Spencer

[just_hex]

Hex's attitude had brightened over the past weeks to the point that even the people at the hospital had noticed. No one gave him a hard time when he announced he had a boyfriend, but Caro did wink and nod and made him blush.

This week he'd lucked out and had actually gotten the weekend off...every dog had its day...and he'd made plans with Spencer. Hex had cooked, nothing terribly fancy, just some chicked and some oven baked chips, and he'd set up a new documentary in his queue. He really was itching to go out but he and Spencer had never really discussed...well, he doubted very much he'd get Spencer out to the Hoist and he wasn't too keen on going to a bar.

He met Spencer at the door with a smile, the rich scent of dinner filling his flat. The first impulse was to kiss him but Hex was always very careful, very purposeful when he touched Spencer. The last thing he wanted was to startle him.

Offering a small wave, Spencer smiled as he stepped inside. He still wasn't totally certain what he was doing. Dating was still so foreign to him, but he liked Hex a lot, and he enjoyed being with the other man- Even if he did worry sometimes that they didn't have enough in common.

He held out he flowers he'd brought in offering, looking a little unsure.

"Everyone said that I'm supposed to bring wine when I go to someone's home for dinner, but you don't drink- And I don't actually know a lot about wine. So I read up on dinner etiquette, and some of the books I read suggested bringing a floral arrangement instead. ...They're alstroemeria. They're meant to bring prosperity. They're not native to England, however. They're actually Brazilian, sometimes called Peruvian lily or lily of the Incas."
