No business like show business (for Blaine)

[smallgayjew]

David is finding a rhythm with his lectures and his readings and his essays. He thinks. So he decides it would be safe enough to get involved in some sort of society. Scripps has been asking him about what he does outside of school, and he wants to have an answer other than, "Revising."

There's a theatrical society at Magdalen, and they're having a recruitment meeting for anyone interested in joining. He'd thought about trying to get Akthar to come with, but then he decided that Blaine would be better for that, so he asked the other boy to join him. And now he's knocking on Blaine's door to see if he's ready to head out to the meeting.

Blaine briefly reaches out and touches David's arm. "That's not really the same."

[smallgayjew]

"No, it really isn't," David says softly, smiling a bit at Blaine's gesture.

Blaine moves closer and walks with him as they get to the meeting.

The meeting is held in one of the smaller, college lecture halls, and there are already a few people there when they arrive. "Where shall we sit?"

Blaine shrugs but takes a seat where they can watch everything.

[smallgayjew]

David takes the seat next to his and pulls out a small notebook and a pencil so he can take notes on any important information.

Blaine takes out his own supplies and smiles encouragingly towards David.

The meeting was a fairly standard affair. The student leaders got up to explain the group and what shows they were planning for the year. They sent around a sign-up sheet for their newsletter and another for the upcoming auditions for the first show. David puts his name on both of them.

Blaine does as well, writing carefully before passing it on. He also puts down important dates into his notebook.

David takes copious notes, and when the meeting is finished, he smiles over at Blaine.

"What d'you reckon?"

"I think it sounds wonderful," he says honestly. He smiles over at David as he puts his things back into his bag.

kk :)

[smallgayjew]

David nods, gathering up his things as well. "Me too. It should be a laugh if nothing else."

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

"And it never hurts to laugh."

[smallgayjew]

David laughs at that. "Yes, exactly."

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

"See?" Blaine said, grinning a bit.

[smallgayjew]

David chuckles, shaking his head. "That isn't exactly what the expression means, you know."

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Blaine chuckled a bit. "Do you want to get lunch?"

[smallgayjew]

"Yes, all right."

"Are any of your other friends joining societies?"

[smallgayjew]

"I think Akthar is doing something with computers. And Rudge has his rugby, of course."

"Can we go to a game?"

[smallgayjew]

"I don't see why not."

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

"I miss American football," he admitted after a moment.

[smallgayjew]

David laughs softly. "Well, from what I understand, it's not quite the same."

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

"No, but it will hold me over."
