I get ready for the day by placing some green jewel earrings in my ears, pulling my hair up before wrapping a green scarf around my neck. I then slip on Travis' old Letterman jacket, I have to thank Mr. Valkrum for all these items later. I take a deep breath before shooting Travis a text that I was ready and had a place for a date picked out for me and him.
Travis sends a very quick text about him coming over soon. I shake my head at him and put my phone in my pocket before heading down the stairs. I was glad Katelyn and Kawaii-Chan weren't around, I didn't want to get questioned or shipped. I shutter at the last idea and sit down on the couch.
With a couple of boring minutes, there was an eager knock at the door. I get up and open it. There was Travis with a handful of cymbidium orchids in his hands. His white hair looked a bit messy but not tangled, he wore a jean jacket with a white t-shirt and some jeans with a brown belt. "Woah..." Travis trails off, his eyes trained on me as it seemed his breath was taken away. I felt a blush creep onto my cheeks and I smile.
"You didn't have to bring me flowers, Travis..."
"I-I wanted to..." He trailed off.
I take the flowers from his hands gently. "Let me put these in a vase then we can go, okay?" he gives a small nod and I went to get a vase. He stands at the door and waits, as I quickly put the flowers in a vase full of water. I set it down on the table before walking back over him.
"When... When did you get my old jacket?"
"Oh, um... Your dad gave it to me." I answer and he looked at me confused but slowly nodded. I link arms with him and close the door. "Are you ready?"
"What are we doing exactly?" he offered a smile, looking down at me.
"I was thinking we could go do some bowling...?"
"Oh!" His eyes shine, the green lighting up from the sunlight and his excitement. I get lost in the green for a second. Reminding me of the Virgo birth stone and mint green. Green tended to be a cold color, but his eyes held a warmness to them. They were bright, even more so in the sun. His eyes seemed to always be looking for answers of the universe, wanting to see and know everything he could. His body and his words spoke only certain things but his eyes held no secrets. His eyes could not hide any of his emotions. Right now, when he looked back down into my eyes, I saw the raw tender look in them. It made his eyes seem lighter, such a tender looking green.
His mouth opened to say something and I had to snap out of my mind. "Ready to go?" he spoke, his voice sounding just as tender as his eyes looked. I nodded absentmindedly at him and he leads me over to his car.

Watching Travis having a fun time bowling was quickly becoming something I enjoyed. I watched the wide smile on his face, the neon lights on his face and making his green eyes shine, showing how much fun he was.
"Yes! I got all the pins!" Travis turns to me, his teeth showing in his smile. He was so proud of himself, and he was looking at me for a praise. That brought a smile to my face, noticing how Travis was always looking for attention from people that will give him praise or love.
"That's so good, Trav!" I call out and stand up, walking over and picking up the bowling ball.
"You know, I can always show you how I am so good at bowling!" He gives me a wink, a wink that was all playful and friendly, nothing to do with his alter ego of a flirt.
"Alright, let's see if I be good." I chuckle and he steps closer to me. I feel the front of his chest press against my back. He wraps an arm around my waist and the other holds my wrist that held the bowling ball. I couldn't help but flush at the closeness.
"Spread your feet apart a bit more," Travis whispers while resting his head on my shoulder, his breath hitting my cheek. I try to ignore my blush as I spread my legs a bit more. "Your left leg a bit to the left and lean on it a bit more." He watches closely as I do so. "Point your right food towards the pins." He pulls away and I suddenly felt cold and a little sad at that. I ignore that and listen to his further instructions on what to do, and when I was ready I rolled the ball towards the pins. I was in awe when I got all of them down. I turned around with a big smile on my face to face him. Travis smiles back at me with his arms crossed over his chest, not as a defense but more as a relaxed position. Travis looked so soft under the neon blue and red lights, his eyes shining towards me.
I found myself watching him a lot while we bowl and towards the end I think he was starting to notice, but I found that I didn't really care all to much. We finish our bowling and put our jackets back on before heading outside. The wind was bowling lightly and messing with his hair, that catching my attention next.
"Wanna go back to my place?" I find myself asking as the day wasn't over yet. Travis' eyes flickering over to me and he nodded with a soft look on his face.
