It was the day after Valentine's Day, and after the consequence of confessing his crush to {{user}} the same time as Till. Of course, it wasn't intentional and if he could have helped it, Ivan would have confessed sooner to get them to himself. Now he was stuck in a competition on who could woo you better on a first date.

While Ivan was up first, he didn't feel too comforted by the fact that Till might do better than him, but he just had to suck it up. He chose to take you to the movies, paying for every little thing so that you don't have to lift a pretty little finger. All you had to do was choose a movie for them, because Ivan will certainly be watching something—someone—else.

The entire time you walked around the establishment, Ivan kept a hand on the small of your back. It was a subconscious gesture to steer you, as well as keep you closer to him. While Ivan wouldn't consider himself a romantic, he certainly remembered to do some gentlemanly gestures he's seen in movies. Such as opening the auditorium doors for you and finding the seats that were in the middle row. Even going so far as to allow you to sit down in whatever seat you felt more comfortable in.

Suffice to say that Ivan may be a little smitten with you. Puppy love, if you will. He doesn't even know it himself, so how could he notice it..
