Minori sat at the bar of the Allure uncomfortably, adjusting the blue scarf around his neck. Hotaru had set him on a stupid blind date, some girl that knew the Kings or something. He didn't need a date, he didn't need a girlfriend, he just wanted to go home and be by himself for a while dammit! He'd have to get over it, he supposed, he only agreed because he was trying to be nicer to his twin like cousin. He just hoped this wouldn't end up as a disaster, he had enough going on in his head as it was.

Chika spun a spare drumstick in one hand as she glanced into the Allure. Tekka had set her up on a blind date with someone Jack's fiance was related to. She admittedly hadn't paid that much attention to her younger sis' rambling. The little blond had been unusually energetic about getting Chika on a date. Not that she needed motivation to get out, she was out on the town almost every night these days...
Still, she hadn't really dated anyone in a while. There had been a few boys in other towns, but the past few years had been a dry spell for her.
Grinning broadly, the redhead bounced into the allure and tucked her stick aside. No need to make the guy flip out, she just hoped he was fun and liked dancing, why else would they meet at a nightclub? Now all she had to do was locate the red haired guy that WASN'T the bartender. Pretty easy.
Chika bounded over and slid into the seat across from the only remaining redhead on the premises. "Minori?" She asked, eyes bright and smile beaming. The guy... was not what she had been expecting. He seemed standoffish and... dull, actually.
Damn she hoped first impressions were wrong with this guy...

Minori blinked, coming out of his thoughts and turned to a redheaded girl beside him. "Y-yeah, Chika, I'm guessing?" Of course she was. She seemed nice enough, his only concern was that he might not have been exactly what she was expecting. Girls never really saw him at dating material...
Still, he had to give it a go, so he smiled his best smile(the one thing about him that actually looked just like 'Suda's) as he held his hand out to her. "Nice to meet you."

Oooh... Dull the boy may be at first glance, but Chika had to admit the Ookami had a lovely smile. Well, that was good enough for her! She grabbed his hand an shook it firmly with a laugh. "Nice ta meetcha, Mini~!" She cheered out, her explosive red ponytail bouncing a little as her body bounced to the beat of the bass in the background. She couldn't help it, the place was just intoxicatingly rhythmic!
"Guess we should get to know each other a little bit first, huh?" As much as Chika would just love to spring right onto the dance floor and see what the boy could do, there was the little issue of this being a date... Though no one said they couldn't talk while dancing...
She took his hand and pulled him up. "And we can do that on the dance floor. Two birds with one stone, ya dig?" Her eyes sparkled mischievously in the pulsating lights.

Mini was quickly pulled to his feet, a bit surprised by her enthusiasm. "Sounds good to me." he agreed, hiding the hesitated tint in his voice rather well. It was then that he was INCREDIBLY thankful that Hotaru had taught him a thing of two about dancing specifically for tonight. It had seemed easy when she taught him, he'd like to think he was average when it came to dancing now that he actually had some practice in him.
The pair got on the dance floor and Minori took a moment to listen to the song. After quickly deciding that no, he wouldn't look like an idiot, he started moving to the beat. This really wasn't that hard after all, he was starting to believe fine art skills really did run in the family. "So, ladies first, tell me something about yourself."

Chika was glad that the other hadn't resisted. Perhaps he had just been a gentleman waiting for her to show up? He certainly could dance... Yes, Minori would do FINE. "Who, me?" she asked in mock surprise as she started to dance. Her dancing wasn't formal or refined, but it was easy to tell she was having fun. And she wasn't bad at it, so that was a plus. "Well, I'm a drummer. Freelance drummer as I like to call it." No band affiliation thus far, which sucked, but it did allow her to play wherever and whenever she felt like it. "Now your turn, big guy~" She sang over the beat as she twirled around him.

Minori blinked, lots of people around her were musically talented, maybe it was a good thing he was trying singing again. "Well, I sculpt." he told her, hopefully she wouldn't think that was too boring. "Wood, clay, the occasional ice, I do it all." he had also just started learning glassblowing about a week or so ago, but he'd wait to mention that for when he actually got good at it.
Actually, now that he thought about it, that might have been the reason Hotaru had told him to roll up the sleeves on his button up. Sculpting had given him pretty decent muscles in his arms, he just needed to work on the rest of his body, maybe then he wouldn't look like a freaking toothpick to everyone.

