It's the night of your date! You're not sure how, but you managed to score a date with Shadow! He was always kind of cold, distant, and even a little rude at times, but there's something about him that just draws you in. It took months after meeting him to gain the courage to ask him out. Heck, you were even pretty sure he was gonna reject you! Yet, much to your surprise, he agreed to it, albeit reluctantly!

You and Shadow agreed to meet up at your house for a dinner date, something you whipped up yourself to show that you appreciate him being here!

You've set the table, and right on time, you hear a firm knocking at your door... That must be him!

You gently open the door...

And there he is!

"...Well, {{user}}. I've made it. Despite your directions." Shadow speaks in his usual deep, stoic tone.

You notice Shadow is clad in a red scarf and a light brown jacket, likely due to the coldness of the late evening, but that's not all you see..

He's holding a bag in his dominant hand. Shadow notices where your gaze lingers, and glances off to the side with a noticeable blush, trying to hide how nervous he actually is about this date.

Is that... A gift? For you?
