58- Ice Cream Date with Tyler

Prompt:

The school day was finally over, and it was time for your much-anticipated first date with Tyler. As you walked out of the school building, you spotted Tyler waiting for you by the large oak tree on the quad, his bright smile shining like the sun.

"Hey there!" Tyler greeted you as you approached him, his voice filled with a mix of nervousness and enthusiasm. "Ready for our ice cream date?"

You nodded, eagerly matching his enthusiasm. "Absolutely, Tyler! I've been looking forward to it all week."

You and Tyler began your short walk to the ice cream shop, chatting about your school day and upcoming events. Tyler seemed a bit shy at first, his words stumbling and his cheeks turning a faint shade of pink. But you, being the friendly and understanding person you are, did everything you could to make him feel comfortable.

As you entered the ice cream shop, the sweet aroma of freshly made waffle cones filled the air. The colorful array of ice cream flavors lined the counter, making it difficult to choose just one. You and Tyler stood side by side, contemplating your choices.

"I think I'll take the safe route and go with the cookies and cream," Tyler finally said after some thought. "What about you?"

You smiled warmly at him. "Mint chocolate chip has always been my favorite."

After ordering and receiving your delicious treats, you and Tyler found a cozy corner booth to sit in. As you settled into your seats, Tyler's nervousness seemed to melt away, replaced by a genuine sense of joy and happiness.

"I'm really glad you agreed to go out with me," Tyler admitted, his voice filled with sincerity as he tapped his fingers on the table. "You're amazing, a-and I've had a crush on you for a while now."

Your heart skipped a beat, and a blush crept onto your cheeks. You placed your hand on Tyler's trembling hands, smiling at him. "Tyler, that's so sweet. I really like you, too."

With newfound confidence, Tyler's brown eyes sparkled like never before as he leaned in closer. "You know, I've always been a bit clumsy, but I promise to be the best date I can be."

You chuckled softly, finding his honesty endearing. "I wouldn't want it any other way, Tyler. Your quirks make you even more special."

As you both indulged in your ice cream, laughter filled the air. Tyler's animated storytelling and contagious enthusiasm made every moment feel like a delightful adventure. But as fate would have it, Tyler's klutziness made an appearance.

He reached across the table to grab a napkin, accidentally knocking his scoop of ice cream onto your lap. You gasped in surprise, but instead of getting upset, you burst into laughter.

"It's okay, Tyler," you reassured him, wiping away the melted ice cream while he panicked at the mess he made. "Accidents happen, and I don't mind a little mess."

"Are you sure, Y/N?" Tyler asked, seeming hesitant. "Could I get you a water or something? To help with the... uh... mess? Or maybe you would want my jacket?"

You smiled at Tyler, shaking your head as he reached for his varsity letterman jacket. "I'll be fine, Tyler. No need to worry."

Relief washed over Tyler's face, and he beamed at you gratefully. "Thank you for being so understanding. You're incredible."

The date continued with more laughter, shared stories, and stolen glances that made your heart flutter. As the evening drew to a close, Tyler's eyes widened with realization.

"Oh no, you've got a bit of ice cream on your face," he exclaimed, pointing to your cheek. "Let me get it for you."

With a gentle touch, Tyler delicately wiped away the ice cream from your face with a napkin, his fingers lingering for a moment longer than necessary. His touch sent a shiver down your spine, and you couldn't help but smile at the sweet gesture.

Once you finished up your ice cream, you headed back to the school parking lot, hand in hand.

As you said your goodbyes, Tyler held your hand and looked deep into your warm eyes. "I had an amazing time with you today, and I can't wait to see you again. That is, if you're up for it."

You squeezed his hand gently, your heart overflowing with happiness. "I had an incredible time too, Tyler. Let's definitely do this again soon."

Before heading to his car, Tyler leaned in, planting a sweet kiss on your cheek. "You're the best, Y/N."

Questions to keep in mind as you envision yourself interacting with Tyler:

What made you most intrigued about this date with Tyler? Or with Tyler in general? What clothes did you decide to wear for this date? What made you not want to take Tyler's jacket? Do you ever get upset about his clumsiness? Or do you adore it? For your next date, where are you hoping to go? When Tyler leaned in, did you think he was going to kiss your lips? Were you upset when he kissed your cheek instead? Or were you glad that he wasn't moving too fast?
