A date! After getting out of Granite Cave with a very successful spree of catching friends, Shinobu had accepted Kee's invitation of a date. Under the guise of doing research about financial programs to help visually impaired persons to do their finances. They decided to meet up later at the Pokemon Center. An easy place to meet up and go somewhere. At the motel, Kee had taken a shower, and dressed up a little bit at least. He wore blue, metallic shorts with bright yellow crocs, a white T-shirt with an orange stripe horizontal at chest high, and another light, slip on, Sunflora themed, short sleeved jacket/shirt thing. The only Pokemon he kept with him was his Houndoom.

In the short time between the separation and meeting, Kee also had time to do some research on restaurants. There were a few around, but only one served coconut-related foods and drinks. Best to avoid that one. Drawing up a map to the others, he'd ask Shin which one he preferred. Only...he completely missed the Pokemon Center. And was ten minutes late because he somehow got turned around. Only reason he wasn't later was because of his Houndoom, who often wondered why his trainer had such bad sense of direction. Running up to Shin, Kee apologized. "I'm sooooo sorry!! I missed a turn and completely got lost! R-ready to go?!" He was like an overly excited, but deeply apologetic puppy.

After splitting up from Keenan he would do a bit of shopping to get a change of clothes sense he planned on getting freshened up. And the thought of wearing the same clothes that he’d worn for the better part of a day after getting a shower made him cringe. So he would take a shower put on a change of clothes before meeting up with the other teen.
[break][break]
He would be the first to reach the Pokémon center even after spending longer than he had intended getting a shower and changing clothes. His current out fit was a white t-shirt of a pair of black jean shorts and to tie it together was a pale green short-sleeve jacket with a pair of black sandals. It was an outfit that would keep him from getting too hot.
[break][break]
Since he hadn’t been keeping up with the time he wouldn’t have realized that the other teen was late if he hadn’t said anything. ”Don’t worry about it, I’m just glad you got here okay,” he reassured the other male. Not wanting him to beat himself up over running a bit let.
[break][break]
”Yes I’m ready,” he told the other teen after the blond had asked him if he was ready to go. Curious about where they were going he would ask if had found a place for them to eat at.[break]

Thankfully, Shin didn't mind at all, just glad that Kee made it here okay. Looking over the guy's outfit...well, if had his ways to keep track of it, it's done him some good. Definitely not bad, Shin knew how to dress himself even when being blind. "Yep! I have a few places in mind. There's Grumpy's BBQ Pit, Magik Seafood, and Mimomalds. Dewford is a bit of a small town, so there's not much. But small towns also usually have the best food. There is another restauruant, but it serves coconut products, so I thought it best not to mention it. I'm up for whatever you're in the mood for."

Kee walked beside Shin, not wanting to get in the way. Plus, he thought it would be more respectful that way too. And maybe a little hopeful that Shin would latch onto his arm like being escorted around. That would be cute. If they went to one of the former two places, Kee would hold up two fingers for a table of two. And specifically ask if they had a menu for Braille. Or an equivalent. Thankfully, the host did, and specifically got one out. After being seated, Kee started to look at the menu. "You look nice, by the way..." The blonde said it kind of shyly. He knew Shin couldn't see him, so it might be a little strange. But then again, while Kee had gotten a little better, he was still perhaps a tad awkward.

ooc: Standard bbq joint, seafood joint but a little more expensive, and a Mcdonalds knockoff? I tried...

To his relief the other teen had already checked out some options for them to eat at. He considered all the options before coming to a decision. ”Grumpy's BBQ Pit sounds good. It’s sweet that you took into consideration what I couldn’t eat,” he said giving the older ten a warm smile. At least he wouldn’t have to worry about him forgetting about his coconut allergy. Which was a bit of a weird allergy to have. But couldn’t exactly help the fact he was allergic to it.
[break][break]
As they made their way to the restaurant he kept close to the other male. Worried what would happen if they got separated considering he didn’t know his way around Dewford like he did Lilycove. A few times he worried he was crowding the older teen and he would ask if he was as they made their way to the restaurant.
[break][break]
To his surprise and relief it was discovered upon reaching the restaurant that they had a braille menu. So he wouldn’t have to rely on the other teen to tell him what they had. He didn’t really like having to rely on others. Even if he knew it was unavoidable at times.
[break][break]
Hearing his compliment he couldn’t help but blush. ”Thanks, it’s actually a new outfit. Had a bit of help figuring out what color everything was,” he admitted as he looked down at the menu. There were a lot of things that looked good. Though he didn’t want anything too messy. So ribs were out.
[break][break]
”Have any idea what you’re getting?” he asked curiously before continuing. ”I was thinking of getting the pulled pork sandwich. It comes with fries and baked beans. I wonder if they’ll put the baked beans on the side if I ask I don’t like it when my food mixes,” he explained looking a bit embarrassed about that.[break]

[attr="class","oocnotes"] + it’s all good. Shin actually likes a lot of stuff I don’t. Not fond of barbecue or baked beans

It seemed that Kee already had a point in Shin's favor with the research. Though he had to wonder, if Shin had any bad dating experience where they didn't take that into consideration. "That's still really good to picture it in your head what you'll look like." Kee imagined it probably helped that Shin used to be able to see. Looking over the menu, Kee also didn't really want something that was too messy. It seemed like they had something in common when it came to food. "I agree. I bet they will. I might have the BBQ Mac and Cheese with pulled pork with a side salad." Once the waitress got their drinks and order in, a small silence followed.

