dappledleaves | THE WORLD: PSL LIFE

[Sinclair laughs, leaning back to eat his own food]

Mm...then I really can only complain enough to make it fun.

[For both of them]

[ Oria's grin widens. ]

You're really the best, ever.

[ In his joy, he finishes up his entire plate of calamari quickly. Yummy. ]

[Why is Oria so cute...he can't ever say that aloud but]

For you, sure.

[Bye bye calamari. He'll keep eating his own pasta at a more sedate pace]

[ Oria fakes a surprised gasp. ]

For me?

[ He laughs. ]

Man, I really don't want this date to be over. It's so fun.

[Sinclair grins, his expression growing softer]

Mm. It really had been too long since we got to have a whole day like this to ourselves.

[And there had been zero interference or weirdness from anyone around them. It was too much fun to rest]

Right? An entire day to ourselves and no one coming to bother us.

[ Which, Oria thinks, is a pretty good occurrence considering who they are. ]

It makes it feel like we're the only two here in the world.

[Even though they had been around people all day - the skate park had been especially busy - it really had felt like that. Since they both had been surrounded by people at all times, getting a chance with only each other was a precious thing]

Yeah. I'm really glad we were both able to get this time together.

[He's a little wistful as he has to admit]

I really don't want to go back to my hotel room at all.

Well, if you don't want to, I'm sure we can go somewhere else~

[ Mischievous. Gremlin. Oria is both. ]

[Oria pls]

Where abouts? Things will be closing up soon.

[He finishes his pasta, and his plate is taken away to be replaced with a big bowl of gelato, with three seasonal scoops. Ah

Good thing Oria is here]

[ Oria gets his cake and he doesn't hesitate in devouring it. Delicious. ]

Easy. We just go somewhere where it isn't closed!

[He'll eat some of his gelato and then offer Oria a spoonful here and there]

Like?

[ Oria eats every spoonful that Sinclair offers to him. ]

Like my place.

[ He'd make some sort of night life joke, but he doubts that would be funny as of how they are now. ]

[He definitely understands why Oria likes feeding him now. He takes another bite of gelato for himself]

Ah. [ With the way they are...consider the last time Sinclair visited Oria, and then at the beach party...] That'd be nice, since I haven't seen it yet...

Yeah! It's a pretty normal looking house.

[ ... ]

And I mean that by the usual standard, not for rich people's standards.

[ Pfft]

Okay, I believe you.

[Oria did have a good handle on that, despite all his wealth]

It'll be nice, to see something 'normal'.

Right? Even the house in the reunion party at least looked normal from the outside, didn't it?

[ It looked like any other house... until you go inside and realize most of the house had been covered by trees. ]

But this one is absolutely more "normal". In fact, it'll be so normal that it'll be abnormal in the middle of this place.

[ Since this place was full of rich people, and therefore, fancy houses. ]

[Hmmm, that is a good point]

What made you pick it?

It's not that far from the university that I'm going to! And it's a great place for the working bodyguards too. I don't exactly live alone, but the house is always empty when I walk inside it.

[ Oria puts down his fork. ]

I'm sure they can be likened to some guardian angels who clean the house or protect me even if I can't see them. Imagining them as little fairies like that is pretty funny.

[Sinclair tries to imagine this as he pushes around the last of his gelato]

They're always around even though you can't see them? Doesn't that ever bother you?

No, it just means that they're doing their jobs. You didn't see any bodyguards around in my house when you came to visit before, right? Other than the one driving you there. But still, in this case, they sleep in a guest room if they can't make it back home, and I'm fine with that.

[ Yeah.

Yeah..................... Oria eyes the gelato and wonders when Sinclair will reach the limit of his appetite. ]

[Sinclair pushes over his bowl for Oria to take the last scoop. It's still round, even, barely melting.]

Mm. Well, if you're fine with it...

[And considering how many people are after Oria, then it's probably a good thing. But. Still]

[ Oria calls for the check and pays with his card. ]

Ready to go?

Mm. Let's go. [Sinclair gets up and follows after once he's sure he still has his things. Don't forget anything...]

[ Oria is careful about not leaving things behind and leads Sinclair out of the restaurant once he gets his card back. ]

Wanna take a bus or get in a car? I'm finally allowed to drive now, but my car is back home. I can call someone to pick us up.

We can take the bus if it's still running.

[ He doesn't mind after all. Public transport is the norm]
