[closed] what the hell is a friend date

[sayonaradumbass]

Who: the arcade princess (tiarae) and this piece of garbage (sayonaradumbass)
When: backdated to the 10th
Where: the school gate, the ice cream shop
What: a FRIEND date
Rating/Warning: G because Kaneda will be THE PERFECT GENTLEMAN ok


[It's not that he hadn't expected her to say yes-- plenty of girls fall prey to his charms-- but it's probably the fact that she hasn't fallen and is agreeing in turn-- that's what gets him.

This might be more nervewracking than any first date because its a frienddate!! So he waits at the gate of the school, leaning against it, actually. Try as he might to be cool, he looks a little nervous.]

[tiarae]

[Luckily, as a student, it doesn't take Usagi long to show up, for once without her usual premade lunch, since they had planned this in advance. She hasn't dawdled or been too distracted by friends to be too late in leaving class either.

So it isn't long after the bell rings that she shows up, hair trailing behind her as she gives a wave. If she does even notice the attempt to look cool, she isn't commenting on it as she approaches closer.]

Kaneda-kun!

[sayonaradumbass]

[that's mature of her, which is more than we can say about this guy. But he grins when he sees her, waves.]

Hey. Glad you could make it. [as if she wasn't right there] You ready to go on one hell of a ride?

[he jerks his chin towards his motorcycle]

[tiarae]

A ride....?

[Oh. Well. She could roll with it. It could be fun. She had been expecting they would probably just walk, but if this gets them around faster.]

Did you have another helmet?

[Well. Her hair is probably going to trail along behind them regardless but. Safety and all.]

[sayonaradumbass]

[no this is about 100x cooler okay!!

he pops the one he's got onto his hip, then passes it to her.]

Here. Try this on for size.

[tiarae]

Oh, thanks!

[Just give her a moment to probably need to undo her hair from it's trademark buns in order to get the helmet on first. But the helmet seems to fit well enough, and Usagi simply attempts to quickly tie her hair back in a low ponytail before waiting for him to get on. She's just going to assume she'll be sitting behind him.

Which only then registers the necessity of such proximity and at least the helmet mostly hides the flush that results at the thought of this with anyone but Mamoru.]

Just -- Don't you dare make me fall off.

[sayonaradumbass]

And mess up your pretty face? Wouldn't dream of it.

[he laughs a little, but it isn't a mean laugh. With that, he hops on in front of her and immediately revvs the damn thing. Just to scare her, just to get her ready. She must be used to it-- maybe her way ultra cool Prince of a boyfriend takes her on rides.

But she's riding with an asshole so. He speeds off almost immediately.]

[tiarae]

[Usagi doesn't get a chance to really respond to that teasing. Beyond something of an initial yelp of surprise at the sudden movement, as she latches onto him around his waist. It takes a moment before she then seems to calm and enjoy it more.]

[sayonaradumbass]

[there is nothing quite like riding with someone. he's missed it just a little. even without all the action and violence, there's just something about it.

at least she isn't screaming in his ear. their speed levels now, something a little less exciting thankfully]

[tiarae]

[Once he slows a little, her grip around his waist loosens a little, and she seems to be enjoying it more, laughing at one point before she asks:]

So, where are we going?

[She'd suggested ice cream. But there was more than one place that sold it, of course.]

[sayonaradumbass]

[again better than screaming

he describes the ice scream joint, mouth quirked]

The best place I know of in this joint. Got toppings galore....and its cheap too.

[tiarae]

Cheap toppings? I'm so there! Yes!

[Usagi please contain the enthusiasm for your sweet tooth and keep hold of Kaneda's waist while moving.....]

[sayonaradumbass]

[that's alright he won't be able to contain it either
or his stomach tbh
spurred on, he revvs this sucka and speeds a little more now]

Cheap and fatty-- the best kind!

[tiarae]

There's a non fatty kind of ice cream?

[If there is, it probably lacks in taste, Usagi figures, pouting at the thought even as her grip tightens around his waist when he speeds up again. That hardly seems fair. And she'd probably still go with the full fat option if only for the taste regardless of having other possibilities with less fat.]

[sayonaradumbass]

[he laughs-- he can't see her pout but he can imagine it easily enough.

thankfully there it is up ahead. now to find a parking spot]

Nah-- or if they do its bullshit-fat.

[tiarae]

But this place has proper ice cream, you said!

[She gets more excited once they get closer, as they go round the parking lot to find somewhere to park his bike. She'll wait till he stops and gets off first before climbing down herself and removing the helmet.]

[sayonaradumbass]

It's proper, it's proper. No worries.

[will he be an asshole and take up two parking spaces? yes, yes he will. he absolutely does. finally, he cuts the engine off. When Usagi's hopped off, he climbs on down after her.]

Shall we?

[tiarae]

Yes! [Usagi all but bounces on the spot, once they are both ready to head inside, eager to go in and try what treats they have available. Kaneda wouldn't be wrong to half compare her to taking a four year old for ice cream at this point. But Usagi has always loved her food. Particularly sweets.]

Let's go!

[sayonaradumbass]

[at least he's gentlemanly enough to open the door for her. and the clerk behind the biiiiig tubs of ice cream in the cooler is nice enough.]

Go on, take a look.

[tiarae]

Yes!

[Just gonna. Basically dash right on in to check the menu. Pretty much going all heart eyes at it.]

I want tha---no, th--hm. No, this one!

[Pointing to the most chocolate and sugar laden thing on the menu, of course.]

[sayonaradumbass]

[he laughs; that's adorable. it never ceases to amaze him how excited girls get about ice cream]

You sure? That your final answer?

[tiarae]

Yes! I'm sure.

[Hey, she's a cheap date, and it really doesn't take much to amuse and please Usagi when it comes down to it. She gets out her wallet to pay for her share before standing to the side to let him order.]

[sayonaradumbass]

[shushing her and tutting (like someone's grandmother!!) he orders, takes out his wallet and says

'and hers too']

Didn't I say this was a date? Friend date or not.

[tiarae]

Hm? O-oh. Okay then. If I want another one, I'll pay for that.

[Because Usagi does love her food. It wouldn't be that surprising for her to devour the ice cream and then later complain about a stomachache.]

[sayonaradumbass]

[he probably won't let her pay for it, but it is what it is. He watches, grinning, as their ice cream is readied for them.]

[tiarae]

Ice cream!

[Usagi chants, sing-song as she reaches for hers once it's ready, licking her lips as she then watches his be finished scooping up for him.]

Where did we want to sit?
