Not Is, At All, What It Seems ( A Homestuck Fanfiction)

A Heavy Heart On A Boulevard Tonight

[First off thank you for all of the comments recently~

I have been on vacation for the last week and just got back home two days ago, only to play a few games with a friends before FINALLY reading the comments you guys have left. It was this morning that I read a comment that was cute and made me actually decide to write.

Now for the actual update--]

Dirk smirked and looped his arm through mine, escorting me towards the movie theater. "Well since we both clearly paid, why don't we go already?" He mentioned as he dragged me towards the double door entrance. It's not like I was dragging my heels, kicking and screaming the whole way there. I wanted to go but for some reason I wasn't exactly cooperating.

"Hey Rae, is something wrong?" He mused, stopping when his hand rested on the door handle. "What? No," I smiled a nervous smile. Oh yeah. I remember the problem. I had never exactly been in a relationship with anyone before.

I had been on two dates ever in my life. Once was in seventh grade with a guy that was really nice and stuff, but he left the week after and the second time was in ninth grade when I got dared to go on a date with my best friend. We both agreed it was best if we stayed friends and that was the end of that.

I never once had kissed anyone or been kissed, and the only thing that came close was the Kyle thing, but I was trying to avoid speaking of that.  And I wasn't exactly sure what to do, I mean like, what if it ended up being all wrong and Dirk decided he didn't want to be around me because of me messing up on a date? Or like, what if I spilled coke all over him in the middle of the movie-oh god I don't think I could live that down. RIP Rae Johnson, May She Always Be Remembered For Her Ungodly Amount of Clumsiness.

I grabbed the door handle and opened it quickly, walking in front of him, watching my feet glide across the black and blue tiles to make sure I wouldn't trip. Maybe I could leave in the middle of the movie, like say that I have to pee and just leave-wait no, because then that would make for awkward conversation on Monday.

I sighed and accepted my defeat, my shoulders slumping a little as I walked forward, handing my tickets to the lady to tear it to let me through. She tore through it, saying something, but I was too nervous to decipher what she was saying.

I grabbed the ticket and Dirk laced his fingers through mine, smiling down at me. I blushed from embarrassment and the fact that when he did that, my stomach felt like there were millions of butterflies fluttering in there. My hand was all sweaty and I think Dirk knew that, but he didn't care. He chuckled and smirked, "Nervous are we?"

"W-What? Me? Never" I laughed nervously as we went up to go get popcorn. Oh my God, why did he even want to go on a date with me? I'm so awkward now it's not even funny. I'm already clumsy, but compared to him, it was like ten times worse. "What drink do you want?" He asked me, squeezing my hand. "Coke please," I smiled at him. He chuckled and nodded, stepping up to the counter, "A large popcorn and two cokes,"

He pulled out his wallet, releasing my hand to pull out a $10, placing it on the counter before he grabbed the drinks. I quickly wiped my palms and grabbed the popcorn, trying not to shake in nervousness. 

He guided me to the theater as I tried to regain my cool slowly. "So remind me how Dave got a hold of you?" He turned to look at me through his shades, curious. I blinked and tried to look through his shades to see his eyes. Maybe one of these days I would know his eye color. "Oh, well, I had just woken up and saw I had a call so I immediately accepted it, and it turned out to be him. He said everyone was going to be here so I said I'd come."

He shook his head, "That explains why I thought I heard Dave talking to you earlier. That little brat," He snickered. "He's dead now," He said in a serious tone, all emotions gone from his face. "Wait what?" I frowned, confused.

"I'm not actually serious. Relax," he rolled his eyes, opening the door. He held it open for me as I walked in, staring at the group of people. Wow. Apparently this was a whole lot busier than I thought it was. He brushed by me and jogged up, sitting in the very top corner. I followed right behind him, keeping my eyes focused on him, hoping not to trip.

Wow how am I going to make it through the movie? Dirk sat down, placing the drinks on the ground, moving the cup holder up and out of the way. Oh damn, he's smooth. He grabbed the popcorn from me while I sat down and then pulled me close by the waist. I blushed and smiled, leaning against his chest. Despite everything, it just felt right.

The commercials finally ended and the movie began thankfully, shutting everyone up. Through the entire movie we didn't move. I don't think either one of us wanted to. And the drinks and popcorn was never actually touched anyway.

When the movie ended, I got up and stretched, my shirt revealing more skin then I wanted anyone to see yet. I blushed and yanked it back down, turning around to see a smirking Dirk. He stood up quickly and grabbed my hand, rushing towards the exit to beat the traffic. "Dirk!" I groaned, rushing with him. "Don't run, I just got up!" I scolded him, but still ran with him.

He walked me to my house in silence, which was to be expected. I mean I was still thinking about the movie, and well, also the fact that his body was so warm in the movies, but I wasn't going to admit it. He dropped me off in front of my door, kissing my hand. "Well, considering the date wasn't supposed to happen, I would like a refund on that," He winked. "Are you asking me to go on another date with you?" I said, my eyes widened slightly in surprise. "Maybe," He smirked, pulling me closer.

I allowed him, staring up at his shades, trying not to let my gaze drift to his lips. "How about next Saturday?" I said softly. "It's a date," He leaned in before suddenly his phone went off. He pulled back and grabbed his phone, reading  a message. "Hey I gotta go, talk to you later Rae," He smirked and left in the blink of an eye.

He left me standing shocked on my doorstep, eyes wide. I ran to my room, closing the door quickly, grabbing my laptop. Wait...was he about to kiss me?...
