It Started With A Diary

34 First Date

Vaati pov.

It was surprising to me when Ganon told me that he was going to take me to an actual restaurant. Well more surprised at the fact that we'd be alone for that. It's probably that his parents are starting to get suspicious about why I only ever go to their place. But I almost feel special, almost, I just can't help but feel like a small part of him may like me.

"So you picked out the chicken Alfredo," well someone had no idea what's so ever to start a conversation. 

But at least it's workable "yeah I hate most meat due to its texture so chicken is my best bet, and I never get pasta without the exact same cheap tomato sauce" I tell him hoping that he'll have a better idea for a question. 

"So your dad buys a lot of no name?" Ganon asks finding some conversation.

The waitress comes with our food and Ganon focuses on his steak for a bit. "So has that guy been giving you any more issues?" He asks when I have a mouthful. There's a little awkward pause as I quickly swallow it. 

"It started back up for a little bit, then his wrist was broken, it probably won't last as long. Due to his leg being what's slowing him down. Was that you?" I ask him with a little smile. He stares at me for a moment before nodding.

"Thank you, he really does terrify me," I tell him taking a drink of my soda. 

"Yeah... well I'm happy to help you" Ganon says before abruptly getting up to go to the bathroom. I shrug to myself and continue eating, stealing a carrot, I never have time to actually cook them and I really liked them cooked. He comes back, finishes the meal and pays for us.

"So what made you take me on a date?" I ask him with a little him as he starts the car. 

It takes us leaving the parking lot for him to answer "Yuga and Agahnim said I needed to. Why didn't you tell me when your birthday was?..." he says trailing off a little. 

"I figured it didn't matter, not like any of this is real. Plus I've never really been someone to celebrate it. You really didn't have to do anything," I tell him. I need to keep my distance. I can't get attached to him, he'll leave once this is all over and we'll never see each other again.
