Jordan

"Hey," Xander says, sliding into the chair across from Jordan and opening his lunch.

"You doing okay?" Jordan asks. "That was a pretty rough hit during practice."

Xander shrugs, but both his shoulders are moving freely, so he's probably actually okay. "It probably looked worse than it was."

"If you say so." Jordan tries to keep the skepticism out of his voice, but he's pretty sure he fails.

They eat in silence for a few minutes. Jordan opens his mouth a couple of times to speak, then closes it, hating himself for the swirl of nerves in his gut. You're friends, he tells himself firmly. This is a thing that friends do. Ask him!

"So," he finally says, forcing the word out through a throat gone tight. "The series premier of Dragonfly is on Tuesday."

"That's right!" Xander looks up from his food. "Shit, is that next week?"

Jordan nods. "I was wondering if you wanted to come over and watch it?"

"Sure," Xander says easily, like he has no idea of the turmoil going on in Jordan's head. "I can bring food if you want?"

"I've got it, but if you want to help cook, I could always use an extra set of hands?"

Xander grins. "Deal. And I'll bring the beer."

"Great." Jordan closes his teeth before anything about it being a date escapes him. This is not a date. This is friends. They're friends.

"Great," Xander echoes, his eyes crinkling as he smiles.

Jordan can't help but smile back, despite the sinking sensation in the pit of his stomach.

He is so fucked.
