Gay Gold 4:44 AM
Lesbian Gold: What if we went on a double date :)
Gay Gold 8:46 AM
Gay Gold: Marigold what the fuck
Lesbian Gold: We should go on a double date :)
Gay Gold: That's not what I was questioning,
Gay Gold: and you know it
Lesbian Gold: :)
Gay Gold: You know what, I'm not questioning it.
Gay Gold: A double date does sound fun, though
Lesbian Gold: :)
Gay Gold: Christ's sake, stop with the creepy fucking smilies.
Lesbian Gold: :)
Lesbian Gold: Anyway, let's meet at Pizza Pit at 6:00 PM?
Gay Gold: Alrighty, sounds like a plan
Midas set his phone on his desk, smiling. Marigold's habit of using the smile emoticon was a bit unsettling, but ultimately it did make him smile. He took a second to look out the window. Outside he could see Meowscles and Jules playing with Kit. Jules was old enough to take care of herself, and he doubted she'd mind him going on a date. Come to think of it, he'd never met Marigold's girlfriend. He didn't even know her name. Well, that would change later that evening! He picked his phone back up to text his boyfriend.

Tumblr Sexyman: Marigold wants to have a double date
Secret Gaygent: That sounds like a plan to me!
Secret Gaygent: Tell me when and where, and I'll be there.
Tumblr Sexyman: Six o'clock, Pizza Pit
Tumblr Sexyman: Be there or be square
Four forty-five found Midas standing in front of his closet to chose a suit. He ended up picking out an ebony black suit, perfect for contrast against his golden hands. He allowed his golden touch to color part of his tie. He didn't need to dress up so fancy for going to Pizza Pit, and he knew it. However, he felt like it. He then moved to a makeup table, spending the last of his remaining time applying his makeup and doing his hair.
He arrived to Pizza Pit at five fifty. Marigold was waiting there already, wearing a simple and loose black dress. She greeted him warmly, a smile playing on her lips. Midas approached her.
"Have you seen our partners, yet?" Marigold shook her head.
"I have not." They slipped into familial conversation.
A sharp voice cut through their conversation.
"And what are YOU doing here?!" Another, equally sharp, voice responded.
"I happen to have a date, thank you very much. And you?" Marigold rushed in the direction of the voices, Midas close behind. The two voices continue to argue as the golden twins got close. One of the figures was Midas' boyfriend, Jones. Midas grabbed Jones' arm and twirled him around. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Marigold doing the same to the woman Jones had been arguing with. Jones looked from Midas, to Marigold, and back and forth again.
"Midas, is Doctor Slone dating your fucking sister?" He sneered the name, and Slone sneered right back.
"Well fuck you too, Jones." Midas stepped forward with a playful smirk.
"That's my job, Doctor Slone." Jones went bright red and Slone turned her death glare onto Midas. Behind her, Marigold was shaking with badly hidden laughter.
"Midas- *snort* please don't." She took a deep inhale, her laughter finally subsiding. Slone huffed.
"Well, since we seem to be on the fast track to becoming in-laws, I suppose we should try to at least be personable to one another." Jones rolled his eyes, but agreed nonetheless. Midas took Jones' hand, and Marigold took Slone's. Jones and Slone were giving each other dirty looks, but they didn't say anything.
