Dinner date [John]

[lights_midnight]

There's a Door in the living room. A note tells John to get out of work clothes and head on through, the girls have a babysitter for the night.

On the otherside is the Nexus cafe. Apollo's sitting by the window table, watching out through the glass.

It takes a few minutes for John to wash the blood -- not his -- out of his hair and off his body. The clothes go in the hamper to wash later and he dons a pair of jeans and a nice, button down shirt.

Guns are safely hidden under the sleeves of his suit jacket, he steps through the Door and looks around. He spots Apollo inside the cafe and makes his way inside and to the table.

"Hey," he smiles as he drops into the chair beside Apollo.

"Evening." Apollo grins and bumps John with his hip. "Thought a night out together might be nice. Don't know how many nights we spent in here eating together."

He's wearing his coat over a long sleeved tee and jeans (bum that he is). "What do you want?"

[clericpreston]

John smiles and nudges his chair closer. "Is this a date?" He grins with a teasing look in his eye.

"Dunno. Something good. I'm starved." He grins and pokes at the menu, looking for something appetizing. "What are you having?"

[lights_midnight]

"Of course it is." Apollo grins. "Why else would I book a babysitter and bring you down here?

"I am having... um..." He looks at the menu. "A good sized meal. Definitely. and a vanilla thickshake to drink."

[clericpreston]

"Mmm. That's a challenge that'll end badly for us." John smirked and watched as impassively as possible. Stubbornness would allow him to do just that. But, did he want to? That was the question.

Apollo quirks an eyebrow.

And licks the straw.

John smiles and props his chin up on a palm, watching. "It's gonna be a shame to waste the night waiting to see who'll crack first."

[lights_midnight]

"We'll see who's cracking when we get in private. Because what I'm thinking has no place in public."
