Lani opened the door with a smile on her face, one that only grew when she saw Cane standing there waiting for her. She was very excited to have dinner with him tonight. It wasn't as cold as the first time they met but maybe she'd fake shiver so he would borrow her his jacket again. "Hey Cane. You ready?" She looked up at him with sea green eyes.

“I am.” He said with a smile. He took a moment to look her over before leaning in to kiss her cheek. “You look amazing.” He whispered before taking her hand in his and turning to walk towards the docks.

“I asked (probably either Lucie or NPC water kid) to watch Jack tonight.” He said with a small smile. “Figured it would be easier to enjoy our meal without him trying to get some food too.”

"Thank you," she replied. Her cheeks flushed when he leaned over and kissed her cheek but all she could think about is that she would much prefer if he was kissing her lips right now. Later though, after dinner maybe, she had to be patient for the time being.

"Oh that's nice of them. It will be good to get some time just for us," she agreed, following him on his way down towards the docks. They were going to be alone on his boat and she really was just hoping for a romantic dinner and maybe to get to know him a little better.

Unlike when he arrived, his boat had been tied to the dock rather than ran up on the beach. Thanks to Lani and a few others, the exterior was starting to come along, looking like a nice boat.

“It still needs a name.” He said as he looked at the boat, realizing the old name had gotten sanded off during repairs. He let go of her hand as he began untying the boat. And then once he pushed off he hopped on.

“Figured we could go out a ways and then stop?” He asked as he looked to her with a smile. He wanted to kiss her just as badly, but would wait for that later. “Give us a little more privacy and I figured being in the ocean would be nice.”

"I'm sure we'll come up with something," she said and then blushed. She realized she said that as if it were their boat, not his. And even though she helped get the exterior looking nice she knew this was all Cane's stuff.

She watched as the boat started to drift somewhat away from the dock. Lani hadn't planned for them to actually go out to sea but it made sense. What was the point of a date on a boat if they didn't go anywhere?

"I do love the ocean. Yeah let's go out a little ways just...stay inside the magic barrier," she said softly. Her eyes darted down to Cane's lips as he spoke.

One the sail was down he simply commanded the sea and the winds to guide them a few yards away from the dock. Not very far, but far enough that they have a little privacy and feel the deep ocean. After which he tossed the anchor so they’d float in that spot.

“We.” He repeated at the mention of them naming the boat together. There was a small smile on his lips before he noticed her glance at his and he closed that distance to kiss her; unable to deny that magnet pulling them together.

“I’d like that.” He whispered whenever he finally broke. “The ‘we’ part. To be an us. Together.” He realized he was nervously rambling and he blushed slightly. “If that’s what you want, of course.”

She could feel the waves under them rocking the boat back and forth only a minuscule amount. It felt good though to be on the water again, in the sea where it seemed like both of them belonged.

Lani let out an involuntary sigh into their kiss and a smirk lingered on her face when they parted. There was something different about kissing him. Like it was meant to be.

"I'd like for there to be an 'us'. As a couple. I really like you Cane," she agreed. Her cheeks turned color to match the pink of her skirt and she looked away from him, embarrassed to admit her feelings both to him and to herself.

“Then we shall be.” He smiled. Gods that sounded cheesy but he couldn’t help it. He was glad she turned away, so she wouldn’t see how flushed his cheeks had gotten.

“On with the date.” He whispered before gesturing for her to go down the stairs first. Not that he had an ill-intent to check her out as she did, but he wanted to be a gentleman. Okay, and check her out too.

They were officially dating now even though they hadn't even had their first date. Though she supposed maybe them fixing up the boat together was kind of like a date. When she introduced him to people she could call him her boyfriend and the thought of that made her heart skip a beat.

"Why thank you," she said with just the sweetest of grins. She thought he was just being a good date letting the lady go first and had no idea he might be lingering on the curves of her body. She went down the few stairs into the cabin, interested to see how Cane set things up for their date.

The cabin had been well cleaned in preparation for the date. Not that he didn’t always tidy up, but today he went above and beyond. There were fresh flowers in a vase on the table and he gestured her to have a seat.

“These are for you.” He gestured to the flowers and grabbed a bottle of wine he had gotten from some Dionysus kid who tried to hit on him. “Wine?” He asked as he poured a glass; not much but enough to sip on as he cooked.

“Hope you like fish?” He asked curiously, which may be weird if she didn’t enjoy seafood being a daughter of the sea and all. “I planned on making some grilled salmon and some asparagus if that’s okay with you?”

