First Date with a Shy Neko; part 4

Hey, was starting to think you weren't going to show up!

I'm teasing, I know you're not the type to ghost, especially someone like me~. Come on, I know a coffee shop we could go to. That sound okay?

You've never had coffee?! What?! Oh, hun, I have so much to show you. [to the tune of willy wonka + the chocolate factory] Come with me, and you'll be, in a world of pure caffenation~

brief pause of travel to coffee shop, maybe a door jingle?

Oh, that's us next! Hi, could I get a small coffee please, black. What'll you get?

Same thing? Okay, make that two black coffees!

You know, I could've suggested something for you, you didn't have to get the *exact* same thing I did. Also, for someone new to coffee you'll probably want to add sugar and milk into it.

Aw, you trust my opinion? How sweet of you!

Another brief pause for waiting for coffee

Alright, we got our coffee, and-- You know what, it's honestly really loud in here, it'd be hard to hear each other. Hmm. Ooh! I have an idea; there's a park nearby with a bench with an AMAZING view, that'd be perfect! How's that sound?

You know, you don't have to just agree to everything I say, you *can* offer up your own suggestions.

What? You-- you don't want to be "wrong"? What's that mean?

You don't want to make me upset? Gosh, you worry too much, this is a date! It's supposed to be relaxed and fun! No harm, no foul. Just two people hanging out together learning about each other.

What? Awwhh, this is the first date you've ever been on? Gosh, that's adorable! Is that why you're so nervous?

God I just want to pinch your cheeks you're so cute~ Well, try not to stress too much, okay sweetheart? You're doing great.

Though, now that I think about it, I'm not sure if coffee was the best idea for your anxiety; don't feel obligated to drink all of it if you don't want to, my treat. Well, anyway, let's get going, okay?

*pause*

You know, it's honestly a nice day outside. Much different than the massive heat we've been having recently. Perfect weather for--[loses train of thought] uh, do you want to hold hands?

Why? Well, your tail's curling around my leg, so I'm assuming that's what you want.

Don't be embarassed, it's cute! Also your tail's *super* soft, feels really nice.

Come on, it's not that hard, just, give me your hand! See? Easy.

Did you *seriously* just ask if you were doing it correctly? The smartest guy i've ever met, in one of the most competitive fields I can think of and you just asked if you were holding hands correctly. It's not that hard. You just.. firmly grasp it.

See? You're doing it! I'd clap if my hands were free.

I'm kidding!

Well, here we are.

It's beautiful? I know right? It's just *perfect*. Get to see all sorts of people walking, jogging by... You okay?

Just lost in thought? Yea, you were looking at--- never mind.

No, no it's okay. Just, noticed something is all.

You're getting distracted by all the birds? That's fine! It's just your little quirk, you know? Besides, i'm sure it'll help you relax a little.

So, whatcha wanna talk about? Please not classes, I've put off homework for this date and I *really* should be doing it.

Why'd I ask you out? Well, for one you're adorable, just... criminally adorable. Super smart, a complete sweetheart, shy--

Yes, being shy is a good thing! Tired of guys being so pushy, you know? I mean, sure it's nice having someone take care of you, but, there's just something about a nice, quiet, shy guy that makes me feel... so warm you know? [sensually] Cause it means that I get to do things like... get really close to you... and almost kiss--

...[act as if you're going to kiss them, listener gets super embarassed]

Aw your face! It's sooo red!! You're too easy to tease; almost makes it a game for me: how much do I have to tease 'kitten' until his face explodes from embarassment~

Oh, another thing I like about you is you're a neko and I've ALWAYS wanted to pet your ears. they look soooooo soft and soooo fluffy and I just want to give you scritchies and hear you purr and nuzzle into me and you'll look at me with those pleading eyes and---

... Oops, did I say the quiet part out loud? *giggles*

Okay okay, I'll stop teasing you, but it's gonna be hard! Your smile is just too precious, you know that?

*pause for time passing*

Well, I have been having an *amazing* time with you, but sadly I have to leave now; gotta get that homework done. I hope you had a great time, too! And, because you were so much fun, *kisses cheek* you get a kiss! See you later!

*pause, looks back*

Is he skipping? *sigh/eyeroll/affectionately* What a dork.
