[Chuuya had been telling the truth when he admitted to Kaeya he's never really 'done this' before. A real, proper date with someone special to him.
The closest he's probably managed is asking a coworker out for some casual drinks and the occasionally just as casual sex that happened afterwards. It's never meant anything.
And this thing with Kaeya is just the opposite. Which means he's nervous about everything.
He might have bugged Diluc for tips on what and what not to do, and fussed over his wardrobe more than a little. He'd spent a few days debating on if flowers would be too much for a first date, and what type. He checked various restaurants and locations, trying to find a place he thought Kaeya would definitely enjoy.
So on the day of, when he shows up at Diluc and Kaeya's place, he's doing his best to seem collected and self-assured. He knocks on the door with a small bouquet of winter flowers in blues, whites and purples in his hand, dressed sharply in a black jacket and vest, with a shirt a rich shade of red.
There's a bright smile on his face when Kaeya opens the door, but there is no hiding the slight flush to his cheeks that betrays the nervous energy buzzing through him.] Hey.
[Kaeya was also quite nervous. This was probably one of the first genuine dates he had been on in a long time. Not that he hadn't gone out with others before, but it had been months since the last time, he wagered. Like, full on, dressing up and all that kind of date.
But, he managed to keep it together as he slid the door opened. He was dressed in a similar manner rather than the Eastern styles he had adopted lately. A rich blue vest with a white shirt and coat. Unbottoned, of course, even in the cooler weather. He smiled brightly and reached out for the flowers.]
Hello. For me?
[His hair was also pulled up in a high ponytail. Most of his bangs fell to one side, the rest pinned by decorations in the shape of shells. Actual shells, too. Diluc had found some small enough and sturdy enough, in a solid color, to have crafted into hair accessories.]
[When Kaeya opens the door, the first thing he notices is his hair: Something about the ponytail, the decorations... it gives him a different air than usual, draws the eyes to his bright smile and his lovely gaze. It distracts Chuuya from his nervousness for just a moment, all his focus settling on Kaeya instead.
Though the pause between Kaeya's words and Chuuya's response is noticeable, because of it.]
Yeah. A lil bird told me roses were off limits, and those're cliche anyway. But I thought these flowers suited you.
[He hands the flowers to Kaeya, a giddy light in his eyes.]
[He chuckled quietly as he sniffed the flowers. Roses weren't exactly off-limits, but he definitely didn't care for them all that much. Kaeya then blushed slightly at the compliment, hiding his face behind the flowers for a moment.]
Thank you. I could say the same about you. In fact...
[He got his wits about him and lowered the flowers to lean forward. Yes, he was using his height to his advantage.]
