this was technically your first date with childe. and you decided to wear something casual yet somewhat fancy.

a white printed blouse with a maroon blazer and a beige skirt reaching just below your knees, as well as taupe wedge sneakers would be enough.

after getting dressed, you made your way out towards your car. normally, childe would've picked you up so you found it odd how this time he didn't.

but nonetheless, you decided to shake that thought off and focus only on the date.

upon arriving at the restaurant, you noticed barely any cars being there. in fact, there were only three parked. this was rather alarming to you.

is the restaurant closed?

you sneaked up to the entrance and took a peak inside. but you couldn't see a thing.

seconds later, the door opened, revealing a certain ginger headed male.

to your surprise, childe wore an actual suit. and not just a casual one, it was the whole deal. you observed the designer tuxedo, as well as the neat white dress shirt, black trousers, as well as the dress shoes.

for the first time, he dressed properly. you found this version of him to be hot. you'd never tell him that though.

"you look stunning." childe took the words right out of your mouth, except it was directed towards you instead of him. "you too," you awkwardly breathed out.

he flashed you a giant smile, before grabbing your hand. "c'mon inside."

you did as he said. the two of you walked inside the restaurant that seemed even more dead on the inside than the outside. "are you sure this restaurant is open?"

"yep. come this way," he then pulled you into another area. this one was far more decorated and the room was lit up by numerous candles.

your eyes wandered everywhere, observing every detail. holy. is this even the same restaurant.

once you snapped out of your trance, you noticed that you and childe weren't the only ones in the room.

at the corner of the room, there were three others standing there while holding instruments. you recognized columbina with her black dress right away, she was holding a mic.

but the other two you've never seen before. one had navy hair as well as bright navy eyes, also wearing a suit, and was holding a violin.

the other was sitting by a piano, she had long blonde hair, a red dress, and was facing the piano rather than you.

this entire scene seemed like something out of a movie. while you remained in awe, a tall black headed man appeared before you and childe. also wearing a suit.

"right this way," pantalone gestured his hands towards a table. you nodded as childe pulled on your hand.

the two of you sat down at the said table. and soon, music reverberated throughout the entire room as the two began playing their instruments, with columbina singing a beautiful tune.

"what the hell is all of this..." you mumbled quietly. childe grinned. "do you like it?"

"it certainly is something. is this how rich dates are like... and where's all of the other customers?"

the ginger laughed at your puzzlement, with you still looking around as if you were in a restaurant for the first time.

as he continued his hearty laughter, dottore walked up to your table. "psst childe. now's the time," he whispered to childe, even though you could clearly hear them.

"time for what?"

childe cleared his throat as he got up from his seat. he then walked up to the stage where the three had been playing and told them to shut up.

scaramouche twitched an eye while the other two rolled their eyes.

he then took out some pieces of paper and pretended to be nervous reading it out loud. like a middle schooler giving a presentation in front of the class.

you stared at him with a blank expression, not certain of where this was going.

"ahem. dear y/n. i hope this date has been a pleasurable experience for you. it certainly has for me." he shot you a wink in between before continuing.

dottore definitely helped him write that.

"my love for you is like the ocean. vast and blue."

that makes no sense.

"thank you for tolerating me. i love you."

ok that's kind of sweet.

"i would now like to ask you to be my partner. my beloved. my pookie. my boo. my wifey. my girlie. my skrunkly. my sugar plum. my sweet pea. my gum drop. my precious. my—"

oh my archons make it stop.

"how long is this?" you asked with a terrified expression.

"uhh let me see," childe flipped through the pieces of paper like his life depended on it. "it's about two pages long."

you now stood up from your seat as well. "holy shit i accept. now for fucks sake stop with the traumatizing nicknames," you said with the most serious face you could muster.

the others quietly laughed from behind, while childe let out an exaggerated sigh. "i wanted to finish it but fine, if you say so. it took awhile to make y'know."

"you asked the question. can we go now?" scaramouche spoke with a raised voice, to which childe shrugged his shoulders at. "sure, whatever."

the others chattered amongst themselves as they headed out the entrance. you stood in one place, still processing everything.

childe eventually walked up to you. "do you want something to eat or."

"nah i'm good for now."

he gave you a quick nod before thinking elsewhere. after allowing a few seconds to pass, he looked back to you.

"you do look good though," he complimented. but he didn't wink this time. he only flashed you a sincere smile, which he rarely ever did.

and you always appreciated it whenever he didn't pretend to be overly confident. right now, he seemed more like the real childe.

you smiled back at him. "thank you, ajax."

childe's eyes widened. "you called me by my real name again."

"you always get so surprised," you laughed, expecting him to get flustered again.

but he didn't get flustered this time. instead, he leaned his face towards you. "huh?"

"can i kiss you?" he suddenly asked, which caught you off guard. now your eyes were the ones widening. after giving it a brief thought, you nodded.

childe grinned as he leaned in towards you. you could feel his grin as he pressed his lips against yours. his lips were surprisingly soft.

time had seemed to have stopped moving as the two of you were locked in this position. your heart was racing as well as his, you were both excited.

he eventually parted to gasp for air, before he leaned back in. you slowly wrapped your arms around his waist as he wrapped one arm around yours, while his free hand held the back of your head.

the kiss continued until eventually, it got too difficult to breathe so you pulled back, raising your hand as a gesture to stop.

childe only nodded, as he was far too flustered to form any words.

you both remained silent for some time, before childe decided to speak. "you're a good kisser."

it went silent again as you awkwardly stared at him, until you both burst into fits of laughter.

"you're so dumb," you sighed, while jokingly smacking his head. childe acted as if he had just gotten shot. "that hurt! you'll have to kiss me again to heal it," he leaned towards you again.

you rolled your eyes while pushing him away. "oh shut up. let's get something to eat now."

"i know what you can get to eat," he gave you smug look, but you refused to let him continue.

"don't you dare finish that."

after giving you a pout, childe went to go order some food for the two of you.

while you waited at the table, wearing a smile that you'd call stupid.
