The Power of 3 | Salbeckstián

Featuring: Sebastián Castillo De Leon, Rebecca Anderson & Salvador Quiroz; mentions of Xavier Mitchell, Leo Castillo De Leon and a few others sprinkled here and there Location: Winter Gala fundraiser Notes: One happening at the fundraiser, during & after the date auction! @castillodeleon @rebecca-anderson

SALVADOR

Ever since arriving with Rebecca, Salvador had done his share of mingling around the venue and even dabbled in a few of the casino games before making his way to where the date auction would be taking place. There looked to be a decent number of people in the audience and, upon entering the space, an attendant asked if he would be bidding or not. He gave a simple, "Yes," and was handed a paddle with a number on it. Now seated at a small, round table, his eyes were mostly on the stage but he'd swept the room again until he found Rebecca and waited for her to notice before giving her a soft, affectionate and knowing smile.

REBECCA

Rebecca had a marvellous time at the fundraiser. She thought the food was the highlight, and there were plenty of people to schmooze with as she stood next to her partner while he played table games. They walked into the date auction separately, and she took a paddle with a ‘thank you’ to the attendant. She purposely sat away from Salvador, though close enough so they could exchange looks. They both agreed that this could be a fun way to find another partner.

SEBASTIÁN

Sebastián was starting to feel more comfortable about this whole thing. His conversation with Celeste along with Leo’s encouragement was helpful. He didn’t think his son would be okay with him dating again but apparently this made his day. He was behind the curtain on the built stage, adjusting his watch several times over and over just until he heard the last bid on the woman before him. $3,000! Amazing. He didn’t think his bidding would be that high but he hoped it would make some sort of a dent with the fundraiser. Once Xavier wrapped up the bidding he began with his introduction. Now Seb felt even more nervous. He cleared his throat right before the curtains went up, not exactly knowing what to do with his hands. He decided it’d be best to just okay it cool. Up went the curtain and he flashed the audience a giant smile. Several of his friends were there so he could hear the cheers. The lights were intense and he couldn’t actually find anyone but he’d manage. “And now we have everyone’s favorite daddy! Our favorite Guatemalan, Sebastian!! Aka Seb. Seb enjoys reading , a good Latino restaurant, cooking, and spending time with family and friends. Seb is a graduate of UCLA, top honors ya little nerd! He can play the piano and guitar, has the voice of an angel and is the star , producer and Director of the Morning Zoo! Give it up for our very own Sebby! You know the rules, the bidding starts at $200! So we have a bid?” This was it. Sebastian continued smiling and strut on the stage hoping this would continue being this painless. He waited for the first bid and glanced over to Xavier who flashed him an encouraging wink. “$300!” A male’s voice was heard and then “$400!” A woman’s voice was heard. Well look at that !!

SALVADOR

Salvador watched the bidding start and steadily grow for a woman on the stage whom, while attractive to be sure, just didn't appeal to him. He'd let Rebecca know as much by giving a small shake of his head while leaving the paddle alone on the table. If Rebecca was interested in her, then she could pursue her but Salvador was content not to. After the woman's bidding ended at $3,000, Salvador watched the auction move on to the next prospect. His eyes fixed on center stage as the curtain rose, revealing a handsome man with a gorgeous head of hair. Salvador listened to the details Xavier shared. Sebastián. Or Seb. Salvador would end up calling him Sebastián if he had the pleasure. He was a dad who had a few similar interests and skills as himself. He worked in radio which, admittedly Salvador didn't listen to much of anymore. But maybe he would start again. He looked Rebecca's way while reaching on his table to reflect his paddle, and once he'd locked eyes with her, he was sure she'd know--before he gave a slight but determined smile, before his subtle nod--that he was certainly interested in Sebastián.

REBECCA

As the bidding began, the first woman up was attractive enough, but Rebecca thought Sal made the right choice to not go for her. She just seemed too… good to accept what they were offering. Too straight as well. However when Xavier introduced the next man, Sebastián, well… She and Sal locked eyes and grabbed her paddle. How could they not at least try? He was absolutely gorgeous. Rebecca had seen him walking around before the auction, talking to Xavier. She upped the ante. “$1,000,” she called out, knowing money wasn’t a factor.

