alright but here’s a concept:
- inej dates both kaz and nina while nina dates both inej and matthias
- they have alternate date nights, usually
- so sometimes kaz and inej go out or nina and matthias do
- sometimes nina and inej do, it just depends on the night
- but once, just once, the most beautiful mix-up happens
- because they all show up to the same restaurant
- kaz and inej. nina and matthias.
- (jesper and wylan, but through some small mercy their reservation was half an hour earlier, so they get to watch the whole thing from across the restaurant while hiding behind their menus)
- they’re waiting in line to be seated and it’s the most excruciating ten minutes kaz and matthias have ever experienced
- nina and inej are completely fine, of course
- chatting and flirting and generally enjoying themselves
- their boyfriends are left to glare and make the world’s most awkward small talk
- kaz: i didn’t know you were coming here
- matthias: yes. i… like the olives?
- kaz: yes.
- they start coordinating everything after this, just to make sure this never happens again. inej and nina are laughing at them but kaz and matthias are not here for this, nope, no way
- kuwei knew this was happening. he fucking knew. but telling them would ruin all the fun
- jesper, live-texting the whole thing: we’re out for dinner and you won’t BELIEVE who just walked in
- kuwei: can’t imagine, tell me everything
- he’s sitting at home keeping up w/ the drama from a safe distance
worst or best date night ever??? well, that really depends on who you ask
