Startled, he almost dropped the hat he was holding in hand.
“There’s nothing wrong with it! It just doesn’t… Suit me..” Blue eyes cast a glance towards the red vest laying on one of the chairs, waiting to be put on. “A-And besides, it’s a- a pitch for a show! Not some r-romantic d-date.”
Christian chuckled nervously before adding, “the fact that the pitch is being brought to a-.. a b-beautiful woman doesn’t count.” He was way over his head.
Blaine fumbled to catch the hat but Christian managed to hang onto it and saved the day! There was no way they could afford to replace it. Considering it was a prop for said show they were pitching tonight? Crushing it on the floor would have been a disaster.
Christian was right. The entire costume suit screamed everything that they were against but! “Necessary evil, Christian! Think of it as fitting in just so we can stand out in the long run??”
His arm jutted out, hand gesturing towards the entire ensemble they were forcing him to wear just to have their voices heard. He was their only hope! “They won’t give you a second glace without it. Come on? You can do this! We’ll..um..be there? Just, you know, in the background!”
