Date! (for bitunlikely)

[beforeyoucanblink]

Bart's door opens onto the inside of a (FANCY-SCHMANCY) restaurant, the name of which the narration will not divulge at this time. Bart managed to set up a reservation, under a v. fake name, and use some of the money from Inari to pay for this, so... they're good.

And he holds the door open for Jenny. HE IS A GENTLEMAN, you see.

"Are you? Because you didn't... look like it, but I could totally be spazzing on my Jenny happiness-meter."

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

"I'm with you. Why wouldn't I be?"

At the very least, she feels that it's that simple. Jenny offers Bart another smile and squeezes his hand.

"Just didn't expect dates to be... be this awkward. Are they? Are they always this awkward?"

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

"First dates are especially, sometimes. I didn't think it would be for us, because... it's not like we don't know each other or anything."

Jenny sipped at her water as she listened to Bart's explanation, thinking it over. It made her feel bad. She wasn't any help, was she? Everything was just so new and she wanted to understand every aspect of an actual date.

"Maybe," she murmured. "Maybe all first dates are? Like the first time we had sex? It's just meant to be strange?"

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

"Maybe.





"At least we're talking now."

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

Jenny nods eagerly and gives his hand another squeeze.

"Yeah," she agrees. "I'm glad. No one else I'd rather have my first date with."

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

Grin.

"So let's make this one memorable."

CLEARLY THE WAY TO DO THAT IS TO DOODLE A LITTLE JENNY ONNA NAPKIN.



...Not cloth, thankyouverymuch.

"It already is," Jenny answers, blushing slightly. She leans across the table to look at the drawing.

"Is that supposed to be someone I know?"

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

"What does it look like?"

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

Her cheeks redden further.

"Can I keep it?"

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

"Once it's finished."

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

And, unsurprisingly, she leans over to kiss him.

Right when the waiter brings the food.

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

Psh, the kissing is WAY more important than the food.






Waiter is amused. HE WILL WORK AROUND THEM.

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

It's when the waiter clears his throat that Jenny pulls back, smiling happily. She glances down at the appetizers that the man brought and then up at him.

"I think we're good for now."

Glance to Bart. That's what she's supposed to say, right?

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

Grin.

"Thanks."





The waiter leaves.

Kids.

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

And Jenny giggles some more.

"Is that a part of first dates, too?"

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

"Apparently it's a part of ours."

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

"I'm glad. I really do like kissing you!"

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

SO VERY SINCERE: "You have no idea how glad I am to hear it."

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

She laughs again, cheeks turning rosy as she plays with the food in front of her. "What about you? Do you like kissing me?"

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

"See, now you're just fishing for compliments."

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

More giggling. "So?"

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

Long-suffering sigh.

"Yes, Gorgeous. I practically live for your kisses, among" eyebrow-waggle "other things."

[bitunlikely.livejournal.com]

She knows she loves him for a reason. Beaming, Jenny reaches over to steal a piece of Bart's appetizer.

"Good. Because I think I'd be really upset if you didn't, Speedy."

[blinkandyoumiss.livejournal.com]

Grin.

IT IS A TESTAMENT TO HIS LOVE FOR HER THAT HE LETS HER.




...He also steals a piece of her appetizer back. >>

BUT FAST.

SO YOU CAN'T PROVE IT.
