You were in the middle of your room giving a deadpanned look as Basila was fixing up your outfit and Maddie was brushing your hair

Y/n: Why are you doing this to me...

Maddie: Because we care

Basila: And you don't know how to do it yourself

Y/n: Guys, what's the big deal? It's just a date.

Basila: Correction, it's your FIRST date with Zee ever since you got together. I'm still surprised she was the one who wanted to take you out to some fancy restaurant

Y/n: Okay, fair. But do I really need to do all of this for dinner?

Basila moves out of the way as it's revealed she dressed you in a really tight suit and tie

Basila: Classy girls like classy guys, it's a well known fact

Y/n: Get out of my room

Basila and Maddie leave as you loosen the tie and start getting undressed. You lay out some dark jeans, a dress shirt, a new red tie, and a jacket on your bed and proceed to get dressed. You look at your goggles and put them in your pocket as well. You walk out of your room only to get sprayed in the face, causing you to scream as you cover your eyes. You can vaguely see Maddie holding a cologne bottle while Basila is holding her up to your face

Maddie: Just a little cologne to keep her clinging to you

Y/n: My eyes!

Maddie: Oh hush you big baby

Basila: Least you smell better than before

Suddenly the doorbell rings and you hear your mom call your name from the kitchen

Mom (from downstairs): Y/n! I think Zee's here!

Y/n: Crud...Alright! I'll be down in a minute!

Basila: Go get her, tiger!

Maddie: Don't stay out too late, I'll kill you if you hurt her

Y/n: Right... I'll see you guys later

Basila and Maddie: Good luck!

You head downstairs and go outside and notice Zee standing on your porch in her usual vest and skirt combo as well as her black high boots

Y/n: Hey, beautiful

Zee: Hey yourself, handsome. Ready to head out?

Y/n: Born ready, I'm still surprised you wanted to take me to a fancy restaurant

Zee: Yep, it's the best sushi restaurant in all of Metropolis! I showed it to Kara and have been dying to come back ever since! Just one thing though...it took me months to get this reservation, so don't embarrass me.

Y/n: You know I'd never do that

Zee: It's just...this place is so cultural. I just wanna be sure you'll respect them

Y/n: I give you my word, I promise to be respectful

She holds your hand as you let her get closer to you

Zee: Thanks, Y/n. You're a charmer...

Y/n: I'm actually surprised you got Kara of all people to go to a-...wait did you just say we're going to a sushi restaurant?

Zee: Yeah, why? Is something the matter?

You start sweating bullets and try to come up with a decent lie that won't end with Zee getting suspicious

Y/n: N-No, I just never had sushi before...

Zee: You're so gonna love it!

Y/n: Yeah...haha..totally...

As you both made your way into the restaurant, an old lady in a kimono guides you to a private dining area complete with homemade tea and chopsticks. You suddenly feel queasy at the idea of what food you're gonna have to eat. You sit down opposite each other as the old lady brings two bowls full of what looks like seaweed with fish flakes on it

Y/n: Um...what is this?

Zee: It's called "Wakame", it's a seaweed salad that's popular in Japan

Y/n: Oh...haha right...I forgot, my mom made us seaweed salad for lunch...heheh...

Zee: Y/n, just eat it. It's delicious!

Y/n: I really don't want to spoil my appetite until the sushi arrives...

Zee: Fine, but just so you know declining food is a little rude

Y/n: Right, I'm sorry...

As you apologize the old lady returns with 2 sushi rolls that look like dragons

Zee: Ah, excellent! This is their famous "Red Dragon" roll

Y/n: Dragon?

Zee: Yeah, the dragon's skin is made from thinly sliced salmon. Try it!

You gulp as you pick up one with your chopsticks but you "accidentally" drop it onto the floor

Y/n: Whoops, I better clean this up

You notice Zee getting annoyed as you clean up the spilled sushi on the floor. As you finish cleaning the old lady returns with 2 whole grilled fish and places the dishes in front of you

Zee: You're going to love their grilled fish, Y/n! It's to die for!

You take one look at the fish and you swear the fish looks back at you, causing you to throw yourself back and scream your head off as the old lady returns with 2 bowls of octopus tentacles. As she sets the bowls down, she gives you an angry look and walks out of the dining room, causing Zee to give you an angry look back

Zee: Y/n, you promised me you would be respectful!

Y/n: I know, I know and I'm sorry. From now on I'll be the most respectful person in this place, you have my word!

Zee: Alright, I'm holding you to that. Now, try to octopus.

Y/n: Octopus?...

You didn't notice the bowl in front of you until now as you look down and see a nice steaming bowl of octopus tentacles, causing you to hold back your vomit and swallow it down

Y/n: Um, Zee? I'm just gonna go to the bathroom real quick, is that cool?

