It’s a BAD day. The worst of bad days he’s had in a long time && he’s positively GLOWERING as he walks home, scarf wrapped tightly around reddening cheeks that were so easily nipped by New York’s Fall wind. Never mind how l o n g it took him to order his coffee - then he burnt his tongue on it. Only halfway home did he finally take a sip so the beverage could be cooled by the Autumn air.
❝ They didn’t even get my order right !!!! I hate caramel s o m u c h ---- ❞
This is followed by an almost unintelligible string of curse words, then a swift, enraged hurling of his coffee cup at the ground. Only as it leaves the confinement of his gloved hand does Rod realize the cup does not hit the ground, but a pair of stranger’s feet. The lid pops off the the styrofoam cup & manages to splash the hot coffee all over the stranger !! NICE !!!
& Rod is on the verge of screaming.

new kid ? :
“ The city. That’s actually why I’m here — We’re looking for apartments in this area. “
Which … True , there could certainly be nicer places to reside , but the cost of living all the way out here was far cheaper than in any of those apartments. Besides , what would any of that matter once she got to fully experience living in New York City of all places? Despite the bad that would apparently come with the good.
“ Well … It sounds as if you have some interesting … Characters around here. “ That was a polite way of putting it.
❝ CLEARLY. But we have good people, too -- in this neighborhood, at least. && If you REALLY need an apartment you can talk to the superintendent. One apartment’s been for rent since the couple upstairs moved away, so even if you’re here for a short period of time it would be nice. ❞

Rod is totally embarrassed by the idea of dating Ricky. At first it’s AMAZING because omg this guy looks like my best friend who I’ve been pining over but then he realizes they don’t have the same connection as him and Nicky at all. To be honest, he probably would’ve liked to date someone who didn’t look like his best friend.
It weirds him out.

not ricky:
@homowhctever
“ Oh, hey, Rod. I’ve been meaning to ask- How’s Ricky been treatin’ ya? ”
They’d hardly spoken all evening, and Nicky just blurted out the first thing on his mind. He’d been genuinely curious as to what his mysterious internet doppelganger was like. He certainly wasn’t jealous of either of them in any way. Sure, Rod hadn’t had as much time to spend with him anymore, but that wasn’t as important as him being happy, and being with someone who loved him. And Nicky was totally content with their relationship. Why wouldn’t he be? They were friends, best friends, and it was his job as Rod’s 100% heterosexual wingman to help him with his relationship.
❝ What? ❞
That came out sharper than he meant it to. Of course -- that wasn’t the first thing he’d expected Nicky to ask, & it was a bit of a soft subject. He himself was still getting used to dating a MAN - && accepting himself at all. It was even stranger that said man looked nearly identical to his best friend who he’d been dodging feelings for for the longest time.
❝ We’re--- we’re GOOD. He’s good, I’m fine - I’m happy, I mean. ❞ Ahem. ❝ Why do you ask? ❞

great first impressions:
“What are you talking about? New York is GREAT!” Granted, he’d only been there a few months, but Connor was having a GRAND time in New York City. As a tiny theatrical child, he’d always wanted to go, and now there he was, living out his dreams as a missionary in the greatest city in the world.
❝ Great ? HA! ( tourists. ) New York is a polluted hellscape - albeit with good musicals. We REALLY have nothing to offer the world except that & a green statue. ❞
Nice optimism, Rod.
❝ But, err-- to each his own. ❞

NICKY !! :
Oh, boy. Nicky could already tell that Rod had been overthinking things. That never ended well. He emerged from their shared bedroom, where he had been sound asleep until his friend got home.
“ Oh, uh, sure, Rod. What’s on your mind, buddy? ”
Rod throws himself down into his own armchair -- the neater of the two, the one with the blue blanket folded neatly over the back && pillows in EXACT order. He removes the wire-rimmed glasses perched precariously on the bridge of his nose for a moment to knead the spot with thin fingers, then puts them right back into place. He kicks up one foot & crosses his legs delicately, eyeing his friend with a sort of hesitant fear that only came when he was making big decisions like this.
❝ Well---- I got a raise at work today. It’s nice, of course, but it got me thinking. Do you remember when we moved onto Avenue Q? Of course we had to move here because we were fresh out of college and I was an intern without a job. && I’ve been thinking lately---- what’s keeping me here? Banking’s going well for me c l e a r l y and I have OPPORTUNITIES now. I could live in a real apartment complex in the NICE part of New York City, a penthouse, even. One with a view of the lights instead of some brick walls and a dumpster that takes up too much space. So, errr, yes. That’s about it. But I want to know what you think, Nicky. ❞
