A Harmless Date

Who: Celia and Eugen
When: May 13, Dinner
Where: A nice & quiet restaurant downtown.
What: Friends catching up and mending relationship.


"Did you enjoy it?" It took him this long to finally get to Celia between work, research, Gundams and more work. To be honest, he feels like a jerk for scolding her when she approached him for advice, all because they have differing views. So when the movie they've just finished feels more like a masochistic ride to him, it's ironically an apt punishment for what he has done. But he will not complain because Celia loves romance, even if it bores the sanity out of him. He's just glad it's over and they are now as far as they can be from the the silver screen.

"Are you hungry? We can walk to dinner if you are not. It's about ten minutes away on foot."

Despite the permanently pitiful state of his wallet, Eugen booked a nice place for dinner because he's apologizing. Celia deserves a proper apology even if he has to eat bread for the rest of the month. He could cut the amount of money he sends home but then he would feel like a tool for doing that to his parents and they would worry. The last thing he wants is them worrying over him. So, bread it is for him. And Celia's forgiveness...

"Of course," Celia says, clasping her hands in front of her. And judging from the smile on the brunette's face, she's being entirely honest. Romance might not be Eugen's cup of tea, but it's clearly Celia's. If her bookshelves of romance novels did not make that fact abundantly apparent to Eugen before now, a single showing of The Journal almost certainly would have driven that point home.

It had everything a good romance movie called for: Ryan Gosling, fated lovers, a kiss in the rain. While Celia was satisfied, she couldn't help but feel that Eugen didn't quite enjoy the film as much as she did.

"Dinner?" she echoes, her brows furrowed. It was one thing for Eugen to see a movie like The Journal with her, but Eugen rarely ate out; he didn't like to spend the money. And as much as he hated spending the money, he didn't like others covering his portion, either.

"Are you sure?"
