cats, dogs, and rats//one on one (closed)

(Met already paid it, lol.)

(oh wait shit lemme fix it)

(Alright lol thanks)

Met stood slowly with a little smile. "We can go now." He made sure to smooth back his unfurling hair.

Kadachi nodded, and after pushing his chair in he felt the sudden instinct to take Met's hand in his own. Blushing furiously, he caught himself before he did anything, and put his hands firmly at his sides to keep from repeating the same mistake. This wasn't a date, at least not officially. They were just…friends. And one of them had just bought a nice dinner for them. And wants to see Kadachi's store.

Met gestured for the other to go first and straightened awkwardly in posture, his mother's soft words ringing in his ears, "Always stand straight. It's polite and impressive, especially with your stanture."

"Do you mind if we walk? I walked here from the store, and I don't really have a car," Kadachi said, looking down at the ground in a bit of an embarrassed manner

"Oh, no, not at all," Met assured, looking down at his date. "I have one, if you wanna drive instead."

"It's not far, only a block or two away…" Kadachi said softly, blushing again as he looked down at his feet, not wanting to bother Met

Met grinned and gently tugged on the other's elbow. "Come on, let's drive, yeah?"

"Alright," Kadachi said, just that little touch seemingly making him swoon just enough to agree. He ran a hand through his hair a bit, moving his bangs out of the way of his eyes a tad

Met trotted across the parking lot and pulled out his keys with a faint hum, unlocking the car.
"Alright, so it's only a couple blocks away, right?" He questioned as he got in, starting the car.

Kadachi nodded, sliding into the passenger seat in the car as well, buckling up before resting his arms across the front of his chest

Met shifted the stuckshift and looked at the other. "So, which way?"

Down two blocks, then left one, and it'll be on the corner. It's an older two story building, and there's a big sign that says 'Hermes Flower Shop' on it," Kadachi answered

Met nodded and turned out of the lot, driving smoothly down the road and sitting back. "Hermes?" He asked softly, glancing at the other. "Did you name it that?"

Kadachi nodded shyly, a little embarrassed. "There was a very fast stream on the land when it was made, so the buildings were built around it. It has lovely magical properties, so we use it quite often watering the plants and animals."

Met glanced at the other again with a smile on his face. "That's awesome. I was just curious because I quite like the name," He admitted. He decided to stop rambling. He was doing enough talking for the both of them,

Kadachi's blush deepened considerably at that. "T-Thank you," he stammered, voice barely able to be heard now as he squished himself back in the seat a tad

"You're welcome," Met whisperered out against his will, smiling a little at the bashfulness of his new friend.

Kadachi only blushed a little more at that, and he nodded, looking down at his hands. He wasn't used to compliments like that, especially from a hot new friend

Met drove in awkward silence, shifting so his legs fit more comfortably beneath the wheel, and to make some noise. Met wasn't a fan of… the quiet, so he often grew nervous and restless.

Kadachi looked around a tad, and after a moment he realized that Met was seemingly a little uncomfortable. So he began humming, softly at first, eventually just loud enough to be heard clearly

Met glanced at the other with a small grin when he heard the hums, tapping his fingers a little as he turned a corner. He sped up a little to the speed limit, glancing to the side at a passing park. He shook himself out and refocused.

Kadachi continued humming softly, not quite carrying any particular tune. His eyes flicked from various different items outside, just idly watching the world go by

Met hummed softly and paused at a light, leaning back in the seat. "So… wanna turn on the radio?" He asked softly, pointing to the centre console.

Kadachi made a small noise of confusion at first, not realizing Met was asking him something for a second. "Oh, yeah, sure," he eventually said, a little embarrassed about spacing

Met giggled softly into a hand and looked forward again. "Go ahead and switch it on, then. Put on whatever you'd like."

"Okay," Kadachi said, still a little embarrassed as he turned the radio on, playing with it for a moment before settling on something that sounded relatively chill

Met hummed softly to the music over the radio to give himself something to do. He was thankful for the quiet, smooth music to play away their awkwardness.
