Lou knew the perfect movie to see; 'The Notebook', a perfect combination of sad, happy, and perfectly romantic. They went to the movie theatre in, located in the middle of The Institute of Perfection. Normally instruction type movies only played there, 'How to Comb Your Hair', or 'The Perfect Outfit For Rainy Days' and such. But Lou had instructed his robot workers to put on a special film for him and Nolan.
They wandered into the theatre, grabbing some popcorn beforehand. Walking towards Station B, where the movie was playing, Lou spotted a bathroom and remembered he didn't have a chance to fix himself up. ''Excuse me Nolan, I'm going to run to the bathroom for a moment, you head on to Station B and find some seats'', Lou explained.
Nolan nodded, "For sure. Take all the time you need'', he said as he kissed Lou's cheek before waving as he walked to the Station.
Lou blushed and touched his cheek. He ran into the bathroom and shut the door behind him. One of the robots was in the bathroom. ''Sir? Do you like this doll?'' the robot asked.
Lou stuttered, "Wel-l I act-t-ually''
''Do you have affection for him?'' the robot asked again.
''Of course'' Lou said as he faced the mirror and pulled out a comb from his pocket.
''This is only the first date, give us some space. It's not like we're going to get married or anything.''
''And why not?''
Suddenly Lou thought. He pictured himself in a sharp tux and Nolan in a white gown that trails onto the floor, holding red roses in his hands. He looked gorgeous. Lou sighed.
The robot asked again, "Shall I prepare the ceremony?''
Lou blinked and shook his head, "What? No, no.'' He paused, "Not now at least.''
"Affirmative. I will instruct the other robots to make the date go smoothly as can be.'' the robot said as he left the bathroom.
Lou continued fixing his hair and straightening his jacket. Marriage. What a thought.
He left the bathroom and made his way to Station B. Nolan had found seats for him and Lou and was starting to eat the popcorn while watching the previews. Lou made his way down the stairs to the middle the seats where Nolan sat, ''Is this seat taken?'' he asked pointing to the chair beside Nolan.
Nolan smiled and patted the chair, ''Come on, the movies about to start.''
Lou sat and made himself comfortable. He noticed Nolan pulling out a box of tissues. ''Why do you have that?'' he asked.
''I'm an emotional wreck. I always have a box of tissues with me, just incase.'' he explained, sitting the box down between both of them.
Lou smirked, ''I'm a bit of a cryer myself. I just didn't show it in the past.''
Nolan chuckled, ''Help yourself to them. I hear this film brings out the waterworks.''
As the room darkened, Nolan locked his fingers with Lou's.
The movie started.
