Prompt: The New Normal: Bravid's first date. David being a romantic?
David straightened his tie once more before taking a last look in the mirror. He was getting ready for his first date with Bryan, the man he'd just a met a week before at the club. He was actually kind of nervous; he'd never really been on a serious date before. Once or twice in high school, this mostly consisted of going to the movies, holding hands, and munching on popcorn. Not a lot of talking or…dating.
His glasses sat at the edge of the counter. David contemplated whether or not to wear them, he didn't really need them too much, and he could always wear his contacts. He shrugged deciding not to, Bryan had commented several times about how he liked his eyes without them.
Grabbing his jacket, he headed out the door. David climbed in his small car tossing his jacket into the passenger seat. He took a deep breath as he started the car; he was ready for his date.
Bryan sat at the table he'd reserved for him and David. He twiddled his thumbs nervously. Bryan had never been so antsy about a simple date before, as example at the club where he'd met David, but there was just something about him.
He'd never once believed in love at first sight, nothing could develop so quickly, but he was beginning to think maybe there was love at first…week was it. Ever since that night, he hadn't been able to get the blue-eyed sweetheart out of his head. And he knew this time, with David, was different.
Bryan shifted in his seat and smiled when he saw David walk into the restaurant. He wore a simple black suit, and he looked absolutely dashing.
David responded with a smile once he saw him. "Hey," Bryan began casually.
"Hey," David replied. Before he sat down, the other man reached into his jacket and pulled out a simple red rose and held it out to Bryan.
"For you," David said suavely. Bryan stared at him wide eyed, and then taking the flower.
"W-Well thank you, David, I didn't get you anything," he stuttered.
"No worries," he chuckled. Bryan blinked, relaxing a little; he gave him a sweet smile and thanked him again.
There date went by just as perfect (and maybe even more) as Bryan as hoped. He was able to get to know David more. And he also learned that for such a shy person, David was hopelessly kind and romantic, pulling several tricks during dinner.
After almost 2 and half hours, David had pointed out that it was late, and that he had work tomorrow. Though, Bryan didn't want the night to end, he knew that his job called for him in the morning also.
Bryan respectfully paid for the dinner, after jokingly beating David to it by handing the waiter his credit card first.
"I had a wonderful time tonight," David said as the stood next to Bryan's car outside.
"I did too; we definitely need to do this again. Let's say next Friday," Bryan suggested.
"It's a date."
"Well, second date to be exact." The two laughed, and then stood in a small silence. Just as Bryan was about to say goodbye he felt David's lips on his own. He froze for just a moment, before relaxing and returning the kiss quickly.
They pulled apart; a light pink blush was spread across David's cheeks. "I'll see you next Friday," he added, slightly breathless.
"Next Friday," Bryan repeated, before giving him a quick peck on the lips and saying goodbye.
