No Escaping Your Fate [Closed]

[Lord Sesshomaru]

Tsuyoi frowned in thought but dismissed Kouhei's explanation. His laptop was in his backpack so of course he couldn't leave it home. He turned and continued to walk into the crowded sidewalks as more stores revealed themselves. Good to have places to walk to. "Some place simple, but afterwords we can go get icecream if you'd like." he had the urge for icecream. He wasn't sure why. He walked into a small ramen shop. The smell of the food rushed at them with the open door, holding it open and letting Kouhei enter in front of him. He was already thinking on what he would get.

[Birdie]

Kouhei, if possible, brightened. "Really? That's great. I know a really good place." He walked into the warm shop, the scent of food meeting his nose and causing his mouth to water and his stomach to growl loudly. He blushed that deep crimson color. He placed a hand against his slim stomach. Because of his loose shirt he really looked like a teenage girl, a flat chested girl, but a girl none the less.

He smiled somewhat lopsidedly at Tsuyoi. He really didn't know what he wanted. Food was just food after all. "Anou..." he placed his finger against his lips, thinking. "What should I get?" he asked. He looked up at Tsuyoi with his big green eyes. "It all sounds so good." He was so hungry that it really did. And it would taste even better because this man would be here with him.

[Lord Sesshomaru]

Tsuyoi watched Kouhei's reaction and found that this dinner would be more enjoyable then he expected. It was...fun. He moved to sit at a small table, placing down his things as he was able to get his hands on a menu. He placed it flat on the table and waited until Kouhei sat before grabbing his hand and making the boy point randomly on the menu. "Close your eyes, see where it lands."

Tsuyoi didn't use the method, because he always knew what he wanted. But he could see it work. Moving the finger across the menu with closed eyes and randomly choosing an item. He released Kouhei's hand so he could do the method, before ordering his regular shrimp ramen. After that, he watched Kouhei, wondering which item would be ordered.

[Birdie]

Kouhei flushed when his hand was grabbed. Tsuyoi pressed his fingers some where random. He nodded, understanding. But it seemed the elder boy thought he needed more clarity. He laughed, watching Tsuyoi do it. His bright green eyes glittering. Who would have thought this man could be so... playful? He closed his eyes and placed his slim fingers somewhere randomly on the menu. He opened his eyes to find it had landed on... He stuck his tongue out, wrinkling his nose. "Pork..." So he closed his eyes and chose something else. This time he seemed happier with the choice. "Miso. That's better." His slim fingers slid under his chin.

He sighed and dug in his purse for something. He finally found what he was looking for and pulled it out. A hair clip, with a little heart on it. He swept his soft bangs to the side and pinned it out of his eyes. "So..." he said, tilting his head to the side, an interested look on his face "Why shrimp?"

He seemed less... cold? annoyed? than he had inside of the dark room. It was better that way, really. He rather liked seeing this happier side of Tsuyoi.

[Lord Sesshomaru]

Tsuyoi frowned. No pork? Interesting. He looked away, placing his chin on the palm of his hand and his elbow on the table. Even through the playfulness the emotionless facade was still in place. He replied with his gaze elsewhere. Watching one of the waiters bring the food. "It is what I always get." Tsuyoi said simply. He didn't do changes, things were always planned and scheduled. Including food. Why change what he liked? It only confused things when he had to choose between favorites.

[Birdie]

Kouhei liked change, loved trying new things. He couldn't stand having one thing over and over. "Really?" he asked, picking up his chopsticks, holding them between his thumbs and forefingers while his hands were together, like praying. "Itadakimasu." With that said he snapped the disposable chopsticks apart and held them properly. "I need to eat things different. If I ate the same thing, every day, at the same time I think I'd get really bored. Like watching the same movie over and over again."

He pulled some noodles out of the bowl and carefully slurped them up. His eyes widened slightly. "Mmm, this is really good. I've never been to a place like this before. Normally I eat what ever my mum makes. But this is way better..." after a pause he grinned up at Tsuyoi. "Don't tell my mum I said that." He slurped up another noodle, but this one hit him on the nose on the way in. He blinked in surprise and giggled. He used his napkin to wipe off the juice.

[Lord Sesshomaru]

Tsuyoi watched him, even as his own bowl was placed in front of him. He seemed to force himself to look away as he broke apart the chopsticks and began to eat. Cute...he was acting cute. Way too cute. It took a lot of will power to keep his eyes on his food. He gulped down his bite as he spoke. "Why would I be talking to your mother?" he asked, forcing back a smile at the giggle that came from the boy.

So hard to remember...not to like Kouhei. This shouldn't be so hard. He distracted himself from thoughts as he went back to eating his noodles.

