We Cannot Become What we Want by Remaining What we are - Malum

This one was sort of hard to write once I started thinking about it. There were so many possibilities but also so little. I hope you enjoy!

Request from libracaprisun 🥰💖💚💞🌈✨

Prompt: Mike invites Calum to dinner as friends, but they walk out of the restaurant as boyfriends.

Era: I'd say like 2015 but imagine it how you want ♡'･ᴗ･'♡

Calum's phone rings, and Duke begins to bark (sorry for killin u off dat 1 tiem dukey ily 🥺).

"Calm down, buddy," the maori giggles. "It's just Mikey."

He picks up the phone, and Michael greets him happily.

"Yo, yo, yo! It's my favorite guy, Calum Hooooooooooood!" (THE BODACIOUS-)

Calum giggles once more. "Hey, my second favorite person," he teases.

"Who's your first?" Michael whines, obviously frowning on the other line.

"Luke," Calum nonchalantly says, shrugging, and throwing his arms up in the air.

"Oh, fuck Luke! I'm hanging up, b-"

"No, no, no! I'm just kidding, it's you!" Calum panics, fumbling with his phone and almost dropping it.

"That's what I thought," Michael mumbles. "I guess that means you're willing to go to dinner with me tonight?"

"Of course, anytime!" Calum exclaims, smiling. He hadn't any plans for the whole weekend, as it was Friday night and he was rather lonely. Even Duke couldn't keep him 100% happy all the time.

"Cool! I'll text you the address and we'll meet there around 7. Is that Gucci or nah?" Michael explains.

"Perfect," Calum confirms.

"Alright, see you then. Later," Michael says his goodbyes, and hangs up.

Calum pulled up to the restaurant, shifting his car's gear to park and turning the key to shut it off.

The restaurant was rather fancy. There were big, tall, fancy bushes in bronze looking planter pots beside the two, excessive front doors. The exterior was modern looking; painted black, but chicly outlined in gold. There was smooth jazz music playing throughout the establishment, that Calum could hear all the way from outside.

The maori glances down at his clothes, realizing he was in a holey band t-shirt, skinny jeans, and converse.

A sophisticated looking couple came outside, the woman in a navy blue evening gown, and the man in a matching suit.

"Shit," Calum mumbles. Was he seriously going to walk into a glamorous restaurant this underdressed? Seeing the couple made him want to curl up in a ball and hide from the world.

He began to panic, but Michael pulled up in a parking space on the other side of the parking lot. His friend turned his car off, and got out.

He was dressed in a t-shirt as well, with a print of some anime character on it, and he was wearing black and white striped leggings. (Bro but Michael's black and white leggings if you know what I'm talking abt OMG😭)

As soon as Calum laid his eyes on this, everything seemed to feel okay. He felt okay, that he would be going into this restaurant, basically dressed in a trash bag compared to everyone else.. as long as he was with Michael.
