A lot of dates revolve around food - or at least have food in the equation since it's probably a decent idea to not starve, and it's a time that forces two people to sit down together and talk.
[That's just his analysis though. He waves a hand at that and continues to spitball - ]
If you do anything with art, you know he'll love it, because you do. [Sanji sure is a sap!!!!!!] If you still need date ideas for the summer, there should be a festival or two popping up that would be fun for you both. [And he'll keep listing off ideas - ] Night hikes, going to a museum, the theater, the beach...
[ . . . and he just makes a grumpy face toward the end because he realizes
this is a lot more than he would've been able to think up so quickly even a year ago
I know. But that has been... most of our dates. Sanji has been practising his cooking a lot, and while it's something I'm grateful for, it would be nice to do something a little different and not just rely on him to provide the food.
[ Something... different. Something that isn't hanging around Sanji's apartment, cooking and talking. While he wouldn't trade that for anything, it doesn't hurt to mix things up. ]
I have to do something on a par with the chalk art festival we went to. That was... a wonderful date, really.
[ And it was a first date as well. You see the bar he has to surpass here? Yikes. ]
[ - and Baren has to laugh faintly. Not because he thinks it's a dumb idea, rather it's a very good one. and that alone is worth laughing over given how sanji loves to fucking pretend that he isn't some really thoughtful romantic.

ah.]
Take him dancing then.
[that's said with equal amounts confidence]
no subject
[ Y'know. 100/10, Sanji. You nailed it. ]
... Dancing?
[ Abort mission, have you seen the gifs of him in the P5Dan game. He can't really dance all that great, let's be honest. ]
I'm not really a fan of clubs and the like.
no subject
[there's variety in dance, which is nice]
What, you need someone to teach you?
no subject
No, neither. Dancing has never been my forte.
[ So, uh. Yes? Yes he would. ]
no subject
Then you can learn. I can find you a teacher, or teach you for free. Your pick.
Sanj might get a kick out of being your instructor too.
no subject
Tips so I don't step on his feet all the time would be appreciated. But he would absolutely get a kick out of teaching me as well.
[ "Might", Baren says like he doesn't hecking know. ]
