Xander had been planning something for a while now quite honestly. He had decided that tonight he was going to get Frost out of the base for a little while so they could spend some time together with out any Team Rocket distractions. He carefully planned it so they they both didn't have to worry about duties in the morning, got the items necessary for the 'night out' then set to doing the hard part. Convincing Frost.
He sat on the couch in some comfortable clothes with his legs up and tucked under him in an Indian style. "Come out with me tonight please?" He asked the other man. It was getting close to ten and and if he wanted this to work then they had to leave soon.

"Eh?" Frost looked up from a sheaf of paperwork with raised eyebrows. "Why, where to, for how long?" he asked, taking the distraction as an opportunity to set down his work, stand up, and stretch. It had been quite a long day, all desk work though and he wasn't really used to that anymore. Usually he was underneath something or other at least once a day, or if not that then fiddling with parts that had been removed from whatever it was. Still, sometimes is was necessary to take a day that involved only papers or computer screens. There had of course been a time when that was a normal day for him, but it wasn't anymore and despite knowing that it was needed the jolt to his routine had him feeling tense.

Xander smiled at Frost brightly and tilted his head a bit. "Because I have a surprise, that's part of the surprise and until a bit after midnight." he said as his smile turned into a grin. Frost looked tense so he hoped that the surprise would be a good one and would help relax his-...Frost. He still needed to come up with a word to describe him even if just in his mind. 'Boyfriend' sounded to kiddish, they haven't done anything yet for 'lover' and 'partner' would get confusing.
"I promise it wont be a bad surprise so please join me Snowy?" He would not add in a cute look. It would be wasted most likely on Frost anyway. Instead he just sat there with an honest look.

A surprise? Frost raised his eyebrows further. As this was Xander it was probably a good surprise, or at least what Xander believed was a good surprise at any rate. "Well I do have a day off tomorrow, I suppose I can always finish this work up then," Frost decided with a nod. "Do I need to wear anything specific or bring anything special?" he went on, wondering what exactly Xander might have in mind. Humm, well he couldn't imagine it was rock climbing or anything like that. Swimming maybe? Mmh, no, surely not at midnight, although thinking about it Dith had once mentioned something about girls and moonlight swims.

Xander had to curb a smug smile when it was mentioned that Frost had the day off, having of course known that and made sure of that. "Something on the nice side that you can move around in but don't mind getting dirty." He said with a slight nod as if confirming to his self that it was the right type of clothes. Then he smiled before bringing up another 'favor'. "Since it is a surprise, you don't mind me driving the way there and blind folding you do you?" He really didn't want to make Frost uncomfortable but it would be hard for it to stay a surprise unless there was a way to keep Frost from finding out while he finished setting up.

This was all starting to sound extremely peculiar. "Well...." Frost's brows knitted in a slight frown, and then he studied Xander intently for some moments in absolute silence. "Alright," he said eventually, "I trust you. Allow me to change, and we can be going." As he spoke Frost moved over to his wardrobe and fetched out a casual suit and a pair of smart but comfortable ankle boots from the rack. "Do you need to change as well?" he quizzed, turning back to Xander. "If so I can meet you down in the garage, if that suits?"

"Thank you Snowy." Xander said with a bright grin. He knew it took trust for Frost to let him do this and he treasured it. He unfolded his legs and got off the couch to stretch slightly before shaking his head. "No, these work well enough, I just need to put on my shoes. I'll meet you down there though as I have to grab some last minute things for the surprise." Like the basket that held the food, drinks and dishes... and the boombox. "See you in a few minutes." He added then grabbed his shoes and hurried out with out bothering to put them on.

“Very well,” Frost nodded as he headed for the bathroom, “I shall meet you in, humm, fifteen minutes.”
For Frost, these fifteen minutes were rather action packed.
Shower, and shave at the same time. Clean teeth: no need to but he always cleaned his teeth when he got out of the shower and his routine had taken quite enough of a beating already thank you so much. Blow dry hair. Dress. Comb hair. Get frustrated with stray hair and re-comb hair. Put on tie. Debate tie. Remove tie. Replace tie. Remove tie. Glare at reflection. Ask Skiron’s opinion, be relieved of tie. Unfasten collar button. Hesitate. Try to reclaim tie without success. Notice thirteen minutes have gone by, give up, return Skiron to pokeball, head for garage.
So it was that fifteen minutes after parting company from Xander (give or take half a minute) Frost entered the garage in a dark blue suit with a plain white shirt, and no tie. He still wondered if he ought to have worn the tie, it matched the suit very smartly and had garrotte wire concealed in it. Still, he didn’t imagine he was going need to garrotte anyone tonight and Xander probably didn’t give a toss about ties so it was probably alright....
Maybe he should have brought it along just in case.
Feeling agitated by the tie problem and the uncertain night ahead, Frost peered around for his companion. Where was he? He’d said fifteen minutes and it had been fifteen minutes he couldn’t see him! His hands were starting to itch but he refused to give into the desire to flick his fingers or tap the fingers of one hand against the back of the other; it was a foolish tic and characteristic of... things he didn’t want to be characteristic of. Anyway, no doubt Xander would be here soon or possibly was already here but out of sight. Flexing his hands just once and carefully maintaining an air of inscrutable calm Frost looked around more carefully just in case Xander was already here....
He should have brought the tie.

