The Midnight Texting Meme

It's the middle of the night and you're trying to catch some z's — or brooding alone in the alleys, as one does — when your phone dings and suddenly a stranger or a friend is texting you. What could they possibly want at this hour? Is it important? Stupid? Are they drunk or maybe just needy? ~~Do they need help hiding a body???~~ Pick up your phone and find out!

Rules:

● Post with your character's name and canon on the subject line, indicate preferences as needed
● Tag others
● Have fun!

When do you have a day off?
I'd like to take you out.

[ 'on a date' remains trapped in the aether. ]

[Oh! The text comes as a pleasant surprise. Sanji isn't used to being approached. He's usually the one finding someone to flirt with, albeit with mixed results. He can feel a stupid smile forming across his mouth.]

I'm lucky enough to have the entire weekend off. It's been a while since I've been able to say that.

What did you have in mind?

[ Nanami doesn't usually approach people and it's taken a while for him to make up his mind about this. time, a little liquid courage, and a lot of nagging from one perpetually sleep-deprived, yet iron-livered doctor. ]

There is an end of summer festival in my neighbourhood.
Since you said you were interested in more local customs and cuisines, I would like to take you there.

That's exactly the sort of thing I would be interested in. Thank you for thinking of me.

I think it would be fun to split our portions of different foods and share.

[Then, as if making a case for himself:]

My hands are very clean.

Yes, I noticed.

[ those hands seem to have a life of their own and it's hard to not look when Sanji's doing something as mundane as lighting a cigarette or when he's cooking. ]

So between the two of us we might be able to try everything they have on offer if we follow your suggestion.
