(Yeah, we can.)

The next day, Rose was pacing back and forth nervously in his small motel room. He was holding onto his cellphone, trying to think of something to message Alec about their movie they were supposed to see.

(Okay)

Alec took a deep breath, uncertain. Was he sure about this? For all he knew, Rose could be a psychopath trying to kill him. Or some sort of demon trying to posses him. He let out a puff of laughter at his own fears. He knocked on the door to the motel room. "Rose?"

Rose practically flinched at the sudden knock on the door and he looked over at it when he heard Alec’s voice. “One moment!” He called, looking at his simple loose jeans, oversized sweater, and messy hair in the mirror. Was this fine enough to wear to the movies? He wasn’t sure, he had never been on a movie date before. Was this considered a date? He brushed aside his worries, deciding to leave his cellphone there and grabbed his wallet. He opened the front door, smiling up at Alec. “Hey,” He said.

Alec's eyes swept over Rose. He looked good. "Hey," he replied, clearing his throat and tearing his eyes away from Rose's body and to his face. He met his eyes, and a smile found its way to his lips. "Hey." He repeated again, this time more sure of himself. "You ready to go?"

Rose’s cheeks flushed as he picked up on the way that Alec had looked at him. “I’m ready,” he answered, tone a bit more timid as he looked up at Alec.

Alec held out his hand for Rose to take. "I figured we could get food too, so I got us tickets at this new theater that opened up. You can order food from an actual menu and stuff before the movie."

“Food sounds good,” Rose said with a small smile. Oh lord, he wouldn’t know what to do. What would he get? Food just has no taste to him whatsoever. But he looked down at Alec’s hand, his cheeks still tinted a shade of pink as he took it.

Alec smiled down at their intertwined hands. "Uh- we have to take my car to get there, if that's alright with you. I didn't completely know where this place was, so I drove here, and it'd probably be easier to drive to the theater instead of walking."

“That sounds okay, I can go in your car,” Rose answered with a nod and a smile. He obviously didn’t think about the hesitation that a normal person would have when getting into the car with someone they didn’t know well at all.

(Sorry I wasn't able to reply, I've had a pretty hectic couple of days)

Alec let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. "Great," he said, leading Rose over to one of the parked cars. He let go of his hand and opened the passenger's side door for him.

(It’s all good)

“Thank you,” Rose said with a smile as he got into the passenger seat. He looked around at the inside, red eyes drinking in his surroundings. He couldn’t remember the last time he had been in a car since they had first been developed, and this looked much different.

Alec shut Rose's door before heading over to the driver's side. He closed the door and started the car, putting on his seat belt as he started to pull out of the spot. "Do you live here?" He asked Rose hesitantly, gesturing at the motel.

Rose had watched Alec’s movements and mimicked them, putting his seatbelt on as well. “I do right now, yeah,” he answered, looking out the window and at the motel.

Alec drove towards the main road. "I mean, it's kind of.. what's the word…" He thought for a moment. "Shady?"

“Shady?” Rose repeated, thinking for a moment. “Oh, I guess it is a bit shady.. It doesn’t cost much to stay there, and that’s the only thing that I can afford.”

Alec hummed in acknowledgment. "I get that. That's one of the main reasons I found a roommate, even if he is a total dick half the time."

Rose’s nose scrunched up a tad at that. “But the company must be nice,” he commented, looking out the window as he spoke.

Alec smiled. "Yeah, but.. privacy just isn't something that exists."

“Oh, I understand what you mean now. Privacy is nice,” Rose said, looking down at his hands, which were folded in his lap, and then over at Alec.

"I mean, it's not all bad, because he generally knows how to help me with stuff, but it can really just get annoying." Alec explained. "If I want to actually hide something I have to do it at a friend's house."

“What would you have to hide?” Rose asked,his red eyes big as his head was slightly tilted to the side. He had never lived with anyone else, so he didn’t know about anything that had to do with roommates.

"Birthday presents, mostly." Alec answered. He pulled into a parking lot. "This is it." He said, gesturing to the theater.

Rose nodded slowly, looking at Alec for a moment longer before looking at the theater. He leaned forward in his seat, a smile forming on his lips. “It looks nice.”
