"Oh my, I apologize for my carelessness."
The guy smiled as he said it, casually patting Anthony's shoulder like nothing had happened.
Blake raised an eyebrow, almost impressed.
He looked charming.
That was the first word that came to mind, annoyingly enough.
Platinum hair, almost shining under the lights. Pale blue eyes. Quite tall. Well-built, but not in an obvious way.
Just… naturally put together.
'…wasn't this supposed to be a sci-fi?'
Blake stared at him for a second longer before instinctively glancing at Anthony.
Then, he froze. Not out of shock, more like out of relief, since Anthony didn't look impressed at all.
Sure, he still had that usual awkwardness, that slight stiffness in his posture, but there was no wide-eyed admiration, no flustered reaction, nothing.
Blake exhaled quietly.
'…thank goodness.'
He didn't even know why that mattered.
It just did, because there was something about the guy felt off, just way too familiar.
