AN~ Inspired by the song "when words fail" from Shrek the musical. I adore this song and I think it fits the first date dilemma perfectly. I DO NOT OWN THIS SONG AT ALL!

Yusuke stood outside Keiko's house with a lily and a stomach full of knots. What if he wasn't what she thought he would be? What if she was the issue? No matter what, I'll be charming and suave. He thought, imagining himself like Kurama, opening her door for her and kissing her hand when she opened the door, offering the flower like a priceless gem. Yeah, I can do that!

Yusuke raised his fist to knock on the door, but stopped short. But what do I say?! He thought, slumping against her door. Do I compliment her a lot? Do I talk about Demon World, hoping she'll understand? Do I let her do all the talking? He sighs and sits there for a moment, head in his hands.

Keiko sat on her bed in her room, appling her 3rd dose of lipstick before changing her heels to flats for the seventh time that night. She was nervous for the date tonight too. She didn't want to bore Yusuke the entire time with talking, but she couldn't come up with a conversation starter! I could say, "Hey Yusuke! How are those Demons treating you!" she thought, grasping the first thing about she knew about Yusuke. No way! He wouldn't want to talk about that! He doesn't want to think about it.

She walked downstairs, wanting to just get this date over with. She just couldn't grasp why this was giving her so much trouble! She knew Yusuke for years! How could she not come up with something to talk about!

She leaned against the front door, wondering if he was having the same problem. If he is, this is going to be one quiet date... She thought before running to the bathroom to check her makeup one more time.

Now

Yusuke sits here, still trying to come up with something quick and easy to say to Keiko. Screw it, I'll just compliment her dress or something. He thinks, before getting up and walking up to Keiko's door, and knocking.

He hears a lot of shuffling, and quite a lot of swearing on Keiko's part, before the door opened. Keiko stands there smiling, in a white blouse and black leggings. Crap! He thought. I have to think of something fast!

"I...I got you this flower." He says, shoving it in front of himself. "It reminded me of you."

"Why?" she asks, taking it from him and smelling it.

Good question. He thinks, trying to come up with a reason. "It's...um...Pretty-Beautiful, but strong."

"Thank you." She says, her face coloring. "I feel bad, I don't have anything to give you."

"I'm a guy, you don't have to give-." Suddenly, Keiko stops Yusuke's rambling by pressing a kiss to his lips. After he gets over his shock, he kisses back, smiling into her lips.

I guess you don't really need words. Yusuke thinks to himself as he grabs her hand and leads her to his car, determined to give her the best date of her life.
