Overplot: Pavlova sets you two up on a Valentine’s date, except that you two don’t know who your date is until you two meet.

You check your phone as the clock ticks by. Your posture is tense, you start to sweat a little bit, and you place a bouquet of dark colored flowers and a small box of chocolate on the table as you sit at the table that pavlova set up for you. He said something about not wanting you to be alone on Valentine’s Day, so he decided to set you up with a date. You wouldn’t mind it, if it weren’t for the fact you don’t know who it could be. All that you know is that it’s a guy who’s into gothic stuff and gossip.
You sigh hopelessly as you begin looking at the menu, trying to get your mind off it. After all, this guy could get sick and not show up, or maybe he already has a date, and just decided to ghost you. It wouldn’t be the first time it happens, but it doesn’t mean it hurts any less. You keep an eye on the menu, trying to figure out what to eat.
The bell to the restaurant rings and you look up, thinking it’d be a couple coming in, but nope. It’s black sapphire cookie. Wearing a black pinstripe suit with a dark purple tie, his usual black sapphire gem broach, and of course, his iconic white flower pin pinned to his suit. He holds a bouquet of your favorite flowers in his arm as he leans against the doorframe, waiting for someone to take him to his table. He taps his finger on the doorframe as he begins to think about how pavlova cookie owes him if this goes wrong. He glances around the restaurant full of couples, and then he sees you. His eyes widen in surprise. He honestly didn’t expect you to be at the restaurant too, maybe pavlova cookie set you up as well? I mean, hate to admit it, but you’re not exactly the most talkative guy on the block.
Black sapphire cookie looks around for a moment before he steps over to your table and sits across from you. While it’s technically his day off, and is waiting for his date, he can sit with you and see if you’re stuck in the same position as him. You look at him with a gaze of confusion as he sits in front of you, his smirk never fading.
“So, pavlova cookie set you up on a date as well I assume?”
You nod softly as you glance away in embarrassment. You honestly shouldn’t have told pavlova cookie anything, but you knew he’d set you up anyways.. so either way, you would’ve been here.
“Yeah… I-“ you sigh in defeat. “I.. I don’t know if I should tell you how I ended up here…”
“If you’re worried about me using your words on the show, then worry not, for I left my microphone at home!”
“What..?”
You stare at him in shock, no, disbelief. That the gossipmonger himself left his microphone at home. You couldn’t believe it even if he shows proof of it, you just couldn’t. He never goes anywhere without it! Is this even black sapphire cookie?!
Black sapphire cookie looks away and has a hand over his mouth as he tries to stifle a laugh. I mean, he can’t exactly blame you for being surprised, but your reaction is so priceless! You just have this dead-stare with your eyes wide, trying to comprehend what he just said. Oh, you’re just so adorable, how are you not taken yet?
“Ah, yes. My mic started to bug on me, so my master is taking a look at it. I think pavlova cookie put something in it while I wasn’t looking, but I won’t know until I get a text from him about it. So~ you got lucky, your secret is safe with me tonight..~!”
You sigh in defeat as you stare at him, that sweetly cunning smirk that’s made girls swoon left and right.
“Tch… I told pavlova cookie that I wanted to experiment in my romantic orientation. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’ve had romantic feelings for women, but I’ve been a little curious about how dating a guy would be… and… well, here I am.. He told me to meet here for my date tonight, and all I know is that he likes gothic stuff and gossips…”
You hate to admit it, but you can see why they were so crazy about him. He’s mysterious, elegant, and most importantly, charismatic. Not to mention his gothic attire… wait… gothic stuff and gossip… shit. He’s your date, isn’t he?
Black sapphire pulls out his phone and checks the text pavlova cookie sent him. He looks to you, then the text again.. and it finally starts clicking in his head.. you are his valentine’s date. A teasing smirk forms on his face as he leans on the table.
“Well well well~ and here I thought tonight was going to be boring without my mic!”
You blush a deep red as his gaze softens and puts his phone onto do not disturb as he sets it back into his coat pocket. Once done with that, he notices the flowers and chocolates on the table. A slight blush forms on his face as he sees the flowers. Black irises, black baccara roses, blue thistles, and lavender is in place of baby’s breath. He carefully reaches out for them and holds the bouquet in his arms. He stares at you with surprise, looks like you did your research on gothic flowers!
“I’m sorry if you don’t like them, I tried my best to research flowers that goths would like on the internet… but if I knew it would be you, I would’ve-“
“They’re perfect!”
Black sapphire smiles sweetly before he looks over to you, stuck in your soft sweater covered with a simple vest and trousers. You obviously didn’t know that you’d go on a date with black sapphire cookie. If you knew, you would’ve dressed up a little more to appease him. Then again, I think your dedication to researching gothic culture, history, and preferences may have saved you.
Black sapphire slides over the bouquet of your favorite flowers with a soft smile, watching you carefully take them with a soft blush on your face. You look to him and smile softly, bashful over being gifted flowers for the first time.
