"Which wasn't really welcome then. ...anyway, the food's getting cold, come on." I took her hand and pulled her into the kitchen.

She followed him, squeezing his hand.

I wasn't sure what she liked, it's not like I've ever watched her sit down and eat a full meal, so I went with a basic Parmesan chicken with steamed vegetables. The effect was kind of ruined by them sitting on a plain kitchen counter with a couple of hastily cushioned stools.

She glanced at the meal before her. "I haven't had Parmesan chicken in /years./ Thank you!" She sat down.

"R-really?" Wow, that reaction was..../way/ better than I expected.

2016-07-09 04:55:06

●

"Yes, really."

2016-07-09 04:55:24

🌀

"Oh. ...you're welcome." I sat down on the opposite side of the counter, my shitty version of a table for two, and straightened my napkin one last time for good luck.

She cut a piece, and took a bite. "Mmmm!" She hummed. "This is /really/ good."

"...I couldn't quite remember the recipe, so I added a couple ingredients of my own. I'm glad you like it."

●

"I do. I love it."

2016-07-09 05:00:26

I looked down and tried some myself. I was too nervous to be very hungry, though. It did turn out better than I expected. Now I just have to get through the rest of the night.

She tried to eat as best she could, especially since she was a vampire, and well, Ivory didn't want to insult him.

🌀

Judging by how low my expectations were to start with, I'm pretty sure she couldn't insult me. After several minutes of picking at my food, I abandoned it and watched her eat instead. Is this creepy? Shit, should I stop?

She eventually set down her fork, finished with her plate. "Yes?" She asked him.

2016-07-09 05:08:10

🌀

"...nothing. Just not hungry."

2016-07-09 05:09:07

●

"Oh I see." She reached out and hesitantly took his hand. "That's fine, then."

2016-07-09 05:09:51

🌀

I held hers back. "So....what do we do now?"

2016-07-09 05:10:57

●

"Well...I'm finished with dinner at least. Was there anything else you had planned?"

2016-07-09 05:11:40

🌀

"I have a movie, but I thought dinner would take longer. You know, because there's usually more talking going on on first dates. ...I guess we already know all we need to about each other, though"

2016-07-09 05:13:02

●

"Considering we've already had sex before even the first date, I'm sure we've broken a few rules already."

2016-07-09 05:14:42

🌀

"Yeah...good point. Hookups happen, though."

2016-07-09 05:15:29

●

"Casual hook-ups, as in 'no strings attached.'"

2016-07-09 05:16:37

🌀

"God, don't mention strings, I already cry when I watch Pinnochio," I joked. It does sound enough like a joke, right?

"Well you didn't exactly have a puppet-master then."

2016-07-09 05:20:14

"You weren't one? You have some explaining to do, then."
