Again, I own nothing. This is just for fun.

"I should go." Her face was a bright shade of red as the young girl fumbled with her teddy bear and bag, struggling to get up out of her chair.
Havoc's eyes went wide at her embarrasment. He quickly stood, his lips quaking a little. "Sheska." He started, feeling sorry for her now. "Please sit. It's alright." He gave her a comforting smile. "We're pretty much done dinner. At least stay for dessert. We've gotten this far." He shrugged. He didn't mind her company. He was out with a girl. There was a change in pace. "Besides, it's on me." He let himself chuckle a bit at that.
It was quiet for the rest of their meal. The tension was far to much now. It was awkward for them both. Now that they knew the truth. Neither one of them had intended this date. It was all one big set up by a small child who knew no better. Havoc asked for the bill, paid and tipped. Then they stood up to go.
"I'll walk you home."
Sheska hadn't expected that at all. She had thought they'd leave the resturant and then part their seperate ways. "Really?"
"Yeah, we may have been set up. But you're still on a date with Jean Havoc. Jean walks the ladies home."
She quirked and eyebrow. It was late though; dark and late. She'd feel safer with him walking her home. "Thanks."
They walked together, but they made sure to stay a few steps apart. Making sure not to touch. It was a rather silent walk home. With only a few statements said between the two every now and then. Mostly about work. It was only when they got close to Sheska apartment when they brought up Maes' daughter. "I can't believe she'd think to do such a thing." The girl said, still embarrased by it.
"You're telling me." Havoc shook his head.
"She means well."
Havoc looked over at Sheska, studing the eyes behind the thick frames.
"It was nice going out for a change. Usually I sit at home and read til I get to tired to even keep my eyes open." She looked as if she were going to cry. "I'm glad you didn't just walk away when you saw it was me you were going to be spending dinner with."
He honestly didn't know what to say. "Sheska..." They were at her door now. He suddenly didn't want her to go in yet. He wanted to talk some more. Their dinner conversation was ruined. He wanted to start back over. "...you want to walk some more?"
