Valentine's Day: Fishing for Love (Yukiko x Dante) [Fin]

Post by Dante on Feb 10, 2018 6:39:42 GMT
Love is in the air. The birds are chirping, and the smell of freshly made coffee fills the house. Dante is in the bathroom getting ready for a blind date. His sister Judith is in the living room drinking coffee, while Wormmon is flipping through TV channels, bored out of his dirty little mind. Dante looks in the mirror, brushing his red hair trying to make it look just right. He is wearing a nice red and black flannel shirt, dark blue jeans and a black leather jacket. Dante peaks his head out to see if the coast is clear, then nonchalantly heads to the kitchen to grab his keys.
Judith notices Dante is getting ready to leave. "Hey brother. Where are you heading off to?" "Oh, just heading into town for a while. Going to hang out with a friend."
Dante doesn't want his sister or Wormmon to know about his date.
"Neat! Can I come?" "You never hang out with your friends anymore. Which one?" "Rob. We're going to the arcade. You're not missing much, Wormmon."
Judith doesn't buy Dante's story. She walks up to Dante and examines him.
"Hmm, slicked back hair, nice jeans, wait a minute..."
Judith leans in and takes a sniff.
"Your breath doesn't smell bad! Something's up." "Listen, uh, I'd love to stay and chat, but I really need to be going now. Ta-ta!"
Dante frantically rushes out the door and gets in his car.
"Interesting. Could it be..." "I can't believe Dante wouldn't let me go! Hey Judith, wanna play Bone Crusher Snowboarding 2k18?" "Maybe. Dante was acting weird. I wonder what he's up to."
Dante drives over to Akihabara. He's arranged to meet up with his blind date at a record store. He doesn't know much about his date, but he has seen a picture, so he should be able to recognize her. Dante reaches the record store, parks his car and heads inside. He casually walks down an isle of records, looking around. Unfortunately for Dante, his taste in music was out of touch, and he probably wouldn't enjoy most of the newer records. Dante notices a tall girl with dark hair that matches the picture. He pauses for a moment to build up the courage to approach her. What is he going to say? Does his hair look alright? What does she want to do? So many questions echoed in Dante's mind, but he manages to keep calm under the pressure. Dante approaches the young woman and introduces himself.
"Excuse me, are you Yukiko? My name is Dante."

It had been Mizu's idea. Feeling that her Tamer needed some adventure in her life to get some confidence, she had secretly arranged a blind date for her through her computer. The girl had been immensely embarrassed and upset, but felt that she could not disappoint the poor guy that Mizu had managed to attract. How a frog-like digital lifeform knew how to appeal to and attract a human guy, Yukiko was still wondering about.
"Oh, sweetheart, you look amazing! You should've worn this more often!" Yukiko stood before her mirror, her face flushed red in embarrassment. Mizu had taken it upon herself to ready her tamer for her date. She had invited Ayumi over for this, but the girl seemed mysteriously angry when she mentioned it would be between Yukiko and a guy, so she left her at home. The frog had dug through Yukiko's wardrobe and found an old summer dress that her mother had bought for her once. After much persuasion and prodding Yukiko actually put it on. A sleeveless halter-dress, a deep red, showing off her toned arms more than she liked it. The Betamon found fitting shoes and a nice white sunhat for her to wear alongside it. Yukiko's hair had been combed by her and hung low down to her shoulders. She even managed to put make up on her Tamer's face despite her lack of arms. The result was...well, Yukiko hated to admit it, but she looked better than ever before. Still, she was shivering in nervousness. "A-a-a-a-are you s-s-s-sure this will go over well?" "Darling, please, I got a good eye for good boys and girls, and I made sure you got a charmer~ Don't worry, Ayumi hooked up your Digivice so I can eavesdrop via your computer, so I will always be there~" This was a bold-faced lie, but Mizu was willing to try everything to calm down this nervous wreck. And is seemed to work. Yukiko took a deep breath. "O-o-ok, I trust you..." "Atta girl~"
Mizu had set up the date at a record store. She felt that if Yukiko was to meet the person in an area she feels more secure in, she might feel less nervous, too. Yukiko looked around as she arrived. Her date was, apparently, tall and had red hair. And when such a person approached her and introduced himself as her date, she almost fainted from sheer nervousness. "A-a-a-a-a-a-a-ah! Y-y-y-y-yy-es, I am Y-y-y-yukiko. N-n-n-nice to meet you, D-d-d-dante..."

