No, that's smoking, or whatever! [ voting, you fucking imbecile ] You can get your permit when you're 16! My mom taught me before she left with the family car, and then on my birthday she got me that motorbike! Whose did you think it was, Sou-chan's?
[ well, i mean, it's blue and not pink or orange or whatever so it could've fooled anyone, really. despite his WTF BITCH CAN'T DRIVE he doesn't seem to mind walking in the least, probably mostly because it means he gets to cling to Rei and lean his head obnoxiously on his shoulder and take up the entire sidewalk so anyone trying to pass by is shit out of luck. ]
Heck, I could probably teach you... but Miki-chan is a really good driver, too. If you learn from him you might not end up driving like a total grandpa!
[ it's really sad when an actual grandpa is less of a grandpa than a teenager ]
Is that the laws here? It was definitely not the same back at home!!! WAIT---A MOTORBIKE?!!
[ Yes, he assumed it was Sousuke's because he could pass as some sort of...biker...dude or something. But Nagisa riding on one of those? That was completely unsafe and he could never imagine riding on one of those or driving them without full body protection! ]
You learned how to drive one of those?! Isn't that dangerous? You better wear a helmet!!!!!
[ He's not even worried about Aikuro teaching him anymore, and he's far more concerned with Nagisa driving dangerously on a motorbike now....not to mention he's not even concerned about the fact that they're literally taking up the entire sidewalk. Everyone's going to hate them in the school hallways now, aren't they? ]
What does "driving like a total grandpa" even mean? If it's slow, then it's safe to drive under the speed limit!
I doooooo wear a helmet! It's a cool helmet, it has goggles on it! And I have one for passengers too, geez.
[ they can eat shit at school too for all he cares. he's still very much in the oblivious to anything and everyone else honeymoon stage, someone could probably slap him backhand with a freshly thawed mackerel and he'd only be looking around to see where Rei is during all this immediately afterward.
it's kind of gross really. get a room you guys. ]
It's actually technically illegal to drive too much under the speed limit. You could cause a traffic jam or even an accident. My mom taught me that, too! So no grandpa driving for you, Rei-chan!!!
Good, and do you also wear elbow pads and knee pads?
[ Who even wears those over the age of 5, Rei?
Anyways, it really is gross since Rei is the same way right now, not really caring about the fact that people are literally having to walk in the road to get around them right now, since all he's looking at is Nagisa at the moment. They are in definite need of a room due to too much grossness. ]
What?! Illegal!??? No it's not! Not if I just go a few under the speed limit! But...you're right about the traffic jam, so I suppose I will go exactly the speed limit as instructed--
Who said I would drive like a "grandpa" anyway, Nagisa-kun?!
[ Obviously, he wasn't expecting to be bumped, so he stumbled a little once he was bumped, but then he gave Nagisa a surprised look, thinking that everyone should wear extra protection when riding a bike like that! ]
What?! That isn't true--and that is definitely not "grandpa-ish" which you keep calling me! [ Cue the adjusting of his glasses here. ]
Besides! When you're driving in a car, for example, if you were to have an accident, the car will take most of the damage, and while you may be sore, it will protect you! But! If you have an accident while riding a motor bike, since it can accelerate to high speeds just as a car can, there is nothing to protect you but the helmet!!!!
[ shrugging vaguely. this is not romantic or airheaded fun conversation, he's getting bored of it already. he either ignores or doesn't even notice as someone coming their way on the sidewalk tries to play chicken with them, only to swerve at the last second and go around them in the street when it becomes clear this wall of gay isn't parting for anyone. ]
Besides, my mom was on the police force and always nagged me to be safe too! But she trusted me, and she knew it would make me look even cooler than usual, so that's why she got it for me! You shouldn't doubt her judgment.
Of course not, and while I trust that you are a safe driver, [ Maybe. ] accidents can happen from the other person at fault!
[ He's so engrossed with this conversation that he really doesn't notice anyone trying to get out of the way as they walk. Rei's only paying attention to Nagisa, and honestly if he wasn't, they would probably be to this steak place already. Gross--get a room. ]
Your mother here? I see, the police force has only the best, I would hope, so of course I will trust her. Just always be cautious, since I know you probably think it's "cool" to go really fast.
[ Now, he notices a few people just walking on the road, and clearly he doesn't make the connection to why they would be walking on the road when there is clearly something else to walk on! Rei gives all of the people passing by strange looks since he thinks that walking on grass would be better than the road, regardless if there are many cars or not. ]
If I crashed, I'd never be able to swim again, and then Haru-chan would die from heartbreak. That's all the motivation I need.