SEBASTIÁN

Sebastián couldn’t help but chuckle at the mini war that had been started and it seemed light hearted enough but seconds after the second bidding, he heard a woman’s voice come in with a $1,000 bid and he heard the soft gasps in the audience. He smiled, still unable to see the audience and waved to no one in particular when Xavier chimed in. “Whoaaa! Wehave $1,000 for Seb , do we have $1200?” Seb smiled again, thinking there was no way it’d go higher than that but he continued encouraging the audience to continue bidding. He could see from the corner of the stage how much Leo was enjoying this.

SALVADOR

Keeping his smile, Salvador returned his gaze to the stage, hoping to himself that Sebastián would be open to joining him and Rebecca. He heard her raise up the bidding and the glint in his eyes was amusement from hearing Rebecca do so. He was prepared to take the $1200 offer but someone else in the room raised their paddle and called out the proposed number. Salvador cut his eyes in the direction of the person and subtly clenched his jaw while his competitive streak was stirred. He soon followed by matching his girlfriend’s raised amount, lifting his paddle and saying, "$2200." He was hardly concerned about the money but he did believe that Sebastian should be earned for more than the first date had gone--if for no other reason than he and Rebecca wanted him.

REBECCA

Rebecca chuckled to herself as her partner clearly got so annoyed with the person who called $1,200 that he bid $2,200. That other person was also determined to go on a date with Sebastián and bid $2,500. Rebecca quirked an eyebrow and added another thousand. “$3,500!” If that basic woman who went first could be bought for $3,000, surely the gorgeous man on stage was worth more.

SEBASTIÁN

And now a new war had started and Sebastián was amused and flabbergasted at the same time. “Yeah dad!” Leo whispered from the side of the stage and he could help but crack up. His giddiness was very evident and he wished he could catch a glimpse of the man and woman That kept upping the bid by a lot. It didn’t matter. He was sure at this point one of them would end up winning and he would be exciting to find out. $3500!! Holy cow!” Xavier called Seb over. “It’s at this point that we have a little pep talk. Anything you want to say?” Sebastián walked over to his friend and grinned before speaking into the microphone. “All is fair in love and war. May the best person win. Hope you love arepas!” He chuckled and Xavier did too. “Now I want an arepa. Great. Do we have $3600?”

SALVADOR

Drawing in a deep breath, Salvador watched the bidding go up. Happy as he was for the scholarships and for Sebastián, he wanted him and Rebecca to be victorious. He watched Sebastián step up to the mic at Xavier's prompting and smiled, not only enjoying what he saw but the sound of the voice that came from Sebastián. Deciding to tempt the outside bidder, Salvador raised his paddle and called out, "$5000!"

REBECCA

Rebecca bit down on her lip for a moment when Sebastián spoke. He had a very attractive voice, too. Her partner bid five grand, and she waited a few seconds to see if the other bidder would try to go higher. When that didn’t happen, she didn’t attempt to bid more. There was no need to fight Salvador for their (hopefully) shared prize.

SEBASTIÁN

“$5,000 going once…twice?” Xavier grinned and pointed out to the audience. “Sold to bidder number 96 for $5,000!” The whole crowd almost unison gasped and Seb was completely speechless. Who had that kind of money? Who was this guy? Heck, who was the woman trying to outbid everyone? He was so curious b it also grateful that he was the last date to be auctioned off. “Thank you so much for joining us tonight we still have an hour left so please purchase some raffle tickets and enjoy your casino night. Thank you to everyone who participated!” Bidder number 96 sounded so familiar to Xavier but he couldn’t understand why. And when he looked at his sheet quickly, he caught Sal’s name and he knew Becks was in the audience too. Color him confused. “Everyone please meet your dates in the main foyer for drinks and introductions ! Have fun!” He patted Seb’s back and let him go find his date once the curtains fell. Seb was elated. He couldn’t believe someone would have bid so much on him and with such determination. He was more than excited to meet this mystery man so he made his way over to the main room and looked around for number 96, hoping they’d show up soon. His nerves were already getting the best of him but he remembered Celeste’s words. He was going to be himself.

