Then what exactly is the problem? You'd date me even if you don't like my haircut is basically what you're saying.

[ he might be a dumb jock, but he remembers why they're here... ]

[menkoi]

[ wait - erk. maybe he should have kept talking about that hypothetical exhibitionism ]

[menkoi]

[ OKAY FINE, he's right. Yuri doesn't waste time talking to hopeless uggos ]

One date, you pay for the movie. I'll bring you a hat.

[ this is his "who do you think you are? i am" moment. ]

Fine, but if you're picking the hat, I'm picking the date location, and I think a movie on a first date plays it too safe. [ you just... sit there? you can ignore the other person if it goes badly, which might be the point, but, ] You like a Western or Eastern style café better?

[menkoi]

What, like Denny's or ramen? That's how you're going to show me up, a thrilling lunch special?

[ pft, maybe squares play it 'too safe' in dark theatres, but yeah Yuri isn't going to point that out. he quickly tucks away his little smirk and shrugs. ]

Western, I guess.

[ stop, he can't be doing Stuff at the movies on a first date. he might look like a fuckboy, but he's only fuckboy passing, ok. ]

Oh, so you want me to take you on a low class date to the cheapest hole in town? That what you're saying?

[menkoi]

[ then he's got a big storm coming :') ]

I'm just surprised. I didn't expect someone who can't cut his hair in a straight line to try at being classy.

[ does Yuri know anything about being classy? no, but that isn't the point ]

Do you have a thing for being treated like a bitch? 'Cause I can do that, you just let me know.

[ he cannot fathom any possibility in his admittedly shallow mind for why his efforts at being an actually decent date are being undermined like this...! ]

[menkoi]

[ unfortunately, Yuri finds the persistence both charming and amusing.

the question makes him snort a quiet, inelegant laugh while he twirls one of those twin-tails. like a bitch, huh? ]

Do what you want. I'll tell you if I don't like it, and neither of us has to pretend to be having fun. Fair?
