[OTA + Gansey]
OTA;
Most of Blue's days since the power's returned has been lived in routine. She wakes up every morning in her room in Monmouth both happy and sad. Though the paper trees and flowers that have slowly started to creep up her wall like kudzu make it feel a little more like home, she knows these aren't the same four walls that she's spent the past sixteen years of her life iwthin. They're different walls in an entirely different world that takes everything a step further from the ley lines and Cabeswater. She's by far the furthest that she's ever been from home and she doesn't know if she'll ever make it back.
But she's in Monmouth and she's not alone and if she's ever had a question that magic exists in the world, living in Itinere confirms it. So rather than feel sorry for herself, she pushes on and leaves the bed to get on with the day. With a regular afternoon shift at the bistro, she always makes certain to get there by ten in the morning to beat the brunch crowd. It's a little strange only to work one job but at the same time, she likes the freedom it brings her to explore Itinere. She can be found poking her head into various stores or spending time along the shore, still amazed by the vastness of the ocean. It reminds her a lot of the stars she loves so very much.
Gansey;
She had been both surprised and extremely flattered when Gansey had asked her out. Despite everything she's ever known most of her life saying it's a bad idea, she had agreed. He's a boy and boys are supposed to be nothing in trouble, raven boys at the top of that list. For all they know, he might be her true love and if Blue were to ever kiss him, he'd die. He'll die anyway; that promise made on the corpse road speaks to that. But Adam's moved on to Ronan and she can't peossibly spend her whole life avoiding dates with boys she might be attracted to. Her curse hadn't stopped her from going on a date with Adam.
But Adam Parish wasn't Gansey.
Blue waits outside the doors of Monmouth at the agreed upon time, having come home long enough to shower and change into a clean outfit, complete with just enough makeup to accent her features. Gansey hadn't said where they'd be going and she hopes it's not someplace too fancy. She's not certain even her nicest dress would fit in at the sort of restaurants Richard Gansey the Third must find appropriate for dates.

Gansey is unaware that his days are numbered and he hopes that this is the first of many dates as well. That, he thinks, will be up to Blue and because of that, he wants desperately for this date to go well. His anxiety is full blown right now, but he's an old hand at hiding anxiety. He takes a mint leaf from his pocket and puts it on his tongue.
He shrugs a bit at her comment. "I didn't want you to get bored," he tells her as he pulls a silk tie out of his pocket. "In part, which is why I'd like to blindfold you," he tells her, holding up the tie. It's red with tiny fleur de lis on it in navy blue. "Shall I tie it on for you?"
no subject
The mint leaf causes her to grin, a smile meant mostly for herself rather than him. He is so very Gansey in all respects. Even asking permission where other guys probably wouldn't even bother.
"I'm not bored," she assures him. Truth is, she finds it hard to be bored around Gansey. Or any of them. "And I trust you." Blue turns her back to him. Though she does her best to act calm, her heart's beating a thousand miles a minute within her chest. She does trust Gansey but with a blindfold, she really is putting control in his hands. "You can tie it."
no subject
He asks permission because it's important that she want this and him as much as he does. It's important that she's as deep in this as he is.
He watches her a moment, the line of her neck and the curve of her shoulders. After that moment, he steps forward to put the tie around her eyes, tying it securely but gently around her head. He then slides his hands down her arms before stepping to her side and lacing their fingers together. He picks up the picnic basket out of the trunk of the Pig. "Alright. We're going to walk a few feet to a curb. I'll let you know when to step." He might overdirect, but he won't let her fall.