It appears Dante had correctly spotted his blind date. As she introduces herself, he can tell that she is quite nervous about the date. Maybe even more nervous than he was. Dante smiles at Yukiko, then reassures her that she doesn't have to worry.
"It's nice to meet you too, Yukiko. You don't have to be anxious about our date. I admit that I'm a little on edge, but I'm just excited to be going out with someone new. Err, I mean, not that I go on dates very often."
Dante thinks back to a piece of advice he heard from his friend Shirou. The LAST person who should ever be giving advice about relationships, but in this case he was probably correct. Sometimes guys can talk too much, so Dante decides to limit his rambling.
Yukiko is wearing a nice red dress and a white sunhat. With red being his favorite color, Dante was definitely impressed with her dress. Though her arms were more muscular than Dante had expected, that wasn't a turnoff. Though it did make him feel self conscious about his slender build.
"I like your dress. It's beautiful."
Seeing as how this was a blind date, Dante didn't know much about Yukiko yet. Unaware that they were both Tamers, they might have some funny stories to share about their Digimon partners if the topic somehow comes up. What were the odds that Yukiko is also a Tamer? Talking about your pet monster is probably not a good convo on the first date.
"So, I heard you work at this record store. You must really enjoy music. Or do you get sick of it after a while? Any suggestions for where we should go? You must know this area better than I do."
While Dante is breaking the ice with Yukiko, his sister Judith is tailing him today. Wearing big sunglasses and a scarf over her hair to disguise herself, she casually browses the records, pretending to be shopping. She looks over and sees her brother talking to a young lady.
(Thinking) "I knew it! Looks like my brother finally found a date. After sticking his nose in my relationships, it's only fair to return the favor."
With his sister out for vengeance, how would this affect the blind date?

Despite Dante's well-meaning reassurance, Yukiko remained very shaky and nervous. "A-a-a-ahahah, I s-s-s-see, I n-n-n-never went out t-t-t-to a d-d-date mys-s-s-self..." She then noticed him looking her over, and when he complimented her dress her face became almost as red as said dress. She had to hide her face behind her hands in sheer embarrassment and awkwardness. "Uaaaaa. th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-thans!" She was now shivering quite all over, begging for there to be some sort of distraction...
...which thankfully came in the form of Dante asking her about her work place. She peeked between her fingers from behind her hands. "Ah, n-n-n-no, I d-d-don't get sick of music...m-m-m-my dad raised me on h-h-h-his music from birth, s-s-so I share his passions for it....a-a-and his tastes." She turned around, flicked through a few CDs, then pulled one out. It was yellow, for the most part, with a photo of three megaphones on an evening background in the middle. There was English text above the photo. It read "Depeche Mode" and "Music For The Masses". "Th-th-this is one of my dad's favourite albums, the one I have to credit the most for the kind of music I listen to now..." She looked through the CDs again and now showed a CD with a white cover, showing two men, the right one looking desinterested and the left one yawning. This one read "Pet Shop Boys.actually". "Ah, th-this one is one I like a lot, the music is really nice and varied..." Yukiko seemed a lot less nervous now that she was in her element...at the cost of not having heard Dante's question about where to go.
As Dante and Yukiko conversed, observed by his sister, a cardboard box slowly approached said sister from behind, its occupant desiring to peep on the date in progress, too. Mizu loved her tamer, but she also knew that anxiety of hers is her undoing. In the interest of her happiness the Betamon took it upon herself to make sure the date will go over well. She -was- wearing her Holosuit underneath, but using stealth, or at least what Mizu considered stealth, seemed to fit her plans of interfering as little as possible much better. "Uuuuh, this girl, she's such a wreck at times, she better not ruin this for herself...", Mizu said quietly to herself as she watched the two interact.

