"Come on," Veronica half whined. "We're already late!"

Curtis stubbornly kept his grip on the steering wheel as she tugged at his arm. They were already parked and she managed to unbuckle his seatbelt but getting him out of the driver's side was proving to be more trouble than she thought.

"You can walk in anytime," Curtis calmly said. "I'll wait ten minutes in case it's going badly."

"Ok that last part is sweet," she admitted, "but I'm not going anywhere without you because it's a double date."

"You should have no problem with conversation seeing as you've been flirting with my so called date for the past two weeks."

"I was flirting as you. He's not going to like my humor."

"I still can't believe you made me an online dating profile."

"Just trust me Curtis. I -"

Curtis shook his head. "You completely did something that makes me question my trust in you."

"Look, matching making is in my blood."

"That's what you said when you introduced me to Roy."

Veronica lightly winced. "Ok, for the record, he usually doesn't wear his hair like that."

"He looked like a rooster!"

"I can't do anything about false advertising!" Veronica crouched down to grip his arm. "I went digital spy this time Curt. I Facebook stalked and followed his parkcour YouTube channel." Pause. "Speaking of that, you're a big fan of his work. It might come up in conversation."

Curtis dropped his forehead against the steering wheel. He turned his head so he could look at her.

"You're not going to go without me huh?"

"Not even for the bathroom."

He groaned out loud. She jumped up in victory. He got out, straightened his polo shirt and locked his car.

"Let me see it."

"What?"

"My profile."

"You don't really need to -"

"Oh yes I do or else I'm going back to my car."

She tutted but pulled out her phone as they walked. "Keep in mind, a dating profile's like a cv. Gotta...tweak a few things to get the right point across."

Curtis took her phone, his brows furrowing as he read the profile.

"Why would you say I do yoga?"

Veronica merely pushed up her glasses with a little grin.

"...Oh god Roni."

"I was just trying to add more hobbies to your repertoire."

"Then put rock collecting!"

"That's not sexy."

"Or even gardening would have been better."

"It's just for fun Curtis. Besides, from what I've seen you're plenty flexible."

"Stop talking. Please."

They walked inside the coffee shop. There was a small group in front of them looking at who knew what. Veronica took her phone back and then smoothed Curtis' collar down.

"Your date is twenty five years old. A leap year baby. He's got silver hair, gorgeous gray eyes and a scar across the bridge of his nose from a flight accident."

"A commercial accident or he's a pilot?" Curtis asked without thinking.

Veronica withheld the urge to crow. "He's an ex-pilot. Japanese descent." She looked around Curtis. "And it looks like he's sitting by the window over on the right."

Curtis turned around. The group was no longer in the way. There was no way to miss that guy's hair. He walked forward automatically. The man was taking off his leather jacket and placing it on the back of his chair. He suddenly halted in his steps as he recognized the lion outline on the back of the jacket.

Curtis looked to his side but Veronica was missing. Right there he realized what was happening. There was no double date. She had him completely fooled.

"Hey."

Curtis looked forward again. His date had a nice smile on his face but then his black eyebrows raised upwards suddenly.

"I'm the guy that hit you," Curtis filled in for him. "I can go."

"Why?"

"I hit you," Curtis said in disbelief. "With my car. And damaged your arm."

He waved it off. "I'm getting a better one next week. I can still grip with it."

"I don't do yoga."

"What?"

"On my profile it says I - That wasn't me. My friend made it and pretended to be me and set this up. I wasn't the one flirting with you. I don't even know your name."

"Shiro's what I go by. And honestly," there was light laughter in his voice, "I don't know your name either."

"...So then you didn't -"

"My younger brother made the profile for me and then told me this morning I had a coffee date in the afternoon." Shiro brought his hand up to rest his chin on. "He said I needed to get out more. And the brat knew I would feel bad if I stood them up. All he gave me was a picture."

"So then..." a small smile started to form on Curtis' face, "my friend and your brother have been flirting with each other for two weeks thinking that they were hitting on us?"

"Yeah. Pretty much."

Curtis put his hand over his mouth. Shiro's eyes glimmered with amusement. He pulled out his phone and held it up for Curtis to see.

"I wrestled Keith into giving me the password. Want to see what they wrote?"

"Yes. I really do," Curtis laughed. He sat down next to him. "I'm Curtis, by the way."

"Nice to meet you."

They looked at the first set of flirtatious messages through the dating site.

"Oh Keith," Shiro groaned. "The 'yee' to my 'haw' isn't a thing."

Curtis covered his face momentarily. "God Roni. They didn't actually think these lines worked did they?"

Across the street a nineteen year old with messy black haired was peering through some binoculars.

"How's it going?"

Keith looked over at Veronica. "They're still sitting next to each other."

"Told ya kid. Nothing brings people together like a common enemy."

They clinked glasses.

Sooo Roy in this story is the guy in the leaked wedding photo but apparently some people call him rooster boy because of his hair (cough paladinquen cough). Just wanted to have some fun with it. XD

I'll make the next prompt First Kiss the last chapter and then probably do one shots for the rest of the prompts.

Au/Tropes: coffee shop (kind of?), fake double date
