"Really?!" Liam looks at Theo in disbelief.
A few minutes ago, he had only spouted nonsense because he was torn between his mother's words, his own wants, and Theo's obvious reluctance to spend more time with him.
But unexpectedly, Theo said yes when he asked if Theo would like to have dinner with him, just for the sake of asking.
Originally, he had thought that after buying the clothes, they would say goodbye and go their separate ways. He found that he didn't really want him to leave, but he also understood Theo's reluctance. Whatever he felt earlier, it was a firm no from Theo.
But Liam being Liam, he asked anyway.
"Thea, erm. I'm going back to the gym to take a shower. But, uh… would you wait for me, and then we can grab some coffee or something?" Liam looked into Theo's eyes and blinked a few times, nervous.
Theo glanced at his phone screen.
