Dates are complicated things [Closed]

Who: Falan and Zelos
Where: Their home
When: A few days after the date auction was wrapped up.
Warnings: Fluff?

Falan didn't know what exactly made her want to bid on the date auction. Sure she knew what it was meant for, but there was something that made her want to bid on Zelos. He made her feel embarrassed with his constant flirting and she felt shy around him, but he was a housemate and he was a sweet guy after getting to know him a little better. Besides, somebody had to bid on him, right? Or at least that's what she was telling herself.

They didn't particularly have much bills to actually go out and do something, but that was fine with Falan. It may have been easier this way anyways. With Duzell and Ishtar out of the house (shooed out by Falan), she had already gone grocery shopping to get food to make dinner. Falan wasn't the best cook around, but she was slowly improving. It wasn't anything amazing, but she'd finally finished dinner. Realizing what time it was, she started to worry a little. She'd gotten dinner done, but she hadn't gotten herself ready yet. Perhaps living in the same household was a bad time at times like this then?

Taking her apron off and setting it off to the side, she hurried off to her room to get changed. What did you even wear for a date? She hadn't exactly been on a date before, but she did know that she was extremely nervous. Flipping through her outfits (which mostly consisted of long dresses because old habits die hard), she finally settled on a more modern dress -- that Ishtar insisted was perfect for her -- and a pair of white pumps. Once she was done, she hoped that this would be okay. She didn't know if it was suitable enough for a date or even what to wear, but there wasn't more to do. Leaving her room finally, she hoped that everything would turn out okay.

Zelos was surprised with how well he'd settled into his new place here in Genessia. For one, he had two lovely hunnies to flirt with who didn't seem to mind his flirting - although he had to turn it down a bit with Ishtar when Duzell was around - and actually seemed to enjoy his company.

He had felt a little awkward around his housemates since who-knows-what lead him to being turned into a vulnerable child, but for the most part, that seemed to have been forgotten, much to his relief. It was also a relief that none of them had worked out what he really was - in status, in race, and in the bitter hall of self-loathing he was beneath the playful smiles.

All thing's considered, Falan voting for him in the date auction had definitely been something of a surprise. She was definitely a sweet girl, who always seemed flustered by his friendly advances, but she seemed genuinely kind. To say that he wasn't sure what to expect from this date was something of an understatement, but he'd made sure to get a large bunch of brightly coloured tulips for her.

He'd dressed up for many noble parties back home, but here he had happily picked something a little more casual to what he was used to, a pink suit jacket covering a white shirt and black trousers, and no obnoxious bow-tie. He was so glad to be rid of all the frills, but...nevertheless, Zelos had still done his hair in an elegant braid down his back.

Zelos was hanging around outside his room, leaning on the door, when Falan emerged. "Hey, beautiful~" he called, heading over and smoothly slipping his arm around her waist as he presented the flowers. "Wow, you look gorgeous in that dress."

To say that Falan was nervous was understatement. She'd never really been on a date before, despite having something with Illsaide before finding out that they were half-siblings. That made things awkward to say the least. Was she even dressed right for this? Was it too casual or was it enough? What did you even do on a date?

Oh gosh. Falan was always a pretty nervous/worried girl. She worried enough to worry for everyone in the household. Now she just felt butterflies. She didn't exactly expect the tulips, but they were beautiful. Cheeks flushing a light red as she took the flowers, taking note of his arm.

"T-Thank you... You really pull off that color," she said smiling to him shyly. Not many guys could pull of that pink, but he pulled it off just well.

Less said on Zelos' relation with his half-sister, the better. She was one of the few people from home that he truly missed. Unlike Falan, he wasn't too nervous about the date. He was often surrounded by attractive women at home, and even here he had been asking various girls out on dates, so the experience was a familiar one.

"Thanks, I'm glad you like it," he said, giving her a bright smile. She was blushing already? No harm in a little teasing, then; "No need to be so nervous, I don't bite."

And Falan kind of knew that his family was a touchy subject for him. Family situations were weird.... Zelosplz. You should know she blushes easily. Which probably isn't a good thing for her.

"N-No I'm okay! Uhm.. Were you hungry?" she asked, changing the subject.

Knowing Zelos, he had probably not mentioned his family or, well, anyone from back home since he arrived. Any time the subject of people from his world was brought up, he playfully brushed off the subject with a flirtatious remark. Getting Falan flustered was a great way to get the subject off himself, he found.

Zelos grinned at the question. "I sure am. Does this mean you've got a surprise planned for me, beautiful?"

Truth be told, he had probably smelt the cooking from his room, and he was certainly looking forward to it. There was something so much nicer about homemade cooking than the fancy parties he was used to. Not that he'd told any of them that he was a noble back home - if asked, he always just claimed that he was a 'swordsman', nothing more.

He hadn't mentioned it per se, but whenever Falan or Ishtar mentioned anything to do with family, he always seemed slightly uncomfortable. She figured there had to be something there that he didn't feel comfortable talking about. And it wasn't hard to do that.

"Well I... I didn't know how many bills you had or even if I had much, so I figured I could just cook something here. I mean, if that's okay enough with you," she said. Without really waiting for an answer, she reached for his hand and tugged him along lightly towards the kitchen.

For now, at least, Zelos was happy he'd got away with avoiding the more uncomfortable topics of his life back home. Falan didn't ask him much it, thankfully.

He chuckled playfully as she led him to the kitchen. "You cooked something specially for me? I'm touched~"

"Well.. I tried to anyways," she replied. "I've been trying to get better at cooking, so I don't know how good it is. I hope you'll like it."

"I'm sure I will," he said, taking a seat at the table. This should be interesting. "So, what'd you decide to make?"

Not that Zelos really minded what she cooked, he was looking forward to trying it regardless.

Once he sat down, she went to grab some plates and silverware; It seems she had forgotten something in the craziness of trying to prepare dinner. After setting them, she set down some of the lasagna that she'd made in front of him and then at her own spot across from him. She really wasn't sure what he'd like or even what to make. Somehow along the way she'd settled on lasagna.

"I hope that's okay," she said and then realizing, "Oh! Did you want something to drink?"

Zelos watched curiously as she set out the food. Some of his teammates had cooked pasta before when they were on the road, so there was something a little nostalgic about it...but it was not an unpleasant feeling.

"Smells good, beautiful~ Looks pretty tasty too," he replied, smiling. "Sure. Anything's cool with me."

If she could do that in the process, than that was just another bonus.

"Well, go ahead and eat," she said, giving him a bright smile. Getting up to grab a few glasses she just got some water for the time being. IF he wanted anything else, she was happy to get it for him. Setting it down near him, she took a seat again.

Once she'd sat down, Zelos took a sip of water, before starting up on his food. Not bad, not bad at all!

"Hey...this is pretty good," he said, before offering her a small smile and adding: "Thanks." For once, his tone sounded a little more genuine than his usual flirtatious remarks.

And with his comment, she does feel a little better. At least her cooking wasn't terrible. After hearing that, she finally started on her own food.

"I-It's no problem," she said, clearly happy that he was. And then after a few more minutes, "I-if you'd like... I could... cook for you more often."

Zelos blinked in surprise at that. She really wanted to cook for him?

"You serious?" he asked, "You're too nice, Falan-hunny~"

"Of course. I wouldn't mind. It would be a nice way to practice cooking, after all," she said sheepishly. "I just hope that it won't be terrible."

"If this is anything to go by, I'm sure it'll be great," he said.
