Andrew restlessly tapped the restaurant table restlessly and clenched his teeth together. His date was supposed to meet him here fifteen minutes ago and Andrew was starting to assume that his date was standing him up. Five more minutes and he would leave he decided.

Luckily the next minute, a black haired man came stumbling into the restaurant and Andrew crossed his arms and fixed him with a glare. "Uh...hi. You must be Andrew. I am soooo sorry, my car broke down and so I had to walk all the way here. I honest to god didn't mean to be late."

Andrew huffed, rolled his eyes and snatched his coat, starting to leave the restaurant. "Wait! I'm sorry! Please don't go."

Andrew turned around and crossed his arms once more. "I have been on a dozen dates like this where the other is late and has some lame excuse for me when they arrive. When I go on a date with another person it is not much to ask for to receive the human decency for the other to arrive on time-" Danny opened his mouth to argue before Andrew shot it down. "-or to pick up a damn phone and call me to say you'll be late, or reschedule. And if you didn't have my number, then you could have called our mutual friend who set this damned thing up and get it from them."

Danny's fight left him immediately and he sagged. "Please. Give me another chance. You're right. That was a shitty thing to do and I'm sorry."

Andrew stared at Danny for a moment before sighing and sitting down. "Fine.

Danny let out a relieved sigh and sat down as well. Taking a deep breath, he tried to start a civil conversation. "So...Andrew. What do you enjoy to do?"

Andrew clenched his teeth spoke through them. "Reading. And Writing."

Danny blinked at the continued aggressiveness and spoke awkwardly. "That's pretty cool. What do you write? And is there anything else you like to do?"

"Nothing interesting. And no. That's about it."

Danny tapped his fingers in annoyance but tried not to get angry at Andrew's snippy comments. "Alright...What do you for a living?"

Suddenly, it seemed as Andrew got even angrier at the question and his teeth grinding got even more aggressive. "None. Of your. Business."

Danny groaned and pulled at his hair. "Why are you being such an asshole? I'm just asking regular old awkward date questions! Are you still angry about the late thing? Because I thought we worked through that!"

"Did you seriously just call me an asshole?"

"Yes!" Danny whisper-shouted. "Because you are being a jackass and last time I checked, you're supposed to try and get the person you're on a romantic date to like you."

"Well last I checked you're supposed to show up on time."

"Oh my god. This again. You know, I'm starting to think Sam's wrath on not staying on this date would be worth it if I don't have to endure this shit!" Danny's voice rose slightly, but he tried not to make a scene. That would only make the whole ordeal worse.

"Wait...are you saying that the only reason you're here is because your friend will be angry?" Andrew gaped at Danny. His hands clenched angrily on the table, almost ripping the tablecloth off of it.

Danny gulped and grimaced. "Sort of...but that doesn't mean I don't want to be here. It just kinda...worked out that way."

Andrew shook his head, and for the second time that night, he stood up angrily. "That's it. I'm going home. I am so very glad we didn't order anything yet."

Danny rushed to stand up and try and stop him. "W-Wait! I can't drive you home...and it's really cold out there!" Though Danny didn't particularly enjoy the other man, he very well couldn't leave the other man to fend for himself.

Andrew glared at Danny. "Then I'll take a cab."

"B-but...I can't make you pay for a cab by yourself!"

"Then give me money for one then!"

Danny looked down and toed his shoe on the carpet. "I don't have any cash...and there isn't an ATM around here." He looked back up to the less than impressed Andrew. "B-but I'd be glad to walk you home...a-and lend you my coat for the weather!"

Andrew rolled his eyes and started walking, taking the coat from Danny's outstretched hand. "Fine."

While walking down the street the mood was tense and Danny clutched his arms to try and warm himself up from the cold. Unsurprisingly, he was starting to regret giving up his coat to the other. Danny didn't ask where Andrew lived so he decided that instead of starting a needless conversation, he would just walk the other home and make sure he was safe.

They had been walking for a while and were in a darker part, when a figure suddenly jumped out of an alley and pointed a knife at them. "Hands where I can see them!" The figure growled, and too surprised to do anything else, they complied with their wishes.

"Now give me all your money!"

"We don't have any." Danny's voice shook but he tried to calm himself. Andrew nodded jerkily in agreement.

The mugger advanced on Andrew, and Danny decided to do the only thing he could think of. He elbowed the mugger hard in the back of their head. They fell back onto the sidewalk and clutched the back of their head and Andrew quickly pulled out his phone, calling the police.

Half an hour later, the police had the mugger arrested and had left. After they had been interviewed by the police, Danny had sat down on a nearby step of a building and was looking almost..sad.

Andrew sighed as he sat down next to Danny on the step. "Listen...I'm so sorry for being such an asshole tonight. I swear I'm not that big of a pretentious dick usually. I just had an incredibly stressful day. I got fired earlier today...ironically, it was because I came late. Which makes me seem like even more of an asshole."

Danny's head shot up and he blinked at the other, surprised at the apology. "That's alright. And just for the record, I didn't mean to phrase that thing earlier. I just say stupid things when I'm nervous. I don't go on blind dates often. Okay that's not true. I never go on blind dates. I just didn't know what to expect."

Andrew slapped a hand to his face and groaned. "I must have given you quite the first impression then."

Danny shrugged and smiled slightly. "It wasn't quite so bad. That's the most action I've gotten in a while! I would ask you to redo tonight but-" He took a quick look at his watch. "-It's pretty late. Perhaps I could ask you on a redo date and we could try again."

Andrew smiled at the other. "Yeah sure." He stood up and held out his hand to the other. "Now what do you say about walking me home."

Danny stood up and grabbed the hand, smiling Andrew. "I would love that."
