It's a 'Date'! {Klaustopher}

[Nicolette]

After leaving the school, Christopher Parker sped off down the trail that led into town. He rarely ever moved fast, but he was quite excited to spend some time out on the town with someone other than his darling sister. He came up on the complex and went inside, taking the elevator up to the eighth floor.

He wandered off to his apartment and unlocked his door, pulling it open and throwing his work bag onto the couch. He was suddenly glad that Klaus hadn't come back with him. His apartment was pretty messy with random articles of clothing, soda cans, empty chip bags, computer cords and chargers, cell phone charger, video game cases and controllers, and other various stuff.

He walked back to his bedroom and pulled his over shirt off, his tank top following shortly after. He opted for a loose black t-shirt and his baggy jeans he'd been wearing before. His belt was still as tight as before, holding the material at his thin hips. He walked to his bathroom and pulled his lighter from his pocket, reaching up to light an insence stick he'd just pulled out. It was such a delicious scent of red spice which often left its scent on Christopher.

He took his hair out from its ponytail, combing it out before pulling it back into a ponytail. He examined himself in the mirror before shrugging and taking his insence stick. He carried it from the bathroom into the main room, and moved it around the living room so it would make the room smell nice. He then placed in his ash tray, so when it was done burning, he wouldn't have to clean up and he wouldn't have to worry about it burning his apartment down for some reason.

He grabbed his work bag and shuffled through it, taking his wallet and placing it in his deep, back pocket. He then reached into his front pocket and took out his PSP, staring at it for a moment. Well... The kid better be interesting. He set it on the coffee table and turned away, leaving only his phone, wallet, and lighter in his pockets. He reached into his work bag and pulled out one last item: His box of cigarettes. He never knew if he'd need them or not.

And so, he was finished.

He grabbed his jacket and left the apartment, locking the door and shoving his keys into his pocket. He headed back to the elevator and headed back down to the lobby. He bounced out and walked to the front, heading out to the front to either look or wait for Klaus.

[Kuu]

It didn't take too long for Klaus to get to his dorm, and he was happy to see that his roommate (who he barely ever saw, thank goodness) wasn't there, that meant that there was no chance that he would be asked where he was going. Not like it would be too much of a problem, he would just lie, because what normal student decides to go out for food with their teacher?

Upon entering the dorm, Klaus switched bags, though he took his phone and MP3 out and into the messenger bag he was going to be using now. Hm...he was told to change while he was at it...

And so Klaus decided to just change into his normal, favorite clothes. His white shirt, blue tie, vest, blue jacket, his brown-ish pants, and his black shoes along with his favorite item: his beloved blue hat. Eh, yeah, it was a little bit on the formal side and maybe a little out of place, but a lot of people dressed weird...like those lolitas in Japan.

Klaus was in and out pretty fast, not really bothering to do much else; the dorm was already pretty clean and organized so that things could easily be found (and Klaus sure as hell needed that when he was staying up at ungodly hours doing extra work).

And so, Klaus left the dorms, walking pretty fast because he wasn't sure if he would get lost or not while he was looking for the Apartments. Luckily for him, he found them pretty easily...now there was just the problem of finding Mr. Parker (it would probably be a good idea to catch his first name and figure out if it was okay if Klaus called him by his first name outside of school...but it wasn't like they'd meet up outside of school that often, right?)

After a few seconds of looking, Klaus caught sight of his teacher and he actually smiled as he walked up to him. "Hey there, Mr. Parker. You ready?"

[Nicolette]

Christopher shoved his hands deep in his jacket pockets and hugged the material around him. Sure, it was April, but there had been some weird weather lately, which led to cooler evenings and nights. He leaned up against the main sign outside the complex and waited for his 'date' to arrive.

He blinked and looked over as he heard his name called out. He let out a groan and stepped toward Klaus, placing his hands back on the boy's shoulders and bringing his forehead to meet Klaus's shoulder.

