this was a mistake

oooooh this is so cute!

if we're talking when they've finally settled down and are happily living together..

Mat's ideal date is going out to the theater and sitting away from the crowd, watching whatever performance that's being put on, but not shying away from leaning against Emil's shoulder and maybe stealing a few kisses (or more than a few) when no one's looking. That or go to a hot spring/sauna with Emil and just relax... (Emil is heat intolerant though so lol)

Mat enjoys solitude (with Emil) so he'll even enjoy things like sleeping out under the stars, making a meal together and staying in.. hehe

Emil would looove to do something fun and more involved like going out to events in towns like fairs and festivals. he had been avoiding public spaces ever since he was wanted, so it's nice for him to go out and do all these things he wanted to do with Mat :-) things like apple-picking, strolling along beaches, holding hands in public.

Emil's social battery does tend to drain though as he's not used to being around so many people without having to hide, so you can also bet some of his "dream dates" line up pretty well with Mat's ideals of just relaxing together lol.

Buuuut...

if we're talking normal post-timeskip... Emil's too busy daydreaming about just being close to Mat, let alone going on a date with Mat in his state!
