The Date
I was nervous.
A date with a girl I’d talked to a little bit at lunch and before class had been set up by her without much notice in telling me. I probably should have expected that much from her though. Setsuna Tokage was a bit loco.
I had noticed her sitting just a couple of desks from where I was in class and how he sometimes sat near me, unintentionally or not. It was like she wanted to ask me out on a date. I knew some stuff about her already: She loved dinosaurs (I’d never seen her not wearing something dino-related) and she had what I thought was one of the weirdest quirks at UA High. Splitting yourself into tiny pieces is weird enough, but when you time it to 50? That’s a whole other level of strange.
“Hey, Andy!!” she called me at lunch one day, “How ’bout you come over here and sit with us? We gotta lot of cool people here!”
Taking my things over to where my potential date was, Setsuna was sitting with Kendo and Awase. Kendo waved at me while Awase gave me a thumbs up. Then Setsuna did something I wasn’t expecting. Whispering in my ear, she said:
“You’re cute. I’ve noticed you looking my way in class. Think we could be a couple?”
Suddenly, I felt Setsuna’s soft hand me something. A piece of paper. Her phone number was on it. After lunch, Setsuna shot me a quick sly glance and made the “call me” gesture with her hand.
I had something to do for the next couple of days.
Sitting in my dorm room, I could only think of what to do next.
Texting a girl was something I’d done before, but never for a date. I could only hope what kind of reaction I would get from Setsuna.
Hey Setsuna, it’s Andy. This is my number, I guess. Do you wanna like hang out sometime this weekend?
Not just 10 minutes later, this showed up on my screen:
Yo, Andy!! I knew you’d wanna go out with me!! What do you wanna do? We can go get something to eat or see a movie or whatever.
Setsuna then called me over HeroGram, which was like Instagram for UA students. From our video chat, we set up our date for later that night.
At Setsuna’s personal request, we met up at her favorite restaurant in downtown Musatafu. While we ate, I couldn’t help but notice how attractive Setsuna looked to me. Her green hair seemed to shimmer in the light at our table, her small-pupil brown eyes giving me half-closed looks. Out of all her features, Setsuna’s teeth were her most noticeable. Rows of jagged-looking fangs made up the majority of her mouth. It may have looked frightening and off-putting to some, but I actually had a thing for sharp-teeth girls. They reminded me of anthropomorphic shark women, whom I would frequently get off to privately.
“Notice anything you like about me yet?” Setsuna suddenly cut in. “Looks like you’re daydreaming.”
“Oh, sorry.” I blurted out. “I, uh... I didn’t mean to stare at you like that.”
Setsuna giggled. “You weren’t doing anything like that, silly. I could just tell you already like me.”
“What do you think I like about you?” I asked.
“Well,” Setsuna paused for a bit, “You think I’m attractive in some way, obviously. And I think my personality is sure to get any guy interested in dating me.”
“You’re probably right,” I said. “You do have a pretty nice personality, in my opinion.”
Setsuna smiled at me and then, getting up from her seat, came over to mine and sat down next to me. She wrapped her arm around my waist and whispered something in my ear.
“I can call this officially as you being my boyfriend.”
I started to sweat. I’d never had a girl sit so close to me before. And here Setsuna was, snuggling me almost as we sat together in the restaurant booth we were now sharing.
After our dinner date, Setsuna and I both walked out to her car.
At this point, I noticed Setsuna’s car was of course, like almost everything she wore, a shade of dark green, much like her hair. It was a small Honda Civic sedan.
“You like my ride?” Setsuna cut in. “It was my dad’s originally, and now I drive it. It’s got like 130 thousand miles on it but it still handles like a dream.”
“Yeah, nice car,” I said. “I actually have a Honda as well. Uh, 2003 CR-V, similar mileage. It’s dark blue”
“Really??” said Setsuna curiously. “Pretty cool that we both have the same make.”
The two of us hopped in her car where we continued to talk amongst one another. Soon, Setsuna asked me a very important question.
“Hey, uh, Andy?” she spoke softly. “Can I... Can I... kiss you?”
Looking Setsuna in her dark brown eyes, I leaned towards her lips. Setsuna took my face in her hands and then gave me a big surprise sloppy kiss. I heard Setsuna moan as her lips made contact with mine. She continued to moan audibly as she began to make out with me. Initially, I was surprised at Setsuna’s quick advances, but as she continued to kiss me, my body absorbed the feeling of Setsuna’s lips on mine and agreed with her actions.
After kissing for about 5 minutes, the two of us finally relented. Setsuna breathed deeply as she came down from her romantic experience.
“Hm.” She smirked. “I wonder... was that your first time being kissed by a girl?”
“Yeah,” I said shyly.
“Did it feel good?” Setsuna asked.
I nodded. Setsuna gave me another sloppy kiss on the lips and then climbed on top of me in the backseat of her car where we were. For the next hour or two, we continued to make out, teasing each other’s clothes but never going so far as to strip each other.
At about 10:30 PM, Setsuna noticed it was late.
“Hey, uh, Andy? I’m sorry, but I think we should probably get back to campus.”
“Yeah, that’s probably a good idea.” I said. “11 PM curfew and all.”
“I had a lot of fun with you tonight, though,” Setsuna said, smiling her fangs at me. “What about you?”
“Yeah, me too,” I said. “Do you wanna do this again sometime?”
Setsuna gave me a wink.
“You know it. I’m your dino girl and you’re my dino man.”
THE END
