Man with a tophat x man with no tophat

chapter two: "Step one on how to be a dumbass."

(Yes, very long title because I find it funny. My friend drew the picture above, very gay indeed... I don'tknow anymore.)

Ding
Charles zoned out when his phone dinged so of course he got scared.
Charles opened his phone and looked at the text.
'Morning'
"I can tell Tony is single." Charles laughed.
Charles asked Tony if he wanted to hang out... he said yes.
Charles jumped out of bed and immediately got ready for the day.

.

Charles was cooking breakfast but then he forgot about it... he burnt his eggs.
"Step one on how to be a dumbass." Charles groaned as he cleaned the pan.

They met up at the Café and the barista was eyeing Charles like a hawk.
"Do you know her?" Tony asked pointing at the barista.
"Oh her? Yeah I know her, Jasmine is my best friend." Charles smiled.
"Once I brought my little sister here and she called Jasmine messy bun lady." Tony laughed.
Charles covered his mouth hoping to hold in laughter... it worked.
"So, what is something you really want to do but never did?" Charles asked.
"I always wanted to go skydiving but I don't have the time to since I'm always busy." Tony explained.
"Well, maybe tomorrow we could do that." Charles smiled.
"Really?"
"Only if you want."
Tony thought for a bit then he agreed.

"I had a nice time talking with you." Tony smiled.
"Same. I was actually wondering if you would like to see a movie with me tonight." Charles scratched the back of his neck.
"Sure. What time?" Tony asked.
"Seven." (I just realized Charles' name has seven letters) Charles shrugged.
"Alright... where?" Tony asked.
"The movie theater?" Charles tilted his head to the side.
"Right, I forgot that place exists." Tony laughed.
"Heh. Well, we better get going." Charles stood up.
"Alright." Tony stood up.

6:30.
Charles finished getting ready.
As he was driving he was regretting his choices when he decided to take Tony sky diving.
Charles didn't want to disappoint Tony so he took a deep breath and tried to forget it.

☆

Charles found Tony with a teenage girl.
"Hey Charles, this is my sister... she followed me here." Tony sighed.
"Gotta make sure you ain't seeing some creep." The girl crossed her arms.
"Nice to know." Charles stuck his hands in his pockets.
Tony patted his pockets... then his expression changed.
"Shit, shit, shit. I left my wallet at home." Tony groaned.
"Language." Charles said simply, "I'll pay for us."
"Thanks-" "No need, I'll pay for me and Tony." Tony's sister cut him off.
Tony smacked her in the head before saying "Step one on how to be a dumbass."
"Ouch. Anyways, my name is Cary." Cary stuck out her hand.
Charles shook her hand.

☆

The movie ended and they went back home.
Charles barely slept.

Up in the air.
Charles was terrified but he hid it because Tony was right next to him.
Charles wanted to make Tony happy... Tony was excited... very excited... I'm gonna stop with the dot dot dot now.
"Have you done this before?" Tony asked.
"No." Charles admitted.
"Welp, this will be fun either way." Tony smiled.

Long story short, Charles was terrified and Tony knew it.
