Want me to bring them over to your place?

Sure! I'll clean up a bit if you are coming over then.

Alright, how about I'll be there in an hour? Does that give you enough time?

Sure! I'll be ready I think!

[Spoiler: Zack was indeed not ready and still mid cleaning by the time Rude comes over.]

[ Rude is at the door exactly an hour later, he brought the chocolates and a nice boquet of flowers for Zack since he knows the guy is rather romantic. ]

Hey handsome.

[Zack's apartment is half cleaned and half a disaster zone as he hurries to the door with clothes in his hands, not realizing the time and thinking it might be the pizza he just ordered for them. He's surprised to see Ruse and his face turns a deep red.]

R-Rude! You're here already???

Yeah it's been an hour.

[ He chooses to ignore the clothes in Zack's hands and the state of the place as he steps inside and hands Zack the flowers. He has seen worse. ]

Got you something.

O-oh..

[He looks at the flowers and blinks, confused for a moment before taking them. He's the flower guy. It's been so long since anyone got HIM flowers so he takes them carefully and looks at Rude with with such joy.]

You got me flowers??? Rudeeeeee that's so sweet!

Well, I figured getting you chocolates would just be copying what you did,

[ He reaches out to pull Zack in for a kiss. ]

Need help cleaning up?

Aww well that's oka-

[His face goes red as Rude pulls him in for a quick kiss and he's left to just deal with that for a moment.]

I..um....what'd you say?

Do you want help with cleaning up?
[ It wouldn't be the first time he has helped someone clean up their space. ]

Or we can just ignore it. I am good either way.

Um...

[Zack puts the flowers down on a nearby table for a moment before he runs back to Rude and looks at him with starry big mako eyes.]

Yeah sure but can you kiss me again first?

[ Rude chuckles slightly, there is no way he is going to say no to those eyes and he cups Zack's chin gently as he kisses him. The kiss is soft and sweet. ]

And here I thought you wanted chocolate.

You're sweeter than chocolate. [He mumbles inbetween the kisses, not really wanting to stop. He wraps his own arms around Rude's waist, a little shy but still very eager.]

[ Rude chuckles, Zack is a charmer any day and today it seems like has stepped it up a notch. He pulls Zack against him and gives him a long and deep kiss. ]

Is that so? In that case we can skip the chocolate, hm?

[Zack melts into the kisses, totally just enjoying this a lot and eager for more and more. He hums a yes at Rude's question, not really paying attention but then he does and he pulls back and his face is very red.]

AH! I MEAN WE SHOULD PROBABLY LIKE HAVE THIS DATE FIRST RIGHT?

Flowers and chocolate don't count as a date?

[ Rude moves to tip Zack's face so he has better access to his neck as he starts kissing his way down it. ]

N-no they do but...ah...

[He didn't mean for things to go this way, he's not complaining but Rude's making it super hard to concentrate right now. He keeps his hands on Rude, holding him close and letting Rude shift him how he wants, putting up no fight at all/]

S-Shouldn't it be a...um...proper date with talking first?

You want to be wined and dined and then seduced? The other way round works just fine if you ask me

I mean....isn't that....shouldnt we?

[He may have had sex but he's still clearly a baby to all of this.]

We don't have to do things if we don't want to. Watching a movie and having a beer together counts as a date too.

I do want a date and it's not a no I just...is this too fast?

[He's still so shy Rude, he needs encouragement.]

I don't think so. But I don't want to do anything you're not comfortable with. How about we watch a movie and have the chocolate and we see where things go.

I...[If it wasn't for Rude seeing him full aroused previously and being there for almost every step of Zack's progress in duplicity he might have found it funny he flustered Zack but Zack's been flustered around him some times now. His grip on Rude is very tight as he struggles to hold back from just taking the man and dragging him to his bedroom.]

I'm not uncomfortable with it but I also don't want to ruin any friendship we have....I think you should be treated proper and stuff.

[ Rude chuckles at that, noticing just how tight the grip on him is. ]

Do I strike you as the sort of man who would insist on being treated proper? I am not saying no to it, but it is not a must, I won't feel cheated out of something if you slam me up against a wall and kiss me.
