Blood Moon (manxman)

First Date (pt.1)

Lazarus walked up to Montégo's door and knocked lightly, quietly clearing his throat as he adjusted his purple and black paisley tie, tucking it into his purple satin vest with floral designs in black. He turned around as he waited and ran his hand through his slicked-back hair, letting out a deep sigh before adjusting the collar of his black dress shirt and buttoning his long, black, double-breasted blazer.
When Montégo answered the door, Lazarus quickly turned around and his face lit up at the sight of him, "Hey, you ready?" He asked before his face soon dropped. He didn't tell Montégo there was a semi-formal dress code at the restaurant he was taking him to.

"Yeah! Uh...am I dressed alright? I didn't know this was such a fancy occasion..." Montégo frowned slightly, looking down at his solid purple T-shirt and black dress pants, "I kinda expected casual."

Lazarus shook his head and unbuttoned his blazer, "It's only semi-formal. You can just wear my blazer over your outfit. It should fit you fine." He slipped out of the coat and handed it to Montégo.

"Oh, thank you! I honestly haven't finished unpacking my whole wardrobe yet..." Montégo blushed as he put on Lazarus's coat, patting it down. It was a little loose around his shoulders and the slightest bit tight around his belly, plus a bit long, but he was still comfortable, and really warm.
Now that his coat was off, the tight-fitting dress shirt was mostly revealed and just about every detail of Lazarus's muscular arms and lower shoulders was visible, making Montégo force himself to advert his eyes before he was fully ogling Laz.

Lazarus smiled and held Montégo's hand, holding it up and leaning down to plant a soft kiss on it and then pulling away and letting out a soft chuckle, "I've got my car at the end of my driveway, wanna go together?"

"Of course, it's the, uh...most convenient option." He smiled, appreciating the fact that Lazarus went out of his way to make sure it was okay.

They then walked hand-in-hand off the patio and through Montégo's front yard to Lazarus's driveway, where Laz pulled out his keys and pressed a button that unlocked the dark red convertible with a beep. Laz entered the driver's seat and sat with a soft huff, and Montégo sat in the front passenger seat.

Lazarus quickly turned the radio to a low volume and glanced nervously at Montégo, clearing his throat once more, "You want the roof up or down?" 

"Uh...I think maybe up for now, so my hair won't get ruined before we get there, ya know?"

Lazarus nodded and left the roof up before buckling up and soon pulling out of the driveway. 
A few minutes into the drive, Montégo took a deep breath while watching Lazarus, scanning over every detail of his face. He let out his breath before speaking:
"So...uh, what's the plan?"

"Oh!" Lazarus started, smiling, "Did you know a lot of monsters refuse to dine around humans because they get uncomfortable, or hungry, or can hear their heartbeats way too clearly? Well, my friend did. So he opened a super fancy restaurant with an underground area in which monsters who know the password of that night can go and be themselves with a strict zero fighting and zero humans policy! Neat, huh?"

"Ah...that is neat. So we won't be harassed for being a vampire and werewolf on a date? My mother always said she'd disown me if I were banging a vamp, so that'd be a nice change of pace," Montégo laughed, his head leaning back a little.

"Yeah...uh, are you close to your family?" Laz asked, glancing at Montégo curiously

"Uh, well..I'm really close to my siblings but not all that close to my parents. How about you?"

"Hm. Well, my parents died a really long time ago so I'm not sure, to be honest. I think we were close. And I had a lot of half-siblings, but they were already out on their own by the time I was born. I don't think they would've wanted to know me anyway." He explained before shrugging.
