[Rhett Goddard]

Rhett and Odion had a double date tonight with Avinea and her friend, and as usual, Rhett was working late this day. He needed to change jobs, but so far he hadn't found the time to go look for another one. He hadn't found the time for anything lately. He was feeling rather stuck with his life. He had thought that living by himself would be the greatest thing ever. He had thought that having Odion with him almost every time he was at home would be just perfect as well. But there was just something missing. Like he was missing. He felt like he was no longer himself, and that he was, lately, just absent from the world. He had been wondering if Odion had noticed, but honestly, he knew Odion had. And Rhett knew Odion was nowhere near happy with Rhett's mood lately. Nor was he with Rhett's work or schedules.

At first, Rhett didn't care much about it. Whether Odion was off towards Rhett or not was his problem. It wouldn't have to affect him anyway. But it wasn't truth. He wondered if Odion would leave him because of that, if Odion was ever going to give him some sort of ultimatum or just yell and be mad or something. He didn't want any of that. At all. He wanted Odion, happy right? And as he thought about, what made Odion happy was about the same thing that made Rhett happy, so there was really no objective of having both of them miserable. Changes were due, and they had been for some time now. It shocked Rhett to realize that he hadn't acted upon it before, when he blieved himself to be a supporter of change and new things.

Arriving at their apartment, Rhett ran towards Odion and planted an immediate kiss with his lips. If the fact that he sprinted through their living room instead of walking didn't say it clearly enough, maybe the huge smile in his face did, Rhett was oddly happy about something.

"I quitted." He said to his boyfriend before kissing him and running towards the closet. He had his clothes for the night already picked out, so he just took them and started to change in front Odion, which itself was also odd. "Are you ready? We'll be late." Soon enough, he was just arranging the yellow cardigans over the white shirt and putting some perfume, signaling Odion towards the door. "Let's go."

Rhett smiled, this time slightly, and offered Odion his right hand with the palm facing it so he would grab it. This promised to be a good night.

[Odion Martins]

Odion didn’t like the whole job thing. He hadn’t said a word about it to Rhett, but he didn’t have to. The blonde was almost interconnected with his thoughts, and maybe he didn’t want to be, but that was just too damn bad. Their eyes connected many times during the day and Odi was usually the first to look away. How could he pretend to be happy? What had happened to the flare and zip of a couple months ago?

Had he not been texting Avi a few days ago, this date never would have come about. He was happy about it though, even if Rhett seemed to busy for anything. Odion hated work, the social world in general, so why oh why was Rhett conforming to it? Odi was suffering with his powers and with school and deemed himself inconsolable. Rhett was nowhere to be found when he was actually needed anyways, so...

No ultimatum was giving though, just two lives living without much complaint but without much happiness. Rhett was trying to turn a new leaf or some bullshit like that, so Odion respected him enough to let him try.

Rhett was working late, so Odion let himself take his time and get ready. His favorite park of his outfit was his dark blue dress shirt, and he was sort of hoping Rhett would notice the new cologne he was wearing. He heard Rhett walk through the door, and he stood where he stood. Rhett was coming quickly at him, surprise written all over Odi’s face as he was kissed by his love.

Looking at the blonde curiously, Odion was happy he didn’t have to ask what was going on. In any other relationship, quitting a job would cause serious harm, but this news only made the ginger perk up into a smile. Another kiss and Rhett was dressing, and Odion simply stared. “That’s... Wow, okay.” He said, nodding a couple times. Rhett seemed to be in a huge rush and Odi was laughing a bit as he took Rhett’s hand.

Something significant had changed, if only a small amount.

“Avi will be waiting for her favourite blonde and ginger friends,” he said, bringing Rhett closer to him again for another kiss, this time prompted by Odion. “I’m glad you quit, maybe now I’ll have more time with you to myself without having to stop time,” he spoke without parting from Rhett.

And then they were off to go Downtown, Pilot Ridge.
