“You ready?” You asked Gerard, despite the fact he came to pick you up and was walking you to his car. He just nodded, smiling sweetly and too busy making it to the other side of the car to open the passenger door.
Door didn’t open. You just smile at him politely, you had known him for at least a couple months now and he had a charm of having no charm at all. It didn’t matter much because that lack of charm worked on you by now better than if it were there. Gerard dug in his pocket hastily for the key remote and in result the key fell, “fuck” he muttered picking it up and clicking the button to unlock firmly, the car made small unlock sound and he pulled the handle again.
Gerard ran a hand through his hair with a sigh.
“Is the door stuck?” You asked trying to relieve some of the weird awkward tension. He giggled awkwardly in response, high pitched and shy. “Yeah, fuckin piece a’ junk” he opened the backseat door instead. “Sorry you gotta—….” You interrupted his mumbled apologies “oh-no! No it’s okay, really!” You got into the backseat.
The drive there would’ve been just as awkward but thank god for music and car stereos.
“What movie are we watching” you ask once walking next to him across the parking lot, there was no parking space near the front of course.
He seemed to light up at that question, “Star Wars, uhhh revenge of the sith you’ve watched Star Wars?” You nod, “really only watched the first movie.”Gerard smiled, he slowed down and started talking “really? Man you gotta watch all of them, everyone’s going crazy for this one there’s supposed to be like a huge fucking plot twist there was people campin last week when it came out,” he rambled hand moving dramatically as if he was actually painting the scene in the air, “the last movie was so great and I don’t wanna really spoil things but this is gonna spoil most of it anyway because it’s prequ-“
Gerard’s hands go back down and keeps walking, just now realizing he had been in the middle of the parking lot talking about Star Wars. You stifle a laugh because it’s hard not to laugh when he gets pink in the face. The car speeds off to be rude.
Inside, the line was long, Gerard hadn’t spoke since he got beeped at. At least you both weren’t late to the movie right? The person at the concession was some worn down teenager, very stoned. “How can i help …you?” He sighed. “Um can we get uh two?…no just…ah, a large tub of popcorn and.. can I get a Diet Coke?” Gerard asked seeming disturbed that teens were running the place, the stoned guy plops the large tub of popcorn on the counter along with the coke, “feryou?” He mumbled staring at you, “I’ll have an icee please.?”The kid got everything and added it up on the register.
Gerard grasps at his jeans pocket, then the other, and the other and the other. Looking even more distressed he felt up his jacket “fuck—…I left-I left my wallet in the”
“It- it’s ok I can pay” you offer sincerely, Gerard apologized to you for the hundredth time that evening.”shit. I’m sorry”
After paying you follow along Gerard to whatever theatre he was taking you both to. “M’sorry I don’t know how I even forget-“ you interrupt him again “it’s ok don’t apologize”, you couldn’t help but feel guilty at how much he was beating himself up over it, poor guy couldn’t catch a break.
You both go near theatre 12 and there was a man collecting tickets, Gerard grabs your arm gently to stop you from walking. “They were in my wallet.” He says like it’s a world destroying declaration. “The tickets?”
“Oh” you couldn’t really say much at this point, this was awkward and embarrassing for you now too because he was staring at you like you would come up with some grand solution. Which you ended up doing.
“Wait you bought the tickets when?”
Gerard looked caught off guard by that question “this morning- I didn’t want the seats to be taken but-“awww cute he had been preparing for the date since this morning? Well it didn’t pay off.
“Okay we just sneak in….”you say trying to find some plan “just say we already checked in and we went to get get popcorn?”
Gerard pressed his lips together in thought deciding. He decided and just walked forward, you followed. At first you almost made it in until the ticket man gripped your shoulder yanked you back.
“Uh. We already gave them to you earlier.”
The ticket man just started at you then Gerard who gave the awkwardness smile. To avoid accumulating a line the ticket man just let you both in.
When you and Gerard got in your seats, Gerard sighed in relief like he was safe from whatever bad luck was obviously cursing him this day.
“At least we’re on time and didn’t miss any of the movie” he suggested
“Yea—“ Gerard knocked the popcorn over on you and on the ground, you managed to kind of catch the bucket.
“Ah shit” he complained “sorry just” he placed the bucket on your lap, “just have what’s left…”
The movie started but Gerard could even pay attention he was just reliving and regretting all his choices of today in his head.
When he brought you back to your place he insisted on paying you for the food but you refused and he gave up after 4 tries.
“Sorry about today.” He mumbled dissapointedly
“Hey it’s alright it was great” you lied cheerfully
“No I fucked it all up…. Can I make it up…take you to another movie but make everything go the way it’s supposed to” he asked like it hurt
“Uuuhhmm yeah! Yeah sure! Um anytime just call me…” you get out the car and wave goodbye and go inside.
He was the sweetest but maybe not kinda guy that’s good at dates in public. You decide to give him another chance for a second date, but not the movies, never again.
