"Heh," Eugene chuckled, recalling that day at the bar. "Honestly, I almost freaked out when you called me 'Gin' back then. I thought you actually knew my real name and were about to scam me or something."
"Shouldn't I avoid using it if I actually wanted to scam you?" Arthur tilted his head.
"Oh, you're right!"
They laughed and shook their head. It was all tension last night, but once the truth--even if it was only a half one--came out, it was easy to get rid of the irritation. They made mistakes to each other, so all they had to do was apologize to each other. They were adult, after all.
As they were also of the same age, it was easy for them to connect, just like back then. After his pregnancy, Eugene stopped communicating with almost all of his friends. Sophie became his only friend, but they barely shared similar interests, so he missed talking to a like-minded acquaintance.
Even if the guy had a pretty privileged background.
