Dinner Date for Two

Gaius didn't usually go out of his way to try to impress people... actually he probably had never gone out of his way to impress anyone because he didn't think it was worth the effort. That wasn't to say he was lazy, though he was fairly lazy, no it was just that there were very few people he actually cared enough about. Oh he liked a lot of the people in his life plenty well enough... but Asuka... Asuka was quite different. What he saw was not merely a girl who stood up for herself, but one who was practically craving a love that was missing in her life. More than anything he wanted to be that love in her life.

So he was cleaned up, shaved, well dressed, and he even had a bouquet of long stemmed roses squirreled away in his cape to surprise her with. He made reservations at a fancy restaurant, using a few of the connections he had from ordering their pastries which were some of the finest in the cosmos. Yes, when it came to feeding his sugar addiction he made connections that spread across worlds to find the sweetest and tastiest confections known to mankind. Tonight though was more about dinner than desert... though he was certainly hoping that Asuka would be willing to have desert... Or be desert...

He cleared his mind of the dirty thoughts, Like Asuka covered in whipped cream and begging him to have a tas- no, no, he had to stop! and knocked on her door. He was still wearing what he normally did, but it was much cleaner, fresher, and he even cleaned out all the old syrup, sugar, and jelly stains from it. He'd told her she could wear just about anything she liked since that's exactly what he was doing, but he did drop mention of the fact that he would take her to a fancy place because he thought she deserved to be spoiled a bit more. So he was curious as to how she might look when she greeted him at the door, mentally preparing himself for the absolute worst, but hoping to see that gorgeous smile on her face again.

What was the worst case scenario? Asuka looking like she just came out of a blast zone with her hair lit on fire, her clothes covered in mud, her having a hangover from hell that made her look like a zombie that wanted to claw his brains out, and her carrying around the severed head of Shinji. Yes, he shuddered at the very idea of it, but even if things were at their worst, he'd at least try to get her cleaned up, bury the body, hide the evidence, have her skip town, and give her a raincheck on that date. Wow... if he was willing to go that far, he really was smitten wasn't he? He needed to get out of his head and stop being so damn nervous about this date... he had to be more cool and collected or else she'd eat him for breakfast. He was hoping to wait for the second date for that. Yup here he was, ex-con chuckling over a joke inside his own damn head and waiting for the girl of his dreams to answer the door on their first date.

Wow..

[ She admired their surroundings for a moment as they sat down. The girl who almost never shut up was now at a loss for words. After staring out the window, taking in the view, she looked down at the menu.

She in fact, was unable to read it. Although little bits and pieces of words stuck out to her, she wasn't able to really read any of it. Looking a little embarrassed, she rested her cheek against her hand.
]

I um.. I can't read this.. Can you help me?

[ Don't tell anyone she asked for help. It wouldn't be very cool. ]

[personal profile] liebe_mich 2014-11-05 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Thats.. a lot of stuff.

[ And she's already forgotten how to say most of that, but damn if she won't try. ]

Um.. I'll try.. The duck.. a l-l.. um.. The one you're getting.

[ Whoops she's embarrassed. ]

If thats okay with you.

[personal profile] liebe_mich 2014-11-05 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not embarrassed. I just didn't know how to read it, thats all.

[ She's very embarrassed, she's lying. ]

So you've been here before..? You're lucky.

[ Asuka's eyes are practically glowing when she looks around. Ah, what a beautiful place to be. ]

[personal profile] liebe_mich 2014-11-05 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ Honestly she couldn't care less if he acted like a hobo or was the richest most classy guy in the world. She was smitten either way, just as he was, and this entire dinner just solidified that fact. ]

Today is a day of firsts then. First ride in a limo for me, first time eating at this fancy place for the both of us.

[ More firsts coming soon. ]

This is.. the nicest thing anyones done for me, I think.

[ Her gaze turns towards the window, soaking in the view again. He doesn't know that much German right? She mumbles to herself with a small smile. ]

ich liebe dich..

[personal profile] liebe_mich 2014-11-05 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
..Ich liebe dich in stücke , meine Süße.

[ Nope. No clue what he was saying. But she decided to continue to say sweet things to him that he wouldn't understand. Because.. She thinks thats what he did with french..? She'd like to assume so. ]

Do you want to know what that means, Lieben?

[personal profile] liebe_mich 2014-11-05 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ Her finger taps the tip of her nose and she nods. ]

Your second guess is correct.

[ She reaches her foot out towards his , and she gets it behind his chair leg thats in the air, ready to catch him if he tips over. They wouldn't want that. ]

Ah yeah.. What'd you say? Or do I have to guess too?

[personal profile] liebe_mich 2014-11-05 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ Don't worry your humor hadn't failed. She just decided that this was another one of her romantic teasing moments.

Ah. There it was. Those words that made her face feel like it was on fire. 'Love'. That word hadn't been said to her yet. And now that it was out there well.. Butterflies flooded her little loudmouthed heart.
]

I- I love you too, sweetest.

[ That seemed to be a nickname that had stuck. Whether she was saying it in German or English. Any language, he was sweetest. You know, because it worked with his addiction to sweets, and his personality. ]

[ The scent of the food flooded her nose, and she gazed at how perfectly it was placed on the plate, looking so neat and tidy. ]

This.. Is amazing.

[ This is by far the best meal she's had since moving out of Germany, part of it being that she's only eaten instant ramen and whatever Shinji manages to make her, but also because the meal was meaningful. He probably could've taken her to one of those dumpy diners just as the other boys had, but if he had treated her the same way, Asuka wouldn't even think about what place they were in. ]

Yeah I don't really understand that fork-specific stuff either.

[ So Asuka was perfectly content with his statement as she took to fork closest to her and-

Did he just twirl that knife around like a badass?

Yes.

Did it just make him even more irresistible?

Hell yes.
]

[personal profile] liebe_mich 2014-11-05 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Those jerks at least got an earfull from Asuka after everything was done. That doesn't mean they probably didn't deserve whatever painful punishment Gaius might think up if he know about them.

Asuka cut into her duck with ease, taking a bite and having her face light up. The texture was perfect, the flavor exploded in her mouth. She couldn't be happier.
]

A circus, too? Jeez, what haven't you done?

[personal profile] liebe_mich 2014-11-05 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It worked. She turns her head so that maybe- just maybe he won't notice her blush. She let out a small laugh.]

Don't forget you're totally vulnerable to my charm.

[ Thats not really a flaw but some would consider it a weakness. She sipped at her water, taking an ice cube in her mouth and biting down on it. Her hand moves to her head where she plays with a strand of hair coming down from her ponytail. She wasn't really used to having her hair done up this way, but she liked it. It didn't hide her face as much as it did when she'd have her hair down. ]

[personal profile] liebe_mich 2014-11-05 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She poked at her food again, her smile not fading because she's pretty proud of herself in the moment. ]

It's all natural. Yeah I'm just that good. If there was a school on charming, I'd probably be the teacher.

[ Just watch that ego inflate. She's reverted back to her old ways of being overly confident in herself, just because she's also trying to impress him.. just little bit. ]

Where'd you learn to be so charming yourself, huh? Not a lot of guys can get me interested just after talking to them for a little bit.

[personal profile] liebe_mich 2014-11-05 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Funny. I'm Both.

[ Charming and tough. How's that for you? ]

Well, if you were able to hook me on our first meeting, I'd say you're just as good as me.

[ And she's not just saying that to flatter him, she really means it. While a coupel girls were able to catch his eye back where he was from, Asuka wasn't really interested in anyone. Save for one Kaji for a while.]
