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!

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...

[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.]

[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...]

[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.]

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?]

[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.]

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.

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.

[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...

[Zed actually hasn't touched his plate of food, for some reason. He was more interested in pretending to be eating by cutting it to different pieces, before finally looking up to Right with a questioning looking.]

What is it?

Oh, uh, just realized that the voices are just my Imagination going a little nuts tonight. That's all. If I ignore them, them my Imagination will stop being nutso. [And after flashing a huge, cheerful grin, Right proceeds to clean two plates. Oh, he could still hear the voices trying to pierce his mental armor...but they were hardly working.

Right's now using his Imagination to pretend that he simply don't hear them very clearly. He thinks that by doing so, he can make this date end happily.]

Oh, is that all?

[Zed gave a light smile before finally pushing his plate towards Right. He hasn't touched it at all given how he simply cut it into more manageable pieces instead.]

I don't think I can finish any of this. Can you?

Oh, yeah! [That was stated around a mouthful, but Right quickly swallowed. Manners; always have manners on a date.] Definitely! [He reached out to take it...and for a brief moment, his lace-covered fingers brushed up against Zed's bare fingers.

He still took the plate...but why did his heart beat just a little faster at that moment? And why did that one little touch send shivers up his spine?]

[There's a tiny chuckle at the oh-so lovely sight of Right talking with his mouth stuffed. While Right may be affected by their hand on hand contact, Zed seemed as chill as ever.

He does however give a slight tilt of his head to stare at Right.]

What's with that look for? Something on my face?

Uh...nothing, really. [He didn't sound very convincing, but he decided to avoid the subject - at least, for the moment - by devouring the now-sliced-up ravioli.]

[Zed's giving one last questioning look to Right, before lifting his cup of tea up. It's considerably cooled from earlier. Sighing he's setting it back down with a light clink between the china.]

Then let me ask another question. What do you intend to do after this, Right?
