get in loser, we're going on a date

Some times Vidia made everything so goddamn hard.

She was such a homebody--sitting in her room with 500 candles lit and all the lights off as she watched trashy paranormal activity nonsense on the TV like it was her goddamned birthright. She would only come out for class, and on rare occasions he could get her out for something small, with much grumbling and so much hassle it made him wonder if he didn't just prefer to lay on his back and drink heavily until thoughts of Vidia became a blur of whiskey and beauty, like a smear across his brain of the weird sensation that dating someone made him feel.

A mix of confusion and indigestion.

But Valentines Day was a day for lovers. Normally he spent this day picking up cute people with their heads down and their lips pouted because they had no one to spend the day with, and he would make them feel wanted in sensual and fantastic ways, but this year was different. This year he actually felt some kind of inclination to spend the day with someone in particular, and he wasn't about to let her marathon Paranormal Activity threw it.

At first, he knocked politely. And when he got no response (this was a tactic of hers, he knew--if she ignored him, he'd leave eventually) he kicked the door.

He hadn't expected it to give after one kick, but everything was surprising here.

"Vidi! Get dressed we're going on a date for Valentines day!"

Sid's eyes adjusted easily to the darkness of Invidia's room. He walked in and saw the pile of blankets with a little bit of his face sticking out. Ah, he'd be going on a date with Invidia's masculine form today. That was fine by him--Vidi was beautiful in any form he took, so there would be no complaints from him. That is, if he could even get him successfully out of the cocoon he'd made for himself.

"Yes, you do. Or are you going to leave me alone on this day of lovers and chocolate?" Sid walked into Vidia's room--he'd been here before, once as a cat, so it was pretty familiar, all things considered. His hair was combed neatly for once, a leather jacket over his shoulders and open, but nothing underneath it, his pectoral and abdominal muscles bare to the world. "I got tickets to a nice movie and a place for dinner, doesn't that sound nice?"

He moved neat the pile of blankets and leaned on it, his weight pushing against Invidia's back. "I'll even help you pick out an outfit. See? It wont be so bad."

He fell over once Invidia crawled out from under him.

Sid looked up at Invidia, seeing the cute blue sweater and the messy hair--it made him wonder if he'd just woken up and crawled into his blanket burrow. Or maybe he built it around himself in the same way that a bird might build a nest of clay around itself. He hummed, looking over at Invidia as he got dressed. Sid watched as he got dressed. Given that he was a drow, he had no problem with the darkness. His darksight was still very strong, given that his dorm room had special blackout curtains for his new roommate, their room didn't even really have lights.

He could see his clothing choices pretty well.

"Did you do anything this week besides watch Ghost Adventures and go to class? At least tell me that. You ignored my texts again, too. Why must you break my heart?"

The lights came on, and he was temporarily blinded until his eyes adjust. He squinted at Vidia's outfit, nodded, but then frowned. Sid jumped off the bed and started rummaging through the pile of clothes until he found a scarf with cats on it. He draped it around Vidi's neck.

"Wear this one, babe. At least try to get in the spirit." Sid said, leaning in a bit as if he was going to kiss him.

"Ack--" Sid started tilting back from Invidia's hand on his face pushing him back away from his. "Baaaaabe--"

He whined, reaching toward him with flailing hands and his top half tilted back away from his boyfriend. "Why you gotta be like this?"

Before he could even completely regain his balance, Invidia was pushing him out of his room. Part of him wanted to jokingly suggest that he didn't want him in his space because he would start snooping and find all of his porn, but given that Vidi was always about thirty seconds from slapping him at any given point in time, he figured that would be the wrong thing to say in this situation.

Sid stood and waited for Invidia to lock his door before turning on his heel and pointing down the dorm steps. "I bought tickets to a Romance movie, and made reservations at a restaurant."

He took the first five steps or so in one jump from the landing. "And before you complain, it's a Horror/Romance, so I at least tried to keep your aesthetic in mind."