While Dante was a little nervous, it seems that Yukiko was taking it to a whole new level. She seemed to stutter a lot, as she continues shivering. Was this how she usually acted, or was being on a date too overwhelming? Dante felt sorry for Yukiko, and wants to give her a big hug to reassure her that everything's okay, but that would probably make things more uncomfortable. It's a good thing Wormmon wasn't here to stir up trouble. When Dante complimented her dress, it made her face blush, making her even more adorable.
Once they started talking about music, Yukiko seemed to be more comfortable. She flips through a few CDs, taking out a Depeche Mode CD and a Pet Shop Boys CD. Dante was a little familiar with their music, but didn't know many of their songs.
"Oh cool, I've heard of them. That's a cool cover. I like the song "Personal Jesus". It's been covered a few times, but none of them can compare to the orig' in my mind."
While Dante was starting to get hungry, he was fine hanging out at the record store for a while. He might find some new songs he likes. Yukiko had mentioned that her taste in music was influenced by her father.
"Sounds like you are close with your father. I share a lot of interests with my old man too. Though hopefully I'm not as stubborn as he is, haha."
Dante's sister Judith continues to spy on her brother. Unbeknownst to her, a certain amphibian in a box is right behind her. Judith turns and goes to take a step, but she trips over the box. Dante hears the commotion, and looks over. Thinking quickly, Judith scurries across the floor, hiding behind a shelf of international albums, one of them being Mes Courants Électriques from France. Judith manages to get away before Dante can see her.
"Eh? Strange. I thought I heard somebody."
Dante turns his attention back to Yukiko. Though he did notice a cardboard box laying out in the open. Judith sighs in relief, her cover not being blown as of yet.
(Thinking) "What the heck was that box doing there? Stupid Dante, thinks he can criticize my boyfriends. It's not like he's a piece of eye candy. Who is that girl he is with? She's not right for him at all. Just gotta bide my time, wait for the right moment to strike. Or maybe Dante should have a girlfriend. It would get him out of the house. I am fed up with him controlling the TV all the time... No, I must stick to the plan."
"Hey, do you wanna play some songs? I'd love to check out those albums."

"A-a-a-a-ah, th-that's a good song...Violator is a good album in general...I p-prefer this one, though." She held up the "Music For The Masses" album again. She smiled a tiny smile when Dante mentioned her father. "Ah, y-y-yes, me and dad are really close, he shared his music collection with me, so we could enjoy it together. He said he was an avid record collector in the 80s and 90s...he's always tried to be a friend for me when no one else would be..." She looked down a bit, then shook her head. She wanted to speak, but then Dante seemed to hear someone. She listened up, then shrugged. She had music to show off. A nice thing about the record store she worked it were multiple stations with scanners and headphones, allowing one to scan the barcode of the album to allow them to listen to it before they buy it. Yukiko took the yellow one, and scanned it, giving a headphone to Dante so he could listen. "I l-l-like this song a lot..." The song started with strange machine sounds, then turned into synthpop, with the singer's peculiar voice singing: "Strangelove, strange highs and strange lows Strangelove, that's how my love goes Strangelove, will you give it to me Will you take the pain I will give to you Again and again, and will you return it..."
Mizu, meanwhile, yipped when Judith stumbled over her box, but quickly covered her mouth with her claw, or rather hand now that she wore her holosuit. Oh no! Someone has discovered her disguise! Ok, Mizu-chan, play it cool! Act like you belong here! Once they're gone you can go back to making sure this date can go over well!

