Free Lunch Anyone?

[Desmond Giuseppe]

Desmond blushed slightly when Josh held his hand, but he didn't loose his cool. "That's ok." he said slyly at Josh's behavior comment, "My parents are in Philadelphia attending some kind of gay rights banquet, my dad's sort of a gay rights lawyer you see, and they won't be back until tomorrow afternoon, but even if they were home, my mom would be cool with it; she's a very compassionate woman." She'd be ok with Josh, a poor homeless boy, spending the night supervised, but if anything else were to happen. . ., "It's completely ok with me as long as you want to. Really, no pressure."

Josh leaned back in his seat and studied Desmond. He was so fuckable... ehh, adorable. "Well, babe... you've convinced me," he said with a grin. "I suppose I'll be staying with you tonight." Ah, he loved saying those words. He hadn't had a good meal in a while, he hadn't had a good night's sleep in a while, and he hadn't gotten a good fuck in a while... and he was almost guaranteed all of them that day. Maybe not the fuck part. He wasn't so sure that taking advantage of cute little Desmond was fair. But still... it had been a good day.

Josh let his eyes travel around the room. "Where's our food?" he mused aloud.

[Desmond Giuseppe]

"Good, question." said Desmond looking around the jam packed diner, "Poor Jewls, she's so swaped today and she's really a nice girl. Her brother on the other hand. . . oh, well, at least he's cute."

[jewls]

Jewls went rushing over to Desmond's table with their orders. "Sorry it took awhile guys." she said as she placed their burgers in front of them. "Um, drinks! Be right back!" she quickly went behind the counter and poured a coke and a vanilla milk shake then went back an put them on the table. "Alright fellas." she said with a deep breath, wiping hair out of her face, "Enjoy! If you need any thing else just holler!"

[Desmond Giuseppe]

As soon as they were complain about their food Jewls popped out of no where with it. "Thanks, Jewls" said Desmond, taking a sip of his milkshake. "Well that was kinda weird." He opened up his burger, grabbed the ketchup off the table and put some on. "Fuck, I forgot to ask for Mayonnaise," he turned around to see where Jewls was; she looked REALLY busy, "Oh, well; I fell bad asking Jewls to get it when she's so busy." He put his burger back together and took a huge bit of it. "Embargo" he said, his mouth full of delicious slaughtered cattle. He swallowed before he spoke again, "How's yours?" he asked Josh.

[doherty]

Josh must have been staring at his burger as if it were some kind of alien specimen because until Desmond spoke to him, he was totally gone, in another world entirely. "Oh, ah..." He cleared his throat and picked up the burger, taking a bite out of it. "Fuckin' great," he said poetically, his mouth still full. He swallowed, then grinned. "Sorry. I'm not really up on my eating manners. No one to impress, you see." He continued eating and was finished in mere minutes. When he was finished, he leaned back in his seat and put a hand on his stomach. "That... was amazing," he sighed, grinning from ear to ear.

[Desmond Giuseppe]

Desmond could only watch as Josh practically inhaled his burger. "I'm glad you like it." he said with a amusement. He chuckled silently to himself as he went back to eating his own meal at a slower pace than Josh. Cheese burgers had to be his favorite food ever to he took his time while eating so he was sure to enjoy them to their fullest meaty cheesy delight. When he finished his burger he began on his fries, once again no mayonnaise and no balls to ask Jewls to get him some. He went for the salt and pepper again and ate his fries dry. "Want some?" he said to Josh.

[doherty]

Josh could do nothing else but watch at Desmond did his eating thing. Josh was actually and honestly thinking about Desmond the whole time, too. He wondered what could have possessed this kid to take him in, give him food, offer him a place to sleep... was he really that pitiful? Or was Desmond attracted to Josh? Josh couldn't understand it: he hadn't been in a real relationship for how long? Years. Not even with his family. So this was all pretty knew to him.

When Desmond offered him a fry, Josh shook his head. "No, thanks. I've had enough food for now." He grinned and gestured toward his empty plate. He grabbed the coke and slid it in front of him, drinking slowly out of the straw.

[Desmond Giuseppe]

"Ok," said Desmond with a shrug, "So then there won't be any desert for you then?" Desmond needed time to think about what he was going to do with Josh when he got back to his house. He couldn't put him in the guest room; what if his parents came home early and saw a stranger sleeping in there home? He had told Josh his mom would be cool with it, but that was only half true; his mom would be cool with it if she was actually there. They did have an air mattress, Desmond could set it up in his room, but that would leave him and Josh all alone in his room together. . . .

Desmond felt his face blush slightly at the very thought and began nervously shoveling fries in his mouth.

[doherty]

"No," Josh replied. "No dessert. You've spoiled me enough." He watched as Desmond nervously filled his face with fries. He raised an eyebrow in a sort of quizzical look. "Something wrong?" he asked curiously. Desmond could be a strange guy sometimes, Josh noticed. But it was cute somehow. Really cute. Especially the blush, which was damn charming. Josh scolded himself inwardly. You're getting way too attached. You don't do boyfriends.

[Desmond Giuseppe]

"huh? No, no, I'm fine." said Desmond hastily. As he finished his shake Jewls came by with there check. "Thank you." he told her as she smiled and walked away. "Sooo, I guess it's time to go then" said Desmond getting up and going over to the counter to pay. He couldn't believe what he was doing; inviting a complete stranger to spend the night in his house?! He turned and looked at Josh; how could he let him just sleep on the streets? He was so cute! Like a little lost puppy Desmond wanted to take home and love forever and ever! Wow, thought Desmond, that was gay even for me. . . He couldn't help but feel drawn to Josh. Letting him spend the night was the right thing to do. . . . . right?

"Ok, let's go." said Desmond leading Josh out of the diner, his heart beating painfully fast.

[doherty]

Josh got up after Desmond and bent down to grab his guitar as Desmond went to the counter to pay. He straightened out and looked over at Desmond, meeting his glance. And he recognized the look in the kid's eyes: some pity, some concern, some caring. And that was a bit strange to see in the eyes of someone he just met. Josh averted his eyes, then, too much of a coward to hold it there. And then he walked over to Desmond, waited as he payed, and followed when he began to leave. "Okay," Josh repeated. "Let's go." He stayed behind Desmond and stared at the back of his head, trying to figure out what the fuck was going on. And now he was going to the kid's house. Yeah, that should definitely help the confusion.

It was going to be an interesting night.
