First Date – Now (tag: Oizys)
Zelos felt better than he had in a long while. He had snuck back into the rooms he shared with his siblings and somehow managed to make it back to his apartment without being seen. He really did feel better after his talk with Apate, but he still wasn’t up to talking about what had happened with Kratos or Nike. Before he could deal with them, he needed something different, something that could be a lot of fun.
He took a quick shower and shaved, looking much better than he had when he had dropped in on his aunt. His eyes had lost that haunted look he had been carrying since their encounter with Akheron. The cocky glint of Rivalry was back and it only dimmed for a moment when he thought about his uncle. It was time to move past the troubles his uncles had so recently caused and to look towards a hopefully more peaceful future. Right now, he would be happy for just one night of peace.
Which was why he was going to take Oizys out on a date.
He was planning on taking her to a nice Italian restaurant he knew of that favored low lighting. He thought Oi might prefer that atmosphere so she wouldn’t have to worry about people staring at her. He did not know why she seemed to have such difficulty accepting the fact that she was a beautiful girl, but he would do what he could to help her relax. After dinner, he would judge how she was feeling and maybe they would go out to a movie. There were a few new ones out that he thought might appeal to her.
He checked himself in the mirror one last time, making sure he looked presentable. He thought he looked good. Zee gave himself a thumb’s up and laughed softly as he grabbed his jacket. Zeus had taught him well of the years, in his opinion. While he would never be as smooth as the king, Zee never had a problem with the ladies.
“Okay. Let’s do this and have a good evening,” he told himself. He peeked out of his door and made sure his siblings were still absent. They were, so he avoided the twenty questions about where he was going and with whom. Zee stepped into Concept and appeared at the Oizys’ door. He knocked politely and waited for her to answer.
