Ziggy knew this was special on so many levels and for so many reasons. He was determined to make it perfect. That included calling weeks ahead to ensure the menu that came to their table was completely vegetarian and safe for his species. There were a lot of things someone could do as a rockstar that others couldn't. The restaurant was jackets required but had several seating areas and he eventually settled on a warm room with huge windows.

That had been awhile back now. The day was here and Ziggy was a whirlwind as he prepared. He started with starry make up and added petals around one eye for a little more drama. It was finally time for the outfit he had been hiding from Minoru as a surprise for weeks. Everything was in order and he checked several times before finishing everything off with a glamorous pair of earrings and plunging necklace.

Then he was out the door and to the limo. It was tradition for the masculine to pick up the feminine for something like this but Ziggy didn't care about these traditions. He pulled up in the red limo with wrist corsage Ziggy had made for Minoru, on the suggestion of his father who said this was traditional for first important dates. With flowers in hand he clopped up to their place in his heavy heels and then rang for the apartment. He had to admit some nerves, oddly on behalf of the human more than himself.

Meanwhile, Minoru was adjusting the belt on the suit Ziggy had made for him. (The style was comfortable, the color was a little bit darker violet than the original sketches, which made the cherry blossom design pop just as much as his hair did. And that, no matter what he did to it, would always pop. In all directions.)

“He’s going to be here any minute. Isamu, how do I look?” He called frantically from the bathroom. Isamu was leaning calmly against the doorframe to his brother’s bedroom.

“Psychologically, like it would do you good to run a few laps around the block.” He smirked, eliciting a groan from Minoru. “Aesthetically, though, you have never looked more prim and proper. Ziggy’s clothes flatter you.”

“You sure?”

“Without a doubt. I am also completely certain that your looks are not the primary reason he cares for you, and thus, should concern you no more than the percentage likely assigned to them.” When Minoru walked out of the bathroom, Isamu put a hand on his shoulder. “Deep breath. In. And out. There we go. You are going to have a wonderful time on first date.”

Minoru breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. “Thanks, bro.”

At that exact moment, the doorbell rang. Minoru jumped. Before Isamu could remind him, he was grabbing a small box and some flowers from the kitchen table. The box, he slid down into a pocket. But the bouquet of flowers, he held in his hand as he opened the door.

He couldn’t hide the blush on his face when he saw Ziggy’s well-kept secret. That ensemble was literally out of this world.

“Wow... You look amazing!” He stammered a little before announcing, “These are for you!”

In the background, Isamu shook his head softly. His little brother (by a few minutes - it counted), going off on his first date...

“Have a pleasant evening. If I wait up, I assure you, it is merely coincidental. I have nine more data sets to graph and analyze before tomorrow’s collaborative meeting.”

Minoru wasn’t expecting flowers in return. Of course, he accepted the gift with both hands and admired it respectfully - they were beautiful! - but he couldn’t help looking a bit confused when he asked, “To wear?”

Isamu hadn’t yet retreated to his studies, and couldn’t help but sneak a peek at the gift.

“The gift of a corsage, although rooted in ancient traditions of warding away evil spirits, now signifies consideration and generosity, as it is meant to honor the lady wearing it on a very special occasion.”

“Oh! Yeah! You bought one of these for your prom date!” Minoru finally recalled.

“And on a few other choice occasions.” Which, thankfully, Isamu did not rattle off in rapid succession.

“Well, technically... tonight’s YOUR night to be treated like a lady. But... hey, Isamu! Got any pins?” He called back. It would only take a moment or two for his brother to locate a couple of safety pins. “I want to make sure your generosity lasts more than five minutes.”

On the lapel of his jacket it would go - another brilliant pop of color to accentuate the cherry blossoms.

Minoru glanced down as Ziggy made quick work of the wires and then back up at him. “...am I wearing it wrong?”

Isamu blinked. He was the one that just defined it in terms of human traditions, and Minoru, trying not to do something wrong, quickly followed his lead. That wouldn’t do at all.

“I think it would be for the best if you get going.” He smiled nervously but politely, gently pushing Minoru out the door. “Do not worry about what to do or not to do. Simply enjoy yourself. Have fun.”

