Blind Date
Mikey X Reader
The idea was originally Chris and Carlyโs, both of them saying something about him needing to get out and talk with someone. Carly had a friend, and with a little talking and persuasion he found himself sitting in a restaurant at a 2 person table waiting anxiously for this person to show up.
The lunch date was supposed to take place at 1pm, a bit later to avoid any lunch rush the little restaurant might have and give them time to sit and speak properly. He had shown up at 12:40, and it was now 12:50 with most of the restaurant being empty aside from a few people here and there throughout the tables. He glances down at his phone for a second, his foot bouncing at a steady pace as he tries to calm his nerves.
He glances up as he hears the bell to the front door ring and there he sees them walking in, in a causal outfit with their hair done nicely and a soft smile on their face. They pause for a moment to speak with the hostess before theyโre brought over to the table heโs seated at.
โHey, you must be Mike right?,โ They ask with a warm smile as they offer up a hand for a quick handshake. His eyes flicker down for a moment before his own hand meets theirs in a firm but polite shake.
โYeah, (Y/n) right?,โ He ask and they nod, โYeah, itโs nice to finally meet you.โ They say before taking a seat across from him. โSorry for showing up a bit late, I was having some trouble finding the place. Hopefully you didnโt wait too long,โ He shakes his head, โNo youโre all right, I wasnโt waiting that long. Have you been here before?,โ He ask.
They give a small shake of the head, โNo, have you?,โ He nods his head, โOh, well do you have any recommendations on what to get?โ They ask offer up a small smile in return. โThe Avocado burger is pretty good,โ He voices his opinion and they nod, โThen Iโll give that a try,โ They retort with a smile, not even bothering to open the menu as the waiter appears to take their order.
Once everything is ordered and they finally left alone again (Y/n) speaks up, โSo, whatโd Carly say to you in order to get you here?,โ They ask with a chuckle, and he feels the tension in his shoulders subsided a little, โShe talked with you too?โ He ask and they nod, โSheโs been hassling me about it for a week now,โ They say and he gives a smile in return, โGood to know Iโm not the only that was practically forced into doing this,โ He says with a chuckle and they nod giving a small chuckle with him.
The air felt lighter after that, like his nerves had been stripped the minute he knew he wasnโt the only one that had been practically coerced into doing this. Taking a moment he looks over their face, slowly taking in their appearance and finding himself pausing on their eyes. They were such a rich (e/c), and in the lighting of the restaurant they seemed to sparkle a little.
A small warmth settles into his stomach at the realization of it, before they speak up, โWe donโt have to stay long if you donโt want to be here. I understand how annoying it can be meeting up with someone you donโt really know.โ They say with a sincere tone and smile. He softly shakes his head, โNo, No, thatโs okay, you seem like a cool person so I donโt mind having lunch with you.โ He says, and that warmth grows as (Y/n) smiles grows at his words and they give a small nod.
1pm turns to 2pm, 2pm turns to 3pm, before 3pm turns to 4pm. The 2 of them quickly seeming to find similar interest in a variety of things and hobbies. It felt like talking with a close friend only a few minutes into the meeting, and Mikey was kicking himself a little when their waiter approached and asked the 2 of them to clear the table for another set of people. The date was over at this point, much to his distaste, but he offered up his arm and lead them from the restaurant outside to their car.
โI had a really nice time, thank you.โ They say as the 2 of them stop in front of (Y/n)โs vehicle. He gives a small nod in return, โYeah, donโt mention itโฆI enjoyed myself as well.โ He admits with a soft smile. Both of them pause for a moment, silence finally filling the air before (Y/n) speaks up, โSoโฆ do you want my number?โ They ask as their face turns a soft shade of red with the question.
He could feel the heat creeping up his neck and onto his face as he nods before holding out his phone for them to take. โGive me a call sometime, Iโd really like to do this again,โ They say before they lean forward and quickly place a kiss on his cheek.
Before he can really react fully they quickly unlock their door and get into their car, โUh, yeah, yeah, Iโll give you a call.โ He says as he gives a small wave as they pull out of their parking spot, and soon pull out onto the street.
He glances down at his phone for a moment looking over the number and their name now saved into his contacts. A smile spreading across his lips as he locks his phone and heads towards his car. This had gone a lot better than he originally thought, maybe Chris and Carly were right, maybe this kind of change would be good for him.