SALVADOR

Salvador knew the bidding for Sebastián would be over after he raised the stakes to $5k. He would be prepared to go for more if someone challenged him but he appreciated that neither he nor Rebecca were outbid. A slightly smug smile graced his lips when Xavier called his bidding number, declaring him the winner. Now came the more uncertain part. He had no idea if Sebastián was open to polyamorus relationships but there was only one way to find out. As the audience was encouraged to mingle and to the bid winners and their new dates to meet, Salvador pulled his phone from his suit jacket's inner pocket and texted Rebecca, "Here goes nothing." Once he sifted a short ways through the small crowd, he waited until Sebastián came into view. Again, he smiled and made his way to the other man. "It’s mice to meet you, Sebastián. I know my bid for a date with you was high, but I also hope it shows how much interest you drew."

SEBASTIÁN

Seb only had to wait a couple of minutes and a very handsome, well-dressed man approached to him. He hoped right away that this was the bidder in question and when he introduced himself, Seb was relieved and incredibly interested. “That was…well, I still have no words. Thank you for doing this. I cannot tell you how important this is for the kids, for me.” He then flashed the man a smile. “But your words are flattering considering you’re definitely one of the best looking guys here.” He had caught him saying his name perfectly and had to ask, “de donde eres?” Seb was really about to risk it all with a stranger though seeing he was at this event, he had to be safe enough. He had to be someone his friends knew. He reached for two champagne flutes and offered one to his future date. “Como te llamas?”

SALVADOR

"My pleasure. And if all goes well, yours too," Salvador replied, still smiling after doing so. He'd shown his teeth in said smile after Sebastián began speaking Spanish to him and without missing a beat, he replied, "Santiago, Chile. Pero he vivido en los Estados Unidos la mayor de mi vida. ¿Y tú?" Accepting the champagne with a quick "Thanks," to the passing server as well as Sebastián, he said, "Salvador Quiroz. Much gusto. Now, tell me, what sort of dates appeal to you?"

SEBASTIÁN

He couldn’t help but smirk at the man’s words. It did make it this whole situation easier knowing that his bidder was already packing on the flirtation. “I’m looking forward to finding out.” Seb set his flute on the small standing table as he listened to Salvador speak. “Oh very nice! I love Chile! Such rich culture. Soy de Guatemala city en Guatemala. Also have lived here all my life. Salvador. Lindo nombre.” He reached for the flute, trying to dust off some cobwebs and took a sip before responding, “A nice dinner. Maybe I can cook for you? Good, constructive conversation. A first date should be a good way to get to know one another. Some wine, music in the background. A dance or two. Do you dance?”

SALVADOR

"Ah Guatemala City. Such a beautiful place I've only had the pleasure of visiting once before." He heard the way Sebastián spoke his name and the smile on his lips caused his dimples to appear on his cheeks. As he listened, he sipped his own glass and then raised his brows, impressed, "A home-cooked meal on the first date? Impressive. And yes, I dance. Usually just for galas and weddings but I might make an exception if the date is good." He winked and then took another sip, asking, "Walk with me for a moment? I'd like to ask you something with a little bit more privacy."

SEBASTIÁN

“South America is gorgeous. There are so many beautiful counties.”Sebastián couldn’t help but it admire the smile on Salvador’s face. He really was so darn handsome. “Yeah, it’s something I like to do. Cooking for others.” He chuckled at the dance response and felt his cheeks get warmer at the wink. The man was definitely a charmer. Seb took another sip and decided to follow Salvador with his flute. “Sure.” He was already feeling comfortable and hopefully the question wouldn’t be some sort of a deal breaker or something. Like what if he collected earwax or something. No. That was Seb’s fear acting up again. He could do this. “Lead the way.”

