Eddie was strangely nervous as they stepped through the doors of Kagura, wearing a blazer that actually fit and shoes that weren't sneakers. They'd been adults, more or less, for a long time now, but moments like this, it struck him that he'd been in an actual, grownup relationship for ages now. Kids his age had boyfriends and girlfriends. He had a partner, even if he still cringed at the thought of using that word.

And now, they were dressed up for a fancy dinner on Christmas Eve, paid for with money they'd earned themselves.

"Should we get our table? I think we're a little early," he said, looking at his watch.
