“O-Oh, no, I’ll be okay!” He smiles and sets down the items, adjusting them so that they both can reach easily. He sits down across from her, and happily notes that she seems to be enjoying herself so far. If there’s only one thing that comes out of this night, he hopes that it’s that she had a good time. 

“I hope you don’t mind spaghetti! It was, um. All I could think of that was pretty universally liked.” 

She shakes her head and beams at him. “It’s fine! I actually love spaghetti! It smells sooo good!” Paige was indulging on the tantalizing aroma coming from the pot, she couldn’t stop her mouth from watering, it just smelled so GOOD.

“Gosh I didn’t realize how hungry I was…! Let’s eat up!”

“I-I hope you do like it! And, well, yes, of course! Go right ahead.” He dithers at the doorway of the dining room for a moment before turning slightly. “I just need to go get the rest of the food. I’ll be right back!” 

He throws her a smile before hurrying into the kitchen, grabbing up a pot and a basket, and going back to the dining room in record time. He doesn’t want to keep her waiting too long, after all. That’d just be rude.

She settled herself down in the seat and looked at the table that Dacian set. Everything was so neatly put and he even added some candles, how romantic. She smiled to herself and hummed while she waited for Dacian to come back. 

When he returned she saw that he had his hands full and was worried he would drop something!

“A-Ah! Please be careful! Do you need help with that?”

He turns a bit pink himself when she smiles back at him, and nearly forgets to close the door after her. He does, though, and smiles uncertainly at the question. 

“Oh, thank you. And, um, yeah! My mother taught me how to cook, and since this is kind of a special occasion…” He trails off, turning redder. He’s never going to admit that he had to call up his mother to ask for help in making the food. Instead, he follows her, shoving his hands in his pockets so he won’t fuss with them while he talks. 

“That’s so sweet! I bet everything will taste delicious!” She looks around the living room, everything is so neat and clean and the ambiance is wonderful. “Everything looks great!” She turns to smile at him again and gestures towards the dining room. 

“Shall I sit down at the table already or?”

six-sided-die:

Oh, gosh. She was here. Die took another moment to straighten everything out one last time before hurrying over, opening the door with as large of asmile as he can manage. He hopes that he remembered to put everything that could be creepy away, beforehand. 

“H-Hi Paige! Um, I’m glad you could make it!” He steps away from the door a bit, gesturing inside nervously. “W-Would you come in?” 

Wow. Dacian looked so handsome tonight! She blushed when he opened the door for her with that wonderful smile. She couldn’t help but beam back at him. 

“Y-yes! Thank you!” She walked inside and instantly she smelled the wonderful aroma of the food. “Wow Dacian, it smells delicious! Did you cook the food all by yourself?”

Die was fretting almost as much as Paige must be. Everything had to be perfect, or at least seem perfect, since this was kind of the most important night of his life. He kept checking and re-checking the food, the clock, and his outfit as he waited for her, looking more and more unsure as the minutes ticked by. He knows he shouldn’t be as nervous as he is, but he can’t help it. 

He’s never dated anyone before, and especially not someone like Paige. If he can get through this, he’s almost positive that he might actually have a chance with her. 

Paige made it to Dacian’s place a bit out of breath. She checked her watch and saw she was only about 3 minutes late. She sighed in relief and composed herself and nervously knocked on the door.

She really hoped tonight would prove well. She really liked Dacian and she’s never met a man who’s treated her so well yet. She was very anxious for tonight’s events but she told herself as long as she was spending it with him, it wouldn’t be as bad as she was making it out to be.

Paige fiddled with her dress and skirt and hair in front of the mirror, she had her first date with Dacian tonight and she was incredibly nervous. She kept double checking and triple checking to see if everything was in check. She had already gone through 4 different hairstyles and just settled with a simple half-pony tail. 

She sighed after she got rid of the last wrinkle in her skirt and whispered “this is as good as it’s gonna get…” to herself. She had never been on any date before so she was worried she would mess everything up. She checked the clock and noticed she was already running late! She hurried and grabbed her purse, heading out the door in a rush.

six-sided-die:

Oh. Well, he feels even better, now that he knows this’ll make her less anxious. He hums for a moment, considering what time he might actually be ready. He grips his doll a bit tighter, twisting it inside his pocket.

“I’m glad I can help! How about, um, three? I promise I’ll be on time, too.” At least then he’ll have enough time to get out all his nerves before having to actually meet her. 

“Sounds good to me!” she gives him another warm smile before slinging her messenger bag over her shoulder again. She paused for a second, thinking something over before quickly moving closer to him and tip-toeing to give him a quick peck on the cheek before turning on her heels and leaving.

“It’s a date then! See you then, Dacian!”

six-sided-die:

“Wait, really?” He stares at her, before slowly smiling. Well, while he hadn’t exactly expected that answer, he can’t say he’s not delighted about it. He glances down for a moment, really unable to do anything but be overwhelmingly happy for a moment, before nodding. 

“Ah, well, I’m glad! Really glad. So, should I. Come to meet you before the cookout..?” 

“Yes, really!” she giggles and finishes putting all the mail into their boxes and turning back to him. “I’m so glad, if I had gone alone I would have been so nervous! Now I don’t feel bad, especially since I’m going with you!” she beamed at him and nodded “sure! We can go up there together. What time should I be expecting you?”

six-sided-die:

“I see…Well, I’m going.” He tucks the mail under his arm and shoves his hands into his pockets, looking a bit uncertain now. It would be pretty unlucky if she didn’t end up going, and he just ended up embarrassing himself. It’s just a good thing that he’s managed to convince himself to do this. “And I was wondering if, maybe, you’d like to go with me?” 

Paige perked up at the question, a smile spreading across her face. “Oh goodness, I…I’d love to!” She blushed, a little embarrassed that she got so excited but the fact that he asked her to go with him was wonderful!

six-sided-die:

“Uh, yeah…Thanks.” He smiles a bit at how happy she looks, since that makes him pretty happy, too. He takes his mail and glances over it briefly, mostly as a way to distract himself. At least there’s nothing that demands his urgent attention in it. When he looks back up at her, he looks far more determined than before. 

“Hey, did you hear that the management is having a cookout for everyone?”

She hums and nods at him as she briefly goes back to sorting out the mail and stuffing them into their respective mail boxes. She looks back at Dacian, focusing her attention to him. 

“Oh yeah! I think I heard about that, it’s going to be on the roof right?” She remembered hearing about it a few days ago while making her rounds delivering mail. “It sounds nice I think I might go for a bit, I’m still a bit unsure though…” she pouts a little, she wasn’t sure if she’d be totally comfortable going by herself, she only really knows Dacian from the complex, even though this would be a great chance to make friends she’s awfully nervous.