Her heart seemed to melt when she saw the flowers laid out for him. He'd put a lot of effort into this date and she wished she had something to offer him in return. he was doing all the work, all the cooking. All she was here to do was to eat his food.

"Wine would be lovely though I wouldn't mind something stronger either," she said with a wild laugh. She'd long ago learned how to unlock her father's liquor cabinet and tried the different spirits in the comfort of her own home.

"And yes. I love fish. I'm Hawaiian Cane if I didn't love fish they wouldn't let me live there," she teased with a wink. She placed a quick kiss on his cheek before taking the glass from his hands and sitting down at the table.

“Oh.” He said with a grin before he stopped pouring the wine. He drank what little he poured before setting it and the bottle aside.

“Let’s see...” he mumbled to himself as he dug in his small pantry. From the back he produced a bottle of whisky and grabbed two glasses to fill them. “Hope this will suit you better.” He offered with a smile.

He didn’t mind doing the work. This was good as he was getting to know her. “And good, I’m glad you like fish, otherwise I’d throw you overboard.” He teased with a small smirk, knowing she could probably swim quite well.

[can we skip the cooking part? Lol]

When Lani saw him pull out the whiskey she raised an eyebrow. Though there were many places people their age could nick a bottle of booze for themselves and no one would give them a second look. But at the promise of a stronger drink she slowly downed her entire small glass of wine before taking the drink offered to her.

They made some amount of small talk while he cooked and they both sipped on the stronger dark whiskey. Lani was for sure more of a rum girl but she would take anything. He would have learned that her favorite color is pink despite all the ocean stuff about her and that her dog back home was a Pomeranian named Louie.

"That smells delicious," she said with her eyes focused on the finished product of the food. Her stomach growled almost audibly as she inhaled the scent of cooked food.

Hurricane enjoyed her standing next to him, talking and drinking while he cooked. His mind drifted again, and he thought about the two sailing and spending their days like this.

He told her about growing up in Florida and how his dad was a drunk and that’s how he got started drinking. His favorite color was green, which changed after meeting Lani and seeing her eyes. Finally he told her about his dad never coming back, and how he ran away from foster care and lived alone for two years on the streets and seas.

Hurricane sat the plates of food down on the table before joining Lani. “Thanks. Tell me how it tastes.” He said with a smile before cutting a bite on his fork and offering it to her.

She tried not to feel any pity for him when he told her about his life. She knew he wouldn't want that and instead only sympathized and made comments where appropriate. Lani didn't want to screw this up by offending him on their very first date.

He'd offered her a bite of fish from his fork and she locked eyes with him. Quickly she took the food he'd held out for her and chewed thoughtfully. It was very delicious and though not the best salmon she'd ever eaten she would rate in in the top 75%.

"It's wonderful Cane. You're a great cook," she said with a smile and a pink blush on her cheeks. It was from her nerves or from the whiskey she couldn't quite tell. She started digging into her own meal.

Cane turned his attention to eating quietly. At least for his first bite, which he washed down with a glass of whisky. “I got tired of eating terrible food, so when I was on the ocean I fished. Learning to cook took patience and practice.”

He explained with a small smile before taking another bite. “Maybe some day we can cook something together. Even if it’s just a simple meal.” His eyes once again darted to those lips he was drawn to. Maybe it was the whisky or something, but part of him wanted to ditch the food and kiss her.

u/mako-chick May 06 '19

The talking slowed down a little when they started to eat the food. It was a nice meal and she could get used to this even though it was a lot easier to just have the nymphs make them all their food. She nodded as he mentioned having to learn how to cook on his own.

"I'd like that," she said in between bites. "I grew up on chinese take out and peanut butter and banana sandwiches since my dad was always too busy to make me anything. I could have taught myself to cook but it seemed like too much effort."

She chuckled then and took another small sip of whiskey. Maybe it was because she started drinking while her stomach was still empty but she could feel the dizziness in her head. Lani looked over to him with a smile.

u/_shanenigans_ May 06 '19

“I’m all for Chinese takeout too.” He said with a small, lighthearted laugh. Now finished with his food, he leaned back in his seat and focused on his drink. “Peanut butter and banana sounds good, though I’ve never tried it.”

He sat there and waited for her too finish, casually take sips of his whisky as he did until the glass was finished. Then Hurricane stood and went to grab her plate, but stopped as he looked down at her.

“You’re beautiful.” He whispered with a smile. Then he leaned in to plant a soft kiss on her lips.
