Blind Date

"You're doing it all wrong! You have to put the long end trough the middle before you tighten it."

"Shut up! If you would just stop twitching all the time we would be done by n... ah shit!"

"I told you this was wrong you moron!"

"You're the one who asked me for help, remember? Hold still, I'll try this one more time."

"Try not to strangle me, would you?"

"Oh for heavens sake!" Spoony threw his hands up in frustration and sat down in his computer chair. "I'm gonna look up a tutorial video on this. Why do you have to wear that damn tie anyway?"

Insano stepped closer to watch over his shoulder before he replied. "I would rather go there in my own cloths." Spoony moaned.

"You can't go to a Blind Date like that! Didn't we have this conversation already? But, come on, a tie? Seriously? Just grab a T-shirt or something." The Gamer didn't bother to turn and look, instead he skimmed over the results that his search engine suggested, clinking on a link that sounded promising. Insano on the other hand just shook his head. "I don't like T-shirts. I need long sleeves and pockets. And I can't wear a suit without a tie."

"You could wear a fly."

"Do you know how to do them?"

"Well..."

"I thought not."

Spoony shrugged and closed the now finished video.

"All right, I think I remember the trick now. Let's get this done already."

A few moments later Insano found himself in front of a mirror making sure he looked presentable.

Spoony stood in the door, arms crossed.

"You know, it is really weird to see you without your lab coat and all dressed up like this instead. If it weren't for the googles I wouldn't believe this is actually you."

"As much as I hate to admit it: I agree with you. I could be working on my new invention right now." He sighed which caused the gamer to grin in return.

"See, this is why I am really looking forward to you going on this Date. I won't need to worry about you testing your stuff in my house or you attacking other people all night long. Still, I can't believe your son arranged a Blind Date for you for fathers day. How did he do that?"

Now it was Insanos turn to grin. "How? My son is a genius like me! This is no problem for him!"

"Okay...let me rephrase that. Why did he do that?"

There was a pause.

"He means well" Insano said finally with a defensive tone to his voice. The scientist adjusted his googles and Spoony decided not to dwell on this subject, noticing how uncomfortable the other one seemed. Over the years he had learned not to pressure Insano when he got like this. When backed into a corner this man could come up with some really dangerous things. And even tough he desperately tried not to show it, Spoony knew that the other one was really nervous about this whole thing as it was, there was no need for him to made it worse.

He scratched his head. "Then why don't you go show yourself to him now? I'm sure he wants to see you before you go. And you better do it now or you'll be late."

"Right, right."

Insano shoved Spoony to the side as he passed the door. "Oh, and by the way: Don't you dare tell this to anyone, do you hear me? Otherwise I will personally make sure that you will regret if for years to come!"

Spoony rolled his eyes but said nothing else. As he watched Insano calling out for his son he couldn't help but chuckle at the tough of Insano trying to impress his Date with talking about his work. He couldn't wait for the his housemate to come back and tell how the whole thing went. It was going to be fun, he was sure.
