BLIND DATE MEME

BLIND DATING TIME

Maybe your friends hooked you two up. Maybe they're actually the real life 'Hot Singles In Your Area!!!' Or maybe they just had a really, really cute selfie on OKCupid. There's only one thing for sure- this can either go well, or end in horrible, horrible disasters.

Prompts

1. DON'T FUCK THIS UP: Oh wow, you're nervous. Is it your first date ever? Maybe it is. Okay, you're going to the restaurant, in your best clothes-- did you just sit on the wrong table...?

2. YOU FUCKED THIS UP: Got the time wrong? Shit. Got the date wrong? Crap. But worst of all, what do you do when you realize your date doesn't seem too wooed? Fuck, do something to impress them! Juggle the utensils, do a handstand!

3. OH DAAAAAMN: The selfie was cute, but this person here? The moons pales in comparison to their glow. Fishes drown when they see their smile, and birds fall to the ground in awe at their laugh. You're kinda overwhelmed.

4. OH NOOOOOOO: Or maybe they look like what would be produced if Satan crawled up from Hell and took a shit in God's hand of creation. Well, it's... the personality that counts...?!

5. HOLD ON A MINUTE: Wait. Don't you know them? Oh shit, it's your ex. Or maybe it's your boss. Or maybe it's your brother. Things just got really awkward, really fast.

6. HELL YEAH HERE'S MY NUMBER: That was a success. A smooch on the lips, and a new contact in your phone-- maybe even more?

7. OKAY NO BYE: Or rather, you end up getting fed up with this goddamn date. Nope, bye, you're an asshole. Have fun footing the whole bill, creep.

8. YOU CAN'T CONTROL LOVE: Come up with your own scenario!

[For Zed to still refer to him as a lady...strange as it sounds, it made Right feel a little better about the whole thing. It certainly earned Zed a brighter grin than before.

Then, Right turned to the waiter and stated in his best "lady" voice] I believe I'll have one of every dish, including the desserts.

[The Waiter, naturally, was taken aback by such a huge order.] Sir-- [A brief pause upon glancing at Zed.] I-I mean...my lady! Such a large meal...are you sure you can consume all of it?

Oh, I definitely will. And even if I don't, I'll just take the rest home...unless my date wants some of it, of course. [He added the last part as an afterthought.]

[Zed gave a light snort in reaction to Right's response to the Waiter. He's sending a look to the Waiter, with a smile on his lips.]

You heard the young lady. Go get her what she wants.

[He's of course playing along still with whatever Right's doing. It seemed like fun, for one and there was no harm to it. In Zed's mind anyway. He's briefly taking a glance at the menu, before closing it and handing it towards the waiter.]

Just bring me more tea.

Y-Yes, my lord! I...I'll have another pot brought out for you as soon as possible. [The waiter quickly bowed and took their menus before he rushed back into the kitchen again, leaving Right alone with his "date".]

Hahhh... [Right leaned back in his chair.] I started to wonder if he was going to make me choose. [He took a sip of his tea...then decide that this spiced orange blend probably tastes better with a lump of sugar. Or two.]

[Zed paid no mind as the waiter left. He picked up his cup once more, to take a small sip from his cup.]

What makes you think he would do that?

[He questioned Right, as he quietly set his cup back down.]

It's his job to service whatever you order, isn't it?

[Right shrugged.] Dunno...just thought he might. [He then grinned.] Good thing he took it anyway. Hope he brings out the first course soon; I'm starving. [He pats his stomach - almost instinctively in a graceful manner - and then reached for his wine glass.]

[Zed on the other hand didn't seem too bothered let alone hungry. Or maybe that's normal. Or maybe it's not, nobody will know.

He is however picking up his own wine glass, with as much grace as an Emperor is expected to have.]

Sounds like you're excited about your meal, Right. Not that I'm surprised.

I just really like food a lot - all kinds of food. If it's good, I'll eat it. [Food's a safe topic, in Right's mind. It's just one of those things everyone talks about, no different than the weather.]

What about you, Zed? Got any favorite dishes you like? [Right then took a sip of wine. While he doesn't drink much alcohol, it was pretty darn good - rich with a strong undertones of fall.]

Favorite dishes?

[Zed looks thoughtfully into his wine glass before settling it down.]

Didn't think about that before. Eating in the darkness isn't that great of an experience as opposed to doing anything out here.

Eh? Why? [Right tilts his head, looking clearly confused.] It isn't because the food's bad, is it? Or is there some kind of stuffy tradition with how meals go on the Shadow Line? [Considering how all the other Shadow leaders are dressed - all stiff and proper - he wouldn't be surprised if none of them really know how to enjoy life and have fun.]

A bit of both.

[Zed gave a careless shrug. Honestly it was either sit by himself at the end of a long table surrounded by Crows who happily served him or be surrounded by the rest of the Shadow Line who constantly tried winning his favor.

Not that he cared in the least.]

But here, everything is shining, even the people. It doesn't stop being entertaining.

I guess even this place would be nicer than your meals back home, if that's the case... [Right glanced around the restaurant, thought he himself didn't seem too impressed with it. It's a bit too high class for his taste, personally.

But speaking of food... The waiter returns with a cart full of steaming appetizers, and he stopped it right next to their table.] Your f-first course...my lady.