"Christopher..." He breathed before he laughed a little before standing straight and patting Klaus's shoulders with a smile. "Outside of the classroom, the name's Christopher. Or Chris. Whichever floats your boat."

[Kuu]

Klaus stood up straight when Mr. Parker placed his hands on his shoulders and placed his forehead on his shoulders, Klaus could feel his breath catch in his throat, and the butterflies acted up again. What was with that...?

...A-ah! Klaus relaxed when Mr. Parke - Christopher, he corrected - told him his first name. Okay then, now he could feel less awkward about his name. Good thing he didn't have to ask for his first name...because that would just make him feel silly, especially if Christopher actually said his first name on the first day of school. Klaus wouldn't know because he wasn't paying any attention on that day.

"Kay then, Chris," Klaus said, collecting himself rather quickly and switching to using his teacher's first name. "Ready to go?" He repeated from before, the smile still on his lips.

[Nicolette]

Christopher's breath caught in his throat for a moment at the sound of his first name coming from the younger male's voice. It caused a... nice shiver to run up his spine. A smile slid onto his lips and he nodded as he shoved his hands into his pockets, turning to start walking.

The duo made their way down the path to town. He decided there was a nice place in the Dining Spot that they'd both enjoy. They served excellent tea and their sandwiches were pretty kick ass. It wasn't long before they made their way into the large strip that was the Dining Spot.

The shop was of decent size and had a few really nice places for people to sit. The hostess smiled kindly and led them to a table near the back. Christopher blessed his luck and held out a chair for Klaus to sit in, smiling sweetly before he moved over to sit in his own chair. The hostess looked a little flustered, but giggled and told the duo that their waitress would be by soon.

Christopher nudged Klaus's menu toward him, sitting back and waiting patiently for the darling young girl to come take their order. He knew exactly what he'd be getting to eat.

[Kuu]

Klaus raised his eyebrow when Christopher held out a chair for him, what in the...did he look like a girl or Christopher's date?! Nevermind that, Klaus decided to just swallow his pride and take the seat, though the sounds of the hostess giggling...eh...what was she thinking? ....She couldn't possibly think they were a couple, right?!

Mentally sighing, Klaus just brushed it off and took the menu. Looking it over, Klaus was pleased to see the tea selection...and there were some nice, not really heavy dishes. Good, Klaus didn't like to eat too much in one sitting...not like he ate much at all.

But still, Klaus was compelled to ask, "...so, do you have any recommendations?" It would be nice to know if he was thinking about ordering something disgusting, after all.

[Nicolette]

Christopher raised an eyebrow at the question before he glanced down at the menu. He hadn't really looked at it in a while, but he knew the general gist of what was on it. He enjoyed drinking Ying De Hong Black Tea, so he would definitely be ordering that. And as for the sandwich, he had already decided during their walk that he was in the mood for a Cold-Cut sandwich on Italian bread, with the simple lettuce, cucumber, and mayonaise filling.

"The cold-cut sandwiches are pretty good. I prefer Cold-Cut Honey-Smoked Ham, and they make a pretty kick ass sandwich outta that." He smiled, sitting casually in his chair as he made motions with his hand as he spoke. "And they have, like... Almost any tea you can think of, and since you like tea..." He trailed off, his cheeks warming up slightly.

[Kuu]

Hmm..okay then. He knew what he was going to get then. An Italian sandwich and some nice Masala Chai Tea with milk and one sugar. Yeah, he knew his tea more than his sandwhiches.

"Ahaha, is that why you picked this place? How thoughtful of you," Klaus said, a smirk gracing his lips. "It's almost like you're trying to impress me."

[Nicolette]

Christopher felt his cheeks warm up even more, a soft pink color brushing over his cheek bones as his eyes widened just slightly at the accusation... Which was pretty much true, if the man thought about it.

