[Unexpected Date] Medic X Reader

You asked the first question on your mind, pulling up a menu between you two so nobody could hear. Leaning in, you breathed, "Why exactly are you doing this..? Not that I'm not grateful.." He pulled back with a chuckle, throwing his head back before gently placing his large hand on the menu, and pushing it down so the restaurant could see you both. Your eyes widened a bit, and he smiled warmly at you.

"If I hadn't, zhen vhat vould you be doing now?" He said in a hushed tone, before winking and turning in his seat. He called over a waiter, and the two of you ordered. The process was painfully awkward for you, however. You were dining with a complete stranger! But it was a sweet gesture, trying to 'save' you, that is.. His smooth German accent was something uncommon in this town, and you enjoyed listening to him. You practically hung on every word he said, wanting to hear him speak more. Was that weird, for someone you just met?

After the waiter left with a soft smile at the two of you, you turned to your 'date'. For the first time, you actually studied his face. His cool gray eyes were round in the dim lighting, with his dark eyebrows reposed above them with a tilt. His carved cheekbones curved down into his sly smile and strong jawline, smoothed over with shaven stubble. His hair was a jet black, with a sheen along a small curl of hair resting on his forehead. Round, silver rimmed glasses with chestnut sides were loosely perched on his nose, sitting crookedly. You had to admit, he was handsome. But why did he feel the need to 'save' you?

He noticed you shifting uncomfortably in your seat. "If you're wondering about zhe bill, I vouldn't really vorry about zhat, I will pay." You were made even more uncomfortable by that. A complete stranger, who is slightly attractive, just happened to walk in at the right time, and is now paying for your meal, in place of your no-show date.

"Totally read my mind." You said, trying to play it cool. He knew something was wrong, however, and pulled out his phone.

"Vould you like to, if it makes you feel any better, call your boyfriend?" He asked politely.

"Boyfriend..? Well, I wouldn't really call him that.. After all, he had just asked me on this date, he never actually proposed that idea.... Plus he abandoned me." you responded without much thought. In truth, the boy whom had asked you out was sweet and all, but you were concerned and a little angry that he didn't show up. What if, to make him jealous, you had a fun night with this man instead? Maybe take a few pictures as well, and put them up on social media? Either that, or 'accidentally' show him. Your inner devil was laughing maniacally. Even the little angel on your shoulder agreed.

"Oh. Sorry, I didn't realize.." the man responded to your statement, slipping away his phone.

"No, you're fine. Actually, I was wondering, if this isn't too odd of a request, if we could leave this place? It keeps reminding me of him.. I know we just ordered, but I'd like to leave." it was partially a lie, but you figured it was the best thing you had to keep things interesting. A dinner date wasn't your ideal date, anyways.

"Of course! Und I'm sure it must hurt, but I assure you, heartbreak ist an easy zhing to cure." His odd sentence made you wonder what he meant, but he had already stood and was holding out his hand to you to help you up. You stood up out of your seat without his help and brushed past his tall pose with a twinkle in your eyes, and he snorted back a laugh.

Once the both of you were outside, in the cold, damp twilight, the two of you halted. The murmur of hushed wind blew cooly through the streets, making trees sway and clouds drift. The sun was setting, and no light reached the ground as it almost completely dipped beyond the horizon.

"At zhis point I should probably take my leave, my vork here ist done." The man said, turning to go. Shadows lapped around his frame like ink on parchment.
