[ Secret boyfriend - his parents would never approve of Con. Tim hasn’t found the chance to tell them he’s considering auditioning a boyfriend, but Con would be too -
It’s not really a consideration. They’re just talking about what other people might assume, but Tim can feel the warmth creeping up his neck.
Then he gets hit with rich weirdo hiring a callboy, and he’s fully embarrassed at how salacious and exploitative he’d be in people’s minds, if they cared.
Tim bites his tongue and follows Con inside without protesting that he’d never do that to him. They’re just possible perceptions. It doesn’t matter.
But it matters very much to Tim, and so he chooses to portray boyfriend. Standing close but not pressed close. Eyes on the floor and pink-faced, he doesn’t have to reach at all for nervous.
Con can do the talking. Tim will hook an index finger in one of his belt loops and try to pretend this is tryst if that’s normal. ]
