Out on the Town

[punchesyu]

Who: Nariko and Yosuke
What: A movie date!
When: Some ambiguous time before the hazing starts
Where: The theater, and beyond
Warnings: Idk it's a movie stuff that happens at movies

[There's a few knocks at the door to Nariko's place, the boy arriving on time just as he said he would. He's dressed in something rather trendy, with a light jacket for the weather. He waits patiently, fidgeting a little bit as he thinks of how he's going to approach this, reassuring himself that it'll be great. He has all these expectations of how it will go, thought of some smooth moves he could pull later on her, the whole nine yards. He's got this. He absolutely has this.

But now it's a matter of execution! Either way, he stands confidently for her to answer the door so they could go to the movie and have some fun out on the town.]

[Now she acknowledges it. He's confused all over again now, but he shakes it off for the moment. Someone needs to come along and give him a book on this because he needs to read it. It might be the only book he's actually interested in reading, and he gets the feeling he'd get incredibly confused and irritated trying to wade through it.]

Yeah, Garnet seriously freaks me out sometimes. I feel like she'd be able to punch me right through a wall. And I don't even really know her.

[Not that he doubts that she's amazing or anything, but that lady could probably kill him.]

[People say romantic things all the time, though! It doesn't mean their intent was romantic! She honestly figures he's just talking about them meeting as friends! Honesty and asking straightforward questions are really the best policy, Yosuke.

... But even though she's well aware of how Garnet can be, she has to stop herself from overreacting.] She'd never do something like that, she's all about the music. I don't even think she believes in violence.

[She wags a finger as they continue to make their way along.] Now, me? I'm a little different. But I'm also relatively small.

[Especially compared to Garnet. Nariko's curvy so she's still full figured but ... You can't be intimidating at 5'4. You just can't.]

[punchesyu]

[He laughs, because he can't help it. She was short, there's no doubt about that. He doesn't tower over her, but the extra five inches doesn't hurt.]

You know what they say, the smaller dogs are way more vicious! [He doesn't even think about it, it's way too funny.]

[gunslingerqueen]

Short people are closer to hell, [Dramatic pause!!!] but the best things also come in small packages! We're essentially the best of everything.

[Also the worst, if they're following cultural sayings and all that.]

At least I know the difference between good biting and bad biting.

[punchesyu]

[Now that was suggestive, and he doesn't miss that. His face gets a little red when she says it too, letting his imagination wander a little. This girl is for real...! he thinks, stumbling on what to say.]

Y-Yeah? Biting isn't all that bad, you know, if you do it right...

[Is that what he meant to say? He had no idea what to say, he sounded smooth maybe? He doesn't know. It just came out of his mouth. Someone help.]

[gunslingerqueen]

Whaaat! [He's really gone and surprised her this time!! She gives him a wide eyed, impressed look.]

So you really - [And then far more quietly, as if anyone would give a shit about the two of them wandering around the park:] You're really into that?

[He was smooth enough to convince her he might be telling her the truth!]

[punchesyu]

I mean, I...!

[He could be into it if she wanted him to be, that's for sure. Even if pain really wasn't his thing.]

T-That's getting a little personal! ...I guess I could give it a shot, no harm in that right? [He laughs nervously again. This is not an area he is comfortable with, at all. Not on the first date-not-date!]

[gunslingerqueen]

Fair enough. [She lets go of it as easily as she latched, to be honest.] Still, that's impressive! Open-minded guys are my favorite.

[That one was on purpose but she only feels slightly bad about putting the words out there.] Okay, okay, a safer topic now!

[Which will be !!] Favorite band that's not your own?

[punchesyu]

[He's glad for the subject change, but it was a little encouraging to hear that from her either way. He lets the whole biting thing go, and instead groans when she asks him about his favorite band.]

You can't ask me something like that...there's so many I can't keep track of them all.

[Along with the plethora of composers he likes who make bomb-ass movie soundtracks.]

[gunslingerqueen]

Top five!

[She lets go of his arm to up onto an empty bench, walking along it with all the maturity of, well. An eighteen-year-old kid!]

You've got to have some favorites, and it's what you like best that says the most about a person!
