Finally Masky came back with their food and told them to enjoy their meal, and Slenderman immediately grabbed the cage full of small children and the children vanished leaving nothing but an empty, sudenly rusty cage.
Jeff watched interested while biting at his steak. Slenderman then brought the glass of water up to his face and sort of splashed it onto himself, and the water was absorbed into his face.
"Weird." Jeff commented.
Slenderman put the glass down and tilted his head. "What do you mean?" He asked.
"Well I was wondering how you'd drink and stuff with no face. It's weird." Jeff replied.
Slenderman didn't say anything but looked embarrassed again. Jeff cursed internally why did he keep embarrassing Slendy like that? He was being so rude.
"Sorry, I don't mean to offend you or anything." Jeff replied.
"It's fine."
After a while Jeff said, "So are you having a nice time?"
"I am indifferent toward the date we are having." Slenderman replied. Jeff frowned.
"Uh...oh. Okay."
The rest of the date was incredibly awkward and largely filled with silence. They shared a dessert which Slenderman ate weirdly and paid the bill, then they left. Slenderman drove him home and when Jeff got out, Jeff rubbed his arm nervously.
"...Sorry I messed up the date." Jeff said.
When Slenderman didn't say anything, he turned around to walk back into his home, and bumped into Slenderman, who had appeared in front of him.
"Huh?" Jeff said.
It was quiet for a moment and then Slenderman spoke.
"Do not be sorry...it was my fault. Truth be told I was nervous, more nervous than I've ever felt...in fact I can't think of a time where I've been nervous. I guess I messed it up...I apologize." Slenderman admitted, looking down. Jeff chuckled.
"This whole time I thought I was boring you! I was nervous too, don't worry about it...I still liked being around you, anyway." Jeff replied.
Slenderman looked up at him, peering into his eyes.
"I...I enjoyed being in your presence as well." Slendrman replied.
Jeff tilted his head. "Really?"
"Yes."
"I'm...I'm glad...to be honest I was thinking you must have hated being on the date especially since you said you were indifferent..."
"I was indifferent...about the date. Not about you. Being around you makes me...happy, I think." Slenderman replied. Jeff blushed furiously, his face reddening beneath the creepy white glow.
"I...Being around you makes me happy too..."
They stared at each other for a moment and thenb Slenderman leaned down and pressed his face to Jeff's, something akin to a kiss eeven though Slendermna didn't have lips. Jeff blushed even harder if that was even possible and he wrapped his arms around Slenderman's spindly neck, pressing his lips to the smooth skin of Slenderman's face.
