It's a Date! {Dinner; Maven}

[Nicolette]

Two days had passed since the promise had been made that Sven Carlisle would take his boyfriend, Matthew Fletcher, out on a date somewhere. The younger of the two had been surprised when his roommate had burst out of his bedroom that Saturday morning and said they should go on their date that evening. Matt hadn't expected Sven to have their date so soon, but it was something that would get the younger's mind off of all the stress that had come up lately.

One night of fun couldn't hurt.

So now he was in his bedroom. He decided to dress semi-casually, considering they couldn't really let it look like they were going on a date. They had to act like friends just hanging out on a Saturday night... That was the only downside, but Sven was paying for everything, and Matt couldn't turn down a free meal. His eyes looked over his closet before he grabbed an oufit he deemed decent.

It was a dark green long sleeved shirt (one that rivaled his original eye color) worn under a black button-down short sleeved shirt that he wore open. Dark blue baggy jeans were worn on his waist, the top hidden underneath his shirts. His sneakers would do just fine for the outfit. Walking to his desk, he picked up a black wristband and slid it on his left wrist, leaving his right wrist for his black watch. He picked up a brush and ran it through his shaggy black locks, taking a look at himself in the mirror. It was still uneven at the ends and it had grown out to almost his shoulders in the span of a month and a half since he had last cut it. He wasn't entirely sure if he should cut it again, but decided to leave that decision for another day.

Brushing bangs out of fake-brown eyes, he walked out of his bedroom and plopped down on the couch to wait for his boyfriend to be ready. He watched television to pass the time. Nothing was on, but it was something to do.

[Faye]

Today was the day. Sven was going to take Matthew out for dinner and some fun to take his mind off things. Matthew had been through a lot of stress lately so Sven made it his duty to make sure he felt better and could smile again. It made Sven happy to see that lovely smile of his and it would mean they could enjoy a night out together and be a couple... Kind of, not really but still kind of.

Sven was pleased about Matthew's surprised expression when it was announced, it made him feel all giddy inside. So far Matthew only knew about going to dinner at a newly opened restaurant down at the Nogawa Shopping Centre. Sven was glad he found that place on Thursday afternoon while he was walking around, giving Matthew space to be alone. If he hadn't, their date wouldn't have happened so quickly.

As usual, Sven was the last one to finish getting ready. He was unsure of what to wear. He felt like a girl. He sat on his bed, contemplating whether or not to wear his jeans or his other black pants. They looked the same... Ugh. He picked up jeans which were a very dark blue, almost black but still looked blue. He slipped them onto his body, stringing a belt around his waist and walking over to his drawer where he got a pair of socks and put them on. He slid his feet into the most casual pair of shoes he had which were his hardly worn black and dark grey checkered vans. Just before he could find a shirt he heard the kettle finish boiling. He exited his room, topless, and went to make his coffee.

"I'll be ready in a second, just need this..." he said, the last part of his sentence became a little muffled because he had started sculling back his coffee before he could finish.

[Nicolette]

While he watched television, an ad for a jewelry store came up. The store was back in the United States, but it had free shipping to the T'zen Island, so they advertised quite often on television. At the sight at some of the necklaces, Matt unconsciously brought his hand to his chest. Beneath his two shirts, beneath his tank-top/binder, hung a small heart necklace...

His thoughts were broken and his hand fell to his lap as he turned to look at his boyfriend. However, anything he had planned to say was lost as he caught sight of Sven without a shirt. He was tall, thin, but he had muscle that really made him.... very gorgeous. His cheeks turned red and he swallowed hard, trying to focus his mind on something other than the fact that his boyfriend was shirtless.

He turned his eyes to look elsewhere as he spoke. "T-take your time..." He stood from the couch and walked over to the window by the television.

His pack of cigarettes was near empty from all the cigarettes he'd been smoking in the past few days. He had done his best to smoke when Sven wasn't in the dorm, which had been quite a bit in the past two days. There had been a Student Council meeting on Friday and Sven had been out for a majority of the evening on Thursday.

He picked the pack up and slipped it into his pocket, grabbing his lighter as well and slipping it inside his pocket as well. He didn't think he'd need it later, but he never knew what would come up.

[Faye]

Sven was completely oblivious to Matthew's attraction to his body and how he reacted every time he came out into the room without a shirt. Although he would never forget the time Matthew saw him naked... that was embarrassing and he vowed never to turn into a cat or a crow like that again in front of him. And if he did, he would escape to his room.

