"What exactly is it that you're dragging me to?" Elodie asked as Xavier dragged her along the streets of London. She had a job interview the next morning and she really didn't want to have to deal with being tired and having bags under her eyes. Even if her boobs were more than enough to qualify her to work at Bubbles. She looked him over carefully.

"All you're telling me is it's a show." Elodie whined. "You're being very elusive about all of this. Come on. Tell me."

"That is because you're not a professional like me," Xavier said, waving a hand dismissively. "You'll come to the salon and I'll give you a trim and show you how to style it." He eyed Caspar's hair for a moment. "Maybe more then a trim. I can handle curls, don't worry. Phe has them too."

He laughed as he took another sip of his drink. "My life isn't that exciting," he said. "I really like my work. I'm at the salon or I'm in my classes most days. I spend a lot of time with Elodie, but she'd interviewing for a job tomorrow so that might change. Oh, Phe's dad is freaking out about him deciding he doesn't want to go to school, so I get to hide him in my flat. That's kind of exciting."

Caspar nodded at that and looked back at Xavier. "Well. I'm sure that that makes you very happy. Having your boyfriend living with you and what not." He gave him a tight smile.

If he was honest, he'd thought a lot about Xavier over the years. He remembered him as being perfect in his own mind. And after waiting so long, it kind of bothered him that he wasn't single. "I just have Ana."

	"That must be good, though," Xavier said. "Living with your girlfriend. She seemed nice when she came out to sing with you. You two seemed pretty close." If he was honest, Xavier didn't exactly like that. He wanted Caspar to be single. Even if he had a boyfriend. He was allowed to be a little selfish sometimes, right? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Caspar looked back at Xavier for a moment, then sighed. He ran a hand through his hair. "She's just my best friend. She's not my girlfriend. I just tell people that she is. She's kind of like my girlfriend. I mean, we snog when we're bored." He shrugged. "It's not a big deal. Nothing to worry about. Being single isn't bad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oh," Xavier said, and then drained his beer. Caspar was single. He snogged a girl when he was bored but... well, Xavier had snogged Elodie before. It didn't mean anything. And Elodie said there was no way Caspar wasn't gay.

"No, being single isn't bad," he agreed, thinking about the things they could do if he was single too. But he didn't want to hurt Cepheus. "I should probably get another drink. Why do you tell people she's your girlfriend?"

	"Because it's easier that way." Caspar told him with a soft laugh. "Do you know how often I get hit on? It gets really distracting and I don't know. It makes me feel odd. If that makes any sense to you." He sighed. "I just... have a certain type and no one I go to school with really fits it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Xavier raised an eyebrow at Caspar as he flagged down a waitress and ordered himself a whiskey. "You find getting hit on distracting?" Obviously he had to keep his hands to himself. "I don't know. I think it would be easier to find a real partner." He looked Caspar over. "What's your type?" he asked. "I might be able to set you up with someone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Caspar looked back at Xavier. He didn't want to answer that question. Answering that question would only be admitting that he was gay and he didn't really want to admit that he was gay. Even if it was Xavier. He'd never admitted it.

He chewed at his bottom lip. "I don't want people to know I'm gay." He told him. "Being gay in this industry is cliche and people will think I sleep with directors for my part. Or worse. Directors will expect me to sleep with them for the part, not based on my god given talent."
