"Black Tie"

“I hate banquets. I hate tuxedos, too.” Nick glanced longingly at the rumpled mess of sheets where just minutes ago he had lain with Kevin, arms and legs entangled in ecstasy.

“Nick, please,” Kevin sighed. “We promised to do this months ago.”

“Dawg, this sucks.” Nick pouted for a moment, then added brightly, “I don’t even own a tux.”

“Which is why I rented you one. The invitation clearly said ‘black tie’ Nick, so get your ass dressed. We’re going to be late.”

“Fine.”

Minutes later Nick re-appeared, dressed in black tie. ONLY his tie.

Kevin moaned. “We’re staying home.”
