And the date with Mikey and Clawhauser begins! Prepare for a plethora of fluff cuteness!
Chapter 10: The First 'Date'
It's Saturday in Zootopia and Mikey is just walking around the apartment with his robe on because he just got out of the shower to get himself ready for spending the day with Clawhauser and he just wanted to see if it's either an actual crush or if this is really love. He knows he likes being around Clawhauser and that he's into him a lot, but he's a little nervous about the unknown and the uncertainty that comes with it. He takes a deep breath and just heads to his room and changes out of his robe and puts on his grey boxer briefs, a pair of shorts, a red and blue striped t-shirt and he puts on a baseball cap backwards as he took a good look in the mirror and saw himself looking good.
He then sucks in his guy to make himself look muscular and good looking and then...he hears his stomach growl that indicates that he's a little hungry and it wouldn't be right to have something to eat before going out. Just then, he receives a call on his phone and Clawhauser's name popped in as he answered the phone and he said, "Hey, Benji."
"Hey, Mikey! How's my favorite panda doing?" asked Clawhauser, on the other end of the line.
Mikey responds with a chuckle and said, "Pretty good, I guess. I'm just getting ready. How about you?"
"I'm getting ready too. We can just head to the park and just hang out, maybe get some sweets on the way." Clawhauser responded.
"I like the idea. I'll meet you at the apartment in a few minutes." Mikey responded.
"I'll be there!" Clawhauser replied, giggling.
Hearing Clawhauser giggle made Mikey's heart flutter a lot and he almost burst out a giggle himself and said, "Great! I'll catch you later!"
"Alrighty, Mikey! B to the Claw is out!" Clawhauser responded.
Mikey blinked his eyes in response to that, but he just smiled at it because whatever comes out of Clawhauser's mouth is both cute and funny at the same time and said, "You're funny."
"I said it again, didn't I?" asked Clawhauser, sounding a little embarrassed.
"Yeah, but it's okay." Mikey answered.
Several minutes later, Mikey got on his car, placed the keys on the ignition, started it up and headed straight for Clawhauser's apartment while he cranks up the volume on the radio listening to the new track from Alessia Cougar, 'Scars to Your Beautiful' and just singing along to it along the way until he reached to the apartment complex and sees Clawhauser wearing a vintage Gazelle T-shirt and some basketball shorts as the cheetah waves at him.
Clawhauser immediately makes his way to the car and sits on the front seat as they take a ride across the city and listen to the radio along the way. The DJ then announced, "That's the new one from Alessia Cougar called, 'Scars to Your Beautiful'. Such a true statement! This girl is gonna go places one day and win some Grazzies in her future! And so are these guys too, here's 'Stressed Out' from Twenty-One Falcons!"
"I love this song!" Clawhauser exclaimed, with glee.
"Me too!" Mikey answered, as well.
Both of them were rapping and singing along to the song as they head over towards the town and it was just a great thing; two officers working at the ZPD just hanging out on a Saturday afternoon, not even thinking about work, exercise and a whole lot of action at least until Monday. Mikey looks at Clawhauser for a second and when he sees his fur blowing through the breeze, it's like he saw a very chubby angel sitting right next to him and he turns back to the road, just sighing in content.
Clawhauser was also looking at Mikey and there seems to be a sort of an attraction between the panda and just by looking at him, it's an unexplainable feeling that he can't describe in words and he's really looking forward to this 'date' with Mikey. The first place they went is at the park and they just took a few walks around as they just talk, giggle and take loads of selfies together...even one with where Mikey has his lips close to Clawhauser's cheek...as a little teaser.
Soon enough, Mikey brought in a picnic table filled with everything under the sun; teriyaki chicken, noodles, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and doughnuts. The sight of doughnuts definitely made Clawhauser's mouth water and his heart skipping a beat as they ate everything in sight. Both Clawhauser and Mikey devoured three dozen doughnuts like it was no one's business and Clawhauser asked, "You always know my doughnut love, do you?"
"Why not? They say a way to a friend's heart is through his stomach and love for doughnuts." Mikey replied, eating some doughnuts.
"Good enough for me!" Clawhauser said, eating three pieces of doughnuts.
Before long, they laid down on the picnic blanket with their stomachs bulging from all the doughnuts they ate and Clawhauser had some crumbs on his cheeks and parts of it on his chin and whiskers while Mikey had some jelly filling on his lips and Mikey said, "Those were good doughnuts."
"Yeah...I'm so full I can't even feel my pants." Clawhauser added.
Clawhauser grunts as he tried to sit himself back up and as he did, he lets out a very small fart and he just froze after that one toot and said, "Excuse me."
"Tell me about it...I can barely move." Mikey agreed, burping.
"But...I think this is probably the best date ever." Clawhauser said, smiling at Mikey.
Mikey chuckles as he laid down flat on his stomach, full from all the chicken and doughnuts and replied, "Yeah, best way to spend a Saturday afternoon."
If you thought that was cute, wait till you see what else happens!