“Thank you- uh.. I didn’t expect that I’d be gifted flowers..! Uhm..”
“First time receiving them?”
You nod and smell the flowers. A soft scent fills your senses as your blush deepens slightly. You watch black sapphire play with the little black lace ribbon before he looks up and smirks a little bit.
“Well, we should probably figure out what to eat first, shouldn’t we?”
You nod before your stomach begins to growl. You put a hand on your stomach as he stiffles a laugh. You set down the flowers onto the table and look at the menu. Eventually you settle on some chicken Alfredo and some cola, and black sapphire cookie decides to have a steak, rare cut, with some sparkling wine.
The dinner goes surprisingly well, you two begin to chat about your lives and how they differ. You’re helping run the summer festivities this year, he’s getting insider intel on recent scandals that hit the news recently. Apparently parfait cookie’s new manager was caught cheating on his wife not too long ago, someone around his and your age. He was like, 45 in human years, mind you. After you both cringed at the texts he showed you that he paid to get, you two begin talking about goth music. There was many bands you were not aware of, and the only one you knew was cherry siouxsie cookie and the banshees, Or just siouxie and the banshees, twin tribes, sisters of mercy, the cure, and many more. You can’t believe how many bands he knew of, and they were constantly going up too! Eventually, you get a playlist link sent to you by black sapphire. He says it’s good for starter goths, or “baby bats” as they’re called!
You two just couldn’t seem to stop chatting while eating. You eventually order some crème brûlée for yourself, while black sapphire gets some rose velvet cake. Slowly adding more to the budget as you two continue chatting throughout the hour.
After you two finish eating, you sigh softly before leaning back in your seat. You have never felt more full from food until now… maybe it’s because you overate just so you can keep talking to black sapphire cookie… you’ll probably never know, but black sapphire cookie also over-ate as well to stick around.
“You know what, despite his matchmaking habits, pavlova cookie definitely knows where good food is! I’ll have to come back here sometime!”
“Agreed, maybe I should bring my staff here for a company dinner sometime!..although….”
He stares at you for a moment, a knowing smirk forms on his face.
“I’m getting the feeling that you do not wish for this to end yet.. is that true?”
You nod slowly, a slight blush dusting over your cheeks as a his smirk grows wider, he leans over and grabs the flowers you got him and his gaze softens. It’s not the usual lustful half-lidded stare, but something more gentle and soft. It’s unusual for him, but it’s enough to make your heart pound in your chest.
“Well then, the feeling is mutual. I happen to know a place where we can go and spend some more… quality time together.. but you’ll need to trust me, alright?”
You nod softly as the waiter approaches with the bill, you take out your credit card, but not before black sapphire takes out his debit card and pays for the whole meal. Which if you include all the appetizers and desserts you two ordered, plus tip, it’s around $500 worth of food. Your face reddens with embarrassment as black sapphire pays, because you two shouldn’t have spent maybe no more than half of what the price is… but time and money flies when you’re having fun!
Eventually, you two walk out from the restaurant as black sapphire checks the time. 10:30PM, the perfect time for what else he’s got planned! He looks to you in your sweater-vest suit, your hand in his as he feels the warmth of your skin against his. To be honest, he wasn’t expecting much tonight, but hey, love apparently finds a way. He’s also surprised about how you remained single up until this point. I mean yeah, he’s heard of your previous flings through the radio waves of earthbread, but yet here you are, holding hands with him as he walks you to the place he’s been wanting to take you for quite some time now.
You look up to the sky, the light pollution creating this hazy effect that hides the stars. You sigh softly, a little upset about the lack of the stars before you feel your hand be squeezed gently. You look to black sapphire cookie and tilt your head slightly, he notices a lot of little details about you. Strong, introverted, intelligent, not to mention charming. But he never would have guessed that you are a lover of the stars! This night couldn’t go any better, I mean, you are literally his type, and you two are getting along, and now he finds out you’re a stargazer? This night is just perfect, and it’ll get even more so with what black sapphire cookie has planned!
“Do you wish to see the stars better?”
Your eyes widen slightly. He’s able to tell so much about you, just from the little movements you make. It makes you wonder how long he’s been trained like this by shadow milk cookie, how many cookies he’s able to read like this, and just how more experienced he is in the dating pool. You get snapped out of your surprise as he leans in a little bit to get your attention, and you nod sheepishly.
“I’m surprised you already know so many things about me though so little information…”
“In this era, information and rumors fly faster than you can imagine. Not to mention that you’re quite easy to read once you’ve relaxed. Whenever you and I started talking and laughing, you let down most of your walls. It’s quite adorable Y’know, willing to trust someone like me so easily..it’s very sweet… like you..”
Black sapphire cookie raises your hand and leans in to give it a delicate kiss. You shudder softly as you feel his sharp fangs graze your skin ever so slightly behind his lips. A heavy blush forms over your face before he looks back to you and smirks.