[ haru, specifically, and strictly because he wouldn't be able to swim. luckily it isn't far, even with the two of them having to walk like a couple of lame babies, one of whom can't drive. Nagisa notices the funny look Rei gives a passerby and turns his head, but then decides he doesn't give enough of a crap and just goes back to his obnoxious clinging.
once they get to the restaurant and turn up the walkway to go inside, the general population is much relieved. mr. gorbachev, tear down this gay wall. ]
Mmmm... I can smell the steak sizzling from all the way out here!! Did you decide ahead of time what you're gonna eat? I did! I have a whole course menu planned out!!
Never be able to swim again?!? That's a bit extreme, and let's hope that never happens since you're right! Haruka-senpai would be disappointed in you if you couldn't swim at all since you swim very well!
[ Rei would definitely comment once they got inside, since Nagisa didn't seem to notice the strange people walking around them, but for now, he just needed to actually get inside to be able to say anything.
Of course, he had to break the gay wall and step aside to open the door for Nagisa so that he could enter the establishment, which he was right, it smelled really good. And why did he not think to figure out what he was going to eat beforehand?! He should have looked up the menu online!!! No need to panic, though, since Nagisa was the best at deciding food and knowing what is good, so he had no reason to be too nervous about not having that detail planned out. (Which was probably the only detail he didn't have planned out, honestly.) ]
It does smell nice, but actually I did not decide what I wanted. Once we get the menus, perhaps you could tell me what you have planned--or what you recommend, that too.
[ he grins as Rei holds the door for him, hopping excitedly inside (literally hopping), and he makes sure to give Rei's cheek a fleeting kiss and a thank you on the way to the host's both so they can get a seat. or wait, they don't even need to get a seat if they have reservations, right?? rad, that means they'll get super fast service. sure enough, once he gives the name they're led pretty quickly to a pleasantly secluded booth which he happily slides into, bouncing in his seat. ]
Oh, don't worry! I've never eaten here before, and I haven't seen the menu yet, but there are steakhouse essentials you just can't pass up! So we have to get those, and the house specialties, too. And I bet they have really great appetizers...
[ just how much is this fat fuck planning on eating, remember that paycheck you got not that long ago Rei???? yeah.......... it's going to be gone after tonight ]
[ Rei just shakes his head when he sees the other literally hopping into the nice restaurant, already thinking that the staff will seat them in a private area just solely because they're young and already being a bit loud while walking in. Of course, he didn't help that any since he made a noise of surprise when Nagisa kissed his cheek which also caused his face to go bright red.
At least they were seated quickly enough so Rei didn't have to keep being flustered since he had a menu to look over at the moment--and he was already in disbelief that one steak could cost so much. Goodbye money, but at least his stomach can't hold too much food so Nagisa won't order the entire menu--right? Wrong. Just how much is he planning to order?!?? It's not like Rei didn't have the money or anything, but could Nagisa even eat all that? It would never cease to amaze him how much he could stuff in his tiny body and not get fat. ]
You've not seen the menu--and you're already deciding what you want!? [ Dare he ask if he can even eat all of that??? ]
I'm sure their food is wonderful, but only order what you will be able to eat since I would hate to waste this food since it smells really nice coming from the kitchen. [ and if he's going to pay that much for one steak, they gonna eat every last bite. ]
But that's the great thing about eating out! If you can't finish it all in the restaurant, you can just take the rest home for leftovers!!
[ he'll take back enough food to feed a starving family for a month tbh. he begins studying the menu more intently than he ever has any sort of textbook, dragging his finger down the page and pausing occasionally to give whatever item he's looking at some extra thought. ]
Ooh, potato skins... blegh! Never mind! They put chives on it, those are just as bad as onions, only greener. ...Although... I could just ask them to leave those off... [ he may or may not end up talking through his entire menu-scanning process. it's been known to happen. ] What about the shrimp cocktail for an appetizer, Rei-chan? You like seafood, right? There's twelve pieces, so we can split it.
[ He did have a point, and Rei was just glad that Nagisa wasn't too terribly picky about food to an extent since he knew some people wouldn't eat leftovers at all, so at least that meant no food would be wasted. ]
Of course, most things can be reheated and still taste good the next day.
[ That typically wasn't the case with some foods since he tried to reheat some fries once and they didn't taste good, then again they were from a fast food chain.
Anyway, Rei's giving the menu a thorough look over and he isn't quite sure what to get between just a normal steak or some seafood, which both sounded good to him right now. He was also used to Nagisa talking out loud about what he was going to eat, so it didn't bother him, and often he enjoyed his suggestions since it helped him decide what he wanted sometimes. ]
Hm? Shrimp sounds nice for an appetizer if that's what you want. I was contemplating on getting seafood as a meal, but now I can just get steak instead! I'm also sure they would take off anything you didn't want on those potato skins if you asked. [ He nodded along with his own thoughts. ]
It comes with their faaaamous cocktail sauce, so we really can't pass up on the shrimps, I think.
