“Oooh, I want one..” He didn’t exactly know how to be formal in a place like this so he flagged the bartender and tried to order one of these negroni things for himself. Mostly, the bartender looked tired. They’d probably been dealing with this all night. But Lam couldn’t help it– some cool dude had bought him a whiskey at another place and now he had definitely passed the general buzz. Which also meant that his consideration of money went out the window a bit as well. “Treat yo’self,” he said to Leif with a determined huff as he sat himself down.[break][break]
He had tried to set aside some money for this, of course. Sober him could be thanked for that. It had come from a place of slight desperation and determination to reconnect with his little brother. So that was why he had invited him out, and to a place that Leif would like, more than Lam. Because Lam honestly just would’ve gone to the Ritual because it was near their place.[break][break]
But there was a regret that had kerneled and bloomed in him since Leif had turned up at his door. The fact that Lam had been so swept up in what he was doing, he hadn’t really taken the time to keep as close an eye on his little brother made him feel more responsible for the disconnect that had grown between them. Of course, that regret existed longer than this year, and it couldn’t be helped that their individual tastes were different, but all the same…Lam did miss Leif, and he felt to blame for letting his frustration and self-consciousness get in the way of keeping the tether strong.[break][break]
Leif used to look up to him. He didn’t really feel like someone worthy of being looked up to anymore. What did he have to show for it so far? He couldn’t sell his work, he’d only just barely moved from intern to assistant at the art gallery. It wasn’t like he was anyone special. So no wonder Leif hadn’t wanted much to do with him. Still, it pained Lam to know he’d gone through something horrible and he hadn’t been there to help.[break][break]
All those heavy thoughts had spurred this outing, but they were, fortunately, far away from his mind at present. They weren’t getting in the way for now. He didn’t even feel that prickle of apprehension when Leif judged his casual clothing. “Nope! Like I said…treat yo’self.” (He’d cry about his bank account tomorrow.)[break][break]
“Yessssss..” he snapped the pic and sent it off, but stared down at the haphazard and slightly blurry photo for a moment longer, lopsided smile on his face. Leif was definitely humoring him, but Lam didn’t care. He was happy to have it.