Yukiko scans the barcode and plays the Depeche Mode album. Dante puts on the headphones, trying not to think about all the people who wore them before. Hopefully there's no earwax on them. Strangelove sounds similar to some of the music Dante has heard before from that era. Though some of the lyrics were rather suggestive. Was Yukiko subtly telling Dante she wanted to escalate things between them? Nah, it was just a song.
"That's a good song. I like the synthesizers. Like in the song "Sweet Dreams". I don't really like one genre in particular, but songs from all different genres have caught my attention before, even country music."
Dante decides to goof off a bit, singing a goofy country song in a southern accent, pantomiming singing into an invisible microphone.
"...Spend my days working hard on the go, but the hands on the clock keep spinning too slow, 'cuz I can't wait to be alone with my baby toni-hiiiiight!..."
Hopefully Yukiko would find Dante's silliness charming, and not weird. Meanwhile Judith is puzzled by a noise she heard coming from the box. She leans out and reaches towards the box to open it up, but then she overhears Dante talking, and shimmies down the aisle staying low enough to avoid being seen.
"It's funny, my sister is actually a musician. Well, a musician of sorts. She wants to be a pop idol here in Japan."
Judith knows what's coming next. Dante is going to once again make light of her blossoming, though so far unsuccessful career. She locks her jaw and starts grinding her teeth in frustration.
"I mean, sure she's got an alright voice, but there's no way she can compete with the hundreds of idols who already have some credibility. Not like she's mature enough to handle the pressure anyways."
Dante realizes that maybe badmouthing his sister isn't the best way to score brownie points with his date.
"Uh, not that I'm not supportive. I'm just worried about her, is all. She either needs to get her big break already, or move on to something else. Even if it's just as a hostess, she needs some job experience on her resume."
Rage continues to build up inside Judith. Her wrath causes wrinkles on her forehead to show up.
(Thinking) "When I'm though with you, you'll wish you never ever had a sister, dumb, stinky Dante. He doesn't support my career at all. I should just walk up to them and tell his date what a lazy pig he is."
"But enough about my sister. I'm having lots of fun with you. Do you have other hobbies besides music? Do you work out, or are you just naturally fit? I'm into taekwondo and fencing, myself."
Dante was really starting to loosen up around Yukiko. Wormmon wasn't there driving his stress factor off the scale. There are no jealous exes messing with them. And his friend Shirou wasn't there, making creepy comments. So far, this was his best date ever.

Listening to Dante sing, Yukiko clammed up again when she heard the lyrics. Uaaah, w-w-w-what is Dante trying to tell her?? "Ah, th-th-th-th-this is n-n-n-not my k-k-k-kind of m-m-m-music, s-s-sorry..." She took a deep breath and gulped, frantically flipping through the albums to find another so she could distract herself. She stopped when Dante mentioned his sister. "Ah, you h-h-h-h-h-have a sister? H-h-h-how nice, I'm an only child...a-a-a-and she w-w-w-wants to be a musician? Hehehe, th-th-that's nice. I always wanted to learn to, but..." She stopped herself when Dante spoke negatively about his sister. "E-e-e-eh? N-n-n-not mature? B-b-b-but...w-w-w-wouldn't the support of her f-f-f-family b-b-be all she needs? Sh-sh-she can d-d-decide for herself if i-i-i-it's something for her..." Realizing she had just said something so potentially rude she turned beet red and stammered even more. "N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-not th-th-th-th-th-that I w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-wannat-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-tell you h-h-h-h-hg-h-h-h-how t-t-t-to t-t-t-t-treat y-y-y-your s-s-s-s-s-s-s-sis!!!!" Anything else Dante said after that was briefly a blur as Yukiko hyperventilated herself back to a somewhat-calm state. The question about hobbies came just in time for that. "Ah, h-h-h-hobbies, w-w-well, I l-like swimming...and...uh....o-o-o-origami... ...a-a-and I'm an a-a-a-avid watcher o-o-o-of old British shows m-m-my dad recommends...". She tried to think of other things she did, but she didn't feel like sharing that she's trying to learn how to draw. That would mean he wants to see her work, and she's still too bad to share anything.
Once the commotion died down, the Mizu-in-a-box snuck closer again. Eh? Who is even here, spying on her friend? Who would be spying on her besides her??? Could it be someone who wants to ruin it for her? No way sis, Yukiko already does that by herself! The disguised Digimon peeked through the hole in the front of her box once she was next to Judith again, examining this potential intruder!

