♡ the date meme ♡
Dinner. A movie. Maybe a walk somewhere after, assuming neither of you has run out of things to say. Dates aren't supposed to be complicated. Mostly, you sit across from somebody and find out whether the conversation can carry the night. For once, nobody has to save the world before dessert. Probably. You've faced worse than a shared appetizer.
♡ Post your character. Name, canon, and preferences go in the subject line.
♡ Tag around. RNG a prompt or pick whichever one looks like trouble.
✿ ✿ ✿
01. first date. You asked. They said yes. Now there's a reservation with your name on it and no plan for what happens after the small talk runs out.
02. blind date. A mutual friend swears you two are perfect for each other. All you know going in is a name and a table number.
03. fake date. It's for the cover story, or maybe you just need your family to stop asking questions. Either way, this is completely practical.
04. bad date. Everything that could go wrong has, and the night's still young. Salvage it or order something expensive and see how much worse this can get.
05. double date. The couple who suggested this is fighting in the parking lot. You two barely know each other. Their appetizer is getting cold.
06. staying in. Takeout containers on the table. You're wearing something that probably belongs to them. Somehow this is still the best night you've had in months.
07. all dressed up. The occasion is an opera, a gala, or somebody else's wedding. Whatever it is, you both clean up better than expected, which is going to be a problem.
08. the long haul. After years together, tonight's job is proving you can still surprise each other.
09. the redo. The first attempt crashed and burned. One of you wants another shot, and asking twice turns out to be harder.
10. rivals. You can't stand each other. So why did you say yes? More importantly, why are you both trying this hard?
11. the setup gone sideways. You came along to third-wheel, chaperone, or keep an eye on somebody else's date. Then they left. The check didn't.
12. rained out. Whatever you planned isn't happening anymore. You're wet, annoyed, and making do with the first shelter you found.
13. the competition. Mini golf. Trivia night. Something that was supposed to be harmless. Then one of you started keeping score.
14. interrupted. You got fifteen good minutes before real life came looking for you again.
15. morning after. You were supposed to go home last night. That clearly didn't happen. So. Breakfast?
16. the anniversary of nothing. There's no occasion. One of you just felt like doing something nice and got a little carried away.
17. out of town. Nobody here knows either of you. That makes some things easier to say.
18. wildcard. Bring your own disaster.
