it's a beautiful niiight

[hypercompetent]

Do you remember how we all bid ridiculous amounts of money on dates for each other once upon a time?

Time to put up or shut up.
THE forcedish DATE MEME

Feeling romantic? Take your date to the top of the clocktower and look at the stars. Feeling like a quickie? The Black Stallion has all your alcohol fueled needs. Wanting a quaint date leaning over a table? Le Cafe Anglais and the Coffee Joint will help you make your dreams come true. Or, just wine and dine your date at home. Whatever it is, be creative.


You paid for this, after all!

[ Gosh Jean that was the lamest thing he's ever heard but he's glad he heard it from you of all people. ]

If you didn't...?

[ He says this with the most casual tone, not exactly fishing for an answer, instead asking out of legitimate curiosity. ]

[honestguy]

[ Jean is so red Marco can probably feel his heartbeat through his chest from how much blood is pumping to that face of his. ]

If I didn't... like, like you.

[ Normally that goes before you ask people out on a date, Jean. Or before you declare yourselves to be dating. But then again, this is Jean. ]

[halfsalute]

... Doesn't that usually come from before all the kissing, though? [ At least he thinks so. ]

Still, it goes without saying I like you too.

[ His face turns equally red to match Jean's. ]

Like, like like.

[honestguy]

W-well, yeah, but I hadn't said it in so many words, okay.

[ Jean grumbles, but he's more frustrated at himself than Marco, anyway. He's just grumpy 'cause he's embarrassed. And happy too. Marco likes him. He knows him better than anyone, and still... ]

Geez, here I am confessing to you and you gotta point that shit out...

[halfsalute]

Well, we can do it in the right order now, at least?

[ This train of thought is a byproduct of his practical way of mind, so it makes absolute sense from his perspective. ]

You can say it again, and then we'll kiss, okay?

[honestguy]

Alright, I like the way you think.

[ Jean smirks, leaning down to kiss Marco again. Any excuse is a good excuse to do that. A second (technically third) chance sounds really good. ]

I like you, Marco. Will you go out with me?

[halfsalute]

[ Even if you need a fourth, a fifth, or a sixth chance, Marco will gladly provide, Jean. ]

Of course I will!

[ And at that, he leans in a bit, giving Jean room to make his move. ]

[honestguy]

[ Marco you're seriously the best boyfriend. Would date no other. ]

Good.

[ Jean bridges the gap between them, pressing his lips against Marco's a little less awkwardly this time. He's still slow, deliberate... this moment means the world to him. ]

[halfsalute]

[ Whoops, there they go again. Marco closes his eyes when Jean closes in, moving his lips alongside the other teenager's, slowly, but with determination. There's only going to be one of this moment in his life, so he's gotta enjoy it as much as possible. Maybe he'll just lift his hand a bit to caress Jean's cheek, because apparently that's a thing people do when they're kissing? ]

[honestguy]

[ Jean wraps his arms around Marco's neck, holding him close as he kisses him. He's not super sure what a tender kiss feels like, but he's going for it, kissing his way to the edge of Marco's lips, even his jaw. Marco means the world to him, if he could make him feel like this all the time, he'd do it. If it means fumbling kisses and awkward confessions, then all the better. ]

[halfsalute]

[ And the effort that Jean is going through is more than enough to make Marco happy. He knows that when Jean sets his mind on something. he'll follow through as much as it is possible for him. Even the awkward kisses have a cute aspect to them, in part because Marco himself hasn't exactly done it before. When Jean works his way to his jaw, he can't help but let out a little whimper. And pray to the high heavens Jean hadn't heard it. ]

[honestguy]

[ Marco is... seriously too cute. Even the noises he makes just make Jean blush further, kissing over to the other side of his jaw, just to see if he'll make that noise again. He's seriously driving blind here, but maybe... with Marco... he'll have time to figure this stuff out, down the road. ]
