For The Diner Jflsdkjf - Tumblr Posts
it was confirmed, they would meet at the diner at four. oh, she's so excited!! even she didn't think it would get this far, assuming nnoitra would be perfectly fine with remaining as friends, but the faerie isn't complaining about him wanting a date. maybe it would work in the end and they could go on more and it could bloom into a real romantic relationship. she does hope it can.
agatha finishes her snack and soda, clearing up the garbage and quickly taking a shower. while she knows she doesn't have to impress him, it would still be good to show up to the date in something nice. once out of the shower and dried off, agatha picks out an outfit for herself. something light and comfortable, with it being summer and all. she puts on a white blouse with slightly puffy sleeves and flowers embroidered along the collar and sleeve cuffs, then a shin-length, sage green skirt that flared outward if she spun in it. next was a pair of knee highs and brown mary jane pumps. agatha checks herself out in the mirror, looking herself over. she looks pretty cute, if she does say so herself!
with some time still between now and her date, she takes the time to put her hair into long twin braids. she felt she had to do something with it. ah, maybe she'll cut it one of these days so it's less of a hassle to deal with. maybe she could ask nnoitra what he thinks. maybe that's not a first date thing. she could just ask if she gets any closer to making a concrete decision. agatha looks herself over once more. now she's all ready!
agatha grabs her phone, keys and her wallet, tucking them all into her bag. she pats clover's head, makes sure she has enough food and water, and heads out the door to her car. she turns on her radio to distract herself from the anxiety kicking in, tapping her thumbs against the steering wheel. agatha's sure she'll be less nervous once she gets to the diner. it's just pre-date jitters, that's all.
she pulls into the parking lot and grabs her bag, hesitating before heading inside. oh, boy, the place is a bit busier than she thought it'd be. well, it is a new diner, after all, but no matter! so long as both can handle it, it's perfectly fine. she scans the faces, looking for nnoitra's, smiling when she spots him. agatha heads towards the table, lightly tapping his shoulder. " i'm glad to see you here, nnoitra. " her smile grows and she sets her bag down on the booth seat, leaning it against the wall before sitting across from him. " i'm still a bit surprised you swiped on my profile, but... happy, too, and flattered that you'd show such an interest in me. must've been surprising to see me on tinder, huh? "
He was pretty much expecting her to say that "Of course we can hang out as friends", or something like that. It would be a kind, yet clear signal. It would tell him that she just wanted to stay friends and not try to take their relationship in a different direction, which would be fine by him. It wouldn't hurt his feelings. He wasn't THAT fragile.
What a surprise for him then, when she texted that she WAS game for a date. What the fuck --- He was getting excited about it. How stupid. He brushed a hand through his hair. He HADN'T expected to get this far. Okay. Shit. She was clearly interested, since she even suggested where they should go, as if to "seal the deal". Nnoitra was glad, since he always had troubles deciding where to take girls. He wasn't a very romantic person, and he always felt like he was choosing a disappointing location.
to - agatha - 「 hell yeah」
to - agatha - 「 c u at 4」
He stood up from the couch, and chugged his beer, like he was demonstrating his determination. It was a couple of hours until four. If he was going on a date he better get ready. Nnoitra wasn't the kind of guy who paid much attention to his appearance. There was only so much he could do to "improve" it after all.
First step was a shower. He usually wore his hair up in summer. He'd put it up once it was dry ( that took a while, it was so long and thick ). In the meantime he tried to find some clean clothes that didn't look like he'd fished them out of a dumpster. Something in colour, maybe. Almost all his clothes were black. Eventually he DID find a red t-shirt. It was relatively new and the colour wasn't faded yet. It was too hot outside to wear a hoodie ( unfortunately ). Nnoitra preferred to cover his skinny arms. Mah, Agatha had seen him in t-shirts before so she already knew how thin he was. No need to hide inside a big hoodie.
Black pants, red t-shirt and his usual boots... Yeah, outfit done. He put up his hair and he put some effort into it. He tried to make the bun less messy, but honestly - it wasn't very successful. Despite how he'd worn his hair long for almost his whole life, he STILL wasn't any good at styling it. Mah, whatever. Agatha already knew what he looked like so he didn't have to impress her with his looks ( there was no way for him to do that with anyone anyway ).
He stayed in his apartment until it was time to leave, so that he wouldn't get sweaty by walking around the city, or spill something on his clean clothes. THAT'S how dedicated he was here! Agatha better appreciate it ( a joke ).
He'd show up at the diner a while before 4, and grab them a booth. The diner was quite popular, so it was a good thing he could secure them seats. While he waited, he was looking at the menu. Was he nervous? Nah, but he was excited.
