For Meg

Once Danny had brought it up, he couldn't stop thinking about it. The idea of making her a proper dinner. Not so much to prove that he could cook just to...do something nice for her. Different. And maybe if he happened to broach the topic of being a little bit in love with her, well, that'd be an added bonus

It was weird, but I was there anyways. I was wearing clean clothes, which I felt was important somehow, especially since they were not only clean, but they looked kind of nice.

I will never own up to the fact that willing chose a dress. No, I was forced. It was all that the box would give me. Honestly. Just like the fact that I'm oddly fluttery for no reason, because we're just friends and this is just food, so there is no reason to be nervous is something that doesn't exist. I take a deep breath, cracking my knuckles and tucking my hair behind my ears, before speed walking the rest of the way.

"Hi," I greet, smiling. See? Not weird.

Calvin had a button-down shirt on, his nice white one that had come from home. He had a tie tucked into the back pocket of his pants, but decided at the last minute not to put it on because he figured he looked like a goof.

His heart skipped when he saw her, though he ducked his head to hide his grin. He set the forks and spoons down, then got to his feet for no good reason.

"Hey. I like the dress."

Durn. Noticed. Totally called out on the dress thing. Okay, so it's not like he notices it was an intentional dress. I can still cover. Totally.

"Thanks. It's all the dang box would give me." I tug awkwardly on the edges, before gesturing to what he's set up.

"This looks nice. Outdone yourself O'Keefe, I see."

"Yeah? Well, I mean, it could be worse, I guess. It's a nice-looking dress, anyway." Calvin was pretty sure he wouldn't be able to tell a good dress from a bad one, not by a long shot. She sure did look nice though.

He turned to look at the spread on the ground and smiled some. "You say that now, you haven't tried any of it yet."

It was weird, them like this. Awkward because it wasn't quite a date, but at the same time it was just them. And they were good together.