He rinsed his cup out in the sink and then returned to his room to finish getting ready. He threw on a plain light grey t-shirt and grabbed one of his black jackets to top his outfit off. It had casual yet formal aspects in it which is what he was aiming for. He felt he dressed too formally too much and needed to relax a little. He ran a brush through his dark hair and made sure it sat neatly before he exited his room for the last time. He was now ready. Finally.

"Right, you ready~?" He asked, picking up his wallet and slipping it into his front pocket of his jeans as well as his dormitory keys.

[Nicolette]

Matt nodded as he turned to Sven, walking away from his window to shut the television off. He then joined Sven at the door and looked up at the tall male, his eyes curious.

"Well, lead the way."

He knew little of their date that evening. He knew they were going to dinner, though he had little idea of exactly where they were going. Sven refused to let Matt in on any information, which had left Matt confused and itching to know what his boyfriend had in store for them.

[Faye]

"Okay~"

Sven smiled and lead his boyfriend out into the lobby of the dorms, since it was a Saturday night, anyone was allowed out to whatever they wanted until a certain time but it was extended since there was no school the following day. The order and rules were put in place by previous Council members. The whole time Sven wanted to hold Matthew's hand, to feel his warm skin against his own but there were just too many people wandering around.

After awhile they made it to the Nogawa Shopping Centre, Sven had to stop for a moment so he could remember exactly where this restaurant was. "Hmm... This way," He said, half to himself and half to Matthew. A few more minutes passed and they had found the newly opened restaurant. Only around two couples could be seen in there so far. "Here we are~" He said, opening the door for Matthew which would be a little unusual for two people on a casual friend outing. "You pick where you want to sit," The restaurant was nice but not flash enough for you to have to book a table to get a seat.

[Nicolette]

Matt looked over the restaurant. He had been to the Nogawa Shopping Centre only a few times and he had never seen this place there before. It must have been quite new because everything seemed so fresh and clean. He looked around for a decent area to sit and he found a booth that was hidden behind a small barrier that separated a set of booths. It was a secluded place from prying eyes and the waiters and waitresses could still see them to take their order.

It was perfect.

Matt led Sven over and took a seat on one side of the booth. He turned his attention to a young woman who came over to their table, dressed in the restaurant uniform. She had curly red hair worn up in pigtails that cascaded over her shoulders and down her back. Her eyes were bright and warm as she smiled at the two.

"Hello, boys~ I'll be your server today. My name is Kimi. Can I take your drink orders?" Her accent was American, Matt could tell, though he couldn't quite pin where in America she might have come from. She seemed young, though not young enough to be a student at the Institute. He wondered if she was a previous graduate who decided to stay on the island and get a job.

"Ah... ice tea, please." Matt spoke after getting a moment to look over the menu in front of him for drink decisions.

[Faye]

A smile slipped onto the older one's lips, Matthew seemed to like the place which he was glad about. Tonight was all about making Matthew smile again and lift some of the stress from his shoulders. He walked beside Matthew over to the table he had chosen and sat opposite him, immediately opening the menu as he knew one of the waiters or waitresses would be over to assist them soon enough. His eyes skimmed over the drinks, there were so many... Did he was a milk drink? he thought to himself... Or there was a non-alcoholic cocktail... Oh he wanted something fruity instead of his usual iced coffee.

Yep, he was going to get a fruit drink... He turned his nose up at Matthew's choice, he didn't like tea, it was yuck... He looked up at the waitress, she sounded American with that accent of hers. He smiled, "I'll just have a glass of pineapple juice, thanks," He said, looking back down at the menu to try decide what he was going to have to eat and also remember how much money he had... Hopefully enough.

[Nicolette]

Kimi nodded with a smile and headed off to get their drink orders as Matt looked back down at his menu. He wasn't entirely sure what to order. Oh, how the fatty foods were catching his attention. Old habits die hard and he knew he was craving pizza and french fries. He found both items on the menu, surprisingly, and decided that he would get those two items.

He looked up at the man across from him, his eyes curious.

"Do you know what you're going to get, Sven...?"

