"We're Still Friends, Right?" 

Arcturus had to have to start solidifying his group of male friends because he's going to eventually have a bachelor party. It would be weird for him to have a bachelor party alone but looking through his cell phone contact list, it might actually be less weird than inviting the guys he knows.

The first male name in his contact list was Trigger Broke. Slide Man. Arcturus was pretty good friends with him but they hadn't seen each other since the Winter Festival and even then the friendship had been cooling off. Arcturus called him and invited him over for dinner.

Party? Someone's about to be disappointed.

When Trigger got to the house, he had parties on the brain. Finally realizing that this was going to be a one-on-one dinner, he began to look uncomfortable. Arcturus asked him inside and started to make some burgs. Trigger wouldn't take his outerwear off and was starting to sweat a little. What was he trying to hide?

Once dinner was served, Arcturus told Trigger to just relax a little bit and "take your coat off or something, you look like you're dying". Trigger did just that, only to reveal a full tuxedo. Arcturus kinda laughed a little. "What were you expecting to happen here tonight, dude?" Here was Arcturus eating a burger in an unbuttoned onesie with his chest hair hanging out and Trigger was dressed like he was going to a ball. What did Arcturus tell Trigger in that phone invitation to make him judge the situation so incorrectly?

Look at the fear in Trigger's eyes.
He wore blue slippers though. To balance out dressy with causal.

Trigger ate quickly and then ran out of the house in embarrassment. I followed him as he ran across the backyard and into a house almost directly behind Arcturus's. Hmm. Interesting. I did not know they were neighbors. Trigger must have moved out of the family trailer park. Good for him.

"Don't look back, Trig... Is he following me?"

A message popped up on my screen:
Few individuals have experienced an outing so excellent, so delightful, so titillating as the one just concluded.
Whoa, what? But I saw the whole thing. And it was actually really awkward.
