A date, but not just any date; a date with Changkyun.

Usually people go on dates and then have sex but of course my life is backwards. I finish curling my hair making Mahogany squeal.

Mahogany: You look so pretty!
Me: Am I not pretty everyday?

She slaps my head playfully.

Mahogany: Are you nervous?

Yes.

Me: No, it's just Changkyun.
Mahogany: But it's not the normal horny Changkyun, this is the Changkyun that asked you on a date!

I smile, she's right.

Holy shit she's right.

This isn't me getting fucked in a closet or anything, this is going out to dinner and having to have an actual conversation that doesn't consist of "harder, "faster."

Mahogany notices my panicked face and giggles.

Mahogany: Relax would ya? I'm sure everything will go fine!

This is awkward.

Changkyun pushes his food around, while I stare around the restaurant. I don't think we've ever had a real conversation before.

Changkyun: So.
Me: So?
Changkyun: How's school?

I blink.

Me: It's alright, you?
Changkyun: It's okay.

Silence.

Me: Why is this so painfully awkward?
Changkyun: I don't know, it's been forever since I've been on a date. I don't want to say anything to mess it up.

I smile a little.

Me: You must've given this a lot of thought.
Changkyun: Of course I did, contrary to your belief I'm a good guy.

Eventhough he has asshole tendencies, I've never denied there maybe some good in him. Honestly I'm just as bad, people with glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Changkyun: I didn't think my first date would be so awkward.
Me: First date?

He nods.

Changkyun: If you haven't noticed I'm not really the wine and dine type.
Me: Well duh, but you've never been on a date before? Like ever?

He shakes his head.

Changkyun: Consider yourself special.
Me: You need to choose your words better!

He chuckles.

Changkyun: I'm sorry, I meant you are special.
Me: More special than Violet?
Changkyun: Oh? So you were jealous.
Me: Not jealous! Just concerned.
Changkyun: Mhm.

His hand brushes against mine across the table.

Changkyun: You don't have to worry about that anymore.
Me: I wasn't worrying!
Changkyun: Did you not just say you were concerned? Make up your mind woman.
Me: Shut up.

I feel my face and it's a bit warm, what the hell is happening?

Changkyun: But I mean it, you don't have to worry about a thing anymore.

I've never heard him sound so serious.

Changkyun: Usually people go on dates then fuck. We're superior because we did it backwards.
Me: Are we superior or just whores?
Changkyun: Whats wrong with being a whore?
Me: True.

The rest of the night the conversation comes much easier. We're both a laughing, smiling mess. I haven't felt like this in a long time.

Once he takes me back home I feel like I'm walking on air until I open the door and Kihyun is sitting on the couch with a pissed off expression.

Kihyun: And where were you?
