Tegan || Seven of Clubs || House of Cards

[graceandwit]

1,7. Are you ready for this. I don't think you are. Also this has to be in the past.

[piquedbutler]

[Hello, being fifteen. Hello, being expected to be sociable.

Hello, Tegan. You are the only girl Chives knows whom he doesn't intend to crush under his thumb in the near future when he takes a high enough number--that is, when the current butler is properly disposed of.

So hello, single artificial rose being thrust out awkwardly. This is how you ask a girl to get dinner with you so you look like a normal human being, right? Right.]

I don't think I'll ever be ready for this. But that's fine. It'll be glorious anyway.

[graceandwit]

[Hello, slightly perplexed expression as she takes the rose.]

Um...thank you?

It's probably better this way. I don't know how to make 'Chives' and 'sweet' in the same brain.

[piquedbutler]

It isn't a present.

[His tone is the same even thing it always is, barely any inflection. Inflection is for actual annoyances. This is simply a point of clarification as he reaches over to very minutely adjust her sleeve into proper alignment.]

It's a request. I have come to understand that you are currently unattached?

All I can say is yay for dysfunctional childhoods and their allowing for this sort of thing.

[graceandwit]

[To her credit she doesn't do more than nod.

No, there isn't anyone at the moment. Between lessons and training and whatever other things the higher numbers choose to foist on her, there really isn't much time for that sort of thing. This still doesn't explain why he's going about giving people roses.]

[piquedbutler]

[Not people. Person. Her. Give him credit.]

Then you'll accompany me to dinner tonight.

[graceandwit]

[She might be the tiniest bit shocked, is all. Because this is Chives and he is apparently asking her to dinner.]

Here?

[piquedbutler]

...is that not acceptable?

[Such a tilt of his head. And sideways glance at the rose. What part of this Asking A Girl Out had he gotten wrong?]

[graceandwit]

Oh, no. Not at all.

I'll just have to tell my mother I'll be having dinner here. She'll worry, otherwise. [Though how she'll feel about this is anyone's guess.]

[piquedbutler]

...good.

[He's supposed to say something else.]

...thank you.

[His fingers lift faintly. He's probably meant to take her hand, kiss her cheek.

It's not that he thinks she has more germs than other people so much as all people are problematic.]

[graceandwit]

[This is easily one of the most peculiar situations she's ever been in.

Still, have the quickest, chastest kiss in the history of ever Chives. Because this is what people do in these situations, right?]

Thank you for the rose, Declán.

[piquedbutler]

[...hurk.

It takes a second to overcome the stun of physical closeness, no matter how fleeting. There's the faintest awkward uncertainty to the tilt of his head.]

...of course, Tegan.

[...Miss. Miss Tegan.

It'll be back in place before dinner.]

[graceandwit]

[She isn't blushing, really she isn't. Except that she quite possibly might have agreed to go on a date - a date with Chives.

Somehow she doubts that will ever make sense.]

I'll see you later, then.

[piquedbutler]

[It will probably be an awkward dinner. There will probably be awkward, gloved hand-holding.

It will probably not be an experiment in How People Actually Behave on Dates.

But it might not be the most horrible thing in the world.]

[graceandwit]

[They're fifteen. They don't actually know how people are meant to behave on dates - she has her brother, of course, but Rhys was hardly the sort of example one wanted to follow with this sort of thing.

She'd already pushed it with that kiss, she can tell.]

[piquedbutler]

[Hopefully people are meant to have first dates in the kitchens of their castle, while one half fidgets slightly with keeping the silverware in a straight line. Because that's the plan.

And hopefully they're meant to Never Speak Again of things like first kisses.

Because he's certainly never going to say anything about it ever again.

She'll get a faint hand-squeeze when she's walked home, and she'll like it.]
