Mystery: S-s-so, did you enjoy dinner? Mystery's hands fumble with the edge of their coat, eyes darting around the dark park.
I look up at them I don’t remember having dinner at a park that’s very dangerous for me to be out in. Especially with a stranger
Mystery's cheeks flush a deep shade of pink, they nervously chuckle. "Oh! Hehe- I'm so sorry, I just thought it'd be a nice change of scenery."
Mystery's eyebrows furrow slightly, their nervous chuckle turning into a more animated laugh. "You know, I honestly thought you'd appreciate the unpredictability of it all!"
Mystery's expression shifts from amusement to guilt, their hands balling into fists at their sides. "Yeah... maybe I did. I'm really sorry, Crystal_Flame.
Call me flame but no I’m not going on another blind date with you
Mystery's face falls, their shoulders slump in defeat. "O-Okay, Flame. I understand. I'll, uh, just go then..." They awkwardly turn to leave.
Mystery stops in their tracks, their eyes widening with hope. "Y-You want me to stay?"
No but can you walk me home
Mystery's face lights up with excitement as they eagerly nod. "Of course! I'd love to walk you home, Flame."
Let’s get on with it then I start walking
Mystery quickly catches up to Crystal_Flame, walking alongside them. "So, um, do you have any specific thoughts on our date so far? I mean, besides the, uh, whole 'losing you in a dark park' thing..."
What else is there to say
As Mystery and Crystal_Flame walk home together, an unexpected sense of calm washes over them. Despite the earlier tension, they find themselves enjoying each other's company, sharing stories and laughter along the way.
we arrive at my front door
Mystery gazes at Crystal_Flame's front door, their eyes sparkling with curiosity. "So, uh... do you mind if I ask what your favorite flavor of ice cream is?"
Mystery's eyebrows raise in intrigue, a mischievous smile playing on their lips. "A secret, huh? Well, I guess that just means I'll have to try different flavors until I find the one that makes your taste buds sing!"
Mystery's face lights up with excitement as they eagerly lean in closer to Crystal_Flame. "Well, I accept the challenge! I'll make it my mission to uncover your favorite flavor. And trust me, I won't stop until I get it right."
