Ch.33

"What do you say when you first see her?"

Vasco carefully thought about his answer for a few seconds.

"I love you."

Jace face palmed and groaned, 'It would take a miracle for this date to go well.'

"No, Vasco. You say hello."

Vasco gave a teary sigh and visibly sighed, 'Can I really do this?'

"It's okay! That was a hard one. I'll give you a yes or no question. What do you do if you come across a door?" Jace said quickly, not even giving Vasco a chance to cry. 'The last thing we need right now is a meltdown.'

Vasco only pressed his mouth into a thin line and stared at Jace.

"I don't remember this one..."

Jace squeezed his eyes shut, 'Breathe in, breathe out... breathe in, breathe out...'

Before he could correct his friend, Vasco got a text.

(Y/N)🍓
You're late.

Vasco paled and check the time, 8:32. He gasped and ran out from under the canopy he and Jace were standing under.

"I'm late!"

"Wait! Vasco! Your-" Jace calling out for him was no use, for Vasco was already out of his line of sight. "Hair..."

He sighed again, 'His hair is going to be ruined in the rain. I worked so hard.'

Vasco was panting by the time he found (Y/N). She was frowning and looking around from underneath her umbrella. Before he could reach her in the crowd, she had disappeared.

'I hope she didn't leave, Maybe she thought I wasn't coming?' He spun around, searching the crowd for (Y/N), until he couldn't feel the rain hitting him anymore.

Vasco paused, 'Did it stop raining, just over me...?' He looked up to check the sky, and saw clear plastic with little frogs decorating it.

"Vasco."

He turned around to see (Y/N) holding her umbrella over his head, her hood pulled over her head to protect herself from the rain she had exposed herself to.

"What're you wearing?"

Vasco looked down at what he was wearing. A white button down shirt tucked into dress pants.

"Clothes...?" He tilted his head to the side, not understanding what he had done wrong. 'Jace said this is fine.'

"You wore a suit to a five dollar date." (Y/N) said plainly. He looked at what she was wearing, a dark green hoodie with ripped jeans.
"And you wore white on a rainy day."

You could easily see Vasco's tattoos through his shirt, along with everything else that you wear a shirt to cover.

"Should I go change?"

"No, let's just go in. You'll dry off eventually."

She huddled closer so they could both fit under the umbrella and they both tried their best to shuffle into the arcade. Once they made it to the door Vasco made sure to open the door for (Y/N).

'Jace said to be gentlemanly!'

(Y/N) walked through the door, closing her umbrella once she was inside.

"Thanks. You wait here, I'll be right back."

Vasco watched (Y/N) walk over to a small stand to exchange money for tokens and Vasco stood by the entrance, taking it all in.
