Theo should have known by the off the cuffedness of the date that Blaise was not who he was supposed to be meeting up with. But he had all the right features. The dark hair and eyes, the tanned Italian complexion, the well muscled body. Plus he was carrying the red rose with him. His blind date had said he'd be carrying a red rose.

Not to mention that Blaise didn't say a word about not being the right person until now. Thoe couldn't believe it. He replayed the evenings events over in his mind like a movie reel at a Muggle cinema.


Pansy had walked with him to the Leaky Cauldron to meet up with his blind date. That way if Theo didn't end up liking the guy, Pansy could walk over and make a scene. Then he'd get out of going on the date.

"You're going to be fine," Pansy assured Theo, putting a hand on his shoulder. "What's the worst that could happen? You don't like it, you just end the date and start looking again."

"Easy for you to say," Theo sighed. "You're a girl. You're supposed to be looking at good looking Pureblood men and making plans for them. What good Pureblood boy is going to bring home another boy to his mother?"

"You."

"Pansy, you're not helping."

Pansy's eyes widened as she stared over his head. A pang of fear stabbed through Theo's chest. What if it was someone they didn't? Someone with a grudge against Purebloods or Slytherins?

"I think that's him," Pansy said, mouth watering as she gawked at his date. Leave it Pansy to let you know exactly what she's thinking at a time like this. "He's got the rose and everything." She turned Theo around and pointed to the doorway of the Leaky Cauldron.

Theo felt the air go out of his lungs. Not that he didn't know that Blaise dated both girls and boy, he'd known that for some time now. He just didn't think, if Blaise had a type, that he would be said type.

Blue eyes traveled up the well toned and muscled body of his schoolhood friend. Blaise had grown very attractive in the time between graduating and now. Theo knew he spent most his time traveling back and forth between England and Italy helping his mother move house yet again. But the effects it had on his tan were more delicious than the effects Blaise's working out had on his body.

"Are you supposed to wait for that until you see how the night goes?" Pansy asked, raising her eyebrows and giggling at Theo's body's betrayal of him. "Why don't you go take care of that and I'll keep him company until you get back?"

"You're a lifesaver Pansy," Theo said, racing off to the bathroom.


Blaise just wanted to get a quick drink and then head back to his apartment and his cat. He'd left Mr. Whiskers in the company of his next door neighbor for too long. Poor thing was probably wearing one of those hand knitted sweaters she loved to foist on him.

"Blaise," a familiar voice called out to him, signaling that he wasn't going to be going home any time soon, "I need a favor."

He turned towards the sound of the voice to find Pansy Parkinson standing right next to him. The girl had changed a lot since their school years together. She'd gotten prettier that was for sure.

"What can I do for you, Pansy?" he asked, watching her suspiciously. They'd dated back in fifth year before he'd come out as bisexual. More like before she'd outed him in public by walking in on him and the boy he had been cheating on her with but that didn't matter now. "You aren't still mad about fifth year, are you?"

Pansy sarcastically raised her eyebrow at him and folded her arms over her chest. "What do you think?" she asked.

"I'll take that as a yes. So, why do you need my help?"

"I tried setting Theo up on a blind date and the guy totally flaked on me, last minute." She sighed knowing that she was going to regret doing this. "It would be very helpful to me if you could maybe pretend to be Theo's blind date." She pointed towards the bar where a tall man stood fidgeting.

Blaise stared in shock. Theo had changed so much since their time in the Slytherin dormitory. The once stocky boy was now well built and more muscled than Blaise could have imagined him being. The blond hair was cut in one of those Muggle buzz cuts that Blaise found more sexy than ever. The blue eyes were the things that pulled him in. Full of fear and concern.

"Fine," he said. "But only because I feel sorry for the poor sod."

"Good," Pansy said, placing a rose in his hands, "because I already kind of told him you were his date." She led Blaise over to where Theo stood. "I'll just leave you two to it then. Have fun but not too much fun." She winked at Theo, who turned a vivid pink.

Once Pansy had wandered off, Blaise realized that they were still standing there awkwardly at the bar. He looked around for an empty table and not finding one he turned to Theo.

"Do you maybe want to get out of here and go mini golfing or something like that?" he asked, swallowing the lump in his throat at how close Theo was. How attractive Theo had gotten? Not to mention how close Theo was.

"I'd love that," Theo said nervously. "Is that what you have planned for our first date or is it some sort of adventure?"

"An adventure, of course. When you're like us you've got to live on the adventurous side, don't you?"

Theo sucked his bottom lip between his teeth and then nodded nervously.

"Don't worry," Blaise chuckled. "Stick with me kid and you'll have fun."


"So how do we do this?" Theo asked, looking at the club that Blaise was holding out to him. "I've never done this before."

"You've never been to a Muggle mini putt before?" Blaise asked, shocked. "It's one of the most popular first date spots ever."

"That's just it. I've never been on many first dates."

Blaise smiled as he took Theo's hand and led him towards the first hole of the game. "You have to take the club like this," he said, placing it the correct way in Theo's hand. "Get the grip just right." He thought for a second. "It's riding a broom. You have to have a gentle yet firm grip on the club."

"Like this?" Theo asked as he showed Blaise the way he was gripping the club.

"Loosen your fingers up a bit. You're gripping too tight."

