It wasn't just about riding a bike but Reno would learn that the moment they were able to truly ride together and that wasn't going to happen in this cold.
He was putting his hand on the front door of his apartment building, a stairwell inside leading up to the various floors and the flat Makishima claimed as his own, when Reno's voice caught his attention and he stopped.
"..." He turned to stare at Reno. The expression on Makishima's face was somewhere between surprise and disbelief. Reno turning him down to come up to his place was the last thing he'd have expected the red-head to do. Disbelief turned into concern and Makishima's brows furrowed at the admission. He knew Reno had to be older than him, and age typically meant more experience, but the idea that Reno was potentially a one-night stand kind of guy didn't sit well with him. He lowered his hand from the door and turned fully to look at Reno on the steps.
He didn't say anything at first, merely regarded Reno quietly for a moment as he went over all Reno had done and said and weighed it against what he was hearing now. Eventually the smile started to creep back into Makishima's face and he shook his head. "Don't worry about it, sho."
He leaned forward and placed a gentle kiss on Reno's cheek.
Anyone who was going to go through buying a bike and actually lay out that kind of baggage on a first date was well worth sticking around for.
"I'll be right back down. You want anything to drink? I have some canned Pocari and mineral water if you want it?"
