Divided by four

Gabe wasn't sure why Sebastian was so determined for this double date to happen. Sure, he had told him a bit about Bill when they had met before but it wasn't like Sebastian could have found out very much about Bill from that. He supposed the man was just curious.

Gabe had told William about the date a couple of days back and was glad that the boy had agreed to come, he had been scared that he'd flat out say no but after some moments of hesitation Bill had said yes. He wasn't sure if William would get on with August and Sebastian, seen as he was usually shy around new people, but he figured they would see. He gave Bill's hand a little squeeze as they walked, he turned his head to look back at the boy before slowing down a small bit. Bill walked a tad slower than Gabe usually, but he wasn't even walking at half the speed of his normal pace at the moment. "Everything okay, mi palomita?"

The 'Sweetheart's Café' was in sight by now. Who even named this place? Although he had to admit that even though it had a cheesy name it did look quite pretty. It looked small and cosy making it seem romantic at least from the outside, which he supposed was the whole idea after all. He wondered what it was like inside.

Gabe could make out Sebastian's figure, or at least he was thought it was Sebastian, but he couldn't spot August. Gabe wondered if Sebastian had spotted them, if he had he didn't show it. The man was rigid as could be. Perhaps it was someone else... the person that Gabe was looking at was dressed extremely fancy for a little café.

"Nervous, querida?" Gabe asked William with a smile, glancing down at his boyfriend. The boy hadn't said much during the walk, Bill was a quiet person anyway so Gabe wasn't overly worried about it at the moment, but he usually said more around Gabriel than anyone else. "There's no need to be, voy a estar aquí." Gabe knew that all Bill needed was a little bit of encouragement and reassurance and he should be okay.

"I think that guy in the doorway could be Sebastian," Gabe told Bill after a minute of waiting to see if the man showed any signs of recognising them. "But I can't tell from here," he squinted a little bit. He decided he might as well call out to the figure, it couldn't hurt. "Yo Sebastian, dude is that you?" As the man looked over at them Gabe pressed a quick kiss to Bill's forehead, realising there wasn't much time to reassure him. "You're gonna be alright, aren't you hermosa? You look lovely by the way."

<div align=center>At least it's a nice day. William frowned softly, reluctant to walk any faster than his feet were already taking him. He didn't want to go and sit inside, he didn't even want to be here much. We don't have any couple friends! His brow creased as his eyes flickered up to look at the older boy, what if I don't want any couple friends? He let out a small, irritated little huff. He snapped back into the present as Gabriel spoke again, a little smile spreading across his effeminate features. "Y... Yeah." He replied softly, "I think so." He affirmed, with a little nod.

He slowed up a little further when a figure came into view, clinging to Gabriel's arm and shuffling a few inches behind his back. He shook his head when asked if he was nervous, clinging just that little bit tighter and pressing himself against his boyfriend. His brow furrowed just a tad, and his head moved to Gabriel's shoulder. "Maybe just a little nervous." He murmured, voice muffled into the fabric of the older boy's jacket.

He looked up as Gabe pointed Sebastian out, he was dressed in a manner suited for a fancy restaurant rather than a little cafe. Bill almost felt a little under dressed looking at him, then down at his own worn, olive sweater. It was warm, and comfortable though, and it smelled like home. His feet dragged as they got closer, reluctant to move. You look lovely by the way. That elicited a giggle from the younger boy, and turned his cheeks a dark pink. "You're sweet."</div>

He had been sighing dramatically ever since he had to leave his dorm. August did not like going outside for any reason, especially if it was to meet some strange couple that he would probably end up disliking anyway. Gisa had practically begged him to tag along, and he couldn't very well resist her for that.
A plain red shirt was paired black slacks, and his hair was lazily tousled with water, to at least make it seem like he cared a little about his appearance.

As he walked to the cafe with his faithful cat in tow, August couldn't help but throw a longing glance back over his shoulder at where his dorm was. He could probably get away with never showing up, right? Before he could fully plan out the idea of running back to his dorm and avoiding everyone forever, he was only a couple feet away from that cafe Sebastian had told him to go to. Suddenly, he couldn't help but wonder who Gabe's date would be. He had quickly forgotten the name that he had provided that day, and couldn't seem to recall it.

Rounding the corner, August stopped short as he almost stepped right into the pile of waiting men. "Oh, I — Sorry." Having the good grace to at least look ashamed of himself for being late, his hand dropped at his side, fingers wriggling until a cat pushed her head into them. Quirking a greeting smile at Sebastian, August turned to face the other couple, and his face lit up when he caught sight of Bill. "It's you, hi. " August lifted his chin at the cafe, eager to get this outing past him. "Shall we?"

Gabe wasn't surprised when William admitted that he was a little nervous, it wasn't out of character for him at all and he had been showing signs of nervousness on the way to the café as well. He was glad to see that his little bits of reassurance were helping William to move along and the boy hadn't stopped at any point and refused to keep going, so everything was going to go alright.

