Only because your weird ideas that are real make it so believable that there could be!
[ Well, that and he's kinda gullible.
He smiles and gives him a quick smooch back. ]
Okay. I'll get you one of the quick shot ones because you're not gonna like the taste.
[ Like one hundred percent. That's why they have energy shots because a lot of people just don't like energy drinks. Taichi doesn't even like a lot of them. He's pretty sure Hikaru won't. ]
So wait, you're getting me something you know I won't like?
[This seems backwards but Taichi's getting one for himself so he doesn't understand this at all.] Is this another thing you guys do? [A commoner thing is what he means.]
Even average people don't drink them for the taste, you drink them for the energy. It's like how people drink black coffee because they don't want extra fat and sugar, even though black coffee doesn't taste good.
Black coffee is fine if you actually have good coffee.
[His imported beans make the best coffee.] If I had to drink that instant crap every day then I'd be adding cream and sugar even with the added calories.
Unless it's an espresso. A good one. Maybe I should just get us both good espresso...[Not that he can afford good espresso.]
[ He leans forward to put his nose against Hikaru's. ]
If I get this job, I'll get you espresso every morning. Energy drinks only cost like 300yen.
[ They're both Japanese, he's not bothering to think about how much it is in G since Hikaru knows yen... either way, they're both still not doing great monetarily, so he's being responsible. ]
Eh? Really? You'd come every morning with espresso for me? You spoil me~ [He tilts his head, ready to lean in to kiss him properly because there's only been quick smooches and those are nice but if Taichi's busy tomorrow then he should have something to remember him by.
But then he ruins the mood himself and pulls back before he can.]
[ Taichi was ready to lean in for a proper kiss and let Hikaru kiss him breathless, and it results in him whimpering in his throat when Hikaru pulls away. ]
Yeah. We can get it cheaper if we go to the hundred yen store though. I don't know if they have any here though.
[ There's not really like, mass production, so dollar stores aren't really necessary.. ]
[Their relationship is based on Hikaru starting something and then interrupting it whether it be for a good reason or not.
Sorry, Taichi, Hikaru's tripping over the prices.]
That cheap? No wonder nobody likes it. Quality is probably shit. [All he's done is insult the thing that Taichi says he's buying him as he denies Taichi a proper kiss.]
[ Hikaru criticizes a lot about his life, and he doesn't really mind normally. But right now, Hikaru is criticizing his taste instead of kissing him, so he's backing off of both for now. ]
The floor isn't a high-quality chair either and you're using it.
[ He grins as he jokes, then moves to stand up, then holds both of his hands out for Hikaru to help him up. ]
Come on, I'll get you to bed so you don't have to limp around all night.
[Hikaru tries very hard not to be too critical about things Taichi likes but he's also an idiot so sometimes it ends up like this and maybe this is a character flaw he needs to work on.
He grins and rolls his eyes, taking Taichi's hands and letting himself be pulled up and doesn't let go of Taichi's hands right away so he can squeeze them.]
You're trying to get me into bed. [At least he's flirting instead of being an idiot again.]
[ Taichi isn't even offended because he doesn't like energy drinks that much, he just wanted to help wake him up!! He's more offended his kiss was interrupted u_u ]
Y-Yep, that's what I'm trying to do!
[ Taichi turns around once Hikaru is up and pulls his hands up so they're on his shoulders. Determinedly trying to stick to the theme, he holds Hikaru's hands on his shoulders. ]
I would carry you through the threshold to consummate our un-dumping-me but we just got off the floor! [ He would definitely drop him... ] Lean on me so you don't put weight on your cut.
[Taichi's kisses were often interrupted and it isn't fair at all.
He's about to roll his eyes and say it's fine but then he puts pressure on his foot and ow. It isn't fine actually and now he does have to rely on Taichi.
As he's laughing at the fact Taichi just said he wanted to consummate their relationship.] Should I text Kaoru and tell him to stay away for a little longer while we make up?
