Eddy took his time answering, letting Luke sit there, anxiously waiting for what he might say.  It was teasing, horribly so, and the boy was riled by it, shifting on his seat and<i>waiting</i>...<br/><br/><i>Please say yes, say yes, say yes...</i><br/><br/>Luke's eyes landed on Eddy's throat, watching the subtle up and down of his Adam's apple as he swallowed.  And then he did answer, and the smile on Luke's face grew, crooked and so completely pleased.<br/><br/>Luke put down his glass, heart beat quickened by Eddy's grin, and tried to stand up slow enough so he didn't look too over-eager.  "Lead the way, then...  If, you don't mind closing up early," he added, with a quick, teasing grin of his own.
