Sin Sure Knows How to Charm a Guy, Huh? Who: Nate and Sin Where: The Sugar Shack When: Thursday, January 27th
Cynthia Stone hadn't been this nervous in a LONG time. Hrm, Actually? When HAD she been this nervous? She hadn't felt THIS queasy going into battle with Death itself (WHICH she totally took down, in case ya forgot...). Because this? A first (sort-of) date? Yeah. NERRRRRVES. The diminutive slayer sat at a small table at Chloe's Sugar Shack, wearing tight navy blue jeans, an old-school X-Factor tee shirt (because really... who liked X-Factor? Sin did. So STFU), and her blonde hair tied back into a very short ponytail, a wisp of hair hanging in her eyes as she sipped at her coffee, waiting for her date to arrive.
When Nate made his way downstairs at home dressed in his favorite jeans and an off-white tee, his dad had stopped him and asked what he was doing. He spent the better part of the next fifteen minutes explaining that he had a date, and YES, it was with a girl (since Nate's father? Was almost CERTAIN that the boy was gay). Elated by the news, he actually offered to drop Nate off at his date and spent the entire drive there explaining the Do's and Do Not's to the boy. Much to his embarrassment. Finally free of him, Nate made his way into the Shack STILL blushing when he spotted Sin and made his way over. "Sorry if I'm late."
"Dude. You showed UP. Late or not, considering my track record? That's like showing up an hour EARLY." Oh lord. "Oh... for the record? I was totally right about that report. I totally BS'ed my way through the second half and still got an A." She smirked, leaning back in her chair. "I especially love that he had no problem with the part where Spider-Man, Voltron, and Charizard showed up to help beat Doomsday once and for all."
"...And then they all danced and ate cake?" He asked with a laugh and a roll of his eyes. "I'm not sure whether I admire that, or I'm grumpy that I didn't think to do something like that myself," he admitted.
"Danced? Ate cake? C'mon, give me SOME credit for originality..." Sin scoffed, rolling her eyes. "No, they all formed a super-team afterward, and then ended up recruiting Solid Snake and the big effin' T-Rex from Digimon. Cos that's how I ROLL."
Nate? Actually whimpered a little then. The nerd. "Okay, I think you're officially my new hero. I bow to you, Obi-Wan."
"Crusty Old Obi-Wan or Young Hot Obi-Wan?" Sin asked, because that obviously MATTERED. "Anyway. So what have YOU been up to, hm? Besides slumming it in the date department, that is."
"Slumming it," he repeated with a roll of his eyes. "The date department was non-existent until today, thank you very much. But other than that, not much. Gaming. Homework. Nothing quite as exciting as YOUR life, I'll bet."
"Well, really. My life is just..." She had to shut herself up, as... he PROBBBBBABLY wouldn't understand the whole slayer thing, huh. "Yeah, I guess it has it's moments. You have NO idea how good you look right now, do ya?"
He frowned lightly when it looked like she'd held something back, but... let it go when she complimented him. Blushing again, he ran a hand through his already messy hair. "Coming from you, that's a very high compliment."
"Yes, yes... that does indeed come from the reigning Queen of Cool..." She said with some playful self-mocking. "Although... did I ever tell you that back in Sunnydale I got voted Homecoming Queen? It was pretty sweet. I had signs that said what a total bitch the other girl was, and I got tons of votes from people who figured they'd be the only one voting for me. Delany almost peed herself laughing when the winner was announced."
Nate laughed and shook his head, "Only YOU could managed to do something like that and get away with it."
"I tried giving a victory speech. Even said I'd try to lower taxes. But then I got sent to the principal. Totally harshed my buzz." And, cutely enough? She kind of stared at him with a bit of want through that whole little shpiel.
"I imagine it would have," he replied, just... completely surprised by her. He knew that she was loud, but had NO idea the things that she got up to. "Are you... do you have plans for Prom?" He practically blurted out.
"Prom?" She laughed, going slightly bug-eyed. "Seriously? Prom? Me? Noooo. Not at all. Dude. Me + Dancing = Instant Disaster. We're talking tragedy of the highest order."
"Well, we wouldn't have to dance. We could sit there and make fun of other people's outfits or spike the punch, or something." Yes. That was his way of asking her. Shut up.
"Um... are you actually asking me to go to Prom with you?" She asked, a little surprised, if for no other reason than it was only JANUARY...
"Well, I figure better to do it now before all your admirers beat down your door. And yes, you DO have admirers," he said quickly, before she could say otherwise.
"I'll take your word for it, dude." She scoffed, rolling her eyes cutely. "But you know what? Sure. Why not? Best case, it'll be a hot date. Worst case? Two friends getting to incessantly mock everyone else."
"I'll drink to that," he smirked... before realizing that he didn't actually have a drink yet. "I'll BUY a drink... and drink to that," he muttered, excusing himself briefly to GET said drink.
Sin couldn't help it then. She started to giggle. Badly. And came to a conclusion right then and there. She'd always been the voice of reason, no matter how silly she seemed. She'd always been the one to not do irresponsible things. You know what? It was time she started living a little. When he came back, she leaned over, giving her best (God, she hoped it didn't look dumb) seductive gaze. "So... whether this ends up going anywhere or not... you wanna get outta here? My house is empty till tonight... maybe we could go check out each other's Pokedexs, if ya catch my drift."
He'd been about half-way through his first sip of coffee when she said that and the poor guy practically CHOKED on it, spluttering and wondering where the Hell THAT had come from, blinking at her comically. "...Seriously?" He asked when his words came back to him.
"Dude. I'm almost 17. I've only been with ONE person, but still. I got needs too, you know? Better someone I like, I'm attracted to, and I trust than some.. random skeez I meet at Avarice or something." Well. Looked like someone had a valid (if not pathetic) point!
"Well, when you put it like that..." He joked weakly, nodding slowly. "Y-yeah. Sure. Just, y'know. Be gentle with me?" He smirked.
"I'd have to be. If not... I'd break ya, sweet-cheeks." Sure, she smirked when she said it... but... come ON. It was the truth! "Now... let's go give me something exciting to tell Delany about."
He gave her a deer-in-the-headlights look then, but was quick to nod and stand up, wondering how the HELL this came about...