SALVADOR

"I couldn't agree more." Salvador took in the cooking response with a nod, "That's very sweet. Unexpected to hear for a first date, but sweet nonetheless. Plus, there's that saying about the way to someone's heart." The idea seemed to endear him towards the other man for some reason, and it was something he might possibly be open to, with a couple of conditions. But they could talk about that later. Hopefully. For now, he led Sebastián from the foyer through a door in a far corner, leading to what appeared to be a music room. He sent a quick text to Rebecca to let her know where they were, and then he asked Sebastián, "Would you consider yourself an open-minded person when it comes to people, and your relationships with them?" He placed the phone back in his jacket pocket and looked to Sebastián again for his response.

SEBASTIÁN

He smiled, "Exactly that! " Sebastián followed Salvador to the music room and admired everything. When Salvador spoke again, Seb gave him attention, leaning against the grand piano. "I would say so. I'm pretty easygoing. There isn't anything I won't try at least once." He chuckled, curious as to why he had been asked that question. Seb placed his flute on a coaster that had already been placed on the piano. He wondered if this meant if Salvador had some big secret to share. If that was the case, he hoped that Salvador didn't feel obliged to. They were just meeting after all. "Why do you ask?"

SALVADOR

Salvador listened intently to Sebastián's response to his question. His answer was an important one as far as the actual date for the auction went. He sipped a little more champagne and licked his lips before giving a response. His fingers were idly tapping with nearly no sound as he said, "That's nice to know. And I like that you're open to try anything at least once." He made slow, casual pacing steps around the music room as he explained, "I asked though, because I wondered if you would consider something for our date, and maybe beyond that if there's interest." He stopped his pacing and stood beside a music stand, glancing at the tool and then Sebastián. "I have a girlfriend. And she and I would like to open our relationship to another person." His gaze became a little more pointed to the other man. "I know it's not common, or rather, not a societal norm since monogamy is commonplace, but she and I have discussed it. Extensively, as a matter of fact. And a polyamorus relationship is something we'd like. If you're not interested, I understand. I'm sure this wasn't what you had expected at all, and I completely respect that. But I'd like you to know that we're both interested in you."

SEBASTIÁN

Sebastián kept quiet as Salvador spoke. He took in everything he could about the man. He observed his body language and followed him with his eyes. Seb listened intently, secretly hoping this wouldn’t be some strange admission because he was pretty interested in Salvador already. When he stated that he hoped Seb would consider something for their date, he figured it wasn’t going to be anything that would break any deals. When Salvador caught Seb’s gaze, he smiled but the next admission puzzled him. He had a girlfriend ? In those mere seconds, so many thoughts poured over him and Seb was glad that Salvador didn’t wait too long to add the rest of his explanation. “I definitely didn’t expect that…” he chuckled and finished off this champagne. He didn’t want to be rude and keep him waiting. Seb knew of someone at the station in a polyamorous relationship and they were the happiest people he’s known. He wasn’t some snob or square. Seb had done a lot of “experimenting” in college, involving himself with more than one person but never anything serious. “I appreciate you telling me the background. Of you and your girlfriend having the extensive talks and all. I respect that. Also, makes this whole auction that much more special. “ it really did. Not one but two people were interested in him when Seb spent seven years just hiding from the radar. “Is she here? Your girlfriend? And if the first date is successful and we continue on dating to see how it goes, y’all are gonna have to help me navigate. To be respectful and ultimately adoring to you both.” He grinned. “Because I am very interested.”

SALVADOR

Salvador waited for Sebastián's reaction and response. Would he be upset? Outraged? Confused? Put off? Frankly, Salvador was internally bracing himself for any of those reactions. Outwardly he kept his cool and when Sebastián seemed...calm? About his and Rebecca's interest in a poly relationship, he was admittedly surprised. He lifted his brows a bit upon seeing the grin appear on Sebastián face and when he said he was very interested, Salvador smiled, letting relief wash over him inside. "She is, yes. Rebecca's the one who had upped the bidding into the thousands for you." As he explained this, he took his phone out to text her while explaining to Sebastián, "I'll let her know where we are so that the two of you can meet properly." He was a bit nervous but mostly, Salvador was excited and trying not to let himself get too hopeful. He would, of course, continue to love and enjoy his relationship with Rebecca and hope she felt the same way. And if it didn't work out with Sebastián, then they could keep carefully looking.

