[ It's a few minutes before he answers. He'd just finished cleaning up after completing a tattoo. His eyebrows raise as he snorts. ]
I would hope I'd know if it was ours. ;) When is this wedding?

I promise that you'll be warned of ours. Just in case.
It's at the end of the month. It's out of state. I can arrange for our transportation and I've already made a reservation in the hotel block on site.
[ Block? Why would a wedding have a hotel block? ]

I'd appreciate the heads up at the very least if it was ours.
Send me the dates so I can make sure to reschedule any clients and give Austin a heads-up. Will I need some kind of fancy suit?
[ He reads and rereads this part about a hotel block and shakes his head. ]
Whose wedding is it?

[ He blinks. He may not know a LOT about celebrities (unless they were famous racers or tattoo artists) but he knew the names and knew they were top-level. ]
Oh. Okay. No big deal then. At all.
I should find a new suit then.
[ Something in his gut said he needed to go. To be there. ]
I'd love to go with you.

It isn't a big deal. Okay? I mean that.
We went to school together and have kept in touch.
I'm glad you're going. It's probably going to be a mad house but I'm glad Avi found someone. Asa hooked up permanently with some reporter and I always wondered how Avi was handling it but you can't really ask that, you know?

I may not know a ton about fashion but I know enough that their names are a big deal.
I'm glad I can go with you though and that you asked. This means you have to go shopping with me.
Yeah, that would be hard to ask about - especially considering how close twins and especially those twins are supposed to be. But it sounds like they've both found someone that suits them.

Only if you're into fashion. Though Gemini shorts are the softest thing ever. I love them.
Oh. No. Shopping. Does this mean you'll let me pay? I'm offering.
It is my insanely crazy rich friends, after all.
Apparently! I haven't met half the spouses. August's works at the university and I was there last year.
I'm threatening Archer to meet his Vegas runaway husband.

I will trust your opinion on the shorts.
Tell you what, if you get to the cash register before me then yes.
[ Because that's how it worked right? ]
Now you'll have the opportunity to meet all the spouses at the wedding. Ahh yes, I remember hearing about that one if only because Abby and Les were obsessed with Elijah.

You know you don't have to, right?
Does it count if you tell me all your plans ahead of time? ;)
[ But he can't help the grin that is tugging on his mouth. He hasn't minded Nico spoiling him a bit since they started their relationship. He does his best to pay him back or spoil him in return in other ways. ]
That apparently, some people really like the hot lights and spotlight? What with Elijah being a movie star and Archer being a famous poker player and a Mulvaney.
Though, I'm sure there's more to it than that.

Would this make you my Gemini dealer then? ;)
From what I know, he sounds like a fun one to hang out with. I probably have fun talking shop with Atticus' husband, I hear he runs a garage.
No, you just love living life on the edge. Which is hot.

... you know, kinda does, yeah.
Oh man. Probably! I haven't met him either. Atticus wasn't close to any of us. I only know August because of some help he gave me once. He was graduating with his masters by the time I was actually in high school and I think he's a few years younger than me.
Yes, yes I do. I'm glad you like it.

Yes, yes I do. I'm glad you like it.
There are worse things.
Wow. Yeah, I can see that though.
So how about this. Dinner tonight and you can tell me everything I may need to know for this wedding?
That and I want to see you.

Lord. Wait till he talked to Austin and the other guys about this later!
But no matter how crazy and insane this all seemed, he felt he had to go. Not just because of Nico but somewhere deep inside his gut, which he's long since listened to, it felt right. He needed to be there for some reason.
The rest of the day passed by quickly enough and he was glad he had a change of shirt handy.
He steps into Luciano's a few minutes after 7 and looks around to see if he could see Nico already there.

Nico is sitting at the bar and waiting on Blake. He knew it was kind of crazy. Not inviting Blake to a wedding, though he knows that kind of seems like something as well, but there's the fact that it is the celebrity wedding of the year. Not just because it's a Mulvaney wedding but because Felix Navarro is, from all he's seen, a drama queen that makes Avi look subtle. So it's kind of a big deal.
He stands when he sees Blake come in, raising his hand to wave him down.
"Hi, Handsome," he says, coming over and giving him a tender kiss on the cheek. "We have a table. Come on," he says, taking his hand to lead him to the table.

Blake smiles and walks over to him, pressing a kiss to his cheek and lacing their fingers together. "Hi, babe," he says, letting Nico lead them over to the table.
He liked spending time with the other man. He enjoyed his company and loved how he felt when he was with him. It was one of the first times he could say he could see himself with someone for a long time, not just a short season.
"How'd your day go?"

He settles in kittycorner to Blake, wanting to be close to him. Maybe he's crazy given how much he's moved on time and again but he truly does like the idea of being here with Blake and seeing what comes of it. Not just his car and all he's learning. Just about being here with the other man in his life.
"It's been good. Actually looking for a bit of a long term place to stay and settle in for a while."
He hasn't brought it up before, but not seems as good a time as any to bring it up.

He'd been a bit of a player... okay more than a bit of a player himself over the years and yet, Nico was someone that Blake didn't want to let go. There was a small little voice in the back of his head that had been concerned that soon Nico would get bored and take off again to some other exotic location despite them working on a car for him.
To hear him say he's looking for a long-term place... well, it makes Blake slowly grin.
"You are? So you'll still be around so we can finish that car of yours?" Not to mention them.

Nico has never settled down anywhere. Not since he was a child. Once his parents let him travel, he had. With them. With nannies. Then as a teen and beyond, by himself. For the first time he wants to maybe have a place... and then maybe travel not alone as he has in so long.
"Yeah, I'm thinking I've found a place where I'd like to spend some time. Someplace I can come back to when I do travel... and maybe not always do that alone either," he points out, softly taking Blake's hand and running his thumb over the back of his hand.
