You were excited to go to your date with Aradia, you didn't know how to dress; you asked Nepeta. She told you to just where your normal clothes, but it was a bit chilly, so you wore a black t-shirt and jeans. She told you to relax, but that was very hard to do. You feared that she would figure out that this was a just a mistake and that you really were a freak. You knew for a fact that she would figure it out at one point in time, but you were just happy that you finally got a chance with someone. No one ever really cared about you or your looks, so she must have thought something of you since she did ask you out. That was horribly overwhelming for you. You both decided to meet at the park, you got there only fifteen minutes early, it gave you time to think until she arrived. She wore a nice, pretty summer dress and she looked great and you felt very lucky to be on a date with her.
"H-hello," You muttered out as you gave her a weak smile.
"Hello, Equius," she smiled much bigger than you, but then again, she didn't have cracked teeth from holding your breath when people were making fun of you.
"D-did you plan something or..?" You asked, as she sat down next to you on the bench.
"Nope!" She laughed at herself a little, "I figured we should wing it." She said, as she took your hand in hers, intertwining your fingers; your hands were sweaty. You hoped she didn't mind.
"Did you want to talk about something first?" You asked as you remember the question you had for her. She thought for a moment before asking something.
"Are you gay?" You blinked a few times trying to comprehend where that question came from.
That kiss with Karkat.
"I'm not." Lies, you had figured out maybe half way through last week that you did enjoy the company of a male, as you thought about the kiss with both Karkat and her. "It was a dare, and he simply wouldn't let me back out." She nodded; she understood.
"Did you like it?" She asked and, honestly, after the whole thing was over, and you were home where no one would bother you, you masturbated to the thought of it. You enjoyed the thought that someone was needy for you, although you would never tell her that, ever. You thought it was foolish to even do the act without a partner.
"No," You lied, you weren't very good at it but you knew the factor that she probably couldn't tell.
"Well that's good, I really didn't want to have to lose my date to a guy," She said as she smiled at you and kissed your lips lightly, nothing too serious.
"Did you enjoy the kiss with, uh, me?" You asked as you played with the ring on your finger, you were crazy nervous about this date.
"Of course I did!" She kept that beautiful smile on her face and then she really kissed you, you happily kissed back, chirping softly. You felt so alive at the moment and so very happy because you were kissing someone who liked you; it felt like true heaven to know that someone even cared about you in a way that wasn't platonic. You daringly licked her lips and as she slowly opened her mouth, you felt so accomplished, you moved to lick at her tongue before she pulled away.
"W-what?" You were panting lightly and you found it foolish from such a small heated moment, if you could even call it that. She giggled a little at you as you tried to hide your panting.
"I think we should at least date first before we start making out," Your eyes widen behind your shades, she wanted to date you. You could feel your stomach twist in you, this day was getting better and better, but shoot, when do you ask out girls? Vantas went out with Pyrope, right? You would ask him later, you would need to ask Nepeta for his Pester name.
"Well, would you like to get something to eat?" You asked, you remembered bring your wallet. You didn't want to have her pay for anything, it was nicer this way.
"Sure, Equius." she pecked your lips as you smiled and stood, she stood right after you, your hand still intertwined with hers'.
"Do you know anywhere near here?" You asked as you look down at her, she smiled and drug you to a small diner.
The date went fairly well, you thought. You liked spending that time with her and you were in no rush for anything too special. Nepeta asked you about it afterwards over Skype. She told you that the whole time you talked about her, you wouldn't stop smiling. You were really surprised that she even liked you and you couldn't get over that. You remembered you needed advice and quickly asked for Vantas' Pester, she gave you a confused looked before typing you a message with his Pester name.
It was maybe an hour after your Skype call, you Pester Vantas. It wasn't a very long until he asked you what you needed. The conversation went like this:
CT: D- I need dating advice.
CG: SOMEONE WANTS TO DATE YOU?
CT: D- Yes.
CG: WELL *SINCE* I AM THE ROMANCE EXPERT, I WOULD SUGGEST GETTING THEM FLOWERS OR CHOCOLATE. I KNOW I WOULD LIKE THAT.
CT: D- When do I ask them out again?
CG: MOST PEOPLE WAIT THREE DAYS, BUT GIRLS DON'T REALLY LIKE THAT.
CT: D- What would you suggest?
CG: WELL, GO TO THEM ON THE SECOND DAY (THEIR HOUSE FYI DUMBASS), FLOWERS IN HAND (ROSES, ROSES ARE SO FUCKING ROMANTIC), TELL THEM THAT YOU HAD SUCH A FUN TIME WITH THEM AND YOU WANT TO CONTINUE SEEING THEM BUT AS MORE, LIKE AS YOUR BOYFRIEND.
CG: *GIRLFRIEND
CT: D- That sounds like a good plan.
CG: I KNOW.
CT: D- Is there anything I shouldn't do?
CG: SWEAT.
CT: D- Fiddlesticks.
The conversation did not hold any value to you afterwards, Vantas started to ask about who it was with and you gave him short and simple answers. You did not find him all that important, you needed him now and that was all.
You still thought about him at moments, about the kiss you both shared. You didn't know why you kept thinking of it, or why it even mattered to you. You touched your lips lightly, you thought about how he kissed you compared to Aradia, He was eager and almost thirsty for you, where Aradia was slow and patient; you did not know which one you liked more. You thought that you would like Aradia's more, since you have been flushed for her for a very long time, but there was something different with Vantas. You couldn't put your finger on it. You tried to keep it out of your head.
You were almost asleep when you heard your Pester go off, you grabbed your phone and checked it. Vantas.
CG: HEY, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.
CT: D- What is it?
CG: WELL, UH, GOD THIS SOUNDS REALLY FUCKING AWKWARD BUT
CG: DO YOU REALLY LIKE ARADIA?
CT: D- Yes. Why do you ask?
CG: NO REASON.
You stared at the message for moments, why would he ask such a question? You thought it was odd for him to ask a question like that with no reasoning behind it.
CT: D- May I ask you something then?
CG: SURE WHY THE FUCK NOT.
CT: D- Why did you kiss me so… eagerly?
You went to bed waiting for an answer.
