Eric: I swear to god if I get asked a question about my love life one more time I shall fire everyone

Charles: I don't think that's the best idea darling

Eric: oh well I'll deal with it

Charles: what were they asking?

Eric: "since when was he gay?"

Charles: for quite a while

Eric: "since when are you not a cold, murderous bastard?"

Charles: oh you are darling, just not towards me

Eric: true

Eric: "Have you fucked him?"

Charles: yes

Eric: "are you a couple?"

Charles: yes

Eric: "will we get to meet the mystery man?"

Charles: looking for an excuse to show me off?

Eric: maybe...

Charles: that's nice to know ;)

Eric: the most common question I was asked was "how did you meet?"

Charles: a stroke of luck

Eric: agreed

Eric: how have your classes been love?

Charles: they have gone quite well actually, I'm obviously still getting questioned however I expected that, all the students I teach are nosy as fuck

Eric: haha

Charles: I've been doing some more research on my paper about genetic mutations

Eric: that sounds very interesting

Eric: how has that been going?

Charles: it has been going remarkably well, I've almost finished my paper

Eric: how exciting

Charles: it is

Charles: I've been thinking about publishing it but I don't know if I should or not

Eric: I think you should

Charles: really?

Eric: yes, you've been working so hard on it. You deserve to have you hard work recognised.

Charles: thank you Eric

Charles: but that means I have to go to this ceremony thing

Eric: what is it?

Charles: it's basically to celebrate the publishing of a professor's paper, it's very formal and a lot of other scientists come. But that means I have to mingle with people who will be getting drunk

Eric: can you bring guests?

Charles: yes, I can invite as many people as I want as it's a celebration for me

Eric: well then I'm coming

Charles: you'd come?

Eric: of course

Charles: thank you Eric

Eric: it's not a problem liebling

Charles: have you got anything at your work you want me to accompany you to?

Eric: well there is the Christmas do

Eric: thank you!

Eric: it will be a good chance to show off my wonderful boyfriend
