Flying Blind
Riley looked at himself in the mirror and curled up his face. This was so not his style, on any level. He was wearing a necktie for crying out loud. Yes he'd promised Henry he'd clean up and wear a suit, but this was so weird. He didn't do the suit and tie thing, and he'd certainly never been on a blind date before. He'd never been on ANY dates before. It just wasn't something he'd really made a priority in his life. He'd never even really thought about what his 'type' was.

Henry had made some valid observations though, and he'd been persuasive. Henry usually was. He did need to get out more. As it was lately, he'd bee spending every waking moment not in school on patrol, with or without Dinah.

Should he have told Dinah he'd be busy tonight? He can always tell her if she contacts him.

He sits down, fidgeting with the buttons on his sleeves, waiting for Henry to call with the info about where to meet his mystery date.

Alex waits quietly, just watching Riley. He's not sure what answer he's going to get but he knows which one he really wants. And then the more muscular hero smiles.

"Awesome!" Alex declares with a grin, moving to grab Riley in a hug on impulse.

Hugging. Hugging he can deal with for now. That's fine. He goes ahead and hugs back, taking a deep breath and trying to relax.

Alex holds on for a few moments but eventually pulls back. "Sorry about that," he says. "I couldn't help myself there."

"It's okay. We're dating, so I don't suppose a hug's anything to get upset over." Riley shrugs and chuckles.

Alex smiles. "Yeah. Least it wasn't something worse...like trying to kiss ya and just ending up smashing our noses together," he tries to joke.

"Be right back a sec," he says, getting up and jogging to the kitchen a moment. He returns with a scrap of paper with his email, cellphone number, and IM contact on it. "Here...so we can get in touch."

Riley feels his insides twist reflexively at the mention of kissing.

He takes the paper when Alex returns, nodding and putting it in his pocket. "Sure thing. I'll e-mail you all my stuff."

Alex grins and sits back down next to Riley. "Great," he says. He's pretty much beaming now. "This was a really great night, Riley. Thanks."

"I had a great night too." He leans back on the couch, making himself comfortable.

"Great," Alex echos, leaning back as well. He lets his thoughts wander, occasionally glancing up at Riley. He's not sure what exactly to do next.

Riley's not sure either. He fidgets a bit, before just coming out and saying it.

"So... it okay if we just relax for a bit, or did you have anything else in mind?"

Alex puts on his smile and nods. "Relaxing's fine. We can watch some TV or just rest here," he offers. "Er...want anything to drink?" he adds another offer.

"Nah, I'm good." He shifts a bit on the couch, making himself comfortable, as he smiles reassuringly to Alex.

Returning the smile, Alex nods. "Alright," he says, mind racing to find something to say or do. Eventually he just shifts to get more comfortable and leans back. "This is nice..." he remarks quietly, closing his eyes and just resting there.
