[SILAS SCHMIDT]

So.. This was born from the idea of Stella living with Silas. And I imagine that Silas wouldn't be fond of Stella dating, being the overprotective guy that he is. So basically it's Eddie picking up Stella for their first date.

Stella's Date Outfit

---

"Stella! What the hell are you doing in there?" Silas banged on the bathroom door, rolling his eyes.

"I'm getting ready for my date! So quit it!"

The answer came as a shock to Silas, who had never seen Stella do anything slowly, besides homework. She had gone out before, and it never took her this long. So what exactly was so special about this date?

Stella finally emerged from the bathroom. He was just about to start up with the teasing, when he raised his eyebrow at the sight of her. Anyone that knew Stella knew that she was a very colorful person, both in personality and style. She tended to clash a bit. Today, she mixed colors again, but it seemed more deliberate. Her long hair had been carefully curled and in between the ginger strands, she had fixed some purple curls as well.

She looked at him, obviously waiting for a response. When it was clear that he wouldn't be any help at all, she rolled her eyes in exasperation.

Silas was busy struggling with something. This little girl -and despite how young he was himself, he'd always think of her as such- was going on a date. And it was with a guy that she must really like, to be making such an effort to impress him.

"Silas, Eddie's going to be here any minute. Think I can borrow some cash, just in case?"

Stella's puppy eyes didn't do much for Manhattan, but they worked wonders on Silas. He pretended to be frustrated as he took his wallet out and gave her some bills, but ended up smiling at the beam on her face.

"Wait.. Eddie?" Silas's thick brows furrowed when he recognized the name, "Isn't that the kid who you hated? The one that you kept getting paired with in class and complained about constantly?"

His roommate's cheeks turned a pink color and she determinedly avoided his eyes.

"Yes."

"And.. you're going on a date with him?"

Silas wasn't sure his facts were straight.

"Yeah," Stella looked over at Silas and sighed, "Don't be a party pooper, Sy. I'm excited, okay?"

There was a knock at the door and Stella positively lit up.

"That's him. I'm going to get my bag. Be right back!"

She slipped out of the room and Silas went to the door and opened it. A teenage boy with dark hair stood there. Silas blatantly looked him up and down. He seemed well put together. But sometimes it was the quiet ones to watch out for. His eyes narrowed at Eddie. The boy gave him a somewhat confused look and Silas stuck out his hand. Eddie shook it, wincing at the pressure Silas applied.

"So. Eddie, huh? I've heard about you. Come on in."

Silas let him inside and the boy stood awkwardly as they waited for Stella.

"So.. She.. she lives with you?" Eddie asked, looking a bit awkward at the other young man's death stare.

"Yeah, she does."

Silas stepped nearer to Eddie, his voice low so that Stella couldn't hear from the other room.

"Stella is like a little sister to me. So you know that awkward and terrifying talk that you see in movies between the father and the boyfriend? Pretend we've had one of those, and you can guess how I feel about you right now. It's simple, really. If you look at her wrong, I'll castrate you."

He stepped back just in time for Stella to come back into the room.

"Sorry! I couldn't find my bag. Ready to go?"

Eddie gave a stiff nod and Stella stood on her tiptoes to hug Silas.

"I'll be back later."

"Call me if you need me, okay?"

Silas caught Eddie's eye and a devilish smile grew on his face.

"You kids have fun."

[STELLA HINES]

Stella Hines was going on a date.

And she wasn’t going on a date with any regular guy (okay, well…).

She was going on a date with Eddie Brooke (and sure, she teased him for being ‘boring,’ but he was the best boring person she’d ever met, not that he or anyone else would ever hear her say that).

The bathroom had been hers for at least forty-five minutes now, which was already thirty minutes longer than usual. She’d never put this much work into her appearance for a boy. Jesus, was this what girls did all the time? Never before had she cared for her hair to be curled just right, or her makeup applied just so, and she had never in her life bothered with matching. A banging on the door startled her so much that she nearly stabbed herself in the eye with the mascara brush. When she answered Silas, she wasn’t surprised to hear the edge in her voice. God, was she really that nervous??

Stella freed her hands of any beauty products and stepped back from the sink, checking herself in the mirror. Yes, okay. This was fine. She’d picked the least bright hair extension she owned, and when she’d put together her outfit, she’d actually tried to dress like a normal person. And if Eddie Brooke didn’t appreciate all her hard work, he could go to hell (but not really). Letting out a long breath through her glossed lips, Stella opened the door and stepped out.

When her roommate simply stared at her with a raised brow, she gave him an irritated sigh and rolled her eyes. Well, so much for an opinion. Still, she could have been living at home, where her mom would have harped at her to wear something nicer and to lose the ridiculous earrings and couldn’t she just please wipe her face clean so mummy could fix it for her?? and just thinking of her smother was stressing her out.

The puppy eyes she gave Silas when she asked to borrow some money didn’t fail. In fact, they were successful 9/10 times and the one time it usually didn’t work was when her requests were extra ridiculous. When he paid up, she gave him her brightest smile, truly thankful to have such a great roommate. Seriously. She’d hit the jackpot. How he put up with her laziness in anything to do with cleaning and cooking was beyond her, but she was fun and she never said no to videogames, so!

Stella would be lying if she said she hadn’t blushed at that. Still, better to hear it now rather than later. Though… she was sure she’d hear it later, too. It hadn’t been a secret that Stella and Eddie hated each other. His skepticism wasn’t helping and she sighed, looking back at him. Yeah, Stella, telling him you’re excited is going to help. There was a knock at the door and she jumped before throwing him her biggest smile yet. Leaving him to answer it, she ran out of the room to grab her bag.

If anybody asked her, she’d tell them very vehemently that she hadn’t given herself a pep talk. It just wasn’t… Okay, so she was kind of over the top, and guys thought she was crazy, so first dates tended to be the end of the line for her, and she had really high hopes for this one, AND SHE WASN’T GIVING HERSELF A PEP TALK, OKAY?! Giving herself one last look over in the mirror, Stella took a very deep breath, held it for five seconds, and let it out slowly. Okay. Go time.

Bag in hand, Stella headed back out to the front room, where her roommate stood beside her date (her date, squeals!). Eddie always dressed nicely than most boys she knew, but he looked especially great today. She shot him a smile that was somehow equal parts shy and teasing and sweet. Stella stood up taller to hug her roommate goodbye, muttering in his ear, “you’re the best,” before stepping away and taking Eddie’s arm. Pft. Stella gave Silas a look that said, please, I’m the very definition of fun. before finally giving Eddie her complete and full attention. “Well, let’s go, shall we?”
