[ Nerves are there so hardcore. He's excited, too, though. He had been mostly prepared to be rejected, so he's not even sure how to react to a yes - other than to go straight to Otabek's room. He's basically already on his way. He thinks maybe he should bring something. What should he bring? Oh god. It's been so long since he's gone on a first date. It had been since Isabella. And dating in high school is different then... here. ]
[ Otabek looks at the phone and just smirks. He doesn't know what else to do, honestly. The other's enthusiasm is evident even if it's only a text. Otabek just knows, from the pause to the sudden text...JJ was excited.
And the shorter skater didn't have it in him to hold it against the other. After all, he was pretty excited himself. Even if he didn't show it like others did.
Moving to relax back on his bed, Otabek flipped through the channel, selecting a menu to look through the movies they could rent if nothing caught their attention. He'd wait to order room service till the other was there so they could both choose and be there when the food got there. ]
[ JJ ends up stopping at a gift shop and finding a bear plush. A cute one with pronounced brows and a serious expression. It reminds him of Otabek. His fans always seem to give him bears, though. He wonders if he even keeps them. This could be a horrible mistake, but...he doesn't want to show up empty handed. So it takes him a little bit, but he shows up at Otabek's room, bear plush in hand, and prepared to get them dinner and a movie for the night.
It had been so long since he'd done this, it feels like, he has no idea what he's doing. ]
[ When he hears the knock on the door, Otabek is up from the bed and opening the door not long after. He smiles at the nervous look on JJ's face before moving to the side to wave the other in. ]
[ He steps in. JJ is mostly just glad he made it this far... because it's rather surprising he did. At least in his opinion. He had been nervous about this for ages. And here they were. He hesitates a moment, and then nudges the bear he had picked out towards Otabek. ]
He reminded me of you so...
[ He had to. ]
Anyway, thanks. I can order us whatever you want to eat.

Can I?
Can I come over?
Or...I mean. Do you want to go get dinner?
We can relax if you prefer, though?
I was meaning as a date.
no subject
He hadn't expected that tonight. Honestly he hadn't expected it at all, JJ had seemed flirty enough but lately he'd been distant. ]
Sure.
Come to my room...we can order room service and watch a movie or something.
[ That was a relaxing 'date' right? Look he's tired from skating and all the excitement, he doesn't want to leave his room right now. ]
no subject
[ Wait. He takes a moment. He didn't get rejected immediately? ]
You're okay with this being a date, right?
no subject
Yes.
[ Short and simple.
About time the guy came around to asking him. He was beginning to think he'd have to be the one to say something after he and Isabella broke up. ]
no subject
I'm on my way, then.