But why did he want to impress Klaus? He'd hardly formally known the kid. For three months, Klaus was nothing more than an ordinary student in his classes... But since that day he'd caught the boy listening to music during his lecture, a new door had opened up.

Klaus was... a cute kid. His personality continued to baffle the man, but in a way that kept Christopher wanting to see more of the boy, to know more about him... Which was weird. It was different... but not all that bad.

"W-well... are you impressed....?" he asked hesitantly.

[Kuu]

The more Klaus kept on talking to Christopher, and the more that he flirted, the more...cute (not exactly the right term, but it was close enough) he was finding his teacher to be. Christopher was obviously a flirt, that much was obvious, but when Klaus was able to hit the right buttons he could turn the teacher into a surprised, almost nervous, boy.

It was pretty funny, but it also made Klaus...kinda...feel weird. Christopher probably didn't know it, but he was making Klaus want to be closer to him - with that scent and those good looks and that damn flirting!

However, Klaus wasn't going to show those feelings, at least not directly. He'd see if Christopher could pick on to subtle hints and flirting. Keeping his smirk his face, Klaus lowered his menu. "We'll see when the food comes out, but so far, I'm pleased with our date, Chris," Klaus said, putting emphasis on the word "date" simply to see the reaction he got.

Was his teacher possibly gay? And if so, did he think that Klaus was good looking? It was a pretty funny thought.

[Nicolette]

Christopher felt his cheeks burn at the word 'date' and he fumbled for something to say. Oh, how in the world did Christopher get himself into this? Of course, he didn't mind that it was a date... So long as he kept in mind not to do anything that could get him in trouble.

Friends could go on dates, right...?

Before he could say anything in return, the waitress finally showed up and smiled down at her two guests. "Welcome to Tearra's. I'm your waitress, Crystal. Do you two know what you'll be ordering?"

[Kuu]

Klaus laughed at Christopher's reaction, ahhh, how he loved getting reactions like that from Christopher. It made the teacher that came off so mature and put-together so cute!

Klaus was a little annoyed when the waitress came over, but didn't let any of it show as he looked up at her, replacing his smirk was a charming and polite smile. "Ah, yes. I'll have an Italian Sandwich and some Masala Chai Tea with milk, please," Klaus said, and then he looked back over at Christopher.

[Nicolette]

Christopher kept his eyes on Klaus for a moment longer before clearing his throat and picking up his menu, holding it out to the waitress, who blinked and took it. He then turned his blue eyes to look up at the girl, an equally charming smile sliding upon his lips.

"I'll take Ying De Hong Black Tea and the Cold Cut Number 6 Combo with lettuce, mayonaise, and cucumber."

The girl gave a small nod as she wrote the two orders down and her cheeks warmed up a little as she turned to smile at the two charming men in front of her.

"I-I'll be back with your tea in just a m-moment..." She said before she giggled and scurried off.

Christopher raised an eyebrow as she left before he turned his eyes to gaze at the younger male across from him.

[Kuu]

Klaus laughed a little under his breath, ah, he loved having that kind of affect on people.

"The women here certainly seem easy to please, don't they?" Klaus said, and he glanced around...hm, no one he knew from school...well, no one in his classes that he knew of, was in here. That was good, it would be weird to have someone seeing him having a meal with the History teacher. "But we are two good looking guys, so that definitely has something to do with it," he added, with that little subtle flirt that he had started to take a likening to when around Christopher.

[Nicolette]

Christopher smiled and let his chin rest in his hand before reaching out with his other hand to tap to tip of Klaus's nose. "More like you're really adorable and the girl's can't help but fall all over you." He grinned and gave a wink.

Yeah... No use in stopping himself from some harmless flirting. Klaus seemed to be flirting with him, though he wasn't entirely sure... Besides, why would this adorable creature be flirting with him? He was twenty-four years old, been laid by more people than he could remember, but never once in a stable relationship... Damn, he was a mess.
