[Persistence is admirable except when it's a lost cause, and Sanji's brows keep climbing the higher he raises his foot.
... Yep. This is how they are choosing to spend their time, apparently.]
Alright, I'll try one. [Would've preferred Yusuke eat more seeing as he's the stick between them, but he admits to being curious. So he'll take an offered taco, nibbling on it before to get a feel for the flavors before taking a larger bite.]
Huuuuh, not bad. Maybe I should use that spice I bought when I try recreating these.
[ There is a slightly determined look on his face. He will win, he will... ... he'll... ...
... lean forward out of his seat, flick Sanji lightly between the eyes and use the moment of distraction to push his foot down. Probably. If it worked. Who knows. ]
Is the spice similar then? [ Sanji's the brand new super chef here, not him. But at least he seems to be enjoying it. Yusuke takes a middling bite of the tostada, enjoying the cooler texture of the salmon after the heat of the taco. ] Oh. It's quite good this way around... maybe that's why they made it.
[His foot is on the ground but he is not counting it, DO OVER, he will not accept this loss. In fact he just pulls his foot out from underneath Yusuke's and pins his to the ground instead.
Huff.
-- Yeah he's not even gonna respond to the food stuffs until he is declared the winner.]
He tries to free his foot, but he's absolutely at a disadvantage. It's not going very well, but as a matter of principle he can't give up and declare Sanji the winner, so... he leans over and...
[Sanji knows he's got the advantage in leg strength, that's kinda his thing, and there's a flash of triumph when Yusuke can't do anything to loosen his unforgiving foothold.
-- And then he practically shrieks like a tiny dog when Yusuke pokes him in the side.
It's a short bark of a laughter, quickly hidden up when Sanji bats the hand away and proceeds to ward off Yusuke's advances, ready to cover up his side in case of a second attack. Just -- what the hell, this was going so well and now it's all gone to googly moogly shit.]
I'm cancelling this goddamn date if you poke me again.
[ Oh. Oh, he's ticklish. Yusuke had no idea, but this is a wonderful discovery. And then Sanji is shrieking with laughter and batting him away and Yusuke can't help but just laugh.
Not at him, exactly, but just... at the situation. It feels nice, and natural. Not stilted, like he'd been a little worried he could end up being out of sheer inexperience. It's something of a relief. ]
All right, all right.
[ He raises his hands and flops sideways to bump against Sanji's side. And also to quickly pin his foot again, while the distraction is still in play. ]
[He's aware the laugh (which admittedly has a nice ring to it) isn't meant to be a needle to his pride, though that doesn't stop Sanji from clucking his tongue and shooting a look in Yusuke's direction while he smoothes his clothes back into place.
Jesus. His boyfriend is a fuckin disaster, this is why he's not taking him out in public any...]
With his taco still half-eaten, Sanji leans into the table, staring at it with expression that turns from exasperated to thoughtful, and finally settles on resignation - but ultimately a more pleasant version of the one he wore only an hour ago.
He promised Yusuke a chance, didn't he? And for what an asshole he can be, Sanji wants to keep his word. So ... it's fine, isn't it? Yeah.
Smile pulling at his lips, he finally reaches over, tugging pointedly at Yusuke's chin until their faces are in line, and then easy as you please, leans forward to press his mouth over his for a few lingering seconds.]
[ The... silence, and the glare, and the intense number of expressions Sanji goes through in the moments following leave him doubting for a moment. Funny, how he's never second guessed his own interactions with Sanji before, but change the context and he can't help but wonder.
And doubt.
But then his expression changes, and softens and Yusuke feels himself relax with it. Briefly, before he's tensing slightly when Sanji tugs his chin and presses a kiss to his mouth. It leaves him feeling warm, and content, and when Sanji pulls away, he wants to follow.
... ]
...
[ Ah. ]
Noted.
[ He looks happy though. Once everything that just happened has settled in. ]
Swimming wasn't in the plan today, as far as I'm aware.
[ Oh. He's been to dinners before, but that sounds different somehow. ]
I see.
[ He could probably still eat, but... Sanji has a point about it being a little futile just after they ate. ]
It'd be a shame to spoil food having already eaten... [ and it gets that all important second date locked down. Go, go! ] And there's a lot left to see here as well.
So you wanna walk around a bit more and then head out?
[Sounds fine to him; Sanji's looking pretty relaxed now that, uh, things have been settled between them, having completely given up on his neutral bullshit. He's in a good mood, sue him.]
There's an animal exhibit one further down the street. All the drawings look 3D so the kids can pretend to ride on them.
You improved your drawings between the first time I saw them and the second time.
[ Believe in yourself, Sanji...! Still, he can't deny he's excited to see how the artists here have pulled of the 3D illusion with just chalk and pavement, so. He's going in for that wrist grab again -- come on, come on. ]
[Sanji still considers that waaaay too much praise for when he's messing around with pen and paper, but doesn't have the heart to shit all over Yusuke's good time.
... The obvious excitement might've backfired on him.]
Mmm. [He offers no rebuttal, just a light hum as he's led away from the table, hitting a quick detour to throw away their trash and then allowing Yusuke to manhandle him down the street.]
[ All improvement is good improvement, as far as he's concerned.
He is doing his absolute best manhandling, and maybe that's his hand dropping done into a more natural handhold. Please hold his hand it'll be really cute.
... and then he stops. ]
You are aware I do not actually know the exact location of this new exhibit, yes?
[Fine, hold his hand, he won't bite Yusuke's face off for it. Though given his other hand is in his pocket, he'll gesture with both their joined arms in the direction they should continue]
[Because Sanji is a lazy ass and Yusuke is surprisingly on point when it comes to PDA -- LISTEN it's just how this asshole rolls]
Probably why they blocked off the streets closest together -- makes shit easier, especially the people with kids.
[Because there are a loooot of children around, most well-behaved but absolutely curious about everything. It make sense -- in the eyes of a child, chalk is and always was art, and so they dart around as if in a museum made especially for them.]

OKAY DONE
[So congratulations on your foul-mouthed, temperamental, asshole boyfriend, Yusuke.
Yep... he sure is yours now.]

[he sure is just gonna continue on like nothing happened, gathering up his half of the taco so he can finish it off. Squishy time is over.]
Did have one more thing planned, but y'know what, might be better to push that off for the next date.
no subject
Oh? Are you trying to keep some suspense?
[ Because, I mean. It's working. He wants to find out what it is! ]

That sounds nice. [ Oh. ] 3D... but still drawings like the ones here?

Is it the placement of the shadows? Or a different technique in the drawing itself?

Another block down and we'll be at it.
no subject
Oh, so it was this way.
[ Maybe he is secretly a GPS system. And, oh, does that mean they're swinging joined hands like children? That's cute. ]
It's all well situated - there's so much to look at but it's all fairly close together.

no subject
Safer as well. But... this is good. People over look creative development in favour of more "serious" or "important" subjects like science.
Something like this gets children interacting and interested in art. And that can make a big difference.
[ Let the next generation of artists find their passion!! ]
