Echoll's Residence: 5:30 FHS

She was not nervous. Absolutely not. Being nervous would be silly, and Jake was never, ever silly. She frowned at herself in the mirror. She'd tried to do exactly as Duce and Chloe had shown her, but she wasn't entirely sure of the result. What was the point of make-up that didn't show?

The doorbell rang, and she nearly fell over turning around too quickly.

"Fucking shoes," she bitched, making her way to the front door. While wearing a short skirted dress was a bit weird, at least she could move in it. Not nervous. Not nervous in the least.

Jake paused by the door and sighed.

So fucking nervous.

Krycek was only slightly less nervous by way of experience - he'd been to his old Homecoming, many years ago, and subsequent dates after that. But this was the first one with Jake. So, yes, nervous. But not too nervous. Really.

He rang the doorbell a second time, trying mentally to think if it was impatient of him to do so or whether he'd waited long enough. Exhaling out, trying to relax, he smoothed one hand down his coat and then straightened his tie. The door hadn't opened yet.

As he touched the doorbell a third time, the door itself finally swung open. And there was Jake, dressed in something short wow, legs, and-- heels?, very very red Chloe, I owe you big time and wearing makeup his eyes are gorgeous, he's wearing lipstick. Krycek's eyes widened and he stared. Maybe Jake as a girl was something he could get more used to than he originally thought.

"Hey," Jake said, blinking at Krycek. Krycek in a suit. Not bad, not bad at all. "You look great. Um, is this okay? I don't look like a freak of nature or something, right? I am, obviously, but--" She waved her hand from her chest to her knee.

Krycek managed a speechless nod, then amended that a moment later when his mouth actually felt like moving. "No, you look great," he grinned, looking at Jake wonderingly. "You look beautiful."

Taking the last step up, he lifted the box he had been holding under one arm. "Here (http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/5266/tf16107eh4vc.jpg). You might not want to wear it before dinner though." He was already wearing his boutonniere (http://www.kremp.com/product_details.asp?productID=1988), pinned to his lapel, but it wouldn't possibly interfere with eating so he'd put it on before he forgot. He was still staring at Jake a little, but trying not to be so overt about it and failing so miserably.

Taking the box with a curious eyebrow quirk, Jake looked down at it, and laughed delightedly in surprise. She remembered demanding a corsage, but she hadn't thought Krycek would actually buy one. "You bought me a flower-y thing! Awesome." She beamed up at him. "Where is it supposed to go?"

He grinned even more widely at Jake's response; he really did seem to be getting into the whole girl thing for all it was worth. "On your wrist. I didn't know if you'd have shoulders on the dress." Krycek pointedly glanced at the lack of material there. "So I got the kind with elastic. That's why I thought you might want to wait to wear it - so you don't get it in your food." Teasing, he cocked his head, watching Jake. "So are you ready?"

"Ah, good point." Jake nodded in agreement. She held the box with the corsage in firmly in one hand and held her other hand out for Krycek to take. Alexeij in a suit, flower-y thingy, dinner. Definitely real date. "Ready as I'll ever be."

Accepting Jake's hand, he smirked and leaned down to kiss the back of it. "Let's be on our way then."