"U-um, favorite color?" Kee took out his phone and started to look up financial programs for the visually impaired. He was still nervious since he'd never been on a date before, surprisingly. And didn't exactly know what to talk about. They did do a lot of talking at the cave, but they also should talk about other things, right? But what to talk about? Maybe they're other food related habits?

”I want to look presentable. Just because I can’t see anymore doesn’t mean I should slack in that department. I’ll never be the type to be follow fashion wasn’t before. But I at least tried to look like I knew how to look presentable,” he explained to the other teen. And considering he owned a business he had to be able to present himself a certain way. No one would support a boss that came off looking like a slob.
[break][break]
Hopefully Keenan was right. To his relief when he asked to have the baked beans put on the side the agreed to do. Now he wouldn’t have to worry about the juice from the baked beans making his bun soggy. Or making his fries soggy. Both of which he preferred to be dry.
[break][break]
Colors wasn’t something he had ever given much thought. It made him think to when he still could see. ”I remember really liking red. Remember liking the color of my hair,” he said at last his expression though. ”What about you?” he asked his expression now curious.
[break][break]
Taking about colors had made reminded him of something else. A question that had been on his mind. He was a bit uncomfortable asking but his need to know was starting to overpower his discomfort. ”Ummm…” he shifted uncomfortably before gathering even more courage to ask the question. ”Whatdoyoulooklike?” he rushed out probably speaking to quickly for the other teen to understand what he had just said.[break]

That was a goal for he would hope anyone. Just more difficult for those that can't see. And at that thought, he felt silly for asking about colors. Luckily not too silly, seeing as Shin told him that he liked red because of his hair color. "It is a lovely shade of red, and the way it's styled makes you look adorable, covering one of your eyes..." It made him want to play with it, honestly. Shin then asked him about his own favorite color. "I have a four way tie honestly. Red is one of them, but I also like blue, black, and white. Probably because any of those four colors can go with pretty much anything." Be it fashion, vehicles, houses, or Pokemon coloration, those colors can make anything look awesome.

Shin started to fidget a bit, like he was going to ask something uncomfortable, even starting with a long "ummm". Kee had to process a little bit about what the red head just asked. How to describe himself...and to do so without being awkward about it. Instead with words, he reached out to touch Shin's hand, lift it, and gently pull it towards his face. "I'm a blonde. Well, my brothers are too, along with my mom. My older one likes his styled in a long ponytail, where Ace likes his spiky. I like mine a bit more mundane if you can call it that. Just straight down with a cluster of long bangs down the middle. My eyes are amber colored, and I'm generally more described as your traditional bishounen twink character from ninety-percent of anime shows. But I wouldn't mind hugging you and letting you feel for yourself. I'd say we're about the same height, if there's any difference, it's not much." Kee would guide Shin's hand through his hair and face, watching the boy's expression carefully. Making a tentative look around, he saw their waitress smiling and gushing with another about them with the looks they were sending thier way.

Hearing his praise he couldn’t help but blush in embarrassment. He hadn’t ever heard of his hairstyle being seen that way. Of someone thinking his hairstyle was adorable. It seemed like the other male had an endless list of compliments for him. He wished he could say the same about him, but without knowing what he looked like that was hard.
[break][break]
”Thanks, my friend use to tease that it made me look emo,” he said with a small chuckle. Though he supposed back when that had been said it kind of had been. He had been down in the dumps. Though that had been not too long after he had lost his vision when he was still properly dealing with the death of his sister. Though he had gotten better about he just hadn’t seen the point of changing his hairstyle. And maybe if that was the way Keenan felt about it, then maybe he had made the right decision.
[break][break]
Talking about his looks caused him to have a burning need to know what the other teen looked like. Luckily he had understood his rapid fire question, since he wasn’t sure he would have the courage to repeat the question. He let the other teen guide his hand along his face and hair as he listened to what the other male had to say in regards to his own appearance.
[break][break]
While this was happening his sharper hearing picked up what their waitress was saying to another person. Well what she was gushing. This made his face heat up especially when he felt their eyes on them. ”Your hair is really soft,” he said once he had his hand back.
[break][break]
”And I wouldn’t mind hugging you to finish feeling how you look just…” he trailed off fighting the urge to not turn his head in the direction of their waitress, since it would indicate they were talking about her. ”Just maybe not in front of the gossip mongers,” he said making sure to pitch his voice low enough that only Keenan would hear.
[break][break]
Who knows what kind of things they would tell people. If people thought they were boyfriends that wouldn’t be bad. Except that that wasn’t a talk he had had with his family yet. That he was gay. Probably should tell them that before they heard people claiming he was gay.[break]

