Ching Tai, Monday Evening

It was a sorta anniversary night so this meant a real date.

And Teddy making sure the place had tomatoes for Chad's weird cravings. Sometimes he wondered who was really the alien here.

All he needed now was the boyfriend and tonight would just have to be perfect. Which he didn't mention aloud because he knew that was just asking for an invasion of some sort or a kidnapping.

[[OOC: Open, but thread with Chad and Ted locked to them please!]]

Forget the tomatoes. It was probably the weird cravings for putting Tabasco on everything that would raise a few alien-possibility eyebrows. Chad was running a little late, but he had to take Prince Oscar Pedro back to the dorms because he'd sort of forgotten that detail but, finally, he closed up the shop early and headed over, spotting Teddy when he came in and bending over for a quick kiss on the cheek. "Sorry I'm late."

Well a kiss was a good way to get on Teddy's good side again.

"As long as you show up," Teddy replied, turning his head for a real kiss.

And a real kiss was a good way to get Chad to forget about worrying that he'd screwed up. The kiss was followed quickly by a grin. "I had to work," he reminded him. "And an orphan can only get away with the 'death in the family' excuse so many times before people start to figure it out, you know."

Teddy chuckled, putting an arm around his. "Maybe say I got kidnapped next time?"

There was a long, thoughtful pause, where, slowly, the suggestion was making itself known in a revelation to Chad. But then it faded quickly with slumping shoulders. "'Course, that'd be banking on Melody never really knowing you, 'cause I don't think it would work if she did," he commented, taking to lightly steering Teddy along with him as they were being lead to a table.

"Alien emperor," Teddy said, walking along toward the table with him. "You could say it was political."

"Yeah, but, how the hell is anyone going to actually manage to kidnap you?" Chad asked as he took a seat, trying to see if he could prove himself wrong in trying to think of how even he could conceivably do it and falling short.

Teddy laughed, taking a seat across from him. "Uh, well, they could threaten people I care about?" He suggested, trying to make light of the potential threat.

Chad took a moment to consider this, before, with a grunt, nodding. He figured he'd be pretty to kidnap if someone threatened Prince Oscar Pedro. Or if they just bludgeoned him in the head. Twice, probably, though.

"That works. I'll add it to the list of excuses."

Teddy would hope that people threatening Chad or... fine, even Oscar would only end in them getting their asses kicked.

"Or you could just ask for the night off," He teased, picking up his menu.

See, but that would make sense, and it relied on Chad actually remembering things like needing certain nights off earlier than the morning of, which rarely seemed to happen.

Instead of responding, he just cleared his throat, following Teddy's example and reaching for a menu. "So what sounds good?"

"They have tomatoes," Teddy said, looking over the menu. "I checked."

With a grunt, Chad peered through his hair, over the menu, toward Teddy. He wasn't going to say anything. He was going to let that look attempt to say it.

Which might be difficult, considering Chad had about two looks, but this was Teddy here. If anyone knew Chad's looks, it was Ted.

He had more than two looks. Well, Teddy was able to figure out more than two looks so...

He brushed his foot over Chad's grinning at him and looking at the menu. "What else looks good?"

In fact, briefly, if you looked carefully and before Chad ducked his head toward the menu again, there was one of those rare other looks, as Chad cracked a small grin toward Teddy. Fleeting, but it was there.

He kept the answer he was thinking to himself. Instead, after a moment, he said, "Eggrolls. Lots of 'em."

Looking down slightly, Teddy smiled back. "Then we'll get eggrolls and..." He bit his lip, thinking it over. "Potstickers?"

Chad nodded in approval. "And rangoon."

"Appetizers and tomatoes?"

Chad flipped the menu to the back with his brow knitting thoughtfully. "Do they do sushi at all here?"

Tilting his head to the side, Teddy shrugged. "You could always ask?"

Even if raw fish did kinda skeeve Teddy out a bit. But he'd try it if Chad wanted.

"Unagi sounds good right now," Chad grunted, scanning the menu some more. "If anyplace has it, it'd be here, right?" There was a mutter there as he continued looking, something about "Cafe Fina" and "wasabi," which, ironically, seemed to be turning Chad's face slightly in the shade of the latter.

Teddy just raised an eyebrow. "Maybe a trip to the mainland next date? We can get some sushi for you then.""

Chad's eyes shifted slightly as he considered this option. "...True. That works."

"And we can spend some time away," Teddy suggested, glancing up. "Maybe spend a weekend at a hotel..."

Because Teddy was always up for privacy.

Chad, also, glanced up. "A weekend, huh?"

See, he knew how to focus on the important parts.

"Well, if you wanted, we could spend just a day..."

"Nah, I guess I could handle a weekend."

Chuckling, Teddy tossed his napkin at Chad. "I'd hope you could!"

"What if I couldn't?" Chad asked, failing to block the napkin but, come on. It was a napkin. And it was his now, so he hoped Teddy didn't plan on ordering anything messy.

A napkin-less Teddy gave him an innocent smile. "We'd have to practice more until you could."

And he was very proud to have not blushed while saying that!

"Wouldn't I just want to say that I couldn't just so I could just practise more?"

"Too late for that, isn't it?" Teddy teased.

"...no," Chad said, his rumble slowly reasoning. "I haven't said anything one way or the other yet."

Pause. He glanced slightly toward the right before looking back and leaning over the table. "...Have I?"

"That so?" Teddy asked, leaning slightly toward him as well. "Because if you needed practice..."

"I think I might," Chad admitted with the lightest hint of a grin. "Can never be too prepared."

"You a boyscout now?" Teddy asked, trying hard to stay serious. "Do they have boyscouts in Japan?"

Okay, so he might be leaning over a little more for a kiss.

Chad wasn't quite sure if Teddy could have a kiss after that comment. He leveled a gaze toward his boyfriend that said as much before commenting, "I could totally rock those shorts if I had to."

Teddy just laughed, snagging Chad by the collar of his shirt for a kiss. "I never said you wouldn't."

Okay, okay. Teddy could have his kiss. Chad grinned lightly, feeling a little bad for the poor table having to bear the brunt of his weight as he leaned in. "Good."

"But I'd have to be the only one who gets to see you in them," He added, leaning in for another kiss.

"Only," Chad offered, "if they're coming right off."

"Which happen pretty quick, huh?"

Chad shrugged a shoulder. "Usually does. Complaining?"

That got him another kiss. "Never."
