A Hero and a Villain

Scene 21: Check Meowt

[Andeddo]

Andeddo was just finishing with his shower when his cell phone rang. He stepped out, quickly dried himself off with a towel, and answered it, getting dressed as he went.

"Hey Heishi! Remember that date I was talking about a few days ago?" "Yeah, what about it?" "I was thinking we could do it today!" "Okay, what do you have in mind?" "Hah...I want it to be a secret."

"It's a cat cafe, isn't it?" There was a long pause.

"How'd you know?" "Shinso, you're far to easy to read. Besides, great minds think alike, right?" "Yeah, I guess so. It ruins the surprise, though." "Eh, who cares. I still wanna go! I love cats, and I've never been to one before." "You've never WHAT?! THAT'S IT YOU'RE GOING WITH ME! I WILL NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!" Andeddo chuckled, "I wasn't planning on it. I'll have my driver pick us up around seven." Shinso agreed and hung up, leaving Andeddo to get ready.

He walked into his closet (which is pretty big and neat, but I can't describe it for shit because it's one of those Barbie-level walk-in closets) looking around carefully. He spotted the perfect outfit almost instantly.

When he came out, he found himself dressed in a dark grey T-shirt, a spike-studded sleeveless black leather jacket, a pair of slightly ripped black jeans, and a set of black combat boots. He tied his hair in a ponytail a few inches above the nape of his neck and strapped on a black baseball cap with a dark green bill, tucking his ponytail through the gap on the back.

Definitely not the style he would've chosen for a first date, but his gut was rarely wrong about these kinds of things.

He glanced down at his watch as he picked it up.

Oh shit, it's 7:30! I'm late!

Andeddo snapped it on and bolted down the stairs, heading down to his garage. The driver—who was currently taking a break in the lounge—nodded and they both jumped in the black limousine that was waiting at the entrance. He directed them to Hitoshi's apartment, and when they arrived, he was already waiting outside. Andeddo could tell he was frustrated before even stepping out of the car.

Hitoshi put his hands up, held together in a single finger gun, "My God, Heishi. If you ever keep me waiting that long again, I will not hesitate to shoot you with my finger gun." The driver looked at them with concern, but Andeddo just smiled, "Alright, alright. I promise I won't do it again." He wiggled his eyebrows, striking a dramatic pose, "But seriously, check meowt."

Hitoshi blinked back in surprise, lowering his hands, and looked Andeddo up and down. "What in the world are you wearing?" Andeddo blushed, returning to his usual stance, "Look, this is the first time I've ever been on a real date, okay? The outfit just looked cool, and I like dark colors." Hitoshi held back a laugh, "Heishi, do you own any clothes that are completely emo?" Andeddo sighed, "If you must know, I have one. The white suit that Yosuke bought me to be his best man whenever he actually has his fucking wedding. Now, if you please, could we get going before it gets dark?"

"I suppose." Hitoshi looked over his shoulder at the limo, "That's a nice ride you got there. You always travel around in that thing?" Andeddo narrowed his eyes, opening the side door, "Not unless I want to attract unnecessary attention to myself." Hitoshi smirked, "Good point. I guess it's just something special for me then." Andeddo blushed even redder, "Oh hush."

They both stepped into the limo, seating themselves across from each other. Hitoshi gave the driver the address of the cafe, and they were on their way. During the ride, Hitoshi took his time taking in the scenery.
