I can see nightowl being the type of person to like going to different places for each date. He would definitely take you out to a fancy restaurant if you desired, but I feel like he prefers something more chill, he gives off the vibe that he wants to go to places where he doesn’t have to be so careful about etiquette.
I think that his mom forced a lot of table manners and proper ettiqute when he was still with them, everything needed to be perfect and he was no exception. Ever since he was freed from his cage, nowadays he doesn’t care for formal occasions.
Which is why going to a picnic is perfect. I have a strong feeling he saw those tiktoks with people preparing elaborate picnics and decided to try it with his cutie
Ever since he moved away from his parents, he has been experimenting and trying new things he never got the chance to during his childhood years, and style is definitely one of them.
Imagine this, the two of you preparing for a cottagecore picnic, wearing matching outfits, doesn’t matter if you choose a dress or a skirt, he will definitely be determined to wear either of them.
I don’t think he would match everything to the last detail, he would probably do a light twist like it could be a similar piece just different colours
It would be sort of symbolic of the bond between the two of you but, even though you guys are together, both of you still retain your individuality. He finally has the chance to be himself and so he is going all out.
PERHAPS IM LOOKING TOO INTO THIS-
I vaguely recall robo mentioning that his favourite food is omurice and especially if it’s homemade, so I can see the two of you just secretly making each other’s favourites. Even if you might not be the best at cooking he would have the biggest smile just because he knew you did it for him
After witnessing the amount of effort he is putting into this date, Mc would definitely get him something he had his eyes on, or maybe even a bouquet. I personally envision peonies and baby’s breath ( I may love roses but man peonies <3)
As for the location, I can see one of two things, either a flower field where its just the two of you, which helps if the Mc feels more comfortable showing affection privately instead of in front of people, or, if they are comfortable, he would pick out a place where it’s aesthetically pleasing, like those fancy parks with gazebos.
I see the two of them playing Uno, idk why, like picnics can be fun and romantic, but like, playing the game with your beloved in the light breeze and beautiful scenery is a dream. Nightowl seems like he is good at Uno, but he is also a simp so if you are really bad at Uno he would purposely let you win a few times
During the entirety of the picnic, you will easily gain over 50+ pictures, some of them will be of either the two of you together or separately, in rare moments it will be the environment around you. Photo sessions are a must in this relationship
After the food has been finished, both would cuddle on the soft blanket and gaze at the sunset, holding one another in comforting silence, constantly stealing sneaky glances at one another
Cards and various delicacies decorated the pastel pink blanket as the two lovebirds were surrounded by a floral valley. All was silent except for the quiet breaths and sweet nothings whispered in each other’s ears, peaceful moments such as these were sacred, time always felt as if it stopped. All worries vanished, it felt as if they were the only ones in the world. “ Cutie, I could stay with you here all day, are you sure we can’t just call in sick tomorrow?” He pouted, nightowl wished he could take this moment and have it last forever, but sadly, responsibilities existed, in this world, nothing came for free.
They gently cupped his face, tracing the intricate lines that shaped him, the same lines they gazed at every morning, evening and night. “ You know what? Sure, let’s call in sick, I think we can afford to enjoy a little long weekend.” He shouted in excitement, fists raised to the sky, a triumphant grin never leaving his face. They laughed at his reaction and held him tightly until a batch of daisies caught their gaze, slowly they rose from their position and picked a couple of them, an idea had sparked in their mind as their hands slowly wove the petite flowers into a floral crown.
As they grasped the crown, they gently placed it onto nightowl’s head, he chuckled at their focused gaze as they adjusted the strands of hair, assuring that the final piece looked nothing short of perfection. “ Since you constantly call me your majesty, I thought it’s time I crown you as my king, a ruler must have their love beside them.” He sat up from his previous position and placed a peck on their soft lips as thanks, he had always shown his affections and gratitudes physically, he never hesitated to hold them by the arm, waist or hand.
Some would call him clingy, however, to them, his behaviour and soft touches were comforting, they had always served as a form of reassurance or it helped them to stay grounded in the moment, focused on nothing but the warm squeeze. “ Well who am I to refuse such a title from my liece?”
“Thank you for bringing me here love, I really needed to get away somewhere, anywhere to be perfectly honest, just as long as you are by my side.” A heart warming smile had placed itself on both of their faces as they focused on each other and leaned in for a kiss. The kiss was so sweet, nothing but pure love behind every peck. They had returned to laying on the blanket and basking in the warm hues of the sky, a mixture of scents in the air as the wind led the flowers of the field in a dance.
“ Beautiful, you have no need to thank me, instead I have to thank you because you have given me the two things I thought I lost. Love and hope, and I will never stop thanking you till the end of my days.” He softly stroked their skin, they felt as if a flame had spread itself onto them, along with his sweet words, it set their heart ablaze. They burnt brightly for each other, eternal flames with no means of extinguishing, forever guarded by their own Vestal priestesses. For they would always burn for each other.
