just for the two of us

"You aren't even gonna tell me where?" Spiderton chuckled, being led through from Beetletons sole paw. The lanterns flickered through the castle as Beetleton could only make a loud laugh.

"What's so funny?" Spiderton mumbled, a blindfold across his eye as Beetleton forced himself to stop. "This is our first date, you can't be laughing already!"

"I'm not bein' mean, bud!" Beetleton stopped for a moment, holding both of Spiderton's soft paws. "You just look.. a little goofy, with that on."

"It was your idea!" Spiderton scrambled out, but he couldn't help but start laughing alongside the dekaton. "Just show me where we're going, okay? You- you might make me laugh to death."

Beetleton did his best to wink, even if Spiderton couldn't see him smile wide as they continued to walk forward. "Oh c'mon, Kumo.. It's a part of my charm!"

"You act like you have hundreds of men gawking over you." Spiderton rolled his eye underneath the blindfold, with Beetleton chuckling back.

"Well, I got you under my arm.. Does that count?" He raised his eyebrow, and he could see Spiderton fluster up. "Got feelings already, huh?"

"Shush!" Spiderton hid his cheeks out of embarrassment, but he didn't mind or say much of Beetleton giving a peck on his cheek. His fur was all fluffed up from the sudden flirt.

"Okay, okay, I'll stop.." Beetleton looked to the side, and let go of Spiderton's paws. "We're here. You can put that goofy thing off now."

Spiderton didn't say another word, taking off the blindfold and seeing a table clearly meant for two. With another blink, he realized the view from it showed the entire zigoton empire, with the lights looking like the stars.

A nice umbrella was set up in the middle of the table, with silverware set in place. It was scratched up here and there, but it looked like Beetleton put the most effort he could. Even the seats looked like beanbags, something Spiderton always preferred to sit in.

"I know how much you really don't like bein' in actual restaurants' and all- too many 'tons, so I figured we could have our first date over here!" Beetleton exclaimed, but was a foot away from Spiderton. "We don't have to eat up here, though- I just wanted to make sure you were cozy."

Spiderton turned to look at Beetleton, an expression of worry on his face until Spiderton bounced to give him a kiss. It was only a peck, but now Beetletons fur rose up from how sudden it was; wishing it lasted longer.

"You're too nice to me." Spiderton giggled, running his paws over Beetletons fur. "Did you even get any food? Or is Gong gonna do the honors?"

"You know he can't cook, babe!" Beetleton squeezed Spidertons paws and laughed alongside his own comment. "But, uh, well.."

"Let me guess.. You forgot?"

"..I got a grill nearby."

"If you're planning to scramble me again, at least don't be subtle about it!" Kuwagattan mumbled, as all his eyes were covered by Kumotan's large claws as they both walked through the strange hellish lands.

"It's more special than that." Kumotan giggled, putting his claws on one of Kuwagattan's horns as it leaned into his touch. "And there won't be any sort of poison either, okay?"

"I'm immune to that, babe." Kuwagattan chuckled as Kumotan bapped one of his eyes in response. "Hey! You know I'm right!"

"We've already exchanged our kinds of poison, don't be so cocky." The tall akumatans voice sounded like a purr as they still continued, before eventually stopping. "..Here we are."

Before Kuwagattan could say a word, Kumotan took his claws off of his eyes to show the view. It wasn't so pretty, only a few scratched and patched up bean bags around a table with an umbrella. Despite looking like it could've come from a noble home, it had holes on the top.

It was so familiar, even the melting shake with two straws was in the middle.

"It took me a while to set this up," Kumotan lifted himself in front of Kuwagattans vision, fidgeting with one of the straws. "and I just wanted to do something nice for the both of us, really.."

And then Kuwagattan bolted to give Kumotan a deadly hug. "Nice for us? C'mon babe, this is amazing! It's just like our first date!"

"Thhat was on purpose.." Kumotan squeaked, before Kuwagattan pulled him in for a kiss. It only lasted for a few seconds before Kuwagattan pulled back, petting the sides of Kumotans fur.

"What a time that was, huh?" He mumbled, as Kumotan nodded in response. "Glad I'm not a general anymore."

"You act like it was only once." Kumotan could only roll his eyes up in an affectionate tone, as Kuwagattan lightly jabbed at his large claws.

"And you know what I mean there!"
