[ hal's been waiting for this for a long time. or at least, ever since he heard that rose was setting dirk up on a blind date. dirk, who had been who jake had chosen despite both twins having a crush on him forever, and then they didn't even stay together. they broke up. dirk doesn't deserve this blind date, obviously, even though hal feels a little bad for his subterfuge. only a little.
dirk already had his chance with a hot boy. hal deserves this.
since they're identical, it's not hard. he just never tells dirk where and when the date is set, and goes instead. rose probably clocks him on the way through his convoluted planning, but she never stops him, so it's not like she doesn't in some way approve.
which is how he ends up at one of those subdued sort of fake speakeasy joints just after sunset on a wednesday night because things are quieter then and dirk likes quieter. hal likes quieter too, and neither of them drink, but it's a good first date place because there's atmosphere.
there's a table at the edges of the room that hal sits at to wait for his date to arrive. the only difference between him and dirk are eye colors, and it's not like john would know what each of their eye colors were for a blind date even if hal wasn't wearing the shades that keep anyone from knowing which is which on a nightly basis.
what's the point of being a twin if you're not going to fuck with people?
anyway, everything is going according to how he planned it, though it's oddly complicated. it's fine. he doesn't mind. ]
