Too Fancy For Me

Castiel pulled on the black bowtie around his neck as he stood outside of a nice restaurant. He was glad that it was one of the warmer nights because lately, it had been getting pretty nippy. He felt so awkward in the stiff suit that his mother had made him pack in case he met any girls that he was interested in. Sorry Mom, Castiel thought to himself, smirking. He ran his fingers through his bangs and scanned the area for this date, Auden. The more he stood outside, the more anxious he felt and the more scared he felt that the other boy had bailed on him. He took out his phone and leaned against the building. The first thing he checked was the time. “Oh.” He muttered. It was only 7:50. They were meeting at 8:00. Castiel felt a bit less anxious about Auden not being there. The second thing he did was text Auden. He typed out 'on ur way?', but deleted it. He wasn't going to be that clingy.
He hated this part. He was way too anxious in this new field. Was he supposed to be early? Was he supposed to be late? What was he supposed to wear? Castiel over thought everything. He didn’t want to screw it all up. But, despite his worries, he looked up at the night sky, smiling at the same stars that he’d been under when he met Auden.

Castiel looked over at the boy next to him, smiling. He was relieved that Auden hadn’t ditched him. The other boy was formal to the third degree, which Castiel had thought was impossible. It was kinda funny, but pretty cute. He thought about what to say back for a moment, then pecked Auden on the cheek and said, “Right back at ya.”

He stood awkwardly for a second wondering what to do. Should they go in or should they wait outside a bit more? He decided to shuffle to the glass door and open it, gesturing to Auden that he should enter. He hoped that he didn’t seem too awkward. Maybe he did, but he really hoped he didn’t.

His statement really did give Castiel some reassurance. When Auden grabbed his hand, he instinctively clutched it a bit hard, but quickly realized and loosened his grip. He really wasn’t used to all this romantic couple-y stuff, but he really wanted to get used to it quickly so that he wasn’t the most awkward boyfriend ever. He still wasn’t used to that word either. Boyfriend. It sounded like something that only happy, popular people were allowed to say. He was pretty happy to be here, though.

Castiel was glad that Auden had gone with one of the isolated booths. He didn’t feel like being around anyone else. Castiel smirked and replied, “I’m paying the bill, though.” He didn’t want to make Auden pay all of the cost, and this looked like a really fancy restaurant where the coffee cost $10. He had actually asked for his allowance early, so he had all the money he needed plus some. Every kiss that Auden planted on him sent a shockwave up his body. He leaned closer to Auden and kissed his cheek.

[BCOLOR=transparent]He didn’t even care that he was blushing anymore. He wasn’t really embarrassed at all; if anything he was just embarrassed that he hadn’t said anything flattering back to Auden. It wasn’t any fun to just keep receiving without giving. Sadly, he still sucked at even trying to be romantic or giving compliments at all. He couldn’t think of a single thing to say back. He really wished that someone would just hand him a book titled, ‘How to date Auden Verchetty 101’. If only.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]He kind of hoped that the other boy meant a pig organ or something, but he knew that wasn’t the reality. He still didn’t really know what Auden was, but he was willing to put that aside; what was the worst it could be? He didn’t really want an answer to that. “Um, uh…” He leaned over slightly to get a better look. [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]Oh boy nope they have human meat on the menu my worst suspicions are confirmed. [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]He was kind of freaked out, but not really. People need to eat, and if that means hunting another species, then really; what's so immoral about that? They weren't being cannibals, after all. Castiel pointed to an item in the salads section (which was adjacent to the ‘exotic meats’ section). “I think I’ll just have this.” He was pretty sure that the worst item in that meal was pine nuts. He quickly added, “Oh, and some iced tea.”[/BCOLOR]

A wave of relief swept over Castiel. His food of choice had passed the test. The significant other test. (In Castiel’s opinion, it was the hardest test in the world.) He was really nervous. Actually, nervous was an understatement. He was about to have a nervous breakdown. He knew that he shouldn’t be nervous around Auden, but he was. This was like their second time legitimately talking (if you could call their last meeting ‘talking’.) God, he just really wanted this to work out for more than a week.

He gave a small laugh with a forced smile. That last part made him worry a bit more. How old was Auden exactly? He seemed to be around his age, but on this island, looks were quite deceiving. He really really wanted to ask Auden if their relationship was even legal. But, he didn’t.

He didn’t know what to respond. Was the appropriate thing to say here, ‘Let’s have a nice conversation and talk the night away’? Probably not, considering what they’d been doing before. He decided to mutter, “I don’t know…”, quickly adding, “I guess whatever you want to do?”
