A Quaint, Italian Date (Closed)

[Cypher]

He chuckled at her tone. He started singing Barry Manilow and Neil Diamond love songs choruses, loudly and off key. His hands still held her up, sort of, but there would be no doubt that if she fell forward, he would too.

[Shadowcat]

Kitty could only laugh as Doug sang, but as they moved through the restaurant, she threw her arms up, just in case anybody doubted who he was singing about. Near the door, she stumbled a little but didn't fall, which only made her laugh louder.

[Cypher]

"You, my beautiful gatita," he grinned, poking his index finger into her chest, "are drunk." He grinned wider and tried to stifle a snort.

[Shadowcat]

"Ow." Kitty said as she was poked, then poked back, "I think you're drunk."

[Cypher]

He held up his hands, smirking. "I'm not denying it," he chuckled. They were outside now, the streets crowded with passerby. Doug flailed his arm, trying to hail a cab.

[Shadowcat]

Kitty pulled on her coat clumsily, putting her shoes down on the sidewalk and blocking any foot traffic. She watched Doug try to hail a cab and pushed him aside. "Let me show you how it's done, kid." She said, then stepped off the curb and bent one knee, hitching up her skirt to an almost obscene level. A cab screeched to a halt in front of them.

[Cypher]

Doug's eyes widened and his jaw dropped. His fuzzy brain told him, Yeah, I guess that is how you do it. He laughed and followed Kitty into the cab.

[Shadowcat]

Kitty scooped up her shoes and crawled into the cab, pulling at Doug's sleeve with her free hand.

[Cypher]

When she tugged on his sleeve, Doug tripped over his feet and stumbled, laughing, into the back of the cab. The driver, his brow lifted, looked over his shoulder. "Where to?" he asked.

"Westchester," Doug replied, struggling to get off the floorboards of the cab. He was still laughing. "Xavier's institute."

[Shadowcat]

Kitty was still tugging on Doug, trying to get him close to her on the seat. "C'mon, Dougie!" She whined.

[Cypher]

Doug struggled up and snuggled into Kitty, sniffing her neck. "Mm," he murmured. The cab driver just rolled his eyes and drove his cab.

[Shadowcat]

Kitty wrapped her arms around Doug's neck and stretched her legs across his lap. "This is the best date ever." She whispered to him.

[Cypher]

His eyes closed and he smiled. "Yeah," he murmured in agreement. "I know."

[Shadowcat]

Kitty leaned back and tried to pull Doug with her.

[Cypher]

Doug just wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer, nuzzling her behind the ear. "Mine," he muttered, his eyes closed.