Dante couldn't tell just how uncomfortable Yukiko was with his choice of song.
"Oh, I guess you don't like country music."
Criticizing his sister proved to be a less than wise topic to discuss, but Dante has so much deep seated resentment towards Judith that sometimes he just has to vent. Yukiko didn't totally agree with Dante's attitude about his sister, then felt bad for possibly being rude. A small disagreement was no reason to be upset, but Yukiko sounds anxious.
"It's nothing to worry about. Some siblings have very bittersweet relationships. I want what's best for her, but she can be stubborn."
(Thinking) "I'll show you stubborn."
Yukiko had mentioned that she thought about being a musician as well. When asked about her hobbies, she said she's interested in swimming and origami. Dante tries not to picture Yukiko in a skin tight bathing suit. Maybe if things go well today, they could go swimming on the second date.
"I think you should give it a try. Which instrument would you learn how to play? I never was any good at playing the guitar. Swimming is fun. I like going to the beach, but usually I'm laying back and relaxing."
Dante goes through some of the CDs, looking for something they would enjoy. You Sexy Thing, Hot Stuff, Feel Like Making Love, most music is just too sexual for a first date. Things were going well so far. Maybe something would really click between them.
Judith continues letting her rage towards her brother build. But Dante did bring up some good points. She wasn't successful. Her last album was canceled, and she was getting booked for fewer gigs. She starts feeling blue. Judith sits down on the strange box, wondering if maybe Dante was right and she should give up her dream.

Yukiko pulled out another CD and hastily inserted it, to get back to music that wouldn't drive the heat into her head. She had gotten a hunch when she just grabbed one, and to her relief, a song that always put her at ease began playing: Why worry, there should be laughter after pain There should be sunshine after rain These things have always been the same So why worry now Why worry now...
With the soothing sounds of Dire Straits washing over her, Yukiko calmed down enough to reply to Dante's questions. "Ah, I always w-wanted to learn how to play the keyboard...with electronic ones th-there's so many sounds y-you can make with them... ...ah, I do like the beach, too. I w-want to attend the Japan Coast Guard Academy eventually...I am q-quite good at c-competetive swimming, and I w-want to use that to help people..."
Mizu was surprised when someone sat down on her box. Wah! Has she been spotted??? Was this just coincidence??? Or was she overreacting?? Maaaaaaybe she should have a little peek and see who was resting their hindquarters on her box!

Ahh, finally some soothing music. The song Yukiko puts on should start playing every 5 minutes when Dante goes on one of his wild adventures in the Digital World. Yukiko says that she likes the keyboard, going to the beach, and is good at competitive swimming.
"Ya, the keyboard is good. I didn't know you swam competitively. Is that for college?"
Dante wouldn't have expected a girl as shy as Yukiko to swim competitively and like the keyboard. It seemed that she was able to open up and express herself more when doing things that she liked.
"You know, I wouldn't have guessed you could be competitive. You're much too nice to crush the competition."
Dante's attempt at flirtatious teasing would likely either get a chuckle out of Yukiko, or make her uncomfortable. Dante was enough of a stumblebum around women and there were definitely a few misfires in their blossoming chemistry. Dante thinks about the other swimmer he knows, Judith's ex boyfriend Kano. He is so vain and arrogant, at least 10 people feel like punching him in the face every week.
"I'm just teasing with you. You give swimmers a good name. Not like the men who wax their body hair."
Part of Dante's mind prepares to ask if Yukiko shaves for swimming, but fortunately he thinks better of it and avoids another uncomfortable topic.
Judith notices something moving around inside the box. Confused, she gets up and leans over to look inside, and sees someone, or something inside. Judith lets out a quick mouse-like squeak, having been caught off guard. Were they stalking the stalker, or also stalking this first date?

Yukiko nodded slightly. "Ah, i-i-in part...I started early because I liked it, a-a-and over time I j-just became better and better...m-my parents encouraged me to do it professionally, s-s-so I joined the school's swim team...I w-w-won us the first place once..." Dante's attempts at playful flirtation had a third, unintentional effect: her face turned wholly red, she began to hyperventilatre again and stuttered even worse. "A-a-a-a-a-a-ah! Th-th-th-th-th-th-thanks? I g-g-g-g-g-g-g-guess I g-g-g-g-g-g-gotta d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-o m-m-m-m-m-my best..." Perhaps questions concerning her body were not the way to go, the girl was easier to set off than a fire alarm in a tobacco store.
Judith found a woman in the box, who stared at her for a bit. Then she grinned, and waved. "Yo!"