Zee: Sure, I don't mind. But when you get back you're finishing that bowl

Y/n: Right...heheh...

You get up and exit the dining room, not noticing you dropped your goggles, then proceed to run towards the bathroom and lock the door behind you. You wash your face as your inner thoughts form inside your head.

Y/n: Of all the places we could've gone to; Phat Burger, Burrito Bucket, heck even Sweet Justice! Of all the places why did it have to be this stupid Japanese restaurant?! I should just cut my losses and leave...

???: Dude, you are so pathetic

You look up to see no one around, and then you look at your reflection in the mirror, as if you were having a conversation with yourself

Y/n: Okay I must be going crazy...

Mirror Y/n: Crazy? I was crazy once-

Y/n: We're not doing that

Mirror Y/n: Aw man...

Y/n: And you're wrong about me, I'm not pathetic

Mirror Y/n: Right, so you're NOT hiding in the bathroom while a beautiful girl who wanted to take you out on a date is sitting in that dining room alone waiting for you to come back

Y/n: Okay, when you put it like that I really do seem pathetic...

Mirror Y/n: And all because you can't tell her the truth

Y/n: Can you blame me? It's embarrassing

Mirror Y/n: It may be embarrassing for you, but Zee is worth it, so suck it up, get back out there and tell her the truth before she gives up on this date

Y/n: You're right...she needs to know the truth...

You exit the bathroom and make your way to the dining hall only to find it empty, aside from the old lady cleaning up the table

Y/n: Where's...

Old Lady: You're too late, she just left

You hold back your tears and you press your back against the wall and slump to the floor

Y/n: I...can't be...I didn't tell her...

The old lady then comes up to you and lifts your chin up

Old Lady: You care this much for that girl?

You shakily nod your head as she wipe your tears away

Old Lady: Then go to her. If she cares as much about you, she won't be far

Y/n: Thank you...and I'm sorry for how I acted earlier...it was very rude of me

You bow to the old lady and walk out of the restaurant, only to find Zee sitting in front of the entrance with your goggles in her hand and mascara running down her face

Y/n: Zee, I-

Zee: Why didn't you tell me?

Y/n: What?

Zee: I spent months planning the perfect first date for us. I picked this restaurant because I wanted to share it with you, the only boy I ever cared about... and now I feel like a complete idiot...

Y/n: Zee...I have to tell you something... I'm...

Zee: I know... Y/n... Maddie told me... I just wish you had been honest with me sooner

Flashback to when Y/n was in the bathroom

Zee: Hm...he's taking a while in there...why hasn't he eaten a single thing ever since we got here?...

She then notices your googles on the floor

Zee: He's kept them all this time...

Suddenly Zee's phone starts to ring, she sees that Maddie is trying to video call her and she answers, seeing Maddie getting her hair done by Bas

Zee: Hey Maddie, Hey Bas

Maddie: Hey Zee!

Bas: So how's the date going? Is Y/n behaving himself?

Zee: Everything's fine, he's in the bathroom right now, but...Y/n's been acting kind of weird. I took him to this super fancy sushi restaurant and-

Maddie: Wait a minute, rewind, you took him to a SUSHI restaurant? As in there's nothing but seafood there?

Zee: Yeah why?

Maddie: Zee, Y/n's allergic to seafood! If he eats any he'll bloat like a balloon and be gassy for a week!

Zee: Really? I...I didn't know...

Bas: No wonder why he was acting weird. Idiot must have gone to great lengths not to embarrass himself tonight

Zee: But...why didn't he tell me?...

Bas: Probably because he didn't want to upset you?

Zee: I...I gotta go...I'll call you later

Zee hangs up the phone then walks out of the restaurant, trying her best not to cry

End Flashback

Y/n:  I wanted to tell you, but it's embarrassing for me...

Zee: It's nothing to be embarrassed about...it's normal for a lot of people

Y/n: I get that, but still, when you told me it took months to get the reservation I just...couldn't back out... I didn't want to hurt your feelings...

Zee: Y/n, I don't care if you're allergic to seafood, we can always do something else and still have fun as long as we're together. But if we're gonna make this work, we can't keep any secrets between us. Can you promise me that?

Y/n: I promise, from now on, no more secrets.

Zee: Good, now since you didn't eat anything and I don't feel like going home right now, how about we go hit up Sweet Justice? I'm suddenly in the mood for fudge

Y/n: Zee, have I ever told you I love you?

Zee: Many times, and I love you, too

Zee puts your goggles over your forehead, kisses you on the cheek and then bops you on the nose

Zee: You're buying though

Y/n: Sure, as long as I get to carry you there

Zee: Now you're just being a gentleman

You pick her up princess style and carry her all the way to Sweet Justice while giggling
