WHO: Barty & Lily II WHEN: whenever we were planning it. lol WHERE: the fancy restaurant WHAT: a date! (or at least that's what Barty hopes!) RATING: duno
Barty was excited, although he was trying to pretend like he wasn't. He wasn't supposed to care whether Lily liked him or not. Although after spending so much time with her, Barty couldn't really help it. She was intelligent, and that was actually sort of rare in women. And she kept him on his toes without being crazy about it. (Unlike Bellatrix, who was crazy about everything!) Barty liked spending time with her, so it only stood to reason that he would be happy about it, right? Of course! It wasn't like there was anything else to do on this ship... although if there was he would probably still want to spend time with Lily. Maybe it was just his desire to not be hated for no reason. But still, he would definitely be making the most of this.
Having stood in front of his closet for nearly half an hour, Barty finally gave up trying to dress nicely. He wasn't a very snappy dresser anyway. He knew nothing about fashion. Barty was lucky if he matched half the time or his clothes actually fit him. Finally he just grabbed a pair of black pants and a black button up. Tossing them on the bed, he hopped in the shower before getting dressed. And then he paced for about twenty minutes until it was almost time to go pick up Lily. He stopped at the florist to pick up some more lilies for her before heading to her room.
Standing with the flowers in his hand, Barty stood outside Lily's door nervously for a few moments. Then she swallowed the lump in his throat and knocked. Brushing his free hand through his hair, Barty smiled as he waited. He'd never been on an actual date, if that's even what this was, so he was really really hoping not to screw this up.