[ he says it like it's Extremely Logical, nodding matter-of-factly in his own way. he's making informed decisions for the good of this date, alright. and he happens to know that someone at this table happens to enjoy a fine cocktail sauce with their shellfish. ...besides himself. ...so basically both of them. ...but he was thinking of Rei.
before too long he gets tired of looking at his own menu and wants Rei's instead, scooching his way around the booth so he can peek around at the page he's on over his shoulder. ]
There's so many good cuts here! I was thinking the prime rib. I read in the paper that their au jus is so heavenly, the Landlord himself cried the first time he tried it. I mean, it's a lie, I've met him and he has no soul, so he can't possibly cry! But you have to admit, it's a strong selling point.
Really? That sounds great! We'll definitely get that then.
[ He's already excited for the appetizer, but of course he will only eat a small amount of shrimp so that he can have room for his steak that will come later since his stomach cannot hold as much as Nagisa's can.
Rei was looking deep into thought about what cut of steak to get when he sees Nagisa suddenly appear next to him and peeking over his shoulder. He should have expected that, but he didn't which caused him to laugh lightly and shake his head while smiling. Their menus were exactly the same, which meant that Nagisa was just doing this because he got bored or because he wanted to get closer to Rei, and it was probably a bit of both, really. ]
I've not met him yet, but is it really good enough that it could make people cry? [ He's not sure that he's ever had food that good. ] I was considering the filet mignon since I believe it is often referred to the perfect cut of steak, but any suggestions you have other than that would be much appreciated, Nagisa-kun.
[ it definitely is because he wanted to get closer. it all makes sense now, don't it—all the times in the past year (or even two), both at home and here, that he'd dropped what he was doing just to scoot over to Rei? he probably hadn't even realized it himself until now. it's quite liberating that the cat's finally out of the bag, because now there's no element of "what the heck is he doing, why," he can just casually peek his head over Rei's shoulder and snuggle up to him annoyingly, and it's just "Nagisa being gay". totally normal. ]
Oooh... filet mignon is really good! You'd probably like that best, since it's fancy. And maybe if you get it with white truffle oil, it'll taste even more rich and delicious!
[ that is so expensive why are you suggesting this ]
Orrrr... well, tri-tip is always good too, but then you have to deal with the giant bone.
[ Everything makes sense now, but it still always causes Rei to react in some way since he's usually not expecting Nagisa to pop up near his shoulder and snuggle him when he does. But it does make sense now, since even though Nagisa does this to others occasionally, he always noticed him being more "touchy-feely" with him which he never understood. Now it is just "Nagisa being gay since he is his boyfriend now."
He listened to what he had to say and took his advice, thinking that sounded good, but just how much was it? Would he die at this price? (Yes.) He opened his mouth to reply but then heard his comment about "the giant bone" and if he had liquid in his mouth, he would have spat it out. He just...had to word it like that. And now he's laughing!!! Rei attempted to act like he was above laughing at that, when in reality he totally laughed already. ]
Are you sure? That giant bone isn't that hard to deal with. [ Don't laugh, don't laugh.. He might have let out a small laugh at the end of that. ]
We could both get the filet, since that order would make it easier on the waitress. Doesn't it come with one side, though? I'm not sure I'll have any room for dessert if I get that too. [ who do you think you're dating? you're getting dessert. ]
[ he laughs harder when Rei fails to not laugh, turning his head to muffle it into Rei's shoulder before he straight up loses it. it was even funnier when Rei said it. giant bone. ]
The filet's a little rich for me, especially with white truffle oil! I mean, it's good, but there's going to be a ton of food on this table! Especially if one of us orders something with a giant bone in it! [ lowkey cracking up tbh ] And if we get a different dish with a different side each, then we can share all of it and get to taste a whole bunch of different things! Aaaaahhh, now I have to decide on that too... their sides are all so good, if you ignore the boring carrots...
[ flicking that particular item on Rei's menu dismissively, like that's going to shame it into removing itself from the page ]
[ how old are they...laughing in a nice restaurant over "giant bone." ]
Perhaps one of us could get the filet, and one of us could get the giant bone so that we could get the two best cuts here! [ Will they ever stop laughing at this? ]
Good point about the sides--and hey! Carrots are not boring, they're very good for you and maybe I'll just get those since I'm sure you're going to get a side of fries or something with carbohydrates!
[ He's not going to be getting the carrots, is he? ]
