date: july 8th
time: 7 PM-- Spencer had spent a ridiculous amount of time being reassured by Ryan that yes, he looked fine, and that his outfit didn't look stupid. He sort of assumed he was lying. Ryan would say he looked nice in anything! He felt so weird and out of place in something so... nice. The shirt wasn't even his, he had stolen it from Vincent under the guise of needing it for Wicked. Nope. He didn't need it for Wicked. Haha, nope. He really hoped he didn't throw up all over it. God, he was nervous! There wasn't even anything to be nervous about. Because this absolutely wasn't a date - no, it definitely wasn't! He'd only dressed up. And bullied one of his Japanese friends into making a reservation at a restaurant. And got Scarlett flowers. Peonies! He heard she liked them. That was nice, right? That was what Cool Guys did. He was definitely a Cool Guy. If there was anything Spencer Reznik was, it was cool! ... He couldn't go through with ringing the doorbell. What if someone answered and he didn't know how to talk anymore? He was very liable to just start babbling in some horrible mix of Polish, Japanese, and English. He had to, though. Be a man, Spencer! Spencer shook his head, got all the nerves out, and rang the doorbell.

When Scarlett had been asked if she wanted to hang out she'd been keen but also feeling slightly low. Normally any kind of 'hanging out' involved Finn, Ryan, or several other members of the squad. Usually all at once. That wasn't to say she didn't like spending time with them all, she did, she just... Wanted a smaller group to spend time with. When Spencer asked her if she wanted to do something, that was how she assumed the night would be; picked up, travelling to a place with the squad, eat while they're out, home in time for a hot cup of tea and an online game of GTA. After all, it wasn't like it was a date or anything. Not yet anyway. That wasn't to say she couldn't look nice!! She looked wonderful. As always. Her outfit one of her favourites. When the doorbell rang she hurried downstairs while one of the maids answered it, Scarlett insisting she could handle it hurriedly. The maid raised an eyebrow and left. As soon as Scarlett got to the doorway she saw something that she wasn't expecting but wasn't complaining about. Spencer looked smart! And he had flowers! And there didn't seem to be anyone with him! Oh dear god they were peonies. She could feel her cheeks getting warm and she swallowed thickly, smiling brightly at the taller boy. "Hey Spencer!" Was that too eager? It felt like it. She cringed mentally but managed to keep up a smile. |

Spencer beamed at Scarlett. "Hey. You look nice." Nailed it.
He glanced down at the flowers, holding them out towards Scarlett. "Uh, I got these for you." Was this weird? No, this was what Luke had told him to do and Luke was always right about everything. Spencer trusted his expert opinion! "They're peonies."
Duh, Spencer. Of course she knows they're peonies, she likes peonies.
Spencer really hoped he didn't come off as weird or something. Or creepy. Or too into it. Fuck. What if she didn't actually want anything like this!? And why was he so nervous about it? This wasn't like him at all!

When the flowers were held out she reached out and took them gently, fingers brushing against his as she did so. "They're beautiful, thank you!" She drew them closer to herself quickly, "I love peonies, thank you!" She stared down at them, looking up and then smiling brightly, "Come in for a minute, I'll find a vase." She rushed off quickly.
She didn't actually find a vase but she did find a maid who said she'd find a vase and put them in Scarlett's room. Reappearing in the entrance hall, she headed back over and held her hands behind her back, "So what's the plan?"
Her heart beat was starting to race. Flowers, a smart shirt, seemingly alone... was this supposed to be a date? Had... Had Spencer asked her on a date?
Oh god. This was totally a date.
Her heart fluttered pleasantly in her chest as she pulled absentmindedly at a strand of her hair, twirling it around her finger.

Spencer stood in Scarlett's entryway awkwardly, afraid to move an inch. Or touch anything. Or breathe, really. Her house was so nice, what the hell? How was he even existing in here right now?
Then she came back and he straightened up and stopped staring at the wall, wondering if there were actual gold flakes in the paint. "Hey! Uh, we're going to a restaurant. Have you heard of, um... Pasta no Tabi?" He'd checked the reviews online (and then promptly ran them through Translate because he knew like four of those words), it seemed like a pretty good place. Hopefully Scarlett liked it. Or would like it.

"Yeah! I have! It sounds really nice!" That was an understatement. It was supposed to be pretty classy. Not gilded truffle fancy, but definitely classy. Her heart fluttered in her chest, "Don't you need reservations to go there though?"
Shifting her handbag so it sat on her opposite shoulder she headed to the door, holding it open for Spencer to slip out before calling out to whoever was inside, "I'll be home later!" She pulled the door shut, before hurrying down the front path to catch up with Spencer.
Smiling brightly, she reached up to hold onto his arm, "Shall we?" If this really was supposed to be a date, then she'd be damned if she'd waste the time while she had it.

"Oh, that's great!" Spencer said with a laugh, "I was terrified you'd be like..." He threw his voice into a high-pitched, poorly-accented version of Scarlett's actual voice, "no, Spencer, it sucks and I'm leaving right now and also telling everyone you're a nerd! Here's 1000 yen, go! Fetch! or something..."
Well, that hadn't happened. So that was good, at least. He decided to ignore her comment about reservations, but gave her a silent nod. That had been an... adventure, to say the least. Spencer loosened his arm up a little, letting Scarlett hold onto it better. "Yeah, let's go." He smiled down at her. "Will you be okay walking to the station in those shoes?"

She brought a hand to her mouth quickly, holding back a laugh at the impression before holding her other hand up, "Okay firstly, I don't sound like that, secondly, you're confusing me for Prim!" She stopped for a minute, "Don't tell her I said that, she'll kill me." She shook her head then smiled at him, fluttering her eyelashes, "You also say that like it won't happen." She grinned teasingly. "Give it an hour,"
"Spencer, I live in heels, trust me I'll be fine." She waved her spare hand, "Besides it's not like the station's far so don't worry." They walked in silence for a while, Scarlett quite content to hug his arm, before she spoke up again.
"So how was your day? Anything interesting happen?"

