Blind Date meme

[semimeme]

 

The Blind Date meme. Pretty self-explanatory. No matter how awkward and unexpected they might be, there is always something exciting about them. Who is your company for the evening going to be? Will it be a person of your innermost dreams or someone you absolutely can't stand? And most importantly...
 

How are you going to handle it?

What do:
1. Post with your character! They're now in the middle of a blind date.
2. Comment to each other! When you do that...
3. Go to Random.org and roll a single die!

1. 

First date

 -- You've never been out on a date before, so someone's decided to give you a helping hand.
2. 

On the rebound

 -- You're recovering from a painful breakup, but your friends/family think they found a great person for you anyway.
3. 

Not strangers at all

 -- Someone thought you didn't know your date. Turns out you know them from somewhere.
4. 

Hideously awkward

 -- Hey wait, that's your ex/boss/doctor/distant family member! Or, even worse, it's that person you absolutely despise. This will go well!
5. 

Existing partner

 -- You two are just acting like strangers to spice up your love life.
6. 

Future spouse

 -- Unfortunately, you have to have an arranged marriage. Fortunately, you get to meet that special someone for a date beforehand. How will the night go?
7. ...or, instead of rolling, come up with your own scenario!

4. Play out the date. This meme can be completely fluffy, smutty, or hilarious. If you don't want smut, you can put that in your subject. It doesn't even have to be romantic.

[Suga takes a deep breath and finds he doesn't know how to let it out right away, because now he knows what the word love sounds like in Makoto's gentle voice, and that alone is enough that Suga is sure his face is embarrassingly red all over again. Add that to the fact that he said yes, and this means an agreed-to follow-up date in a somewhat more intimate setting, that's... wow. It's almost too much to handle.]

Then... I suppose I'll need to know all your favorite ingredients, so I can make sure to make something that suits you.

[While Makoto's pretty sure anything Suga throws together will come out delicious, he recognizes this as a prime opportunity to throw out a line, see if the other boy will bite.]

Oh, of course. But, um, I can't think of them right now...

[It's easy to say he's quite distracted, and not by the highly caloric food before them.]

...maybe we can exchange phone numbers and I can text them to you? Or e-mail is fine, too.

[Suga's already asked him for another meeting -- another date -- and Makoto really doesn't want to press his luck, but...]

shows up a million years late with starbucks I'M SO SORRY

[Smooth, Makoto. Suga fights back a smirk, just barely, and fishes his phone out of his pocket. He opens a new contact page and slides the phone across the table.]

How good of you to think of everything! This will make everything much easier.

[He's trying hard not to wander off down several paths that being able to contact Makoto at any time has opened up. There will always be time for daydreaming later.]

reaches for with new third arm NO WORRIES.

[Makoto's unlocked his phone and made sure nothing too embarrassing was readily available on it before he made the trade with Suga. And as he types in his info -- and tries not to fill in too many of the fields, even if he hopes thinks Suga might want to know his birthday or his blood-type -- he chuckles.]

Mmhm. And, you know, you can message me any time. Or call, if you want...

[He's not laying it on thick, is he?]

life does not want me to have any time for RP but I WILL PERSIST; forgive the super-lateness again;;

[softdad]

[Maybe he is laying it on thick, but it's not like Suga has any objections; he's been just as carried away for a while now. Which is why he puts a little winking emoji next to his name in Makoto's contact list before handing the phone back over.]

Same here! That is, the invitation goes both ways.

[He takes another bite of cake more as a way to not look to eager than anything else, but it probably doesn't help much. Anyone with eyes could see how far over the moon he is at this point.]
