“Oh, no!” exclaimed Red, who knew exactly what it meant when Green got a competitive look like that in his eye.

Two weeks later, Red returned from his job at Oak Research Labs to find Green waiting for him, dressed incongruously in a sharply pressed, pale gray suit with a green bowtie. Red didn’t know whether to laugh or blush, and ended up doing both when Green announced, “Get dressed. You may not have anything as fabulous as this, but some dress pants and a button-down shirt’ll do fine for where we’re going.”

“Where are we going?”

“You’ll see.”

Green’s Pidgeot flew them to Vermilion City, where a small ship had docked for the evening, offering a “dinner cruise” to Kanto’s upper crust. Red found it hard to keep from giggling at the discovery that his boyfriend had booked them an intimate table for two, complete with candelit ambiance and a live pianist and menus written in fancy script.

The funny thing was, Green didn’t seem to be out of his element at all. Actually, he appeared to be having a blast playing the role of a confident, elegant gentleman.

When Red asked, Green replied, “You get used to fine dining when you live in Kalos for any length of time, especially in Lumiose City. So maybe I’m a little more adept at ‘real dates’ than you thought, huh, pal?” And he winked in a way that made Red giggle and blush all over again.
