Perth: 7:45 is great. Meet you there :].
Blue: great! Bye :).

Perth got in a cab, as soon as he left the house. He felt good he was on time since he didn't want to leave Blue waiting for him. It wouldn't be fair to him since he was the one to invite Perth too. The jean jacket he was wearing helped him fight the chilly evening.
He got off the cab and handed the driver 20£, leaving the change. He put his hands in his pocket and walked in front of the cinema. As soon as he got closer to the front door he saw Blue already smiling at him.
The older boy seemed to have had the same thought wearing a jean jacket, a white shirt underneath it with black jeans and white sneakers. Blue looked good.
When Perth went to shake his hand, Blue shook his head in disapproval jokingly and gave him a half hug with his right arm.
"Good evening. How was your day?" The pub owner asked him stepping out of the hug.
"Good, thanks. I'm a bit tired cause we have an important meeting after tomorrow, so I'm doing anything I can to leave a good impression." Perth smiled pressing his lips.
"Important meeting?" Blue asked raising his brow and motioning with his hand to get in.
"Very. Hope everything goes well." The boy sighed walking in front of Blue.
The taller lad gave him a pat on the shoulder. "I'm sure it will. Clear your mind. It helps, the longer you think about the meeting, the more you're gonna stress about it."
"I'm gonna try," Perth answered and started walking to the queue of people for the tickets when Blue's hand on his shoulder stopped him.
"I already got them," The pub owner beamed at him, getting the ticket's out of his pocket and showing them to Perth. "Let's get something to eat."
Perth smiled. "Since you paid for the tix, I'm going to buy the food." The younger boy winked and started walking again.
"But I invited you, let me get it" Blue said, but Perth shook his head in disapproval. "You forget that this isn't a date Blue. Besides, two popcorn's and two cokes, won't do that much of a damage to my wallet."
The pub owner chuckled. "Oh, cocky much?"
Perth turned to him smiling then put his index finger with his thumb close, "A little."
After getting their food, Blue and Perth went to the waiting area, waiting for the time the movie would start.
"Ugh, I hope there aren't going to be a lot of commercials. They tend to like start the movie a half of hour late." Perth pursed his lips as they started entering their designated hall.
Blue hummed in approval. "The cinema is packed though. Didn't think there would be these many people." The brown-eyed lad said looking around the hall for their seats. Perth nodded and then Blue pointed at the seats after he found them. Luckily they weren't in the front rows.
The pair made small talk and ate half of their popcorn till the movie started. Perth hadn't seen the first one, but Blue had been patiently explaining the overall plot to him.
They joked on scenes with the gun shooting, about how in movies the bullet's never seemed to end, and the way they were fighting without ever feeling tired.
"Like, I feel like I've run a 4-mile road after two punches. How they manage to go on and on, it's beyond me." Perth said and Blue giggled.
"True. Have you ever been in a fight?" The pub owner whispered without moving his eyes from the movie.