[Faye]

Sven's red eyes scanned each meal that he could order, he just wanted something to fill him up. Nothing fancy like that large lamb roast thing down the bottom which was rather expensive but sounded like a rip off... he wanted something with a little hint if spice in it but his eyes caught 'Butter Chicken' oh yum... He looked up at Matthew as he asked his question, feeling weird that he would ask that just as he finished figuring it out.

"Yeah, I'm going to get the butter chicken... It says its spicy so yeah, what are you going to get?" he returned the question, a smile set on his lips. His meal was rather cheap, actually, he felt proud that he could find something inexpensive but tasty.

[Nicolette]

Matt felt rather foolish for his choice of food, but he wasn't going to back down. He loved the greasy, fatty food. Sure, he was probably going to die in his forties from combining smoking and fatty foods, but he figured it would be the best to die doing something you like. He set his menu down and nodded at the question that had been asked in return.

"A slice of pizza and some french fries." He said just as Kimi returned with their drink orders. She placed the drinks in their proper places and Matt took a sugar packet, opening it and pouring it into his cup before using his spoon to stir it. He picked up a piece of ice with his spoon and slipped it into his mouth, sucking on it as Kimi turned her attention away from Matt's mouth to speak to Sven, a pink blush on her cheeks.

"A-ah, have you decided on what you're getting to eat...?" She took down his order as he repeated it to her and then she turned to look back at Matt, who had bitten into his ice cube, crushing it down and munching it before swallowing what remained. He brushed some bangs from his fake-brown eyes, looking up at the girl and repeating his order to her. "A-alright, I'll be back with your orders soon~" She said quickly before hurrying off.

[Faye]

Ah, his meal was cheap that was a good thing. He felt bad for thinking like that but he really didn't want to spend all of his money just on their food. The waitress had returned with their drinks, Sven lifted the glass to his lips and took a sip, avoiding the black straw. Half the liquid was gone after he finished. He placed it back down on the table carefully, feeling satisfied. Although Matthew eating the ice cube sent a shiver down his spine, he could never eat ice-cream, ice or anything cold like that with his teeth fully.. But something about it seemed to make the waitress blush.. Heh.

After Matthew placed his order, Sven told her his, "I'll have the butter chicken please~ make sure it's extra spicy," He smiled at her and turned back to Matthew. He could handle spicy food quite well and loved wasabi on sushi etc. But he also liked sweets as well, he was well rounded when it came to food. For drinks, it didn't matter, as long as it wasn't Tea. Definitely not Tea... Once the waitress had hurried off, Sven chuckled lightly, "You should stop being so sexy, you're making the waitress blush."

[Nicolette]

Matt noted the rushed movements of the waitress as she hurried off to get their orders put in. He stirred his tea some more, taking another sugar packet and pouring it into his drink, stirring the tea before he raised an eyebrow up at the man across from him at the table. He didn't seem to understand what his boyfriend meant.

"How did I make the waitress blush?" He asked, letting his tongue roll over the ice cube before he slipped it into his mouth, gently sucking on it as he looked at his boyfriend with curious eyes.

[Faye]

Sven took a sip from his juice, only taking a small amount of the liquid into his mouth, letting it slide down his throat, cooling it down. He couldn't help but laugh again at Matthew's reply, he was so oblivious. Although he did understand why the waitress blushed, what he was doing with that ice cube was insanely sexy even if it did send a shiver down his spine when he heard his teeth crunch against it.

"What you're doing to that ice cube is what's making her blush," He left the bit about it doing the same to him out and just leaned back in his seat. Knowing restaurants, Matthew's meal would turn up first since it was a fast food and easy to cook, his however, required a bit more time.

[Nicolette]

Matt tilted his head to the side curiously and looked down at his ice cubes in his drink, seeming to be considering something for a moment. He blinked before he scooped another ice cube from the cup and ran his tongue over it, just as another waitress walked by, seeming to walk toward the kitchen with her pad of paper as if she had just taken an order. She had caught sight of Matt's tongue assault of the ice cube and stumbled a little as she passed by. She quickly caught her footing and rushed away, giggling as she walked up to another waitress and started whispering to her.

Matt's eyes turned up to look at Sven. "How is me licking an ice cube to get the sugar sexy?" He asked curiously before bringing his lips to gently suck on the ice cube for a moment more, making it a bit smaller, before he slipped it into his mouth using his tongue. He let it move around in his mouth this time, not biting down on it, and waited for it to melt enough so he could swallow it.
