"I will be." Adam smiled slightly
(Sorry my responses are so short, I'm at rehearsal)
"So. Um. This is a nice place."
"Yeah." Adam was suddenly very interested in a small dent in the wall.
"Well, right now I'm volunteering at a community theatre, the little kids are doing 101 Dalmations and I help with keeping the kids under control. It's tech week for them right now, so that takes up most of my time. Other than that, I mostly just hang out with my friends and go to work."
Adam grinned, "Absolutely! Sure, they can be absolute monsters, but they're also really sweet, and they say the funniest things. The youngest one there is only around four, and she's absolutely adorable"
"Fancy." He sat there in awkward silence for a bit
Adam was saved from the awkwardness of the situation by the waitress returning with their drinks. "Thanks," he said
"Oh, shoot-" Adam grabbed a menu. "I think I need a minute"
Adam scanned the menu, trying to decide what he wanted to get.
"What's good here?"
"Hmmm…" He looked through the menu for a few more seconds before saying "The pasta looks really good… I think I'll get the pesto."
Adam set his menu down, and was quiet for a few moments.
"Sorry I'm being so awkward, I've never really done this before…"
"Well, that automatically makes me feel way less awkward." Adam smiled slightly
"Yeah, definitely. There's not as much pressure." He frowned. "Not like there really was any before- I've just never been on an official sit-down-at-a-restaurant date."
"I don't know, I'm mostly just nervous. Which is really weird, cause we've literally already gone out, so…" He shrugged
