The Relationship That Kills [Wraith X Mirage Apex Legends Fanfic]

[2] The Coffee and All That

Mirage frantically held his phone writing texts, deleting them and repeat. He has never felt so nervous about a girl, I mean he is VERY confident. But while he waited he also decided to panic over which outfit to where, as he had a wardrobe a tremendously colossal wardrobe of outfits he could wear, but Mirage being the overkill that he is he decided to wear suit. A coffee date and he wears a suit. But with some common sense, something I'm starting to believe he has very little of, he decided a more casual outfit was necessary. But after the dismay of all his stampeding around for clothes his phone beeped he looked down to a text from Wraith. "Westwood coffee shop. 1.30pm please don't be late!" it read. Mirage said moping around for a while, prettying up and all that jazz until it was 1.20pm and he was just barely out the door. He's never ran so fast ever in his dear life, when he arrived he looked at his watch 1.32pm "Oh. Dang" he murmured.

He walked into the coffee shop to see Wraith nervously twiddling her thumbs at a two seat table by the window. He walked over slowly, his mind racing thinking about what he was going to say. As he kept walking as slow as turtle that's had no sleep, Wraith noticed him and jumped up. "H-hey.." Mirage frantically chirped. "You're late." Wraith barked, "By two minutes!". "Three minutes now." Wraith responded. They both sat down, they sat in silence for a minute or two, "So. How's your hip?" Mirage questioned to break the tension. "It's fine, because of you of course." Wraith replied. They both just smiled at each other, staring into one an others deep eyes. Until Wraith realised what she was doing and went hot red. To try and bring down the more pending awkwardness Mirage asked "Do you want anything?" "Er. Just anything, surprise me maybe?" Wraith responded still with her head down. 

As Mirage stood up their shivering in his boots over what a 'Wraithy' type of coffee is, Wraith began to question what these feelings she was getting really was and why, like Mirage, she spent so much time getting ready. She usually never cares about her appearance but the burning question inside her, was why did she say "I'd love to." to Mirage after the match. She never felt that way, well at least she didn't think so. But something just attracted her to him, was it his charm? Or his looks? She didn't really know any of the answers to questions for once and she kind of liked the change. Mirage returned handing her a latte and himself holding an americano. Wraith quickly gave him the latte and took his drink. "What? Do you not like latte's?" Mirage panicking questioned. "I thought you wanted a surprise?" He asked again. "Yeah surprise me, not disappoint me." Wraith returned. They both sat for a few seconds then just started laughing, uncontrollably. "You laugh like a little girl." Wraith poked at him with. "Yeah? Well at least I don't sound like a fake fortune teller." Mirage countered, this just caused more laughter even some laughing tears.

After their little joke around they just drank their drinks, teased each other and made tiny jokes. After finishing their drinks Wraith said "This was fun Mirage. I guess I'll stay in touch." Mirage quickly responded "No. Come on lets go out. Into the city!" "But Mirage-" "Just come on Wraith, pretty please wit a cherry on top." Mirage asked. Wraith sighed but smiling she said "Where are we going first then?". They explored the city Mirage being as much of a joker as he usually is, they got ice-cream try free food testers, of course Mirage ate about twenty and rational Wraith took one. But the whole way there were laughs, cheers and flirting, but most the flirting being Mirage's of course. Their last stop being the arcade.

As they approached Mirage had to beg Wraith to come in as she is very strict and uptight. To loosen her up a bit Mirage was able to persuade her. As they entered "How did you talk me into this?" Wraith asked grunting. "I didn't do anything, you talked yourself into it." Mirage answered. Wraith jokingly punched him on the shoulder blushing a bit. Mirage noticed her blushing and took advantage of it, "Oh I never saw that red makeup on your cheeks earlier. Or are you blushing over little ol' me?" "Shut up" Wraith murmured "What was that?" Mirage asked giggling. Wraiths blushing increasing she said "Let's just play these games you little girl." They play the machines for an hour, Wraith soon came to like the 'stupid games' that she called them before the entered. You'd think Wraith left with a HUGE teddy bear, wouldn't you? Nah too clique, in fact she came out with tons of candy. Why? Because she'd rather have something that was of more importance than a 'sack of fluff'. So considering he made Wraith come in he let it slide and let her decide what she wanted with the tickets they won.

As they left Mirage had a mouth full of airheads because Wraith keep shoving them into him, every time he laughed spitting them out again. After finishing up they both knew that it was late and their first 'date' was coming to a close. "Ok now seriously Mirage, I really should be going." Wraith said firmly. "Well I'll walk you home then." Mirage responded trying to be a gentleman. "Well I know there's no point in arguing, you'll just walk me home if I say no anyway." Wraith chuckled. Mirage walked her home, they started off just walking and talking and progressively upgraded to holding hands. When they reached Wraith's apartment they both realised, they really did have feelings for one an other. "Welp. Goodnight..." Mirage awkwardly said. He leant in for a kiss but was rejected and got to just touch foreheads for a minute or two and was met with "That's too fast Mirage maybe save that for our second date, yeah?" Wraith replied trying to destroy his heart into a million pieces. But it did the opposite, he was filled with glee as she said second date. They sat touching foreheads for a while until Mirage kissed her on the forehead and ended the date with "Text me." "I will don't worry."
