9 - Nice Night

                                    

                                          
Karl
                          
This chapter has some alcohol usage in it. Don't worry they are all of age, Nick being the youngest at 21.

He parked and got out of his car, smiling as he saw the two other men waiting for him right outside the restaurant.
                          
"Hey guys!"
                          
"Hey Karl!!"
                          
Alex waves excitedly to him as he approaches the two, hugging the both of them while shaking Nick's hand. Nick smiles warmly at him.
                          
"Nice to meet you."
                          
As he shakes his hand Karl can feel his strength yet can tell he's holding back for him. This makes his heart flutter a bit as he already gets nice vibes from the both of them.
                          
"Nice to meet you too!"
                          
Karl smiles brightly he lets go of his hand, heading into the restaurant with them. As they walk inside they can see it's not the fanciest but it's not Olive Garden. So they picked the right attire.
                          
"Hi! Just you three tonight?"
                          
A short woman with fluffy white hair says, they all nod at her as she grabs their menus and takes them to a booth. 
                          
Alex and Nick sit together while Karl sits across from them. The couple linking hands beside themselves.
                          
"So Karl, you work at the ice cream shop?"
                          
Nick asks, Karl nods innocently and smiles. Nick then side eyes Alex, now knowing the reason they went to get ice cream two days in a row.
                          
"Mhm! I've been working there since it first opened which was... a year and a half ago!"
                          
"Wow that's great! How's it been there?"
                          
Alex looks at him smiling, as Nick looks at Alex he can definitely tell he's not paying attention, he's definitely just soaking up the view in front of him. Nick can't blame him.
                          
"It's been good! It's mostly the family working and running it that makes me happy. They're really cool!"
                          
"Is that why it's called Sootie's icecream?"
                          
"Yep! They came from Britain and they're just really great!"
                          
Karl's bright smile melts both of the younger men's hearts. He is very adorable.
                          
"What about you guys? You working?"
                          
"Well, yes but not the typical way."
                          
Alex chuckles as Karl tilts his head in curiosity. He's not sure what the quite means.
                          
"Me and Nick are streamers."
                          
Karl makes an amazed sound, but then thinks of what they might stream. His face then becomes red.
                          
"I-I'm assuming games, right?"
                          
The comment makes both the boys laugh, finding the question funny. But Karl stares at them awkwardly, taking it seriously.
