Heeeeee this was SO GREAT. Prickly Spencer's POV was hilarious and Brendon was adorable and I loved Dallon and the setting and the setup, and this was basically all round delightful <3 Also I loved the whole beginning-to-know-each-other-first-dates element in the story, and--
Brendon knocks back his shot and says abruptly, "Do you want to go make out in my car?"
--for some reason I find this line absurdly hot, and ALSO:
When he gets to the break room, two-thirds of the newsroom is already hovering there, like vultures drawn to carrion. Spencer is impressed when Dallon pulls it together long enough to give the traditional speech of the departing employee's direct supervisor -- he doesn't even drool. Then Elaine gives a speech, and everyone stares at the cake as though hypnotized until it's finally cut. Elaine's a good copy editor, it's a real loss for the newsroom, blah blah blah, but Spencer can't focus on that when there's cake to be had.
Ahahaha this entire paragraph. We have these like once a week. CAKE.
