Raven P.O.V.

When he brought me to the hallway I was confused like I honestly was feeling Mad Hatter vibes. Then Clayton pulled open the door, which, by the way, was also giving me Alice in Wonderland vibes. It was trippy vibe kind of day. But what was behind the door, made the Alice in Wonderland vibes hit me tenfold.

It was lovely, the flowers were glowing the moon hitting their petals just right. There were strings of light cascading down surrounding the whole garden. I wandered through mindlessly my fingers brushing the leaves and iron. What caught my eye the most was this iron structure with vines tangling around it producing this gazebo like area. A single iron wrought table stood inside this, it was covered with this coppery gold tablecloth. On the table were candles and pristine white plates, it was simple.

"This is so cool" I whisper. "Who made this?" I ask, turning to Clayton. He didn't answer immediately, his green eyes staring at me but not really there. I was inches away from him when his gaze actually came back to me.

"Clay" I say snapping my fingers. His gaze focuses on me and his smile slowly creeps up.

"Blaze did it, the mansions his place now" he responds.

"Oh, cool I'll have to thank him" I remark my eyes wandering around my surroundings again.

"He'll probably pop up or do something terribly embarrassing me, either way you'll see him" he adds.

"He's like an older brother to you, right?" I ask.

"Yeah...Blaze is always there for me, Daren too" he explains.

"Good" I say with a smile, "Come on let's eat." I grab his hand and walk us towards the center of the gazebo. We take our seats and I look over the table once again. My left leg bounces lightly and I fidget nervous.

"Rave, you're making me nervous" Clayton fretted. I laugh.

"Is my nervousness radiating off of me and bouncing off you?" I joke. He cracks a smile.

"More like hitting me upside the head" he jests. A grin spreads on my face at that.

"Sorry, I'm out of my element" I mumble. He looks at me surprised.

"I've never been on like a date date" I try to explain.

"A date date" he mimics.

"A date date" I repeat. His grin grows even more.

"Well, I hope that you'll get more comfortable because there will be a lot more date dates in our future" he asserted.

"Oh will there" I say, with a raise of an eyebrow.

"Most definitely" he whispers, and grabs a hold of my hand, dragging his thumb across the back of it.

"Oi!" a voice yells. Clayton jumps in his seat, and I squeeze his hand in shock.

"Jesus--BLAZE!" Clayton bellows running his other hand through his hair. My heart was hammering in my chest. He turned his head towards the source of the voice. I watched as his face went from annoyed to perfectly at ease. It was like watching clockwork, as his cheeks lifted and his teeth started to show.
