(This story takes place after GSPI, Dave was rescued by the government and Dave and Rupert had very recently started dating).
Dave nervously aproached Rupert, who was leaning against one of the broken walls in the government military base. Dave repeated what he wanted to say silently in his mind, ever since they had started dating he had found himself twice as nervous around Rupert and he was worried that the words would get stuck in his throat as soon as he saw him.
When he finally got to Rupert's location he took a deep breath, "You can do this Dave, just go ahead and say it." the guy encouraged himself before speaking.
"H- hey Rupert?" Aand he stuttered, what a great start...
"What is it Dave?" Rupert responded casually, not paying any mind to Dave's stuttering. Seeing how relaxed Rupert seemed at his stuttering almost distracted Dave from what he originally wanted to say, but he managed to focus.
"W- well, since we started d- dating and all of this I just thought that we should... Uhm, y'know... Go out... In a date..? O- only if you want to though, obviouslyIdon'twanttoforceyou-" Dave was suddenly interrupted by the sound of Rupert's chuckles.
"Dave why would I ever reject a chance at spending time with you?" Rupert asked but didn't let Dave reply before answering Dave's original question. "Sure, let's go on a date, did you have a place in mind?"
It took Dave a solid minute to process what just happened, whatever self-deprecating thoughts he had were immediately replaced by his love for the man in front of him, his boyfriend, it was only once he felt his cheeks redden that he remembered to answer.
"O- oh, well, uhm, d- do you have a place in mind?" Dave responded as he realized he hadn't actually thought that far.
Rupert chuckled and shook his head, already expecting such an answer from Dave.
"How about I make it a surprise for you?" He suggested, Dave was nervous about the idea of it being a surprise but nodded anyways, he knew and trusted Rupert well enough to know that the surprise would be pleasant.
"Great! Then I'll pick you up this Saturday, sounds good?" Rupert responded to Dave's nodding.
"Y- yeah!" Dave blurted out, his mind still in a confused state.
[That Saturday]
Dave paced around nervously as he waited for Rupert to arrive, and while he doubted that Rupert would choose a fancy place (Mainly because both of them knew how Dave's social anxiety and clumsiness could be in a place like that), but not knowing what to expect he simply ended up wearing a semi-formal outfit just in case.
Dave was already gping through his seventh potential scenario when he heard Rupert knocking on the door, his surprise and excitement making him rush towards the door almost falling twice on his way there, Rupert had to suppress a chuckle when Dave opened the door in a hurry.
"Damn I don't think I've seen you this nervous since back when you first joined the police force!" Rupert joked trying to get Dave to relax, Dave laughed nervously at the joke while he stepped outside his house, Rupert noticed his anxiousness and took his hand to comfort him silently as he guided him to the place of their date, and while Rupert would never admit it, Dave could tell he was also nervous by the way he avoided his gaze which actually rather comforted him because it meant that Rupert really did care and wanted him, something that a year earlier he would've thought to be impossible.
Dave only noticed that they had finally arrived to the place when Rupert pulled his arm, the place wasn't all that far from Dave's house and he soon recognized it as the same café that he had once told Rupert he wanted to go to.
Dave smiled as they sat on a table with a view to the outside.
"You remembered when I told you about this place..!" Dave said as he looked at the inside in awe.
"Of course, why wouldn't I?" Rupert responded, never taking his eyes off of Dave even as their food arrived...