[Birdie]

He slurped up some more of the noodles before he replied. "I don't know." Yes, why would he talk to his mother? There was no reason to. They were only friends, and not even good enough friends for him to invite him over. Not to mention he was a girl... sort of, and girls just didn't invite boys over to their houses.

He concentrated on eating his food. He was extremely hungry and not eating was not good for his health. It made him feel sick, and occasionally he fainted. That would be a burden on Tsuyoi. He fainted before and caused the boy problems. But even as he ate he was thinking about the ice cream. He was an addict for sweet things. He couldn't live with out them. He was also thinking about Hatsuharu. He would have to tell him that he wasn't a he... after a couple of dates. He at least wanted a chance to talk to him. He would just have to keep the man from kissing him and such.

His mind was brought back to the present when he realized he shouldn't be thinking about other men when he was eating with the sexiest guy on earth right here. He sat for a few moments, his chop sticks in his mouth and stared at Tsuyoi. Those bright green eyes full of curiosity. Why was he suddenly being so nice? It was really strange. He wasn't going to ask about it though. So instead he asked. "Is it really that good?" he seemed to be extremely fascinated by his ramen.

[Lord Sesshomaru]

Tsuyoi looked back up at Kouhei with the question. Good? What was? Oh, the ramen. He needed to stay out of his thoughts. He tried to think of a good answer. "Sure." he said, and sighed, sipping on the noodles. Even with such a sloppy and messy task, he seemed to make it a more clean action. He swallowed, staring at Kouhei for a moment before he asked his question. "Why did you decide to come with me when you were given the chance to eat with your 'ideal'?" Yes, the boy's ideal man. That Hatsuharu.

[Birdie]

Kouhei raised his eyebrows. Sure? Was that all? He hadn't exactly expected something extravagant but his sure really didn't sound enthusiastic. "Can I taste?" he asked, before he could control his mouth. he blushed and shook his head. "Nevermind." He pulled some noodles into his mouth when he was asked a question. He looked up from his bowl, slurping the bit of noodle into his mouth.

He was a bit, shocked. Wasn't that answer obvious enough. "I had made plans with you first. Wouldn't have been rude to skip out on you? It's not like I can't eat food with Hatsuharu-senpai later." he frowned, the chopsticks resting against his lower lip. Those large green eyes were staring at him again. "Would you rather I had gone?" he asked softly. There was an almost hurt look on his face.

[Lord Sesshomaru]

Of course. Because it was rude. Of course. Tsuyoi shouldn't have expected anything less. The question asked back made him pause. Should he answer truthfully? Should he hurt the boy's feelings just to save his pride? Just to keep Kouhei at a distance, to not say anything that might give away something more?

"I'd rather you stay." The male said after a long mental battle with himself. He stared back at Kouhei, wondering if he would regret the decision to say such a thing. After a moment he couldn't stand himself for saying it and automatically looked down to continue eating. He tried to act like he hadn't said anything at all.

[Birdie]

Kouhei stared in shock for a moment. He had expected an 'of course'. Instead he got this. Slowly a warm smile spread onto his lips. He felt really... happy. "To tell the truth, I really wanted to come. I want to learn more about you." His chopsticks dunked back into the bowel and a few more noodles found their way into Kouhei's mouth.

Why was he really so happy about this? Was it just relief to know he wasn't completely hated? Probably. Kouhei disliked being hated. He wanted to be friends with everyone. So he ate with that cute smile on his lips, too happy to try and make conversation. He didn't really know what to say anyway.

[Lord Sesshomaru]

"There is nothing about me to learn." Tsuyoi said, slightly hesitant when seeing how much his statement had made Kouhei happy. It unsettled him. If only because he liked it too much. He wondered what else he could say to make him smile more? He wouldn't try and see what it would take. Instead he ate a few more bites and was soon done with his ramen.


((short wah))

[Birdie]

Kouhei tilted his head to one side. "Really?" There was always something to learn about people. Their favorite foods, their favorite TV shows, that they liked to do in their spare time. There was a millions things a person could learn, even after years and years of being married. "If you say so." What he probably meant was that he didn't want Kouhei to learn anything. That was all right. It was probably going to be a one sided friendship anyway.

He also gulped down the last of his, sighing contentedly. "That was really good, thanks senpai." The bright smile was back. Kouhei dug in his purse to find his wallet. He wasn't going to make Tsuyoi pay. But it seemed that the girls had broken into his other locker and stolen that too. He sighed, what was he supposed to do now?

[Lord Sesshomaru]

Tsuyoi wasn't sure what Kouhei could learn about him. There was no real secret to him. Nothing interesting. He watched the boy for a moment, noticing what he was doing. "Did you forget something?" he asked, placing his hand into his pocket as he took out his wallet, taking out the money needed to pay as the waiter came up and took their empty plates. He paid for there food before, picking up his things to be ready to go.
