Brutus still wasn't used to having a girlfriend. There were all these things he had to do all the time. And the worst part was that he was now trying out for her little choir thing. <i>And</i> he had to concern himself with Valentine's Day, which wasn't really that far away. What did you get your girlfriend for Valentines anyway?

Running a hand over his mohawk, Brutus stared at Xavier before he fell onto his bed with him. "I'm in here before Caspar comes in here. He can fuck off. I'm having problems."

Xavier looked down at Brutus and laughed. "I really don't want you in my bed for the same things Caspar comes to my bed for," he told Brutus, sitting up a little. He'd been a bit too caught up in his boyfriend to spend time with his friends lately. That wasn't good.

"What problems?" he asked. "Is it about Ana? Are you two dating now, or just... whatever it is you were doing before?"

"I think we're dating. I asked her to be my girlfriend and she said yes." That was his first problem. He grumbled to himself for a moment, then glanced at Xavier beside him. He didn't want to be in the bed with him for the same things Caspar came for either.

"Valentines is next week. And I've got to audition for that bloody chorus thing." Brutus frowned. "I've never had to do this before."

"Audition? Or take someone on a date? Or be someone's boyfriend?" Xavier asked, looking down at Brutus. "Or all of the above? Look, don't worry about it. It's not as stressful as you think."

He smiled to himself, remembering his audition for Caspar. "If Ana's anything like Caspar, you're really going to like your audition. And for Valentine's... Get her some roses and chocolates and take her to Puddifoot's. That's what girls like."

	"You-" Brutus frowned at what Xavier was saying. "Are you serious right now? You want me to take a girl to Puddifoots? Do you know anything about my reputation? People will kill me." He shook his head. "There has to be something else I can do. And I can't sing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Xavier snorted. "Your reputation is exactly why you should take her to Puddifoot's, Brutus. You're supposed to be the straight one. Why don't you understand girls better? You take her someplace you wouldn't normally be caught dead in and she'll be all over you."

He looked Brutus over and then shrugged. "Or you could sing to her on Valentine's Day and have a picnic or something. She'd like that too."

	"I think you're missing the point where I can't sing." Brutus pointed out, then grumbled miserably. He didn't know if Xavier's advice was good or not, but he figured he might as well try it. "Should I like... dress up or something?" Brutus asked after a moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You're not as good as Caspar or Ana or Kit or Albus," Xavier agreed. "Although I don't know if Albus is still in choir. There was some kind of incident and me dating Caspar requires me to be on his side, so I don't know the full story, but Kit and Albus broke up. Anyway, I'm not that good, but Caspar still threw himself at me when I sang for him. You'll be fine. You can play guitar."

A smile appeared on Xavier's face when Brutus mentioned dressing up. "We could go shopping," he said. "We should go shopping."

	"I know that I can play guitar. My dad thinks it's gay." Brutus pointed out and then grumbled again. He couldn't help it. Xavier made him grumble. The situation made him grumble. He frowned at the suggestion. "You... No." He shook his head. "You'll make me look awful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Xavier rolled his eyes. "Right," he said. "And your dad fucking another man and raising a kid with him is totally straight. If you impress Ana with your music, you'll get laid. Just saying." He gave Brutus an offended look. "I will not. I know your personal style, Brutus. I'm not going to put you in a fucking sweatervest. This is what I do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You tried to put me in a sweater-vest when we were seven." Brutus pointed out with a frown. "Back when I still had more hair and you combed it and made me look like a freak." He sighed. "Can't she just like me for who I am? Why do I have to pretend to be something else?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"We were seven," Xavier said. "I'm not seven anymore. There's no point in me making you look like someone you're not. I just want to polish you a little."

He sighed. Brutus was such a Macnair. "Dressing up a bit to show a girl you made a special effort for her isn't pretending to be something else. It's like giving her a present. Saying it's pretending or that it means she doesn't like you for who you are is just making an excuse. It's like if she puts on sexy underwear for you. She's not pretending she's someone else. She's just doing something for you."

	Brutus frowned at that. "Don't talk about her wearing sexy knickers. She does wear them sometimes, though. Mostly, she wears those white cotton ones. Those are... kind of hot." "What's kind of hot?" Caspar asked as he looked at the two boys in the bed, arching a brow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ana's knickers," Xavier said, looking up at Caspar and smiling. "Sorry. Brutus beat you here, but he promises that he's not here for the same kind of stuff you crawl into my bed for." He sat up a bit and patted the bed beside him. "We're brainstorming stuff for Ana for Valentine's Day. You can come help us. What would she like?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I feel like I shouldn't be part of this conversation, considering she's my best friend." Caspar pointed out. "It feels almost like cheating to me, because I know exactly what she likes."

He ran a hand through his curly hair and sat down on the bed. "She loves singing and dancing, though with your size, I can't imagine you'd be very good at dancing. You could take her to a play, but that's difficult while in school. Just sing to her."

Brutus grumbled. "Fine. I'll sing." He told them both, giving up. "What am I supposed to sing?"

Xavier laughed, wrapping an arm around Caspar. "I've been telling him he should sing to her since he first started asking for my advice," he told Caspar, kissing his neck. "It's not cheating. It's just confirming what we already knew."

He thought about it for a moment. "You could sing Sweet Caroline," he suggested. "You could learn that on your guitar by the time Valentine's Day rolls around."