“Now then, I suggest we head off to the next destination. I’m sure you’ll be able to see plenty of stars after what I’ve got planned!”
He carefully drags you beyond the city of the kingdom, only moonlight illuminating the pathway of the forest. The peace and quiet is much better than the constant bustling of the kingdom. You can hear the sound of the wildlife around you. Crickets buzzing, birds chirping softly, and the sight of fireflies flying around made the scenery all the more pleasant and peaceful..
Eventually you two stop to a clearing. A clearing where the stars, no, the whole galaxy is visible to see. The moon blends in with the many stars surrounding it, and the scent of willow fills your senses as you stare in awe. You have only dreamed of seeing so many stars, and yet, you are here in a small clearing, with all the stars at your sight. Black sapphire cookie steps forward as he steps closer to a giant ring of black roses. Not deep red, almost black, genuine black. Deeply rooted into the ground below, an offering made of love and devotion made long ago..
Black sapphire sits down on a soft, thick blanket, setting his bouquet of flowers next to him. He holds an arm out, beckoning you to join him.
“C’mere, I promise they don’t bite..~!”
You hesitate, but you step forward and sit next to him, the bouquet of roses next to you as you begin to relax. Black sapphire pulls out a small box he left between the thorny branches, and he pulls out a small CD player with multiple CDS, most of them the bands he talked about.. Some kind of southern goth song called “The devil’s backbone”. (Created by the civil wars if you’d like to look it up and listen to it!)
He sighs and leans back as he listens in quietly, the music wrapping around his ears as if it were ragged lace and bandages soaked with dried blood. Eerie, yet charming for someone such as him.
You scoot closer to him, leaning your head on his shoulder. You listen closely to the lyrics.
“Oh lord oh lord, what do I do? I’ve fallen for someone who’s nothing like you.”
You look up at him with a gentle gaze, softening from the feeling of eerie calm as the lyrics continue to play..
“He’s raised on the edge of the devil’s backbone, I just want to take him home..”
He looks down to you with a smirk on his face, wrapping a wing around you as he sighs in content. He has you where he wants you, under his wings, in his arms.
You wrap your arms around him in a tight hug, hesitating slightly before black sapphire cookie leads your hands to his back. He leans in closer and leaves a gentle kiss on your forehead, leading you to gasp softly. A smug chuckle escapes him as he leans in closer.
“Had I known that you were like this, I would’ve asked you out sooner~!”
A blush forms on your face before he lets out a small laugh and holds you closer to his chest. You let out a huff before he pets your head, holding you close to him as the song continues to play.
“So~ experiment successful?”
You stay quiet before you lean forward slightly. Your face is blushing softly in the moonlight as you cup his cheek.
“Almost.. there’s one last thing I want to try… May I…?”
Your voice lowers to a whisper as you get closer, your blush heaving in intensity as you wait for an answer.
Black sapphire’s face dusts over with a blush before he leans in carefully, letting you gently pull him in for a kiss.
The kiss is simple, but yet so intense. As with all first kisses, it feels overwhelming to you. Your body heats up, breath becoming feverish, squeezing your eyes shut as black sapphire leads a hand to your back. He wraps his arm around your waist as he uses his other hand to support your back, letting a soft sigh leaves his throat as he savors this moment.. it’s cute watching you struggle with this. So inexperienced, yet so sweet.
You pull away to catch your breath, your chest heaving in air as a heavy blush covers your face. Black sapphire cookie chuckles softly and holds onto you, watching you regulate yourself.
“Overdid yourself, didn’t you~?”
“Ah- be quiet…!”
He chuckles as you lean your head against his chest, a sigh leaves you as you wrap your arms around him. You feel a flower be put in your hair, a simple black rose, and he keeps his wings around you both.
“..say, why don’t we do this again sometime…?”
You nod softly. Looking up at him with a smile.
“Next time, you get to pick the spot!”
He smirks and kisses your head, a smug smile enters his face as he leans back.
“Alright then, I’ll pick you up at 8:30PM, next Saturday?”
You nod with a smile and lean back into his chest. Looks like this date pavlova cookie’s little dating setup actually worked for you. And it’s not the end just yet, you two have many more adventures to go on together!!

Finally. One of three requests done. I hope you all like it!! ^^
I’m sorry it took so long to get it done, most of the requests happened during the first week(s) after graduation, so I’ve been carefully doing portions of different fics at a time, so that way I don’t make my burnout recovery any harder.
I also was worried of messing up on this fic, since I don’t usually write male characters x male readers, so constructive criticism would be appreciated on this one!
——————————————————-
OKAY, READING LIST!!:
@sleepy-meep (<- Ty for requesting!!) @sweetcoorpse @hunniegl4zed

If you want to get added to the reading list, just hop into the comments and tell me!
I have two other fics in the works, but I am open to requests for fics and/or art, it might just take some time to get it all done though!
