[Yael barks a laugh. He can hear the disbelief in Yuui's voice, but he's quick to pipe up, shaking his head.]

It's nothing super fancy. Don't get your hopes up too high.

[So he says, but Yuui will see with his own eyes soon enough. Yael extends his hand, wiggling his fingers.]

[fluorite]

Well, you know that fancy isn't too important to me anyway.

[ As long as Yael has put thought into it, that's all that Yuui really cares about.

He takes those wiggly fingers and intertwines them with his own. Blowing a quick kiss to Mokona, he leads Yael out of his apartment. ]

I'm excited, though.

[ It shows in the way he walks, too, with a little bit of a pep in his step. ]

[weaseled]

[Heh. Cute. Yael grins, allowing Yuui to lead him right up to his car before pulling open the door for him.]

Yeah? Want to guess where we're going?

[well you can BET IT'S NOT MEXICAN FOOD SINCE A CERTAIN SOMEONE RUINED IT FOR HIM]

[fluorite]

[ Yuui hops in the seat of Yael's car, immediately making himself comfortable as he stretches out his legs. ]

Italian?

[ He'd make the joke about it being Mexican food but it's probably too soon...

He turns to Yael the moment he gets in too, waiting for the car to turn on before immediately turning the radio to a pop music station. ]

Japanese? American? Egyptian?

[weaseled]

[God, of course Yuui would choose to put on pop music. Yael doesn't complain, exiting the complex and heading for the highway.]

Close. Ever had Mediterranean?

[fluorite]

[ Yuui makes up for it by a well-placed hand on Yael's thigh, at least, his fingers lightly brushing against the fabric of his pants. ]

I've had kebabs, but I haven't really delved into it much. You'll teach me all about it, won't you?

[weaseled]

[He reaches down to lace his fingers between Yuui's, squeezing his hand.]

Of course. Just don't expect a ton of vegetarian options.

[fluorite]

[ He squeezes back, crossing his legs in his seat so he doesn't wiggle around in excitement. That would be a little bit embarrassing, even for someone like Yuui. ]

Oh, don't worry. You know how much I like meat anyway, so I'll eat whatever you pick out for me.

[ Yes, he expects Yael to pick something out. He'd like to learn what the other man enjoys eating, after all. ]

[weaseled]

You said it, not me.

[He'll save the sexual innuendo for after the meal. As they make their way through early evening traffic, Yael tips his chin towards the coast.]

How often do you go to the beach?

[fluorite]

[ He expected Yael to grip onto that sexual innuendo and never let go. What a shock that he doesn’t.

Yuui turns his head where Yael gestures, humming softly in thought as his thumb brushes along the back of his hand. ]

Not very often. Do you? I know you like the outdoors.

[weaseled]

[They disappear into a tunnel and the coast disappears along with them, but seeing the beach with Yuui at his side feels different. Inspiring, in a way. How long has it bee since he's done more than gaze wistfully at the beach from beyond his car window?]

Not as often as I used to. It's hard not to miss it.

[fluorite]

[ Yuui turns back in his seat, watching as the light from the entrance of the tunnel grows smaller and smaller. ]

Let's make a stop on the way back. The beach is pretty at night, isn't it?

[weaseled]

Hm?

[Really? Yael looks at his bum leg as if to say you sure this is the guy you want to stroll on the beach with?]

If you're not expecting to go too far, that's fine, but don't let me hold you back.

[fluorite]

Sheza.

[ Don't piss him off!!

He has half a mind to smack Yael's leg, but they're still holding hands and he refuses to let go. In fact, he gives Yael's hand a little squeeze. ]

I don't care about how far we walk along the beach. I don't care about swimming or running or doing any of that. You miss it, so I want to go, even if that means we stand near the ocean the whole time.

[weaseled]

[]

Come on... Don't get so uptight. We're on a date, you know.

[CUT HIM SOME SLACK, but ah... Yuui's henpecking goes a long way, as it turns out. Behind every stubborn bastard is an even more stubborn bitch.]

Sounds like a plan. The beach is cold at night, so stay close. Got it?

[fluorite]

What, are you afraid I’ll shiver out of existence?

[ He laughs, but he squeezes Yael’s hand. His acquiescence certainly seems to brighten Yuui’s mood almost immediately. ]

You don’t have to tell me to stay close. I was going to do that anyway.

[weaseled]

Nah. I'm afraid I'll break our agreement and hold you.

[He wouldn't let Yuui get anywhere close to shivering out of existence. Still, maybe he should? Look at this smug motherfucker, easing up the instant he gets his way. If only Yael weren't so hopelessly infatuated with him..............]

[fluorite]

Well, I’m not having sex on a public beach, if that’s what you mean.

[ He gives Yael a look out of the corner of his eye, a hint of mischievousness present in the way his mouth curls into a soft smile. ]

Holding me isn’t against the agreement.

[weaseled]

[What about a private beach?

Yael keeps that question to himself, but not the mischievous smile that accompanies it.]

You really are a tempter. But I'm sticking to my word, so don't count on any fondling.

[fluorite]

[ Ah, that smile. Yuui thinks he has an idea of what might be making up Yael's thoughts right about now. ]

It's not my fault you're so easily tempted, Sheza~

[weaseled]

Shut it, pot.

[You have no right to call this kettle black.

Pulling into the restaurant parking lot, Yael parks the car and hops out to open Yuui's door and offer him a hand. M'Yuui?]

Hope you brought your appetite. The portions are generous here.

[fluorite]

I did actually.

[ He takes Yael's hand like the dainty little princess that he is, but he's quick to pull it out of his grasp the moment they don't have the car to obscure them easily. ]

But I bet that I'll have plenty for leftovers too.

[ And that is exciting. ]

[weaseled]

[Ah. He can deal with not holding hands in public, but before they get too far, Yael pulls him back.]

You don't want to be seen as a couple in public?

[It's a simple, straightforward question without much emotion attached to it on Yael's end. Still, he knows how difficult it may be for Yuui to answer. Regardless, this is something he needs to know.]

cw homophobia

[fluorite]

[ Yuui immediately shakes his head. ]

That isn't it. I'm not ashamed to be with you, or to be seen with you.

[ He doesn't want Yael to think that for even a second, so he tries to nip that in the bud immediately. ]

I didn't have an easy time before coming to this city. I've been followed, harassed, had things thrown at me... so I avoid doing anything in public without even thinking about it.

[weaseled]

[...Right. Yael doesn't have to worry about any of that as a largely typical man. He had no issue entering into a relationship with another man, but there's no shortage of people who would.

Yael can't change the world. He can't stick his middle finger up on Yuui's behalf when the risk of retaliation looms on his mind. He acquiesces in silence, heading off in the direction of the restaurant.]

I get it. Don't think you've offended me.

[It's only a shame that no one is truly free to be their true, unvarnished selves in the eyes of the world.]

Let's enjoy the meal. We can do whatever we want when we're on our own later.
