This is going to end badly.

Who: bemykismesis and striderismo
Where: The shopping malls/stores in general yes.
When: The afternoon of June 4th.
Summary: Dave and Eridan are going on a date. Pretty much.
Rating: PG-13 for Dave and Eridan's language.
Log:
Eridan was waiting in front of the pokemart like he had said. He was wearing shorts and a t-shirt for once for it was a little too warm to be wearing all of his warm clothes. He was still wearing his scarf though. Gotta keep his hipster look somehow.

He looks up to the sky and shades his eyes, wondering if Dave was really serious about this or not.

"Yeah, seriously."

"I guess I could be a little more like this around others but that's if they ewen w-want to giwe me a chance in the first place."

[strideways]

He rolls his eyes behind his shades.

"If you keep acting like a douchebag, it's your fault if they don't like you. If you act like less of a tool and they still don't like you, then you can whine and bitch about it."

[imawwizard.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, that makes sense I guess."

He kind of wants to change the topic now.

[strideways]

Eridan's reluctance isn't hard to pick up on. Dave shrugs a little, standing up and stretching.

"It's good advice, dude. Take it or leave it. I'm just trying to help."

[imawwizard.livejournal.com]

"I know you're tryin' to help so I'll giwe it a try."

Only for you, Dave.

[strideways]

Dave should feel guilty about this, shouldn't he? He doesn't. He just feels slightly sulky and a little dissatisfied. This isn't panning out the way it's supposed to.

"Good."

He drops his arms to his sides, shoving his hands in his pockets, and glances at the clock.

"I should probably get going. People are probably starting up a candlelight vigil for me right about now."

[imawwizard.livejournal.com]

Eridan glances at the clock too and stands up.

"Yeah, it's gettin' pretty late."

He looks at Dave for a minute and hesitantly walks over until their a few feet away. Then he places a hand on Dave's shoulder, leans in, and kisses him on the cheek.

"Thanks again for today. I had a really great time."

[strideways]

He watches Eridan's face as he approaches, entirely unsuspecting until the other boy touches him. Then his eyes grow wide behind his shades as Eridan leans in.

This is either the gayest or the most ironic day of his life.

After a beat: "Yeah... me, too."

Sweet firebombing Christ, should he—

... Yeah. Seal it with a kiss, Strider.

He leans in, himself, after Eridan has pulled back, and returns the gesture, kissing Eridan quickly on the cheek.

"See you around."

[imawwizard.livejournal.com]

Eridan's cheeks have been flushed for a while now but when Dave kisses back? Yeah, it probably can't get any more red.

"y-yeah. See you."

[strideways]

Can't get any more red, indeed. Ah, the burden of Strider swag. Romancing ladies and dudes left and right.

Dave saunters out, shuts the door quietly behind him... and breathes a sigh of relief.
