Summary: Rome prepares to have dinner with Third and Khai but an unexpected visitor changes the plans.
  Rome ran around his apartment finishing some last minute cleaning. Third and Khai were supposed to arrive any minute now and he didn't want the place looking a mess.
  He spotted his broken camera and made a mental note to ask Third if he could borrow his camera.
  Third and Khai were coming over for dinner tonight. It was hard for Third and Rome to meet up since he was busy starting his company with Khai and their friends. It was a lot of work and Rome was really happy for them.
  He started setting up the table when there was a knock on the door. He quickly ran over to let Third and Khai in but when he opened the door it wasn't them standing there.
  "P'Pick? What are you doing here?" Rome asked, confused.
  "Did you go on the date with Din?" Pick asked.
  "Uh, yeah, but it wasn't really a date. He just helped me out on a school project." Rome said.
  "You were calling it a date a few days ago when you told Porsche and I about it. Emma called it a date too and so did Din." Pick said, sounding frustrated.
  "Look, right now is not the best time to talk about this. I have plans and-hey!" Rome watched as Pick walked inside without an invitation. He quickly followed after him. "P'Pick!"
  "You have dinner plans?" Pick asked, looking at the table half set up. He turned and looked pissed. "Do you have another date with Din? Is that why you haven't been answering my text messages?"
  "No and the reason I haven't been answering your texts is because I've been busy. It's the start of the semester and my third year so I have a lot to do if I want to get an internship." Rome said glaring at Pick. "Not everything I do is about you."
  "Din likes you." Pick said.
  "I know that." Rome answered, starting to get frustrated. Third and Khai were going to arrive any second and the last thing he wanted was for them to walk in on Rome and Pick arguing.
  "So you're just going to lead him on?" Pick scoffed.
  "No, have you ever thought I might actually want to give him a chance? I'm not like you." Rome said, losing all his patience. How dare Pick insinuate he was just leading on Din?
  Pick looked taken back.
  "I don't know what you mean." Pick said.
  "I think you know exactly what I mean but if you want to keep denying it and acting oblivious then this is the end of this conversation. Now go." Rome said pointing at the front door.
  "I broke up with Ink." Pick said taking a step forward.
  "Ink? Is that the girl who was with you the other day or another?" Rome asked.
  "Who cares. I'm not dating anyone right now." Pick said taking another step closer.
  Rome backed away and shook his head knowing where this was going. This is what typically happened. Pick broke up with his girlfriend, showed up at Rome's place, they fucked all night, and he was gone by the time Rome woke up. It was a cycle that repeated itself every five or six days. And Rome was tired of it.
  "I don't want to do this anymore." Rome said as his back hit the wall and Pick finally was able to get close to him.
  "Do what?" Pick asked, leaning down and pressing a kiss to Rome's neck. The hickeys from the last time they'd been together were just starting to fade.
  "I've decided to move on." Rome said, shivering from Pick's breath on his neck.
  "Is that what you really want?" Pick asked kissing Rome up his neck, to his cheeks, and finally the corner of his lips. "Tell me to go and that this is the end of this and I'll do it. But look me in the eyes when you do."
  Rome stared at Pick and as much as he wanted to do just that and finally end what had been happening between them for over a year now he couldn't do it.
  "What the fuck is going on here?" Third's voice rang out in the apartment and Pick immediately took a step back.
  Rome saw Third and Khai standing in the doorway. Third looked murderous meanwhile Khai just sighed and shook his head as they both looked at Pick.
