[This is the first time Fray has ever been on a date. He can't even pull from V'rhas's memories on the subject, because V'rhas has been too busy saving the world and FFXIV is not a dating sim. So Fray's spent far too long getting ready, making sure he looks presentable and arrives in a timely manner so as not to keep his beloved waiting.
Somehow, it hadn't occurred to him that Argenti would put just as much effort in, and end up even more stunning than usual. His radiance is nearly blinding, both because of that beautiful look of excitement and the change of clothes - not to mention his hair! He really did get incredibly lucky, didn't he...?
Anyway, Fray is wrapped up in a hug and he's quick to return it - it feels so different without his armor on. He's opted for a different sort of dark blue today, complete with slacks and dress shoes that he still feels a little uncomfortable in. Still, he's getting used to spending more time out of armor, and the simple ponytail he's tied his hair back in today is slightly different as well.]
As though I could be anything other than excited? I've been looking forward to this.
[He returns the hug eagerly, nuzzling against Argenti's jaw gently which causes his ears to flick a bit. Deal with it.]
Though you needn't worry about me so, you know. I would never dream of showing up sleep-deprived to our date.
[ V'rhas needs to get on making FFXIV a dating sim time for dates one day, but no one heard of the beautiful Knights of Beauty doing very much the same. Argenti himself never imagined getting into a proper relationship at all, though it is questionable if the other Knights of Beauty believed the same as well.
That being said, he happens to look upon Fray, smile soft and small as he observes the blues he's dressed with in intricate detail - someone else here has endeavored to prepare himself to show off in his own way. How beautiful comes the thought, certainly not bidden - more welcoming, for sure. He allows himself the full warmth of that embrace, sinking into it further, feeling something like a giddy happiness when the other nuzzles against his jaw softly, laughing a little. ]
I can feel it show through your actions as well... I must confess I did not expect any less.
[ Argenti returns the nuzzle with a surprise but warm kiss against those lips when he thinks he can sneak it in. Surprise! ]
Oh! I also see my dearest one has obtained quite the sense of humor. Or rather, has brought it out to play. That being said, I have to say that you look even more stunning today. The outfit you chose suits you well.
[You can't just kiss him and then start yapping!! How is he supposed to enjoy the kiss if you're yapping?? Mild exasperation aside, he's still grinning and the praise gets him to flush.]
And you're the very picture of beauty, to borrow your turn of phrase.
[That's also light, not quite a jab but close enough. It's not like Fray's usually engaging in playful banter, after all.]
I did have help from Sayaka and Aerith in choosing outfits. I'm hardly cut out for it myself; I've only ever worn armor, after all.
[And V'rhas's fashion sense is... questionable...]
[ That's his most evilest and most incredibly big diabolical plan...unless Fray can get him back in turn!!
But, Fray's praise does get Argenti to blush. It's already far more effective when spoken by his dear, beloved one. ]
...You certainly have borrowed it well.
[ Honestly, most remarks from Fray on his beauty can get him to flush these days but shh. ]
They assisted? I suppose I know who else to thank for this most wonderful sight! That said, I hope you eventually do get used to it. After all, I have enjoyed seeing you out of your armor, with clothing that has suited you well.
[ What is V'rhas's fashion sense like, even...can't wait for him to find it out. ]
[Ah, look at that blush... How gorgeous. He truly has the most beautiful boyfriend in the entire world.]
I suppose I may get used to it eventually, especially since you're so fond of it. I do still prefer my armor, but this is... nice.
[He looks different from V'rhas, and that means a lot to him. Fray shakes his head as if to dismiss that thought and moves to take Argenti's hand instead, finally releasing him.]
But come now, you've gone to all the trouble of preparing this for us; let's not put it to waste.
[ A beautiful boyfriend who is the Knight of Beauty...funny how that works.
But as the other male moves to release him and grips his hand instead, Argenti squeezes it softly, grip gentle, and secure. ]
You truly do not know how much it has made my heart leap with great cheer.
[ He waits for the moment to clear, noticing the other man shaking his head, and then the other male speaks again, providing a good point indeed... ]
Oh, that would be most unfortunate indeed. Now, let me show you the spot, it shouldn't be too far!
[ He gestures over to it, happily leading them over. It's nearby some trees, while also close to like some farm area, but that is unavoidable since the outskirts are full of farms or something like that. ]
Can you guess some of what I managed to cook up? I shall even give a hint to one of the dishes! It begins with the letter M and one other word has something to do with us taking pictures, plus it is yellow. [ Though does Macaroni and Cheese exist in Eorzea...rip. ] Oh, but the other one is far more simpler, you see, it can be a most delicious combination depending on what you place between two slices of bread. It begins with S and ends with H!
[ Sandwich...but he's kind of a menace making this into little a guessing game. Fray this is who you will have to deal with the rest of your life. ]
[We are definitely still holding hands on the way over, because Fray doesn't want to let go. It doesn't matter that this is childish, because it's not like Fray had a childhood to begin with, so there.
He grins at Argenti's words, gently squeezing his hand.]
Turning this into a game when you could save time by just telling me? Very well, I'll play along. The first must be macaroni and cheese, yes?
[i am not looking through all of the culinarian recipes, i will trust we have mac and cheese and if i am wrong then i will perish in embarrassment.]
As for the second... Hmm. I feel as though this should be obvious, but I've never been good at guessing games.
[ ...Well, that is something both of them can indulge in - Argenti has no intention whatsoever in allowing his hand to let go of Fray's either. United in childish sappiness...or rather, he'd consider it romantic.
Though he seems to flush a little in embarrassment when he mentions the part about a game, even if it's true. There's a bright smile, complete with sparkles when the other man guesses well. If there's mac and cheese, there are certainly baguettes in Eorzea, surely- ]
Yes, you're most right, my love!
[ He gives something like an encouraging little squeeze in return now, eyes sparkling in delight. ]
That is alright. Some things that may seem obvious may in truth never end up being so. But, for this it's sandwiches. Made with all the loving and care in the universe.
As though you would prepare them with anything less? [Jokes aside, though...] I look forward to experiencing your culinary skill. Thank you for preparing this for us, my beloved.
[ No no he has to get in on this joke - that being said, he IS excited to show off his culinary skills. Or rather, newly updated ones...he's been practicing, okay. ]
But, it's truly no trouble at all. I only hope that you enjoy what I've made.
[ Now time to guide them to a spot under one of those trees they've managed to get closer to! He will plop himself down, while waiting for Fray to follow the same before settling the picnic basket down, as well as begin to open it so he can set out the require cloth to place their foodstuffs upon. Naturally, as he does so, he continues speaking... ]
I've been practicing, since I don't usually have the opportunity to make much variety when it comes to meals, but ever since coming here I have far more downtime than I do when I've been traveling as a devoted Knight of Beauty!