"Maybe if you were wearing darker clothes and a darker shade of hair. But I think you'd still look cute." Emo boys can look adorable too. And the way Shin was blushing as absolutely adorable. It was Keenan's turn to blush a little when Shin told him his hair was really soft. The red head was definitely open to the hug...away from prying eyes. Aw...who knew Shin was a little shy. Or maybe he wasn't out yet to his family. "Sounds like a plan. If you're ever uncomfortable, do let me know~" Kee smiled, even if Shin couldn't see it, maybe he could feel it? Whatever, he wasn't going to sweat it.

Luckily, food got there. His order was perfect, as was Shin's, right down to the separate dish for the baked beans. After checking to make sure everything looked fine, the waitress let Shin know where she had put everything, and the dish layout with a practiced eye. "Do you have experience with blind customers?" Kee was curious, since they were super accomodating. With a smile, the waitress said that they were all trained to be, since the owner was blind herself, having lost her eyesight due to cataracts. While treatable, the lady was apparantly stubborn and didn't get it treated until it was too late to do anything. Kee nodded and started to chow down...

To be honest he figured his friend kind of had a ride of call him an emo back than. He had taken to moping around after he lost his sister and his eyesight. He didn’t like to think he had been emo back then though. His heart had just been heavy with grief back then.
[break][break]
Still it was nice to hear that Keenan wouldn’t have minded if he was emo. He even went so far as to compliment him again. Which of course made his face heat up a bit. Compliments wasn’t something he was real use to. His parents had meant well but they had never been the type to give out compliments. His aunt and her family complimented him sometimes, and it still left him flustered.
[break][break]
”Thanks it’s good to know that you wouldn’t mind if I was emo,” he said once he had regained his composure. Considering he was blind he of course didn’t know the affect his own compliment had on the other teen.
[break][break]
Hearing what he had to say he nodded. ”Don’t worry I will,” he promised. He wasn’t the type to just allow himself to be uncomfortable. He had never been a pushover. And he wasn’t about to start. So if he was being made uncomfortable he would definitely tell Keenan.
[break][break]
The food arrived and to his relief both of their orders were correct. He was a bit surprised that she told him where everything was but thanked her before taking a bite of his baked beans. As the other male asked his question he waited for her response, unable to help being curious.
[break][break]
He waited until he had swallowed his bite of food as well. ”I wasn’t born blind either. It’s interesting that another blind person would be in the restaurant business. I own my own restaurant but my aunt deals with most of the paperwork while I deal with everything else. I’m a chef as well,” he told the waitress before returning his attention to Keenan.
[break][break]
”I like eating at other restaurants to show my support to fellow business owners in the same line of work as I am. Unless it’s for Pokémon battles I’m not real big on competition. I feel it would just be stressful as well,” he explained. He wasn’t sure if it was something the other teen was curious about but he wanted it that that he would never see another restaurant as competition.
[break][break]
Part of it was just because of the kind of person he was. He had always been a compassionate person and that it hard for him to be the competitive type about certain things.[break]

Kee made a giggly laugh at the comment about being emo. It was a fashion style to him. And let's be honest, the blonde could probably pull it off as well. Thankfully, Shin wouldn't be shy about being uncomfortable. Kee continued eating while Shin explained. The waitress was surprised, but said she'll say something to the owner. Stubborn as she was, the owner did evidently like to support businesses that hired or is ran by those with disabilities, no matter how bad or minor. After the waitress left, then Shin explained further. The guy just wasn't that much into competition, just did his thing and went on with life. And didn't mind supporting others in the same line of work. "I think you may find a surprising amount of people that think that way about the restaurant business. Yeah, you're technically in competition with each other, but who wants to eat at the same place every day?"

That said, Shin was competitive on Pokemon battles? "Do you plan on doing any gyms? I got two badges right now. Ace is up to three far as I know. Granted, Aaron is a lot more competitive than I am on that. I may have been good, but Ace is better. Before Houndour evolved, even with a type advantage, I could never beat his Trevenant. I think I managed once or twice, but that was it. We haven't had a rematch since we started on our adventures, but I wouldn't doubt that he just kept the gap large or widen it. He's quite the driven kid..." Perhaps a bit too driven. But you also can't argue that Aaron was strong too.

