I tell you why we split up and you go silent for several minutes, only to say "sorry to hear that". It's a little hard to concentrate on my food when you're sulking right in front of me.
[ He pops the spoonful of Yael's food into his own mouth though. It's delicious, just as he had expected. ]
You're always telling me to be honest. Don't be a hypocrite.
[hE DIDN'T ASK, but it's fine. It's fine! A bit weird that Yuui still corresponds with the guy, even if it's been years, but whatever. Shut up and let him eat his meat in peace.]
Weird name. Why haven't you talked to him since then? Did you tell him you were getting an internet boyfriend in two years?
[ What's worse, that Yuui thinks the way Yael flings rice out of him kind of endearing or that Yael has done it at all at his big age? Picking individual trains out of his hair, Yuui sighs. ]
We remained friends, Sheza. He would ask me often about my family life before I went to college, and then he'd ask me about my studies. The messages grew further and further apart until we just said happy birthday to one another. Now, we don't say anything.
[ They simply drifted apart, as people who live far away tend to do. ]
[Ah, yes. Submit all mortal possessions to the twink, so says the bible if you read it with your eyes closed. Happy wife, happy life, go ahead and eat all his damn food.
...Mm, but the uncertainty in Yuui's voice makes him smile. Yael leans forward and down, and Yuui might wonder what he's doing until Yael's hand settles on his knee from beneath the table.]
You know I've made up my mind, right? I want you. Even though you eat my food and stick your fingers in my ass, I still want you.
[Mm, nope, not answering that. He did come harder than he's ever come in his life, but Yael isn't ready to accept fingers in his ass as his lord and savior just yet.]
[ He laughs softly to himself, the idea genuinely appealing despite his wariness when it comes to public affection. Maybe it's the contrast to Yael's usual way of carrying himself. ]
But I'll accept a post on the forums. [ Also supremely embarrassing. ] Or, you can tell me what you like about me here. I'll take that too.
[Staring at Yuui and looking for his best features sets something aflame in Yael's chest. He really does find him quite beautiful, but if he's going to continue eyeing him like this, he'd rather do it with Yuui in his lap. Alas, this is neither the time nor place, so Yael pauses to make more progress on his meal so they can get out of here sooner and be alone together.]
Your smile. Your genuine ones, I mean. The ones you give everyone aren't nearly so cute.
[ He simply smiles as Yael stares at him. Usually, Yuui doesn’t like stares, but from Yael? There’s something about having his eyes on him that sets his heart racing.
Ah, he feels like a teenager again. ]
I hope you consider yourself lucky, then. [ He pauses, tilting his head. ] I like your smiles too, even when you’re being a meanie.
[The teenager feeling is mutual. Yael grins, feeling comfortable pouring so much attention over Yuui when normally he prefers to keep his eyes to himself. With Yuui, his attention feels welcomed and invited. Wanted and desired.
Yael's smile pulls wider. It's a natural smile.]
Believe me, I do. You've got beauty and brains to match. You're playful, too, even if you love to get on my nerves.
[ Yuui taps his foot on Yael's calf a few times before lightly rubbing it. It's the most he can do in public, since Yael rejected his little joke of a bathroom offer. ]
Don't act like you don't like that I get on your nerves. You would be bored if I didn't find new ways to bother you every other day.
[ Which reminds him, he should change around the ringtones on Yael's phone... ]

[He sure doesn't feel upset. What's Yuui on about? Nom nom, beef.......................]
Pretty sure I'm fine. Concentrate on your food.

[Mmph. Ah, Greek salad... It's as refreshingly tart as Yael remembers.]
I just don't like the idea that you might still have feelings for the guy. Even if you won't act on them, that annoys me.
no subject
I haven't spoken with Youou in two years.
[ He pauses. ]
Also, we broke up when we were seventeen.
no subject
Weird name. Why haven't you talked to him since then? Did you tell him you were getting an internet boyfriend in two years?
no subject
We fell out of contact. That's all.
[ With a smile, he has more of his food, watching Yael as he chews. ]
Are you jealous?
no subject
Couldn't care less. How's your salad?
[Yael nudges Yuui's plate closer to him. Eat ya damn lettuce, rabbit.]
no subject
[ He loves this place, basically. 10/10 would pick it up on his way to visit Yael.
Taking another spoonful of his salad, he points his utensil at Yael. ]
You're a lot easier to read than you think. It's so obvious that you're mad.
no subject
I don't talk to my ex at all. What's your excuse? Fell out of contact, my ass.

picking trains out of his hair
Gotcha. It's not that I don't trust you — I do — but it's the other guy I wonder about.
screaming and crying
[ Yuui leans forward, stealing more of Yael's food because he feels like he's owed it after having some of it flung at him. ]
I really doubt it, but if he somehow, some way managed to still have feelings for me, he'd see that I was in a relationship and immediately back off.
[ Ah.
He pauses, flashing Yael a sheepish smile, his expression suddenly turning a little shy. ]
If... that's what you still want, that is.
no subject

no subject
Wow, you could at least act like you enjoyed it as much as I know you did.
[ Yuui knows Yael had never come so hard in his life, after all. It was easy to tell. ]
But... I want you too. I hope that it's obvious enough for you.
no subject
It is. It's obvious I want you too, isn't it?
no subject
Well...
[ It is obvious, but he still wants to push Yael a little anyway. After all, Yuui likes the continual push and pull of their relationship. ]
If you could make it really, really obvious... I'd be happy.
no subject
[Yael snorts— you're cute, Yuui. Adorable.]
Any suggestions on how I do that? Don't expect me to stand beneath your window with a speaker and a dozen roses.
no subject

no subject
[All joking aside, Yael considers his options carefully as his eyes settle on Yuui's. Ah. He'll start there.]
You've heard it a million times, I'm sure, but you've got beautiful eyes. They're even sexier when you're mad.
[hehe]
no subject
So you like it when someone's angry at you, do you? Somehow, that doesn't surprise me.
[ After all, he likes to push and push and push at other people's buttons. ]
Go on.

[Staring at Yuui and looking for his best features sets something aflame in Yael's chest. He really does find him quite beautiful, but if he's going to continue eyeing him like this, he'd rather do it with Yuui in his lap.

You're handsome too, you know. And smart.
no subject
[Yael chuckles, plopping a bit of beef into Yuui's bowl. Eat up, scrawny.]
Flattery will get you everywhere, but between us, you've got the stronger appeal.
