Coffee Shop of Bad Ideas. [rp with leavemea_lone]

This is probably a bad idea, May thinks to herself as she paces around the alleyway of a secluded Convenient Nexus Coffee Shop. She'd picked out the places  for potential Nexus dates ages ago. It was harder than you would think to find a good, safe spot to java-and-chat with a roomy alleyway for quick costume changes.

Not that this was a date, oh

Isamu liked to be fashionably late, because then the person waiting would be extra happy to see him! This sort of logic... Well, Isamu did claim to be 'special'.

He recognized the coffee place from ages ago, when they went on their first not-a-date date. He couldn't remember anything they talked about, but he did remember looking at May's hands a lot while she fiddled with her drink, and that she was upset about something.

Hopefully, this one would put her in a better mood.

He waved (sort of ridiculously) when he saw her. "Heeey!"

May had forgotten this was where they had their first not-a-date. But she had plenty of time to think about it while WAITING. Too bad she couldn't really remember anything they talked about, either, except that Isamu was a little less of a jerk than she'd expected. (Thanks for the misinformation, Nexus Grapevine.)

When she does see him, May will wave (undeniably ridiculously) back. Nerves - especially those brought on by your not-a-date being late - turn people into dorks.

"You're late!" May shouts and pouts (hard enough to see it through the mask!). "That means you owe me a mocha espresso with cinnamon when we're done." Unless Isamu forgot cash.

Ha ha, cute. She looks a bit nervous, like she's never gone out with a guy she barely knows. They really need to hang out more, he thinks, walking up to her quickly.

"I'm always late, it makes you anticipate me more." Isamu doesn't bother sitting down, but poses with his hand on his hip next to her. "Mocha espresso with cinnamon. You wanna get that now? 'Cause when we're done, you might need a cold shower."

She is rather sheltered from the world of ill-advised, I did-I-even-catch-his-name hookups, this is true! And boy, does it show. Underneath the sarcasm.

"I don't know, I'm starting to have some second thoughts. The last guy who was this sure of himself turned out to be an awful kisser. It was tragic, all that expectation, so unmet. It'd be so sad if that happened twice." Today, Isamu, all your smirking needs will be attended to by May Parker. "But yeah, I guess I could get it now. Sure you don't want something?"