"First place? That is incredible!"
Yukiko seemed to be a natural at swimming. While Dante had his own athletic achievements, it sure had been a while since he did anything of note. Were his feelings towards Yukiko subconsciously a way to compensate for his own lack of success? Probably not. Dante took a risk, flirtatiously teasing the girl prone to nervousness, making her so anxious that Dante thought she was going to faint. Though he did have a strange sudden urge to smoke a cigarette.
"I uh, didn't mean to stress you out. What if I gave you a backrub? Would that relax you?"
Dante was only digging himself in deeper. Truly a shining example of boyfriend material... *cough*
Meanwhile, Judith was surprised to see a woman sitting there in the box. Confused, she almost forgot what she was there for.
"Uh... hello there. May I ask what you're doing in that box?"
While Dante is trying to talk his way into the bathing suit of an emotionally fragile woman, he hears an all too familiar voice.
"Judith?"
Dante heads over to the aisle and sees Judith kneeling next to a box with... a person inside?!
"Judith, what's going on here? Are you spying on me?" "What? No, don't be ridiculous. As a soon-to-be successful young idol, I often frequent record stores. I'm here on a date with this girl in the box."
Dante's mind nearly breaks.
"What? No, I'm here on a date. Go play detective somewhere else, sis." "Right, because you were doing such a good job hitting on her." "I don't need this. Yukiko and I are having a wonderful time, and we don't need you sticking your big nose in our business." "Big nose?! That's crossing a line, stink breath!"
All this fighting couldn't be good for Yukiko's well being.

Yukiko looked down at her feet, but then looked back up again. What? A Backrub? Had she heard that correctly? N-n-n-no, s-s-s-surely not! "E-e-e-e-eh, w-w-w-what???" She looked left and right, her basal monkey brain telling her to escape from this terrible situation! And it got even worse when Dante's sister turned up! "E-e-e-eeeeeeh!?" The poor girl froze, utterly baffled by what was going around her! She had no idea what to do or say, how to react! And...is that Mizu???
Mizu smiled. "Why, I am a normal adult with a normal adult hobby, don't ask!" Ooooh dear, but the girl was spotted by her brother! And now they're fighting? This is embarrassing! And poor Yukiko was hyperventilating again! She had to help her! And so, she jumped up, and positioned herself in front of Dante, sticking out her holographic chest. "Stop it, both of you! Look what you're doing to poor Yukiko!"

If Dante was making Yukiko nervous, adding Judith into the mix certainly wasn't going to help anyone relax. Could Dante figure out a way out of this, or were his efforts to seduce Yukiko doomed from the start? The girl in the box got out and stood in front of Dante, her body language showing the confidence Yukiko lacked.
"Uh, and who are you? Where did you find this girl, Judith?" "To be honest, I don't know what she is up to. But right now, I'd rather listen to her put you in your place rather than your sad attempts to appeal to your date." "What is with your attitude? I'm your brother, for crying out loud. What did I do to upset you?" "It's not fun when someone messes with your love life, is it?" "So that's what this is about? You're getting payback for me showing disapproval about your boyfriends? This isn't about you, I'm here to get to know Yukiko, not listen to my sister nag."
Not only is Dante concerned about his sister's bad attitude, he's upset that their arguing was going to freak Yukiko out. And who is this strange woman who came out of the box? Is that like a product now? Where can you buy a box with a woman inside? That would have been very useful during those long, cold, lonely months while Dante was single. The less than perfect brother turns to Yukiko. He scratched his head and smiles at her uncomfortably.
"I know this is probably confusing, but trust me, there's nothing to worry about. Maybe we should go somewhere else where we can be alone."
Judith stands there with her hands on her hips, making a pouty face.
"You've already proven yourself a lousy date and an even worse brother. You are not mature enough to handle a relationship."
If Yukiko wasn't there, Dante would really let loose and give his sister a piece of his mind, but he couldn't say what he wanted to with ladies present. At this point, his best bet was to deescalate the situation so he could go back to enjoying his time with his date, and badmouth Judith at a later point when it wasn't counterproductive to the date.
