Leo Sullivan
Leo Sullivan must have had some sort of superpower in which he easily pissed off his closest friends. Things between himself and Thomas still remained just as rocky - if not even more so. Despite being told on several occasions he should try reaching out, he hadn't listened in the slightest. He still felt as if he was doing all the work since he reached out last time. A misunderstanding had ruined their relationship and now all they were were strangers with memories. It hurt Leo to think about, but at this point, the ball was no longer in his court. He had come to the conclusion that Thomas needed to make this next move. The next person on his list was Natasha, who he felt was the only one who had any right to be pissed at him. Despite all the signs - the fancy setting, Natasha dressing up nicer than usual - the whole date thing had gone right over his head. Considering he never thought of Natasha as more than his best friend, it was easy for him to ignore the signs. After the dinner with his family, it was clear he was just an idiot when it came to women period. Realizing his mistake, he set out to make it up to her. He wasn't expecting her to accept his date offer, but he was definitely relieved when she had.
Aliana and Rhiannon were trying to give him ideas of where to take Natasha, but he shot them all down. None of them felt authentic to him and therefore didn't warrant him trying. While Ali had given up, Rhiannon had been more persistent, not wanting her stupid brother to screw up yet again. The young girl loved having Natasha around and she wasn't about to let her brother ruin it. When Leo told her what he had planned, Rhi had tried her best to talk him out of it. "A beach picnic?! Are you crazy?" Despite finding the idea ridiculous she was helping him pack the basket Ali got for him. "That's not romantic. Sand is going to get everywhere." He shook his head, looking through their cupboards for champagne glasses. "Will you shut up? I'll have a blanket and it's not like we're eating real food. It's just champagne, that strawberry sponge cake mom made for me, and a few other desserts. Hey, when you put it in there, make sure it doesn't get messed up." He ordered. Rhi rolled her eyes and did as told. "Ugh, beach picnics are so gauche and not romantic. Why can't you be like the guy in 'It's a Wonderful Life'? He offered his girlfriend the moon. Said he'd lasso it and everything just for her." She carefully put the cake off to the side before loading everything up. Leo ignored her, softly pushing her out of the way to close the lid to the basket. "Why can't you be like the little girl from 'Balto'?" He said, walking towards the front door. "The sick one? She nearly died at the end!" Throwing on his jacket, he opened the front door and smirked at her. "Exactly. Tell mom and dad I'm gone." She frowned before slamming the door behind him.
Leo knew his mother and sister wouldn't understand why he didn't just want to make reservations at some restaurant. Dinner was nice and he would take her out any other time. But his picnic idea with just desserts and champagne reminded him of when they were younger, always sneaking sweets and alcohol. It was much more thoughtful than just making a reservation at some fancy place. Plus with this, he was able to get out of wearing something stuffy. Leo made sure to leave enough time for the two of them to catch the sunset, hurrying over to the McCarthy residence as fast as he could. He was sure she would still be angry and made sure to bring out the charm as he knocked on her door.
