First dates are awkward, even when they're with somebody you already know like the back of your hand. It's like you have to get to know them all over again, but with a new, more romantic context. Kite avoided them like the plague. Kite avoided romance like the plague. It's not like he held any long-term romantic interests in anybody anyway, so it's not that big of a loss, right?

But of course, you just had to come in and mess it all up. You just had to waltz into his life like you owned him. And you just had to say 'yes' when he asked you out, even though it was very obviously not good for his heart...

He got what he wanted, yes he did, and this is still what he wants, but he wants very stupid things sometimes... Like going on a date despite having absolutely no experience with this kind of thing at all.

Even as he's dressed up for the occasion, with the best clothes he could find in his bland closet, even as he's rehearsed what he was going to say in the mirror as preparation for the date, even as he's standing at the agreed upon location, with a bouquet of white roses in hand, he still can't get it together. He feels like his heart is about to jump out of his throat and he's going to die... He can only be thankful that he was blessed with an unbreakable poker face.

All he has to do is wait for his partner to show up... If they even show up at all...