As they approached the doorway Gabe had murmured a couple more sweet things to William, although he'd denied that he was sweet. It wasn't more than five seconds later when they were face to face with Sebastian. "Hey man," Gabe nodded, up close he knew it was definitely Sebastian. "How've things been?" He looked around the café, there were a few couples about, though he didn't spot anyone on double dates. Perhaps it wasn't a common thing.

"Where's August?" Gabe asked suddenly, realising that the other man wasn't here yet. Talk about perfect timing, Gabe. The question had barely left his mouth when the other man appeared. The man had nearly piled into the three of them, Gabe laughed softly.

Gabe had his arm wrapped around Bill, keeping him close, almost as if he was protecting him. "Bill, this is Sebastian and August," Gabe introduced everyone by name. "And guys, this is my gorgeous boyfriend William. " Gabe smiled at Bill, hoping he was doing okay now, he hadn't said anything since they'd bumped into August and Sebastian but he was hoping the boy would feel comfortable around them soon enough. "You're doing fine," Gabe whispered into the boy's ear.

"You found her then," Gabe nodded towards Gisa, remembering the last time he'd seen August and Sebastian they'd had to dash off to look for her. He didn't know how they were going to manage with her in the café though, especially when the waiter had just come over to tell them off.

<div align=center>William was alright for now, at least the promise of sweets was keeping him happy. He'd been promised cake by Gabriel, and there was absolutely nothing William liked more than tea and cake. He leaned into Gabe for a moment, nuzzling him gently, "I'd like cake soon."

William's face lit up as a familiar friend came into view, and his excitement only grew when he saw that padding alongside the boy was the cheetah. He remembered that her name was Gisa. She was stunning, with a pretty coat and a pair of bright eyes that reminded Bill of a pretty sort of gem. Leaving Gabriel's side, he pounced forward and practically threw himself at August, wrapping his arms around the boy's waist and pulling him close for a moment. August was a couple of inches taller than William, a nice height to be. Good for cuddling. When he pulled away, his attention was focused down to the cheetah. He was so excited about Gisa he more or less completely forgot to answer Sebastian.

William crouched to the animal's level, staring at her for a moment before cautiously holding a hand out to her. "Can I pet you?" He asked, "is that okay? You're very pretty." He tilted his head, as if expecting an answer from the cat.

He frowned as Sebastian mentioned that they might not allow her into the cafe. Would you mind if I Seduced him into helping us? The boy lifted an eyebrow. Seduction? He didn't like the idea of doing that, though he supposed what he could do was pretty similar. He had a fleeting thought, and he wondered if August and Sebastian's relationship was completely real or not... "There won't be any need for that." William returned, it was directed at Sebastian, this time. "You do let animals in," he told the waiter, "you let werewolves and shapeshifters in, so you should let Gisa in too." He frowned at the man, "I walked by the other day and there was some weird bird-cat thing sat at the table. At the table! If you allow that. You allow her in too."</div>

Caught off guard, August wrapped his arms around the airbourne William, his arms squeezing the boy into an amused hug. Letting go as the other drew away, August watched him greet Gisa with a crooked grin. She appeared to really like William, shoving her head into his outstretched hand. She didn't often purr at people, and it came out as a rusted grating sound. August hadn't heard her purr in such a long time, he almost became concerned for his pet. She seemed to be rather happy, though, the happiest she'd ever been around a stranger.
August shrugged at Sebastian, not much caring whether or not the cafe would allow Gisa in or not. They'd find a way to convince them, they always did.

"Gisa won't cause any harm, will you?" Nodding down at Gisa, she took her cue to stretch her mouth open in a grin, her lips peeling back to reveal her yellowed canines. August's favourite hobby was asking Gisa to smile at strangers, especially because her smile was about the most intimidating thing about her. The waiter bobbed nervously in his place and ducked back into whence he came. "Easy as that. This booth'll work, right?" Pointing at a quiet little corner, August liked this one the best. At least here Gisa wouldn't be too much in the way of anyone. It was too bad she was too large to fit into a chair, or else he'd pull one up for her.

Gabe would stick to his promise, he wasn't one to break his word. "When we sit down I'll order you some, I promise," he nodded, "any kind you like." Provided the kind Bill wanted was on the café's menu of course. He was sure there'd be something that would satisfy William anyway.

Gabe hadn't realised that William and August knew each other. He didn't think Sebastian had known about it either from the look on the man's face. "Oh hey you guys met before?" Gabe asked suddenly, feeling a little stupid having after introduced them to each other, when they clearly knew who the other person was.

He was glad that Sebastian hadn't had to end up manipulating the poor waiter and that William had simply been able to talk the man into letting the cheetah in.

Gabe didn't know why but he didn't feel like Sebastian should manipulate everyone he could. Suddenly Gabe wondered if the man had ever manipulated him, don't be silly you haven't been around him long enough for him to do that. But there was always the possibility of it happening.

"What looks good, Guillermo?" Gabe asked referring to the menu. He'd decided he'd just have some coffee. "And what are you guys gonna have?" He looked across the table at August and Sebastian.