Chika grinned a little, noting the arms in her peripheral vision. Sculpting was good, sculpting was GREAT if it had given the guy muscles. Maybe Chika was a little bit shallow at first, but hey, if she was going to date someone they had to at least LOOK good. "An artist, then." She laughed. "I like, I LIKE."
The beat changed as the song ended and melded into the next, and Chika slipped a little closer. A few wayward strands of fiery hair that had slipped free of her ponytail were tossed out of her eyes as she gave her next tidbit. "I'm not Hatsu Itonami native," she decided on sharing, figuring it was all up to Minori if he wanted to know more. She didn't mind sharing.

Minori blushed a little at her response to his hobby, he guessed he was doing good so far(surprisingly). He noticed her getting somewhat closer, and couldn't help but laugh at her next words. "Me either, where you from then?" he asked curiously. Maybe this date wouldn't turn out so bad after all, Chika seemed fun, and it looked like she was interested in him... maybe there was hope for him yet.

Chika jerked her thumb behind her, although she didn't quite know which direction it actually was. "A smaller town up North, parents kicked it and I got bounced around until I wound up here and met the Kings..." She shrugged and spun around, feet moving easily to the beat of the music. "Then out of there, around some more," another spin, lean a little closer. "And right back in the city this year." She finished before pulling back a bit to give Minori some space.

Minori kept moving to the beat, though he nearly tripped in the short moment Chika had leaned closer. Thankfully she moved back, and the redheaded Ookami could relax again. He just wasn't use to this. "So you're quite the traveler, huh?" he joked.
Well, he guessed it was his turn to say something about himself. There wasn't much to say about him, though. He sighed, this might ruin the date, or make it more interesting, but he'd be honest. "I've never really been on a date before." he admitted, somewhat sheepishly as he kept dancing and trying to calm his nerves.

Chika blinked in surprise and actually missed half a step and had to try hard to get back on-beat. "Really?" She asked, wholeheartedly surprised. Guess he WAS a little on the shy side, but she had thought he was just being cautious on it being a 'blind date' and all... Then a second thought struck her.
Tekka had picked HER of all people to be someone's FIRST DATE!? What had the blond been THINKING? She was half tempted to halt the dancing, drag Minori back over to the table, and do things the way dates were often done by just talking and getting to know each other.
And then she shot that thought in the face with a bazooka because she was having too much fun dancing, and besides that, Minori wasn't complaining from what she could see. So all in all, this just meant she wouldn't be getting laid tonight, not NEVER AGAIN. Minori didn't seem bad, and she wouldn't mind hanging around him to find out more.
She put on another grin, perhaps even brighter than the ones before. "So I take it you've never been kissed before, either?" She would remedy this, given time.

Minori shook his head, feeling himself blush even more. Well, now he knew how 'Taru felt when she was constantly blushing over Jack, though he'd take a wild guess and say his cousin actually enjoyed it. He, however, hated it. "No, not really..."
This was ridiculous, he shouldn't have agreed to this! He was making an IDIOT out of himself! He shouldn't have to go through this torture! Minori stared to turn around. "Sorry, this probably wasn't what you were expecting." he told her, trying to hide just how irritated he was getting. Now he just needed to walk off and leave, and be a loser for the rest of his life....

Chika shrugged. "Not what I was expecting, but not a bad thing." She replied, eyes sparkling with mirth as her own hands grabbed his. "I'm not making fun of you, promise." She took her right hand off of his and held it up to signal her honesty in her vow.
Only to be bumped from behind and crash into his chest while she was still.

Mini paused when she took his hand and he turned back around. That was a relief, that was a HUGE relief, that meant he still had a chance. He was about to say something until Chika bumped into him, catching her out of reflex. "Are you okay?" he asked, not for sure on if he should let her go or what.