It didn't take long for Xander to hop along, yes hop as he was slipping on his shoes as he want, to grab where he hid the supplies they needed. He quickly checked it over to make sure everything was there then took it all down to the garage. The teen felt like he had butterflies in his stomach from how nervous he felt. He hoped everything would go perfect but he knew there was always room for error. What if Frost didn't like the surprise? What if he didn't find it as lovely as most people?
Would his Frost be disapointed with the efforts? These and more worried circled his head as he quickly claimed a car and put the basket and boombox in the back while slipping the blind fold in his pocket. He closed the back door then stood there taking a deep breath to calm down and relax. Everything will go well, and even Frost had to like at least some of his plans so there was no reason to worry.
He turned around and looked at his watch seeing that the fifteen minutes had passed. This brought his eyes up and he looked around for Frost, taking a few steps forward so he could see the entrance. He had been in a spot where another vehicle blocked his vision from the door and vice versa. When he saw Frost his heart beat sped up and a smile came to his face. "Over here." he called out to him.

“Oh, there you are, good.” Firmly repressing the unreasonable stress he was feeling – Irrational! Unacceptable! – Frost walked quickly across the garage to join Xander. On reaching the car his former roommate must have signed out he twitched a very very small smile; it took a great deal of effort but he managed it. Where were they going? What was going to happen? He disliked the idea of being blindfolded, but he had said he trusted Xander and he did and yet... it was difficult. It shouldn’t be difficult. He was being irrational again. He despised himself when he was irrational.
“Are we ready to go then?” Frost asked, flicking imaginary flecks of dust off his suit as he spoke. The sooner they set off the sooner the blindfold bit would be over. It would actually be good for him to make himself uncomfortable now he thought about it. Consider it an exercise in control. Yes, that was alright.

Xander's smile grew slightly in response to Frost's very small smile. He could tell there was something off with the older man and had an idea about what it was. "It's not that far where we are going so you wont have to have the blind fold n for long. And if you want to you can drive on the way back as it wouldn't have to be a surprise then." He said then walked over to the front passenger side and opened the door for Frost.
"Ready when you are Snowy." He replied to the question with a spark of mischief in his eyes as he made a gesture to the passenger seat. Oh he knew that his actions might go one of two ways, they could annoy Frost or they could amuse him. Unless of course it turned out to be a mix of course. But he wanted to do this right so he hoped for the second.

He was quite capable of opening the car door himself, but he suspected that this was supposed to be some kind of gesture that he ought to appreciate. Though he didn't really understand the point of it Frost decided that he did; Xander was doing something he thought was nice, and sometimes it actually was the thought that counted. Perhaps it was to protect him from potential static shocks or something, what did he know of such things?
"Thank you," Frost said, climbing into the car after some moments of regarding Xander in puzzled silence. "Better pass me the blindfold then," he said as he buckled his seatbelt, "I would much prefer to tie it on myself... and of course I promise not to peek. You can trust me to keep my word." No matter how much he disliked it.

The older man's puzzled look made him want to chuckle but he held it in as he heard the promise. "I know I can trust you." Xander said and held out the blindfold in offering. What he meant though was more then just trusting Frost to keep his promise. While he held out the blindfold he glanced at his watch briefly to check the time then looked back at Frost with a grin. "Guess we better get going."

Frost regarded the blindfold with pursed lips for a few moments before taking it and tying it over his eyes. The trust went both ways, but as he had already recently told Xander he trusted him he saw no reason to reiterate. "Very well then, let's get going."

Xander smiled and shut Frost's door for him then speed walked around to the drivers seat. He hopped in, buckled up, turned on the car and started it's trek to their destination. While driving he briefly wondered if Frost would like to talk to distract him from the blindfold but he wasn't sure what to say that wouldn't be just chatter. Instead he left that up to the older man, though it wouldn't take long to get to the spot he had picked out before.