Though he couldn’t see the waitresses surprise he could hear it in her voice. It was only after the waitresses had left that he would further explain things to him. Not that he minded if the waitress knew. He just knew that she had a job to do and he didn’t want to keep her for too long.
[break][break]
Listening to what he had to say he nodded. ”True and sometimes after cooking all day for others I don’t have the energy to cook something for myself. So sometimes it’s just easier to go somewhere and eat,” he told the other teen. During those times it was other go out to eat or have his aunt cook him up something.
[break][break]
Of course there were times like this where he just wanted to support a restaurant. Though restaurants weren’t the only places he would support. There were times where he would be a sponsor to some event or someone else’s business. And he was even considering the possibility of catering to parties and other events that might require food to be catered.
[break][break]
”I have considered it,” he admitted before continuing. ”The only thing holding me back is finding a time when I can do it. Typically on my day off I use the day to restock on supplies. But I could always have someone else do that,” he said his expression thoughtful.
[break][break]
”Some people are more skilled when it comes to battling. I was pretty good and actually has six badges from the gym circuit back in Unova. But if I could find a way around my schedule I wouldn’t mind collecting badges in Hoenn.”[break]

Shin also brought up a good point. After work, sometimes, you just didn't want to cook. Perhaps more so after cooking for a bunch of random strangers. He could easily see how exhausting that could be. "Yep, I can see that." He said as he nodded, almost forgetting that Shin was blind. The blonde continued to eat while Shin answered his question. The red head had considered it, but just wasn't sure he had the time to do so. What shocked him a bit was the six badges from Unova. Although the ugly head of being a workaholic did show up.

"Sounds like being a little bit of a workaholic is stopping you a little. There's usually a waiting list, but once you get on it and a date set, with you being the owner, you can give yourself that day off and schedule someone else to do it. I'd love to see any of your gym battles. Actually, Ace is always up for a fight, too, if you want some practice against a ghost and steel type specialist, and really want to challenge yourself. I don't really have a type specialty. Just whatever looks cool or cute. Though I've been told I'm not too bad. I'd...also wouldn't mind seeing those badges either~" He even managed to complete a challenge with mostly little trained if at all Pokemon. His firepower rating was a B, but his adaptability and tactics were both rated as an A plus and above. He'd have to dig that report up again at some point. A little bit of jealousy over the badges was there...but also a good deal of admiration as well. Not the bad kind of jealousy, but the kind that made Kee want to do better or at least as good as his date.

Don’t get him wrong he loved cooking. But sometimes after cooking at day for strangers he was just wasn’t in the mood to do it for himself. ”Usually on days I don’t feel like cooking and I don’t feel like going out my aunt when bring something over that she cooked,” he told the other teen. He did enjoy his aunt’s cooking, so it was often something to look forwards to.
[break][break]
He awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck as he called it like it was. Shin knew that he had a tendency to be a workaholic. But to have it pointed out by someone not in his family was kind of embarrassing. It was something that often came up when he was talking to his aunt. And it was because of her that he even had the restaurant closed once a week. If it wasn’t for his aunt he would be working each and every day.
[break][break]
”I suppose I could do that. Would beat another lecture from my aunt about me working to hard. I’ll see about talking with the staff about having a bit more free time,” he promised, though someone would probably have to make sure he actually did that. He often forgot about stuff that could lead to him having more free time, due to his workaholic nature.
[break][break]
Now that that was cleared up he could get on with the whole badge thing. It was actually a little surprising that he would want to see his badges from Unova but he didn’t see a problem with it. ”I’m fine showing you, I’ll just have to unpack them from a box in the attic. I haven’t had much time to unpack everything since moving out of my aunts house a year ago,” he admitted.[break]

He seriously wanted to meet this aunt! Unfortunately, Kee wasn't much at home enough to be able to be lazy like that. Not that he would need to, his mom was the main cook of the house. And definitely made sure all of them were fed. Kee did find the rubbing bak of his neck thing adorable. Maybe no one pointed it out? Or it may also be becaue the blonde wasn't family and was pointing it out. "Talking about it is a first step. The trick is to keep going." That said, as with all things, one could take it too far, but Shin didn't seem like the type to do so. But also...would Shin even remember to do that?

The red head was fine showing him, just that they were in an attic. "A year ago? You really should dedicate a whole day or two to finish up. I'd even help!" Shin would likely feel the positive energy and the smile coming from the blonde as that was spoken. He may not always be selfless, but what was the harm in this? Plus...maybe he could get a new badge between then and now to bring his total up to three. With that proclamation, Kee continued to eat his meal, hoping to finish it before it got cold. Before long, the check delivered, and Kee snatched it. "My treat." He was too full for dessert, so he waited to see if Shin wanted any before letting their waitress have his credit card. Well, more like allowance card. But he had plenty on it. [yellow]"So, what do you want to do or go next?"[/color] And to get a hug from such a cutie.
