"Mittttttttccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
I screamed, running to the big oaktree. It seemed like five o clock was never going to come, but it eventually did, so yeah.
"Hi Scott." Mitch said, smiling. He shined in the bright sunset and my face went hot.
"You look great." I blurted out. Then I realized what I said and quickly put my hands over my mouth. Mitch laughed.
"Thanks. I just wore trash in my dust bin. I wonder how you'll react when I actually try to impress you."
I raised an eyebrow. "Try? Not want?"
Mitch didn't answer and I smiled.
"So you do want to impress me."
He rolled his eyes and sighed, trying to fan his red face away. "WhatEVER. Anyway, where are we going?" He called at me as I pulled him somewhere.
"You'll see."
"Hhheeeeeyyyyyy Scottababy."
"Whatttup"
"Hi Sire."
Avi, Kevin and a honey brown haired young man walked over. I nodded at them, a little annoyed. "Hey guys."
"Where you goin'? You wanna hang? Club?"
I shook my head. Couldn't they see that I was doing something important with someone important?
"No, I'm on a date, thanks."
Avi nodded. "Oh yeah I know. Kevin told me. Oh and by the way, thanks for sending me and him home last night. Kevin told me how you got us all a cab."
"Yeah yeah I'm a god. Sorry but I have to go."
Kevin raised an eyebrow but Avi smiled. "Yeah bro. Go get the lucky guy."
Mitch blushed from behind my back and I laughed. "Thanks man. I'll be off now."
"W...wait, sire.....!"
I blinked at the young man shaking infront of me. He handed me a Dr. Pepper. "Sire...I....I want you to take this."
I smiled. "Awwww. A fan. So nice." I took the bottle and gave him my polite eye-smile.
"Thanks."

Mitch laughed as we walked into the street. "That little boy has a crush on you." He said, raising an eyebrow at me. "Ayyyyyy."
"A; that 'little boy' is bigger than you.
B; how do you know that?"
Mitch shrugged. "I dunno. My old friend told me how to figure it out. You have to look for the tension in one's eyes."
My head suddenly buzzed and stung like the words were something I should remember. The demented woman in my dreams flashed through my brain.
The tension in one's eyes...
I wobbled and ran into a wall. Mitch rushed over. "Are you okay??"
I nodded, dazed.
What just happened...?
It seemed so real.
Like it really happened.
Like...
Like a memory.
A real life memory.
"So where ARE you taking me?" Mitch moaned. I blinked, snapping out of my daze. "Oh. Uhh. We're here. Come."
Mitch frowned as I pulled him into a building. "Is this gonna be weird, like murderers and stuff?"
I laughed. "No no no. C'mon."
"Let me warn you, I don't like a lot of people."
"No there ain't gonna be a lot of people! Just come." I held my hand out. "Do you trust me?"
Mitch rolled his eyes but nodded. "Yeah fine." He didn't hold my hand but followed me in.
It was when we opened the door Mitch found out.
"A blind cafe?!" He cried out. I smiled.
"Surprise."
".....This is unreal. I always wanted to come."
"You know how we do?" A waitress asked. I nodded and Mith did as well. She smiled.
"Okay. Let's go then."
She pulled us through the pitch darkness. A pair of hands hung onto me and I hung onto the waitress. "So......If you need a drink just push the button. It's on the left side of your table."
I nodded, trying to make out our tables. The dark was getting to me.
"Mitch?"
"Yeah?"
"Did you sit down?"
"Yeah."
"So......you get why I brought you here?"
"No not really. But I really like it."
"...It's dark."
"Yes."
"And it's like we're blind."
"It's the Blind cafe."
"Do you know why this cafe was made?"
"No..?"
"The guy who first made this place was blind."
"...Oh."
"Mitch I'm a blind guy. I'm in the dark, I don't know where I am. I don't know where to go, who to trust. But I know something."
"Yeah?"
"...I wanna be with you."
There was no answer, so I went on.
"Not as a boyfriend thing. I know it's to soon. But I really really wanna be with you. Even just as friends. I realized that when you ran out on me that day. Please. Can you promise me that?"
"....Of course."
I blinked, trying to see the little guys face in the pitch darkness. "Really?"
"Even th....Even when we can't be with each other..I'll always be with you. In your head. In your mind. With you."
I stretched my hand, trying to feel the guy's face.
But my hand didn't have anything to feel.
