It's a date~

Who: Brock and Erika
What: The most socially awkward bee is taking the flower princess on a date. It is an awkwardly good time.
When: The evening of September 15th.
Where: A restaurant! Downtown! ~Whoa~
Rated: `````````````````` (That was what my cat rated it, but I would rate it G for gay.)

Erika was not entirely sure what to do with herself. Was she nervous? Of course. Not enough to make posts about to the network (which she didn't know about), but it had been a while since she had been on a real date. At least one without any misunderstandings or false assumptions. This time it was with someone that she truly liked and they liked her back and….

…And she got a little red in the face every time she thought about it. Now that they weren't actually baiting their time until death closed in on them, she could afford to feel a bit embarrassed. Just a little. She mostly felt dim for having not said anything sooner, but they had fixed that rather effectively.

It did not take her very long to get ready. The hardest part had been determining whether or not to change into something less… over done. In the end she decided against it. It was what was most normal for the both of them after all. So instead there was a little makeup, some time on her hair…

Mostly a lot of distracted waiting for eight o'clock.

"Oh."

On one hand, it was probably good she hadn't been pining away forever and ever, but two years was a long time. He understood the feeling of waiting and wondering...not acting because you thought you weren't good enough. Brock wasn't sure if that's what Erika had felt, but that was probably the best way he could understand it. It was probably a similar feeling.

"I'm...sorry." He cast his eyes downward and tried to sip his tea. It was still too hot, and he sputtered when it burned his tongue. Smooth.
