[soundsurfing]

Mmm....

[That is the most unpositive noise Beats ever made.

But he'll swallow and gently set his chopsticks down, reach into his pocket, and pull out five hundred yen to hand it to Neku.]

[scratchitti]

[He takes it, making a big show of putting it in his wallet]

You tried.

[soundsurfing]

Be a bro an' don' let me try again....

[He's eying the chicken nuggets, because if something that sounded like it'd go so well together DIDN'T, then he doesn't want to know what Neku's up against.]

You wanna jus'... skip that?

[scratchitti]

Yeah. Let's just split the other bowl and these, okay?

[soundsurfing]

Ugh no thanks yo, that [A gesture to his gross chunky ramen] killed my stomach. Think Ima be killed fer ruinin' the ramen?

[scratchitti]

Well I'M eating.

[He pulls the other bowl over]

What, you haven't noticed him giving you the death glare yet?

[soundsurfing]

Heh, have at du- He's been glarin'?!

[A quick look around and Beats sliding down further in the seat.]

Crap uh... we sneakin' out after aight? Jus' like, pay an' run cuz bro....

[scratchitti]

[He slurps at the soup]

Yeeeah we probably should hang around here.

[soundsurfing]

[Beats already getting the money out but he honestly doesn't look to be in too much of a hurry. Neku's actually a little distracting with the sucking at the soup thing.]

Ah... yeah... good idea yo.

[scratchitti]

[He shovels a bit more in his mouth, moving to drink as much of the broth as he can before they bolt]

I'll apologize to him later.

[soundsurfing]

Nah dude, I'll do that. It was my idea. Actually bro, be right back.

[Plus he might need to get away from the idea of Neku's lips around something. He'll scoot out and go not only to pay but talk to the guy. And breeeeeeeathe]

[scratchitti]

[And Neku is utterly clueless on the effect he's having- it's not that he's some innocent flower. Not by far. But the idea that he could have that kinda effect is kinda new.

So he uses the chance to finish his food]

[soundsurfing]

[At least when he comes back, he looks less libido'ized. Properly chagrin, in fact.]

So uh... mighta gotten myself banned fer a bit. S'all paid tho.

[A pause as he stares at Neku. Now what?]

... Wanna go see a movie?

[scratchitti]

You're lucky that's all.

[He pauses, a little pink, but not looking away]

What, like a real date?

[soundsurfing]

... 'Zactly, yo!

[At least it seems like he's over being shy about it, now that he figured out what to do.]

C'mon bro, you can pick!

[scratchitti]

[He arches a brow]

Really? Anything I want?

[soundsurfing]

Sure bro, I ain't picky. The worst you can do?

[If Neku picks a romance, he's going to be very embarrassed]

[scratchitti]

[Beat is lucky that sappy romance isn't really his thing.]

Guess we'll just see what they have showing.

[He finally stands, and after a pause to think about his, grabs Beat's wrist.

... he doesn't DO anything with it, just... has it]

[soundsurfing]

Heh, promise I won't make any objections!

[The hand around his wrist is warm and makes his expression soften into a smile. It's cute and somehow very Neku.

He doesn't take the lead this time, instead preferring to walk side by side with Neku.]

[scratchitti]

You don't have to.

[ He doesn't want Beat to think he has to cater to him to make him like him.]

[soundsurfing]

Nah bro, I know I don't gotta, but I wanna. Next time, it'll be my turn to pick.

[Almost childishly he swings his arm so he can swing Neku's as well, throwing him a grin.] That's how it works, ainnit?

[scratchitti]

Is it?

[He can't help but grin at Beat's eagerness]

Guess that means I owe you a second date then, huh? So you can watch your movie?

[soundsurfing]

Heh, right yo! [A quick pause] Butchu don' owe me nothin'. Jus' so you know.

[If Neku didn't like this date, after all, Beat wouldn't push him for another one.]

[scratchitti]

I know.

[It's said softly, and he squeezes Beat's wrist slightly]

[soundsurfing]

[Those two little words make Beat huff a little, cheeks turning pink as he turns his hand a little to take hold of Neku's wrist to squeeze back.

And he's going to keep this little hand hold, even as they hit the theater, Beat pausing to look at the movie names thoughtfully.]
