Location: Residential District: Shopping Center
(OOC: Takes place June 14, 2521 around 11:53am. Just Fio and Henry for now)
Just another warm summer day. Fio sat outside the coffee shop, looking out to the streets. Why was she out at a coffee shop where they had such warm drinks on a day like this? Well.. because she was waiting for someone.
She'd been slightly nervous about it, but she'd asked Henry if he could meet her out here today. Why the heck had she felt so nervous about asking him out for a drink? They were friends..! How hard was it to say 'Henry, wanna go to the coffee shop for a drink'?!
Fio grew red just thinking about it.. She opted to wear some faded black jeans today along with a white and orange top, so the reddish tint on her face only made the colorization look weirder. God this was so embarrassing... What the heck was wrong with her? She sunk in her seat a little bit, trying to cover up that blush of hers a bit. Why was it thinking about that guy who had such a vocabulary did this to her?
Maybe it was.. Naw. Couldn't be.
As for her Biometal, Model Fi was still in her pouch that hung loosely from her waist. Best to have him with her just in case of a random Maverick attack or something, but this was just making things awkward. Here she was thinking she might potentially like a guy, and she just had to have her overprotective Biometal on her.
Yaaaaaay...~
"I hope he gets here soon.."

And along would come the man of the moment, seeming to bob his head to some song that was either playing in through an earpiece or playing in his mind. More than likely, it was playing in his mind, and was stuck in his mind since all the way back in May when his sister had been playing an obscene amount of music on her birthday, including Nightowl Cityscape. Not exactly his favorite ever, but the music was catchy.
He himself opted to wear a greenish pair of shorts and a pink button-up T-shirt -- a reversal of his usual green jacket and pink slacks, and something a bit more summery. He slunk closer to the cafe, then adjusted his glasses ever-so-slightly in order to capture the glint of the sun and try to give a hint, a wordless signal to warn Fio so she wouldn't be spooked by his sudden greeting. "Why hello there on this positively brilliant summer day~." He then rubbed the fuzz under his chin slightly and chuckled. "Wait for me long?"
He couldn't help but be a little cheeky about it when he saw the reddish tint Fio's face was holding. He played with a few silvery bangs, then quickly pushed those wire-frame glasses up with his pinky. "Sorry I took so long."

Fio sunk in her chair a bit more fiddling with her fingers. She really wanted Henry to come, but at the same time.. she was very nervous about it.. There was just something about him that gave her the 'butterflies in the stomach' feeling. It wasn't that she didn't like him. On the contrary.
....Maybe she did like him.
....A lot.
But what if she was just over thinking it? "Should I.. say something to him...? No. I'll just make myself look stupid.. And even if I did.. what if he doesn't feel the same way..? Do I even want to put myself through that..?" she mumbled. No point in embarrassing herself like that, right?
Sorry, Henry. But she was so lost in thought that she did get a bit startled by your sudden appearance. She gasped lightly, jumping a tiny bit. "H-Henry..! I.. I didn't see you there..!" Crap..! How long had he been there?! Had he heard anything she'd even said?!
After settling down a little bit, she glanced over to a clock for the time. "No.. you're not late. I've been waiting for a little while, but.. that's only because I came early." Fio could feel her face heating up, and it wasn't from the summer temperatures either.

It seemed the wordless signal had been lost on Fio, who had been equally lost in thought. Henry chuckled lightly, then pulled up a seat carefully, sitting down and sweeping a few bangs away from his glasses. He then smiled softly. "I just arrived, don't worry. Sorry I spooked you, in any case." He then gave a soft laugh. "And apologies if you couldn't see because I, very literally, flashed a signal with my glasses."
Henry smiled politely, folding his hands together, then tilted his head. "So you couldn't wait to see me, huh?" He couldn't help but tease her a little when he spoke up. "In any case, seems a bit unseasonably warm out, if your face is anything to go by." No. He was not oblivious. He was hinting that he was seeing that blush.