Theo's face went pink again at the mention of gripping it too tight. He nervously chuckled as he loosened his grip.

"That's it." Blaise moved so he was standing behind Theo. Taking Theo's hips he gently corrected the blond's stance, allowing his fingers to slowly travel over the muscles of Theo's upper body as moved to encircle the other boy in his arms. "You swing like this." He moved along with Theo blushing when the movement started the familiar stirring. "Why don't you try on your own?"

Theo nodded, getting into the stance that Blaise had shown him, wishing for the feel of Blaise's hands on his body again. He pulled the club back and whacked the ball as hard as he could.

The little orange ball went flying halfway across the mini gold course, causing people to scream and duck in cover. Theo felt his face red in embarrassment. He wanted to make a good impression on Blaise. Bad impressions definitely didn't get you a second date, or at least that was what Pansy said.

"Next time try a little less force," Blaise leaned close and whispered in Theo's ear, "and a little more wand."

They were doing great and having after that. That is until one of the mini golf employees, a Squib, caught them doing magic to cheat. Who knew you could be thrown out of mini golf for using magic to cheat.

Theo laughed and laughed as Blaise led him away from the tower castle that stood as the mini golf's check in place. Blaise liked the way that Theo's smile lit up his face when he laughed.

"Where to next tour guide of fun?" Theo asked jokingly.

Blaise wracked his mind for places they could. Where did Muggles guys take their dates? Two places immediately came to mind from Muggle Studies class. Dinner and the movies.

"How would you feel about getting some food?" Blaise asked.

"Food is good," Theo said, giggling. "I like food."

Blaise remembered that much from their Hogwarts days. He remembered fondly how the fourth year Slytherin boys had had a hot dog eating contest in the dorm. That's when he first got the inkling that he might be bisexual.

"I remember," he said. "Italian good with you?"

"Sure."


Theo sighed yet again as the waitress giggled at something that Blaise had said. She had been making it pretty clear that the only person she was paying attention to at the table was Blaise. He was getting a tad bit annoyed at this Muggle wench.

"See, Mica, I'm here on a date," Blaise told her, "and we'll have a bowl of the special to split between us. That is if it's alright with you, love?" Blaise reached across the table and laced his finger through Theo's hand.

"More than fine with me, darling."

The girl glared at Theo and then went off to put in the order. Theo started giggle again as Blaise stroked his hand. There was definitely something there, right? The sparks he was feeling weren't just in his imagination. After all, Blaise Zabini could have any boy or girl in the world that he wanted. He wouldn't stick around with someone if they weren't the right choice.

"I don't think she liked you," Blaise pointed out.

"I think I agree but I do think she liked you." Theo looked at their entwined hands and then back into Blaise's eyes. "You could have anybody in the world that you wanted, why would you choose someone like me?"

Blaise smirked as he leaned across the table. "Because you're sexy," he said, pressing a kiss to Theo's lips. "The way your face lights up when you laugh and smile changes the way it looks." Another kiss, this time more passionate. "Did I mention you're sexy?"

Theo giggled blushing. "You might have mentioned it once already," he stuttered nervously. The tingling that started from their entwined hands moving towards his whole body.

The rest of the meal passed pleasantly. The waitress had asked to be taken off Theo and Blaise's table and the waiter that replaced her was much more nicer. The food was delicious or at least Theo thought so.

"Here try this," Blaise said, holding out a fork full of mussels.

"What is it?" Theo asked.

"Mussels. They are my absolute favorite. You have to try them." When Theo made no move to take the fork Blaise smiled. "Just close your eyes and open your mouth. Trust me."

Closing his eyes and opening his mouth, Theo felt the fork enter his mouth. The salty, tangy taste of marinara along with the salty sea taste of the mussels made him hum in enjoyment.

"This is amazing," Theo exclaimed.

After dinner Blaise took Theo to a movie which they didn't get to see all the way through. They were thrown out for being too loud and making out in the back row of the theater.

"What now?" Theo asked, watching Blaise.

"I think we should call it a night, don't you?"

"Why?"

"We don't want to blow all the fun things on the first date, now do we?" Blaise chuckled at the disappointed look on Theo's face.

"But I'm having so much fun."

Blaise had to admit he was having fun too. He laced his fingers through Theo's as he walked the blond home. He had to be honest with Theo though, the other man deserved the honesty and Blaise hated lying.

"I have to be honest with you about something," Blaise said suddenly, stopping midstep and turning to Theo.

"About what?" Theo asked in fear. This was what he was afraid of when allowing Pansy to set him up on a blind date. That the guy would only pretend to like him and not actually like him at all.

"Theo, I'm not really your blind date," Blaise admitted.

"What?"

"Pansy asked me to go out with you because your blind date that you were supposed to meet up with flaked out on you both." He saw Theo's face go disappointed. "But I had such a great time with you, love. I would do this over again in a heartbeat."

"You would?"

"I would." He leaned close to Theo and brushed his lips against the other boys. "I would love to take you on a proper first date. One that isn't impromptu and thrown together at the last minute. If that's alright with you?"

"Pick me up here tomorrow at six then?"

"It's a date."

Blaise watched as Theo walked dreamily up to his front door. He would have to get on planning their next date adventure, now wouldn't he?

I hope you all enjoyed Adventure Date as much as I enjoyed writing it. Theo and Blaise are so fun to write together. They are goals!