Alright! [Right set his napkin down across his lap as the waiter set each dish before him. Though after the fifth one, he did realize something.] Umm, they're a little small for the serving size, aren't they?

Ah, well...it was a-advised to make them small so that y-you would have room for your entire order.

[Over in her hiding spot in the bushes near the kitchen door, Matchmaker was wickedly gleeful, fulling expecting Right to throw a fuss about the smaller size...]

Really...? Huh...oh, well. At least someone was being considerate, right? Itadakimasu! [And with that, Right started working on the first dish before him.

Matchmaker, meanwhile, almost fell over in shock, whispering to herself.] Food sizes doesn't bother him?!

[Zed gave a small chuckle from Right not being bothered by the serving size. He's glancing over to his Shadow, giving her an amused look before shifting his attention back.]

Hey Waiter. Hope you didn't forget about my tea. It's starting to get a little empty.

[He'll casually gesture to the pot.]

Y-Yes, my lord. Just p-please wait a m-moment. [The waiter quickly brought out a fresh pot from the bottom level of the cart and switched it out for the empty pot.] I-I hope that you both enjoy this course. Th-The next one will - *gulp* - will be out shortly. [And with that, the waiter retreated from their table, cart in tow.

Right, of course, was already on his second dish.] Mmmm...this is really good! For pricy food, this taste wonderful~ [Then he remembered what they were talking about just a few moments ago.] If you want anything, Zed, you're welcome to take a couple of plates. I wouldn't mind.

[Zed watched the waiter for a moment before turning his attention to his tea. As he was refilling his cup, he stopped to stare at Right. It was like the time at the amusement park, he mused while watching Right eat.]

Ah? Well, I'll think about it.

[Zed spoke while casually dismissing Right's offer. He'll then lift up his tea and began to take another sip of it.]

You're sure? ...Well, if you change your mind, let me know. [Man, these dishes are making him thirsty, but all he's got is tea and wine. So, he downs the rest of his glass of wine and turns to yet another plate--]

"She's such a pig!"

"'She?' That's just some weird boy..."

Huh? [Right looked around for the voices, but he couldn't find the source.] Strange...

I'll keep that in mind.

[Zed was lowering his cup down, when taking notice of the change in Right. It was easy to tell Matchmaker Shadow was already doing her job. It was interesting to see how Right was going to overcome this.

He does casually give a smile, pretending not to notice anything out of the ordinary.]

Is something the matter, Right? The food not to your liking?

Eh? [Right blinked in surprise as he turned back to Zed.] I thought I heard something, but...guess not. [He just shrugged and grabbed the wine bottle in order to refill his glass, doing his best to brush it off with a smile.]

Sounds like you're hearing things.

[Zed feigned ignorance, while taking a sip from his tea again. Naturally he had no intentions of lending a hand to Right. Not when it was far more interesting to see how he dealt with it on his own.

Lowering his cup, he's giving Right a curious look.]

Are you sure you're not tired? You humans start acting strange when you're tired don't you?

Tired? [Right look befuddled for a moment, before he shook his head in order to clear it.] No way; not one bit! Besides, I got too much food to eat in order to be sleepy. [And with that, Right dug back into the remaining plates before him, occasionally sipping from his wine glass.

Though he cheeks were started to redden a little. Could it be that your date, Zed, is a lightweight?]

[Well what do you know? Right couldn't handle his alcohol. Zed wordlessly pushed one of the plates closer to Right, which just so happens to have some bread rolls on it.]

Hey, why don't you eat these? Looks good. Maybe I'll have one, but you tell me what it tastes like first.

[With that, Zed will reach for his wine glass to take a sip, considering it's been barely touched as opposed to Right who drank a little more than he had.]

Oh, thanks~ [Good timing, Zed; that happened to be one of the last plates of food currently on the table. Right immediately grabbed a roll and bit off a huge chunk of it, talking around his mouthful.]

Mmmm...light and buttery and fluffy and delicious and buttery.

[Out-and-out Drunk? Not really. Tipsy? Just about.]

[Zed's giving a light snort at the oh-so elegant way Right ate. He was purposely distracting Right from drink more. At least for the moment.]

Hm, and what else? Here eat another one.

[He's now picking up another roll, from the plate and handing it to Right.]

Tell me more about it.

[Right had just finished the first roll when he saw Zed holding up the second line. Wow, what a nice guy Zed's being tonight...

Instead of taking the roll by hand, Right decided to impulsively act on a sudden idea and just bite the roll while it's still in Zed's hand.] Mmmm...very fluffy and delicious. Sweet, too...just as sweet as you are right now. [A warm smile spread across Right's face.]

[Well, that wasn't what he had expected from Right to be honest. He found himself continuing to be entertained by Right's actions, in his current state of mind.]

You think so, huh? Try eating a little slower, Right. Wouldn't want you to choke on your food.

[...then again that would be just as fun to see. Good thing Right's not a mind reader. His thoughts were anything but sweet.]

Now you're starting to sound like Mio... [Right stated it humorously.] She's always being a big sister for us--

"How sweet! He's feeding her!"

"Are you kidding? It's gross for two men to be like that in public?"

"Ehh? The girl's a guy? I feel sorry for the other guy already..."

[Right immediately looked around, but again couldn't find the source for the voices. He frowned in frustration, muttering to himself.] Why do people think that way...?