Oh Henry.. you didn't have to keep apologizing like that. Fio was the one far too lost in thought, ironically.. about you. She should've been paying a bit more attention. "Henry, you don't have to apologize. I was the one not paying attention. I say I deserved to have you sneak up on me like that. Really, it's ok."
She watched carefully as Henry took his seat, accidentally finding herself just staring at him. Crap.. now she was being teased.. Maybe she shouldn't have said that she got here early, but she really couldn't help it. She wanted to hang out with Henry, and she needed a few minutes to get her emotions in check. Not.. that those few minutes did any good. Cause now she was even more uncertain that she was when she left the apartment! "I.. I guess I did.." Fio played with her fingers a bit, glancing down with a nervous smile.
"Y-yes. V-very unseasonal I'd say.." That only made her blush harder, Henry! Figures he'd catch onto it so quickly.. but with the way he worded things it was just so hard to tell.. And that was just another thing that made Fio like him. His massive vocabulary skills.
"I, um.. I haven't ordered anything yet.. I.. I was actually waiting for you before I ordered.."

Lost in thought? Well, one day Henry was going to have to get you a roadmap so you didn't get lost. A roadmap to his mind because you ran through it an awful lot. "Oh, but I rather dislike spooking someone like a spectre that goes bump in the nightfall." He would then chuckle and smile softly and reach his hand up to adjust his glasses once more. "Anyways, wait for me long?"
Henry didn't really notice the staring. He was just trying to get comfortable, really. The man liked being able to put his butt in a seat and get it into just the right position, wherever he needed it to be. He chuckled a little, seeing her face blush harder; it wasn't that he was trying to be such a shameless flirt. It just came out like that, honest! "Unseasonably warm indeed. I daresay a trite bit unsettlingly warm?" Oh, Henry couldn't help it. He liked to be a linguistic acrobat. Some girls liked it, after all. At least--he thought Fio liked it.
He grinned softly. "Then should we get a good look at the menus? After all, it's no fun if you're all hungry and stuff."

Another attempt at flirting Henry? If you gave her a map like, she'd be lost in your brain for.. quite awhile. You just didn't want her leaving, did you? "It's ok, Henry. Really. I know you didn't mean it. I deserved it anyway, being as long in thought as I was. But.. I haven't been here too long. Maybe.. five or ten minutes? Somewhere along those lines."
Fio quickly nodded along, deciding not to answer Henry's question with words. Dammit.. how was this guy making her blush so easily?! Oh right.. she was the one who liked him. Of course he would. Wait.. She liked him..? Well, that settled that, probably. It was kinda warm outside, but it wasn't a scorcher. At least not yet anyway. Maybe later on in the day.
...And yes. Fio was definitely one of those girls, Henry.
Picking up the menu, she looked through it for probably the tenth time in a row. "Yeah, I am kinda hungry.. And coffee isn't going to fill me up, either. Just make me more awake. The sandwiches look good~." At the moment, she was caught between a panini and a BLT. Hmm.. Which one? "I.. I never really did properly thank you for standing up for me the other day.. you know.. with that guy at the truck?"

All of the flirting. All of it. Of course, Henry would want Fio to get lost in his mind. That way he could have all the time he wanted with her--and more! Plus she'd probably figure out what made him tick. "Thank goodness. I was worried that I'd made you wait too long while I scrambled looking for my glasses, ahaha!" Honestly, he had lost them for a while there, and he had nearly panicked about it.
Oh, she liked him? Because Henry sure liked her too. It was no wonder he liked playing around with words around Fio. He didn't waste words on one who wasn't worth it, after all. Fio was worth the words.
He himself picked up a menu and adjusted his glasses while reading through it. "That they do! And the tomato and basil soup doesn't look too bad either. I wonder if a panini will pair with it?" He wondered if a panini paired with it like he paired with Fio, of course. "It's alright. You had a lot on your mind, and a business to run. I daresay business before pleasure."