The door closed behind them, and Minoru even heard the lock click. He rubbed his head nervously.

But when Ziggy slipped his arm inside his, the calming effect of his presence took over a bit. Minoru felt just as much excitement as he did nerves, and pretty soon, that would win out.

“Yeah.” He smiled, holding the Anthean close. “Yeah. Let’s go!”

Not that Ziggy had to do much leading. No one else could possibly be responsible for that vehicle.

“Woah...”

It was definitely impressive.

Minoru took the offered hand and literally hopped right in. He slid deftly next to Ziggy on the seat - making that loose cut on the suit worth the time spent on it.

“Champagne? Can’t say I really have.” He thought back to various graduations, weddings and other ceremonies, but couldn’t recall any of them serving champagne. “All the fancy events I’ve gone to usually had sake. But I’ll try almost anything once.”

He wasn’t a big drinker, so Robert’s assistance shouldn’t be needed. At least not before they even got to the restaurant!

Minoru tried to stop and count - it was the first date in general, the flowers, the limo, now the champagne. “I think we’re at four. Maybe five, if wearing a Ziggy Stardust original counts.”

He accepted the champagne flute carefully, so as not to spill before they even got moving.

“It’s fizzy.” He remarked playfully as he took a small sip.

Minoru felt very honored. Not just to be wearing the one of a kind suit, but to have Ziggy’s affection and acceptance.

“What are the other two?” He asked, sipping a little more.

The champagne was one of those acquired tastes he definitely hadn’t acquired. He wasn’t a heavy drinker, and when he did, it was usually lighter and sweeter brews. This had the chill and fizz of a soda but without the sweetness. (Naturally, an Anthean would prefer something less sweet.)

He blushed, but grinned too. He had his own surprises planned beyond the bouquet of flowers, and he wasn't going to give them away either!

"We'll just have to find out all the surprises together."

But in the meantime, Minoru couldn't help but bounce a little on the seat. It was so soft, so plush, clearly made for a star. And there was plenty of space to just stretch out if they wanted to.

"Do you ride in this all the time when you go places? It's so comfortable!"

Minoru lifted his arm and draped it around Ziggy’s shoulder as he leaned in. He was still working on his own glass.

“I’d say it should come out more, but I guess that makes sense. Saving something for special occasions makes it more special.”

And this was definitely a special occasion.

Though he wouldn’t be surprised if this thing wasn’t tricked out to some kind of Anthean specifications. It hardly felt like they were moving at all. And not once had Minoru felt like he might spill his drink.

Minoru blushed at the compliment. “Thanks... it’s so different from what I usually wear. But it feels, not so different, somehow - the way you made it. It’s amazing.”

It really was a marvelous fashion statement. And Minoru wasn’t sure how to really describe it. It was tailored to accentuate his body, but loose enough to feel as comfortable as a familiar set of scrubs.

“I mean, is there anything you can’t make?” He squeezed Ziggy gently in the one-armed hug.

“No, you could never do that.” Minoru agreed with a smile, “never in a million years.”

He took another drink from his glass and raised an eyebrow. He wasn’t sure what Ziggy meant, but he was about as ready for that as he was the date in general. Which, was actually more and more ready each passing minute as he started to relax.

“Don’t suppose that stir involves climbing out of the sunroof?” Probably not, but once he spotted it, he couldn’t help himself. “I want to try that once we get back to my place, at least...”

Naturally.

The minute Ziggy said that, Minoru’s face lit up. “All right!”

He slid his feet out of the dress shoes before he’d even finished the exclamation. While he could probably climb out in a way where his feet didn’t even touch the car, it was better safe than sorry. And this gave him a lot more options. Sliding? Rolling off? Jumping? Adding a flip?

“If you wanted to keep yours on, I could carry you down.” He grinned. “Unless that would be too jarring.”

He wouldn’t flip or roll if Ziggy said yes, obviously. He vaguely remembered the spin at the album release party being too much for the Anthean.

“Unless we want to climb back in to get them, I’d say the shoes!” He laughed.

Minoru didn’t know what kind of crowd might be waiting at the restaurant for a glimpse of a celebrity, but the first thing they were going to see would be some fancy shoes being tossed over the side.

“After that? Well, they always say ladies first.” He bowed politely.