"I mean, feel free to throw money at some point. I'd absolutely run and get it and probably fall on my face." Spencer raised his eyebrows at Scarlett, his eyes dragging downwards towards her feet again.
He didn't get how people walked in heels! It was so hard! Impossible, even! "You're a far braver one than I." He fell silent, mostly listening to the cicadas screaming the stupid song of their people. He was already over those things. How long was it until they all died off?
"Oh, uh..." Spencer thought about it, shrugged. "Nothing really happened. Luke found another cat by our building and wants to become friends with it." He rolled his eyes. "What about you?"

"Oh well, when you put it like that..." She raised her eyebrows in reply to him then rolled her eyes, squeezing his arm gently, "I'm kidding."
"Ah... I haven't done a lot. Yu-Ri came round earlier and we watched about half a season of Kamen Rider W." She smiled slightly, "She wants to cosplay genderbends at this convention that's coming up, she's really set on it too." She laughed slightly.
Once they got to the station and got onto the train, Scarlett sat down on a seat at the side, shifting closer to Spencer as people sat on either side of them. She rested her handbag on her lap, sitting quietly as the train moved. Reaching into her handbag, she pulled out her phone and found the selfies she'd taken with Yu-Ri earlier that day, holding them up for Spencer to see and flicking through them, smiling to herself. When the train pulled up to the next station she stood up, putting her phone away and adjusting her handbag, holding onto Spencer's arm as they got out of the train.
"Yeah, we looked cute today." She smiled to herself as they left the station, "And we've been running through stuff for the Idol Showcase! It's gonna be great! Did you want to come? I'm gonna be in it and Finn is too... And Yu-Ri, so you should come and see me-- Us." She swallowed and looked forward hurriedly, "You know, if you wanted too."

Wow, people actually sat next to him on the train this time! Maybe it was just because he was with Scarlett, but Spencer was still ridiculously proud of himself - he wasn't completely avoided and shunned! Woohoo!
"Aw, you guys are cute." He'd never understand how girls were so good at selfies. Every time he took one he looked stupid, but even if he was with just Ryan (who wasn't even a girl) or Yu-ri he'd instantly look way cooler in selfies with them! How did they do that!? He decided it was because they were just cuter people in general. Yeah.
Stepping out of the train and towards the stairs leading out of the station, then out entirely into the still-warm night, Spencer glanced towards Scarlett at her mention of the idol club showcase. "Yeah, of course! That'd be cool. Finn told me some stuff about it, he's super hyped. What are you performing?"

Her chest squeezed at being called cute. Of course she knew she was cute but it was always nice to be told so. And technically she hadn't been the only one in the picture so she wasn't the only cute one. But it was something. She clasped her hands together, lacing her fingers together and looking down, smiling slightly.
"He really is excited, he's been practicing a lot!" Scarlett smiled and then looked hurriedly at her nails, "I'm dancing with Deedee, and then I'm doing a song with her and another girl in the club, then I'm doing Zoetrope and You are in love." She smiled, but then added quickly, "I'm also doing something with Yu-Ri but it's gonna be a surprise!" She grinned, holding a finger to her lips.
"Oh, and I need to gather in votes for what our class wants to do for the term trip, and I want to get the cheer team to nationals this year." She sighed, patting her cheeks, "So much to do! It's going to be so busy this term! I'll be rushed off my feet!" She shook her head then reached up to hold onto Spencer's arm again, "And then there's Wicked as well. I'm glad that I'm just going to get wheeled around for most of it. How're rehearsals and stuff going for you?"

Spencer stared at Scarlett, awe dragging across his face. "Jesus. And you still manage to have time to marathon RWBY with little old me? Good God, child," he smirked at her, the smirk quickly easing into a real smile. Scarlett was probably not even human!
He recoiled at the mention of rehearsals. Ugh. God. "Ugh, god," he groaned, "they're going okay, I guess. I get almost no time to rehearse my scenes because the director is so damn obsessed with Shrek and having her scenes be perfect. There's a lot of me sitting around waiting for stuff to do." He sighed wearily, shaking his head. "I feel bad for everyone else in this trainwreck. Shit, I feel bad for the people coming to see it. I pity anyone remotely involved in this thing."

"If I don't have something to do for too long I get fidgety," She shook her head, "I'm better being busy and doing stuff otherwise I'll just get bored." Smiling coyly, she added, "You say that like I wouldn't make time for you, whatever I was doing. If I can make time for GTA, I can make time for you."
When he started talking about rehearsals, she covered her mouth quickly to stop the laughter threatening to happen, "You can't call her Shrek!" She did laugh, hand failing to stifle it, "Oh, you're so mean!" She listened, lowering her hand and then smiled sympathetically, patting his arm, "I know, it sucks. I'd really like to do a full run through soon." She shrugged, "And we really need to do scenes with other people. One person doesn't make a show, come on." She was quiet again for a moment, "I think... We could pull it out of the bag on the night... But it's gonna need work. A lot of work."
She huffed then shook her head, "Let's talk about something happy."

Spencer flung his free arm into the air. "Why can't I call her Shrek!?" He stared incredulously at Scarlett, eyes blown wide. "Honestly! She sets it up herself!" Clearly, Scarlett was just here to destroy one of the few things that brought joy to his life. Why did she hate him when he showed her nothing but love!?
"Happy? Uh... I don't know if I can really do happy. I'm tough and mean, remember?" Spencer squinted, trying to look all ~tough~. "I'm Spencer, the greatest bully that ever bullied!"
