How Do We Date - Riddle + Floyd

Chapter 3 - part one

2:45 at the school gates.

"Heya Riddle."

You waved, while running to meet him.

"Hey (y/n)."

He greeted, standing at the gate, he's probably been there for a bit you thought.

"Alright let's go!"

You exclaimed excitedly!

"Wait. Did you ask Crowley for permission?"

"Oh, yeah I did don't sweat it. It's also the weekend, so why not go strolling around town."

You gave him a big smile.

"You know I don't think I've been into town too many times."

"I went only a few times, but never for long."

After saying this you looked over at Riddle and suddenly had an idea!

"Hey! Hold my hand."

"Huh! Pardon?"

"I asked you to hold my hand."

"W-why?"

He blushed a faint pink.

"Because I like to hold hands, I did it all the time with my friends back home. Plus think of it as practice-"

You leaned closer to him and lowered your voice then continued.

"For when you go out with Floyd~~~"

"Shut up!"
Riddle pushed you away now completely red.

"Hehe"
You let out a small giggle.

"Alright Im sorry, anywho the store is right up a head."

You pointed to some sign.

"Oh really?"

"Yup!"

"It didn't feel like that long."

"Maybe it's because you're having fun?"

"I guess so."
The little red head gave a nice smile.

You guys entered the store.

"So let's find something for you first."

"Are you sure though? I thought you needed clothes for yourself."

"Well yes but I know what I like and I've been to many thrift stores so I've gotten used to shopping in them and finding things, you on the other hand, have never bought clothes for yourself."

"Maybe so, but it can't be that hard."

You rolled your eyes at this. Shopping can be so tiring and hard at times, especially on a tight schedule which you were used to.

"Let's start with a top, what colour do you like?"

You asked riddle.

"Uh I've never really thought about it."

Welp that really helped.

"Alright did you ever notice a colour that suit you?"

"Not really."

"Are you being difficult?"

You asked pointing two fingers at him through narrowed eyes.

"N-no I've, just never thought about those things since I was never given the chance to."

"Now I feel bad."

You mumbled, so only you heard.

"What was that?"

"Nothing. Anywho a top for going to see fireworks. Let's look for a sweater of some sort."

We went over to the sweater section and started rummaging around.

"Hey (y/n)?"

"Yeah?"

"Have you ever been on like, you know a date?"

You stared at him blankly for a bit.

"Huh, nope."

"Huh?! I thought you knew about this stuff!"

"Well yes but no, you see I read a lot of romance and I have been on quite a few dates but only with friends. Sooo I can give advice but no first hand experience."

"Why did Trey think you were the right person to ask again?"

He narrowed his gaze, questioning you.

"Since I've basically become a therapist? And I care for you? Maybe also because we're friends?"

You gave a smile knowing there's probably a lot better people to ask but hey we're having fun.

"Somehow I can't seem to disagree."

You looked through the clothes in front, a light blue, off the shoulder sweater caught your eye.
You held it up and went over to riddle. Putting the shirt in front of him as if imagining him wearing it. You stayed silent for a bit.

"H-huh, (y/n), what are you doing?"

Riddle said confused and looking a little nervous.

"Ah! Sorry I was seeing if this would look good on you. I think it does what about you?"

"Umm I really don't know."

"Hey Riddle, if this isn't your thing then you don't have to do it. We don't have to get you a cute outfit, you can wear whatever you like, as long as your comfortable."

You said a little worried that this may be too out of his comfort zone.

"No. I want to, I never get to do this anyway. So I don't mind wearing something a little different. Plus you seem to have good taste."

He replied shyly.

Awww, he complimented me!! He's so precious! I swear if that mother of his or anyone else for that matter hurt him their done. End of story.
