Rose glanced towards his fridge. He hadn’t found anything worth eating in there. “That sounds very nice, actually..”

Cade smiled widely. "Great! Where do you wanna meet?" He cleared his throat, hoping he didn't sound too eager.

“We could meet at the café and go from there?” Rose suggested, walking into his bedroom with his phone, quickly getting undressed.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
"Sure. Where's the cafe at?"
pets
(Oh my god, nO my boy is innocent dammit)
“It’s just right down the street from the book store, on 48th,” Rose said as he looked through his closet, tossing a few items of clothing onto his bed.
(are you sure about that ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))
"Cool," Cade said, walking over to his room and grinning. "I'll see you there in about fifteen minutes then?"
pets
(maybe)
“Yes, fifteen minutes that sounds good,” Rose said as he pulled a shirt on over his head.
"Okay, see you then." Cade hung up the phone and stared at himself in the mirror, wondering what to wear. His mouth had gone very dry, and he wondered if he could make it to the cafe without bringing a gallon of water along with him. Probably not.

Rose adjusted his shirt, thinking it would be fine. He looked though various drawers, eventually taking out a pair of jeans and stepping into them. He pulled them up and buttoned them, looking at himself in a mirror. He thought that he looked decent enough. He didn’t know if this dinner was supposed of be casual or more on the fancy side. He really should have asked…
Cade looked through his closet for a few minutes before finally deciding that he would wear a casual button down with pants. He grabbed the nicest shoes he had, which were actually just sneakers, and grabbed a gallon of water from the fridge. With that, he headed out the door.

Rose double check his appearance in the mirror as he ran a comb through his messy hair, doing his best to tame the wild strands. He eventually gave up on that. He slipped on his cleaner sneakers and grabbed his wallet from the counter before leaving his apartment and heading to the café.
A few minutes later, Cade arrived, and half of the water gallon was already gone. He looked around nervously for Rose.
(Gtg to bed now, see ya tomorrow!)
pets
(Seeyah!)
Rose eventually arrived, looking around for Cade when he stepped in. He eventually spotted the man and walked over, hands stuffing themselves into the front pockets of his fitting jeans. “Hey,” he greeted with a slight smile.
Cade saw him and gave a small wave, smiling back. "Hi," he said. "Where's the mural?"
pets
“It’s over here,” Rose said, motioning for him to follow as he walked to a back wall. There was a sheet hanging up, something the manager had put up so Ross cud work without distraction. He nudged the curtain aside and motioned to the partially painted wall of what seemed to be part of a forest. “That’s all I have done so far..”
Cade stared at it in awe, blinking a couple of times before turning back to Rose. "It's beautiful so far. Where did you learn to paint like that?"
pets
“I’m sort of self taught. I’ve had a lot of time to learn,” Rose said, laughing timidly. A few centuries of learning could do wonders. “And thank you.”
"Really? I'm pretty old, and I can't even come close to making something like that, no matter how much I practice."
pets
Rose arched a light colored brow question. “How old are you, exactly?” He asked, looking over at Cade.
He rubbed the back of his neck. "Oh, um, 22? Not that old, now that I think about it…" His mouth was getting very dry.
pets
Rose giggled softly and nodded. “Yeah, you’re still young. I thi- I am 20,” he quickly corrected. That was just an estimate. He looked a bit young for how old he was in demon years.
Cade raised his eyebrows. "You think?"
pets
“I didn’t mean to say that, I’m 20,” Rose said quickly, cheeks beginning to get red as the back of his neck heated up. Please don’t tell me I already messed up…
Cade frowned. Was Rose lying about his age? I guess I can't really say anything about it though, since I'm lying too, he thought. Cade smiled at him. "Just stumbled on your words?"
pets
“Yeah, you’re a bit intimidating,” Rose said, rubbing at the back of his neck as he glanced towards the mural.
"Intimidating?" He asked, his smile falling. Was he really scaring Rose? Was it because he was a demon?
pets
“No, don’t worry!” Rose said quickly, a slight stammer in his tone. “I just get intimidated easily by, er- attractive people.” His cheeks tinted a shade or two darker after adding in the last part, and he wondered why he had felt the need to add that.
"Y-you think I'm attractive?" Cade stammered. He could feel his face heating up.
pets
“Mhm,” Rose hummed, nodding his head. He didn’t even try to answer that question with words, fearing it would sound squeaky or hoarse.
Rose paused for a moment, not sure what to say. "Well, I think you're very attractive, too."
