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!

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.

[sparklesparklesparkle]

[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.]

[lunchleader]

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...

[sparklesparklesparkle]

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?

[lunchleader]

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.]

[sparklesparklesparkle]

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?

[lunchleader]

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?]

[sparklesparklesparkle]

[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.]

[lunchleader]

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.]

[sparklesparklesparkle]

[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.

[lunchleader]

[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.]

[sparklesparklesparkle]

[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.]

[lunchleader]

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...?

[sparklesparklesparkle]

Is she, now?

[Zed's grinning wide like a Cheshire cat. Again, he feigns ignorance by putting on a puzzled look. With a slight tilt of his head, he looked at Right.]

What are you talking about now?

[lunchleader]

I swear I thought I heard two people talking about us nearby...and not in good way, either. [Right was both confused and frustrated.] There's nothing wrong with a guy wanting to play pretend being a girl sometimes, right?

[sparklesparklesparkle]

Why should the opinions of strangers matter, anyway?

[Zed questioned, while casually drumming his fingers against the table top. He stopped, considering Right's question for a moment before giving a chuckle.]

I certainly haven't tried before, but then again you ToQGers always find something interesting to do.

[lunchleader]

It's called using your Imagination. Just create the image you want in your mind - like what kind of girl you wanna be - and then make it real. It's fun, and some dresses are better than suits sometimes. You should try it sometime.

[After a few minutes of finishing off another roll, he slowly realized something:] Oh, wait...you're the one person who's not supposed to know that at all...

[sparklesparklesparkle]

[Zed's now laughing, when Right realized a little too late. Not that he had a cover with his face showing and all, but...welp.]

You act as if this is the first time I've seen you use your imagination, Right. Not that I mind, it keeps things entertaining.

[Did you just finish a roll? Well, too bad have another one that he's holding out.]

[lunchleader]

[Right feels a pout coming on. He's not used to being laughed at for making a mistake - not if it wasn't meant to be a joke in the first place. But before he could say anything further, the waiter returned once again, this time his tray cart almost overflowing with entrees.

That really brighten up Right's mood almost instant.] Whoaaah...this all looks so good! [He grinned as the waiter quickly swapped out the now-empty appetizer plates for the currently full entree plates. Steaks and chickens, pasta and salads...]

[sparklesparklesparkle]

[The wonders food can do to Right. Zed watched while the plates are placed in front of him. Zed still holding the last roll from earlier, moved to take a bite from it for himself.]

Are you sure you can eat all of this?

[He questioned, not that he minded of Right couldn't. He was simply curious.]

[lunchleader]

Of course, I can! Especially since they're small enough. [And as the waiter withdraws yet again, Right proceeds to get started with his food again.]

"Oh, honestly! Doesn't he have no sense of self-respect when he eats?"

"Yeah! If he's gonna pretend to be a girl, he should act like one, instead of pigging out."

[Right paused for a few moments, looking rather miffed into his pasta dish. Why won't they just shut up and leave me alone?]

[sparklesparklesparkle]

[Zed was picking his tea cup back up, as he watched Right dig back into his plates of food. He does however lower it back down, when Right became visibly upset.]

What's the matter, Right? Not liking your meal? In that case maybe I should eat something.

[He's leaning a little forward onto the table, while his expression lit up like a Cheshire cat's.]

[lunchleader]

Eh? Oh...the food's great. Just wish people would shut up about me... [Right starts sipping some wine again before going back to eating.

Though, after a few moments...] Oh, yeah. Go ahead and grab a plate, if you're really hungry. I know you didn't order any food for yourself.

[sparklesparklesparkle]

Hm? What do you mean? I don't hear people discussing about us. Look around you, everyone else is enjoying their own date.

[He'll casually hand wave to the rest of the people there. Zed naturally was purposely pretending not to notice. It was more fun that way for him.

He will pick up a plate, which looked like a plate full of raviolis.]

I think I will, then.

[lunchleader]

[Right is still pouting as he eats. Honestly, why does it seem like someone's trying to ruin his date?

It actually took a couple of plates before it Right remembered the reason for being here in the first place. After just finishing his third glass, Right had enough lack of self control to actually say at the moment of realization:] ...Ooohhh...
