marathon a group thing for any nerdy teenagers who want to participate?”

Sam tilted his head. “Is it awful of me if I say I’d really like to spend the time with just you this Sunday? Maybe we could do a group thing the following weekend. I don’t know, maybe some Star Trek?”

“It isn’t awful at all. I get it. I’ll talk to Joe about a viewing party next week.”

“I really admire that you do so much for these teenagers. I might have some time to help too, if you wouldn’t feel like I was crowding you. This is your thing, and I don’t want you to feel you have to share it.”

Zachary sat up straight and said, “Are you serious? I’d love it if you got involved.
