It's gonna be so much fun! There's gonna be flirting cuddling while at the theater and suggestive comments from onlookers and the whole date starts with the More Functional Party dragging his disaster sort-of-boyfriend out for "clothes-shopping" (i.e. getting him washed, waxed and polished to a mirror shine) before realising that oh, oh no, I forgot how hot you are, and that scene of the two of them just being like ":D" ":D" is gonna be great fun to write.

I feel like the outline works really well, the bigger problem is... character. Perspective. Thing, where my chosen POV character feels really hard to nail and make sound believeble while also keeping him oblivious enough that he gets to have a satisfying arc of accepting that this is his life, now, over the course of the story :') I don't know how to write brilliant but stubborn ramblers despite being one myself.