[ He only knows how to heal surface stuff. He promises to himself to get better at it so next time Hikaru gets hurt, he can heal it all the way. It will probably stop being sore by morning at least since Taichi did most of the work. ]
Hmmm... I think we're supposed to wait until at least the third date?
[ That's what it always is in movies anyway, the acceptable time to start doing Stuff. And Taichi's source for all this stuff is romantic fiction, so. ]
I read fifth date or three weeks? Guess we're running late. [He's joking, absolutely joking, and not thinking Taichi has some kind of timeline in mind. It wasn't like Hikaru was in a rush but it was funny to hit on Taichi and see his reactions.
Once Hikaru's on the bed, he grabs Taichi's hand and kisses it.] Thank you, Prince Charming. [Even if it was Taichi's glass that got Hikaru hurt in the first place but it was Hikaru being an idiot and making him think they broke up that got him in trouble in the first place.]
Three weeks after we start dating or after we know each other? One of those I should be an expert H star by now... [ Three weeks after they know each other.. there's no way that's accurate. ]
A-aren't you the one being charming, anyway? [ Kissing his hand like that.. he's definitely blushing! ]
[Hikaru chuckles under his breath.] Guessing three weeks after we start dating. [But H star. He'll have to remember this.
Hikaru grins and presses another kiss.] Do you remember during our sleepover, when you said you couldn't really see me as charming? Did you change your mind?
[ He can't say the whole term without getting embarrassed, okay! ]
That seems so fast. I mean, n-not that I don't want to.. just... three weeks! I've rented movies for longer than that!
[ Okay, he had a major late fee for it, but nevermind- ]
Hmm... [ Not in the way he meant then though. ] I guess I was charmed the whole time and didn't realize it? [ He grins sheepishly, then leans forward for a smooch on the lips instead of his hand. ]
Gonna assume it's for adults so don't worry. Glad to know you want to, though. [Taichi makes it too easy to tease him and that's just one of the many things Hikaru likes about him.
Even though, at some point, Hikaru's really going to have to tell Taichi he's just joking around and he's really in no rush to go that far yet. But he's got no sense for that so oops.
At least Taichi gets the kiss Hikaru teased a moment ago (finally) as he lets go of Taichi's hand to put it on his shoulder. When he pulls away, he smiles up at Taichi. Not a smirk or a grin, but just a genuine smile.]
[ PLEASE SAY YES, DON'T LEAVE HIM HERE FEELING EMBARRASSED! This is embarrassing! He thought all teenage boys wanted to be naughty with their SOs!!
He sees Hikaru's smile and it's almost like a sense of relaxation comes over him. A strange amount of confidence maybe? He feels good when he sees Hikaru smile like that, which isn't always the case, especially when even this whole time he's had that pit in his stomach that this audition could go the same way so many others had before Mankai. That Mankai really is the only place he could work because they just needed someone and were willing to work with what they had, not because he was ever any good. Somehow, Hikaru's helped him feel less.. anxious? Not just with his smile, of course, but the smile's maybe the moment he realized it. Hikaru really does believe in him, and that helps. He wants to see Hikaru smile more...
Taichi smiles back softly. ]
I should go now. I've got to practice. See you tomorrow, okay?
[Now would be a good chance to completely fluster Taichi and make him flounder but he's nice.] I do. [Which is kind of embarrassing to admit? They haven't talked about anything serious (it's literally been less than a month since they started dating so duh) but this is the first time Hikaru's been serious about that.
It's easier to just focus on Taichi's smile and this moment between them now. Hikaru nods, still smiling. This feels special and he doesn't know why but just how Taichi looks at him and how warm it makes him feel. Taichi makes him happy and he knows he makes Taichi happy even if Hikaru feels like he keeps messing up. But if Taichi can look at him like that then maybe he isn't doing too badly?]
Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow. Try to sleep a litle okay? Unless you want me to do your make-up to cover up dark circles for your audition.
[ And with that, Taichi finally let's go and backs away and closes the door behind him before leaving the inn room to go find his own and get started on that script.]