REBECCA

Rebecca grabbed another glass of champagne and tried talking to a couple of people while she waited to hear if things with Sebastián were successful or a bust. Every time her phone buzzed in her bag, she felt her heartbeat race. There were too many messages and emails from people who were not Salvador. When she finally got one, she finished the rest of her champagne and set down the flute before she sauntered into the other room and stood next to Salvador. “Hi, amor,” she grinned and pecked his cheek. Then she turned to Sebastián. “Hi, I’m Rebecca. It’s so nice to meet you. I know Sal already told you a little bit. Just know there is absolutely no pressure to go beyond a first date.” She was hopeful, but would understand if it ended up being too much for Sebastián. And no matter what, she was in this with Salvador for the long haul. She knew she’d spend the rest of her life with him.

SEBASTIÁN

Sebastián was extremely nervous but also excited for what was to come. He spent so much time not taking risks that this was a great way to try something new, something that could be good for him and for Salvador and his girlfriend. Nothing about this seemed transactional even if there was an auction involved. It felt pretty easy which hardly happened especially not when it came to dating. When Salvador mentioned that his girlfriend was in the mansion and that she had upped the bidding, he chuckled. He was amused by how cunning they were. “Tell me this isn’t the most amazing piano you’ve ever seen?” Seb tried to make some conversation as they waited and before Salvador could respond, a beautiful redhead appeared and Seb remembered seeing her in the crowd before the auction began. How could he not? He could not notice them both ? They were probably the most beautiful people he’s ever seen. Should he tell them that ? “Rebecca, hello.” He nodded, listening to her explanation and trying not to seem too distracted by how gorgeous they both were. He held up his hands and laughed softly. “No pressure. Honestly this is like a pleasant surprise. You’re both beautiful.” He smiled. “And you know the same goes to you. If you think I don’t fit the… vibe? No hurt feelings. I’ll just always remember the night two actual gods bid on me for a date.” Seb took Rebecca’s hand and kissed the top. “How long have you been together ? And what are you looking for in your third partner?”

SALVADOR

"It's beautiful. And I do adore beautiful things. People too," Salvador replied with an unabashed smirk. He turned and smiled a little more when Rebecca joined them in the music room and kissed his cheek. "Hello," he replied, resting a hand low around her waist. He gave her waist an affectionate squeeze and then lowered his hand away as he watched Sebastián and Rebecca's interaction with each other. "Thank you," he replied to Sebastián's compliment on his and Rebecca's looks. And then he chuckled when they were compared to gods. "That's very flattering, which might get you somewhere." He winked and then looked to Rebecca, "We've been together for five years now. And as for a partner, we would like to have someone whom we can share a complimentary relationship with, physically, emotionally, sexually, intellectually..." he trailed off with a shrug and then said, "Flexibility and clear boundaries will have to be established and honored--what we're all in agreement on, what any of us is uncomfortable with, an so-on. And communication will be important no matter what." He looked to Rebecca to add to the answer to Sebastián's question.

REBECCA

Rebecca grinned as Sebastián kissed her hand and complimented her. She was eating it up. “Hm, flattery will get you everywhere, gorgeous,” she said, looking him up and down. Rebecca wasn’t trying to be subtle. “Exactly what Sal said. We want someone who will add to our existing happiness together. We have a lot of love to share, and that would extend to our other partner. But of course boundaries are important. Salvador could like something that you don’t or vice versa. We also don’t think everything has to involve all three of us. If one of us opts out of a date night or anything, we wouldn’t take it personally. We also don’t play favorites.”

SEBASTIÁN

Sebastián grinned at Rebecca's flirtation, already enjoying his interaction with both of them. He could already tell Salvador and Rebecca were a lot of fun and had considered many times throughout this conversation that they had to be for so many of his friends to have known them. "I can do boundaries. I'm a dad of a pre-teen. Boundaries are my life." He chuckled, finding it super important to volunteer that information even in jest. He was pretty sure Xavier had made mention of it in his introduction. "Full disclosure, I've never done this before. But I do want to and will respect any boundaries set forth and appreciate your honesty. It's refreshing." He liked that they didn't play favorites and had some freedom in the relationship. "I'd like to go out on a date with both of you so we can see where this goes? What did you guys have in mind?"

