No Homo

Chapter 8

John's POV

I started getting ready for my date with Vriska at about 6:00 pm. The date wasn't until 7, but I wanted to make sure I looked really good. So good that I couldn't figure out what to wear. Everything I tried on just didn't look good enough. The first thing I put on was my only tux, but it looked like I was about to go to a funeral, not a date. I then just tried button-down shirts, but they either didn't look formal enough or they just didn't look good for a date. Well, not for a date with Vriska. I called Dave up. A guy like him has been through this plenty of times, I'm positive. He'd have advice, right ?

"Sup," he answered.

"Dave I really need your help."

"With what ?"

"I don't know what to wear for my date with Vriska !"

"Um okay."

"Please help me Dave." I looked at the clock. It was already 6:30 and I wasn't even dressed yet. "I have to pick her up at 7!"

"Okay bro, chill. What do you have ?"

"Well I found a nice pair of pants but I can't find a good shirt to wear. The tux I have looks to funeral-ish but the button-down shirts look too not-formal or just not good enough for her !"

"Okay, wow, you're really over-thinking this. Dude, just calm down and don't think so much about it."

"But she actually agreed to go on a date with me and I have to look good enough so she won't think I'm some weird freak."

"Seriously dude, chill. Describe the shirts."

"Okay there's a forest-y green one, an orange one, a red one, a light green one, a dark blue one, and a light-ish blue one."

"Go with the lighter blue. It'll probably look good with color of your eyes."

"Oh crap ! What if she notices my weird eye color ?"

"Weird eye color ?"

"Yeah they're, like, the most freakish eye color anyone could have !"

"Rose has purple-ish eyes."

"Yeah but mine are, like, neon blue ! Who the flip has neon blue eyes ?"

"Your eyes are fine. They're actually pretty cool. Now all you have to do is put on the shirt and go pick Vriska up." It made me feel really good when he told me that my eyes are cool. I guess it's pretty easy to tell I don't get complemented very often, especially not on my eye color.

"Okay, okay. See you later, Dave. I'll tell you how it went when I get home."

"You do that."

"Byee Daave."

"Later, Egderp."

I put my phone in my pocket and put on the lighter blue shirt and looked in the mirror. It still didn't seem like it was good enough for a date with Vriska, but I'll take Dave's advice. And I definitely see what he meant about it going with my eyes. I put on my jacket and got in my car to drive to Vriska's house.

When I got to her house, I knocked on the door and waited for her. She opened the door and I noticed she was wearing a really pretty black dress with a dark blue belt around the waist.

"You look really nice, Vriska."

"You do too." She smiled and followed me to my car. I opened the door for her and she got in. I closed the door and went to my side. I got in and started driving out of her neighborhood.

"Where are we going to go, John ?"

"I'm going to take us to a restaurant."

"Ooh which one ?"