SALVADOR

With Rebecca and Sebastián seeming to hit it off, Salvador was quietly growing more thrilled about the possibilities for the future. "The disclosure's appreciated. And you would be the first person we've expanded our relationship to. So all of us will be in new territory in a way. But I'm looking forward to it." He idly stroked his fingertips low along the back of Rebecca's forearm while while his eyes were on Sebastián. "Dinner sounds like a nice first date, but I think having someone else cook for us would be better while we get to know you more and you get to know us more." His gaze momentarily dropped from Sebastián's eyes to his lips and back to his eyes again. "I could arrange for somewhere private for the three of us. And speaking of privacy, I'm not sure if you know what Rebecca and I do for a living but we both planned for an NDA to be signed as something to protect the privacy of all of us. It's not to make you feel isolated from being able to talk to your family or close friends about your new relationships. We just know that polyamorous relationships aren't widely accepted and don't need to see the careers we've built suffer for our romantic interests."

REBECCA

Rebecca got goosebumps as her partner gently touched her arm. Salvador was always able to make her feel amazing and comforted no matter how he touched her. “Dinner and wine, if you imbibe,” Rebecca grinned. “We hope you understand and it’s not a deal breaker for you. It would really just prevent any of us from disclosing the nature of our relationship to the press and general public. If you wanted to tell your child, for example, you could,” she said, remembering Xavier mentioned he was a daddy. In more than one way, she thought. “It can always be reevaluated later when we all know and trust each other better,” she smiled. The longer she looked at Sebastián, the more she wanted to get her hands all over him.

SEBASTIÁN

An NDA. He hadn’t even thought of that at all and if he was being honest, Seb lived under a rock dedicated his life to his work and child. He didn’t quite know about the status that Rebecca and Salvador possessed but he would want to now know especially when he was about to embark on this journey with them. It felt thrilling and slightly scary only because he was throwing himself back into all of this and with two people. Once he felt more comfortable, he would tell them all that. Watching Salvador and Rebecca made him want to learn more. Their subtle exchanges, the way they were so clearly in love and how much they were willing to make this comfortable for him — a complete stranger. It was endearing. It was special. Hell , it was sexy. “Yeah eventually I’ll tell my son. He’ll figure it out I’m sure.” Seb chuckled, unable to really keep his attention away from them. “Dinner sounds wonderful and I want to lear more about you both. So, I guess the next question is where do I sign?”

SALVADOR

Salvador was giving a couple of nods as Rebecca elaborated further about the date and NDA. The response from Sebastián and his continued easygoing intake of it all continued to pleasantly surprise Salvador. It also made him that much more eager but he kept himself from showing as much and smiled a little, "Is your son very intuitive?" he wondered. "Marvelous," Salvador replied, "We don't have the contract here, but w can bring it and a copy for yourself to dinner. If you'r comfortable with it, we can exchange phone numbers tonight and once the dinner is arranged, then all of us can get together to sign the NDA and enjoy our date. Would that work for you, and are there any particular days during the week that would not work at all for our date?"

REBECCA

Rebecca was surprised, but pleased, that Sebastián was on board with everything. She chuckled when he asked where he could sign. “Another question is what are your work hours if you’re on the Morning Zoo. Those overnights must be murder,” she said. Though he looked well-rested enough. Maybe he just went to bed very early. “If you want a lawyer to look it over, we support that as well. We want everything above board.” It was very standard, and she even had plenty of employees sign NDAs so they couldn’t spill company secrets. It was just different when you were making a possible future boyfriend sign one.

SEBASTIÁN

"Ah, my son is a bit of a genius. He hasn't been tested or anything but it's in the plans. He's intuitive and wise beyond his age. Nothing gets past him." He chuckled, shaking his head some. "He's one of the kids on scholarship so this whole thing was for him and his friends." That major fact was another reason he didn't feel this was too strange. Sebastián was less nervous and more curious at this point. he wondered whom he could speak to about all of this. Celeste and Khamani were practically like siblings to him. He couldn't imaging not hinting at what was going on. Not right away but at some point. "I come from a family of lawyers. Go figure I become a radio host." He grinned. "I'll have my sister take a look, if anything. "Ah, well..." He laughed. "I'm at the station as early as 330 a.m. sometimes. I have to be ready to work at 4 a.m. On a good day, I'm out before noon. Leo catches a ride with Xavier and his kids and then I'm there for pick up. Try to sleep somewhere in between. You get used to it after a while."

SALVADOR

"Is that right?" Salvador responded, finding the way Sebastián spoke of his son to be very sweet. He liked that. And he nodded hearing that his son was one of the students there on scholarship. From the event itself, he could tell that it was a very expensive school to attend and he admired that Sebastián's qualified not only to attend but to receive said scholarship. While he and Rebecca didn't have any children together, he was finding himself interested in meeting Sebastián's son someday. "It's good that he's going to be able to continue attending." Of course Salvador didn't know how much money had been raised but even if they were short, he'd be happy to match the difference. Hearing that Sebastián came from a family of lawyers hadn't fazed Salvador. In fact, it was that much more assuring when it came time to actually presenting the NDA that he would have anything he was unsure of clearly explained to him. His work schedule and the quick look into his day sounded like a long day. "Would an early dinner be better then? So not to cut into your sleep or time with your son too much?"

REBECCA

She couldn’t help but smile at Sebastián as he talked so sweetly about his son. She never had a desire to have kids of her own. It wasn’t because she didn’t like them. Kids were great when they belonged to other people. She just never felt like she could give a child the attention they deserved. Rebecca was also terrified of birth and knew that if she and Salvador ever did choose to have a baby, they would use a surrogate. “You should definitely see if he can be tested for Mensa. A lot of it is about bragging rights, but it would still open doors for him if he got in,” she grinned. As they kept talking, she was still shocked that none of what they said sent him running. “I would happily have an early dinner if that works better. The last thing we want to do is take you away from other responsibilities. As it is, Sal and I are very respectful of each other’s time and work.”

SEBASTIÁN

He nodded at Salvador's question offering him a sincere smile when he said it was good that Leo would be staying at the school. "Yes, Mensa. That's what his teachers keep insisting I do. We'll see what happens! I wouldn't be surprised. He enjoys doing people's taxes. It's...he's a character." He hoped that someday Salvador and Rebecca would meet Leo. "That's very nice of you both." He was exactly surprised. Seb was good at reading people and he could tell Rebecca and Salvador were not only lovely on the outside, they were lovely on the inside as well. "I don't do the Zoo on the weekends so they're pretty open and even though I am early for work, I'm a night owl." He chuckled. "It's just easier that way. As long as I get five hours or so of sleep, I'm solid. But let's see how long that lasts me." He smirked. "So..." He shifted his gaze from Salvador to Rebecca, admiring their features. He reached for Salvador's hands, gently letting his thumb graze over the palm before reaching for Rebecca's with his free hand, interlacing his fingers with her. "I think I can get used to this..."

SALVADOR

Listening to Rebecca and Sebastián, Salvador felt his excitement for the relationship blooming warm inside his chest. He was private about his true emotions and deeper intimacies with people he loved, cared about and was even infatuated with which made their conversation in the music room all the more perfect. "I can relate to being a night owl." He suffered from frequent bouts of insomnia but didn't bring it up often and chance being pitied by anyone. Rebecca knew, of course, and if this extended relationship with Sebastián lasted, he was sure to be told too. He invited Sebastián'a closeness and at the feeling of his hand in his, Salvador reciprocated the closeness by closing his fingers around the other man's a little. And as he watched him weave his fingers eith Rebecca, Salvador leaned over and dropped a tender kiss on her shoulder. "I hope so," he replied to Sebastián, lips forming a lazy smile. He glanced Sebastián's way, and then looked to Rebecca, feeling hopeful for the future the three of them were venturing to carve out together.
