tsukkinice: (I mean,he seems pretty sharp.)

[personal profile] tsukkinice 2015-01-28 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
A girl? [Yamaguchi blinks, staring for a moment, then catches himself and quickly looks away with the hopes it'll hide how red his face still is.] R-Right! Yeah let's, go in?
tooruler: (okey dokey~★)

[personal profile] tooruler 2015-01-28 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Hm? [Oh! He didn't think twice about mentioning her, but that probably wasn't the best move.] Yes. She didn't like me much. [They lasted one and a quarter dates - he can't remember her name.

He holds the door open for Yamaguchi and tries not to get distracted by his stammer. Try not to get the pink on you, Yamaguchi.]
tsukkinice: (Um...)

[personal profile] tsukkinice 2015-01-28 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Didn't like you? [Yamaguchi seems genuinely taken aback by that. Eat it up, Oikawa.

He nearly misses the other boy holding the door for him, but then he sees and belatedly hurries forward inside the restaurant, eyes widening a bit at all the...pink.]
Ah, thanks, Oikawa-san.

[GOODNESS HIM IT'S PINK IN HERE.]
tooruler: (like you even could)

[personal profile] tooruler 2015-01-28 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Every time Yamaguchi proves himself nice, Oikawa's usual thoughts stop in their tracks. He's used to everyone understanding immediately why someone wouldn't like him. Yamaguchi's just... nice. It's uncomfortably charming.]

You really don't have to call me "Oikawa-san", Yama-chan.

[A waitress, as pink as the rest of the cafe, appears and shepherds them to a table on the edge. There's a fuchsia (pink) candle in the middle with maroon and lilac glitter sprinkled on it. In a fit of obnoxiousness, Oikawa pulls out one of the chairs and holds it for Yamaguchi to sit on.] I really am glad you came, you know.

[He's having fun.]
tsukkinice: (Whoa...so fast)

[personal profile] tsukkinice 2015-01-28 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? Then, what did you want me to–

[Yamaguchi's not talking too loudly, and when the waitress approaches, he immediately shuts up so as to accommodate her greeting. He lets the topic of nicknames go for the moment, while he and Oikawa are led to their table. In that time, he's distracted yet again by just how vibrantly pink everything is. Yamaguchi only snaps back to the present when Oikawa pulls the chair out for him, and he's nearly too embarrassed by that gesture alone to sit down.]

You...um, you don't have to...th-thanks!! [For that, and the compliment both. Yamaguchi's not usually this flustered, honestly; but then he's not usually alone in the company of a sort of super-charming guy who seems inexplicably happy to share his company, either. Combined with the fact that Seijou's still a rival school, and that Oikawa keeps calling this (treating this??) like an actual date despite his protests, Yamaguchi's pretty damn flustered for a teenager meeting up with a casual friend.]

...This place is kinda different than I expected...
tooruler: (kawaii for the camera)

[personal profile] tooruler 2015-01-28 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Draping his coat over the back of his chair, Oikawa takes his own seat. As far as he's concerned, this is a date, whether Yamaguchi wants to call it that or not. Admittedly, he does this to Iwaizumi as well but that's more about making him swear and pull faces than what he's up to with Yamaguchi. Which... He doesn't want to think about because he thought he knew what he was doing here but that doesn't explain why he's smiling properly rather than his usual insincere mask.]

What were you expecting? I wouldn't take you anywhere but the best. [He might have picked it for the atmosphere but their food is nice or he would have found somewhere better.]
tsukkinice: (Ah,s...s-sorry...)

[personal profile] tsukkinice 2015-01-28 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
Ah...

That's not really what I meant. [He doesn't mean to sound ungrateful.

It's just so pink.]
tooruler: (bean?)

[personal profile] tooruler 2015-01-28 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Who doesn't like pink. Pink is great.]

Ah, then what did you mean, Yama-chan?
tsukkinice: (I'm getting tired just watching them~)

[personal profile] tsukkinice 2015-01-28 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
[He rubs the back of his neck a bit awkwardly.] It's kinda...pink?
tooruler: (c'mon)

[personal profile] tooruler 2015-01-28 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Oikawa looks around them, like he hadn't noticed the level of pink.] Do you think so?
tsukkinice: (I...see...um.)

[personal profile] tsukkinice 2015-01-28 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
...Are you colorblind, Oikawa-san?

[That'd be a rather mean joke of his ex-girlfriend to pull. Bringing him to a place like this.]
tooruler: (bean?)

yamaguchi is too nice for someone like oikawa to befriend

[personal profile] tooruler 2015-01-28 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose it is a little. But there's some red over there. [He points - it's a heart shaped balloon floating next to the counter, out of a pot plant like a mutant tree.]
tsukkinice: (Hey!)

he can be a little shit too but he needs tsukki to hide behind

[personal profile] tsukkinice 2015-01-28 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
This is the pinkest place I've ever seen. [Which wouldn't necessarily be bad—Yamaguchi's not someone that cares too much about colors by themselves—but the overall effect is pretty garish.]
tooruler: (like you even could)

now all I can picture is yamaguchi sending tsukki out like a pokemon to tell oikawa he's a dick

[personal profile] tooruler 2015-01-29 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Then I'll have to take you to lots more! [This will not be their last "date" if Oikawa can help it.] There are lots of nice places I want to show you.
tsukkinice: (Wait,Tsukki!)

ituergklfd but is it super effective??

[personal profile] tsukkinice 2015-01-29 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Wait, show me? [Emphasis on 'me'—if nothing else, it manages to distract Yamaguchi from the pink decor as he looks at Oikawa in surprise.] ...How come?
tooruler: (bean?)

... don't get me started, I'd think too hard about pokemon types (tsukki = ice oikawa = dragon ohko)

[personal profile] tooruler 2015-01-29 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Because I like spending time with you?

[Well, he likes talking to him, and so far spending time with him is going okay. He does wonder about why he enjoys that but right now he'd rather talk to Yamaguchi than get into uncomfortable introspection.]
tsukkinice: (But...I'm jealous.)

yaaaas meanwhile yamaguchi is the normal-est of normal types

[personal profile] tsukkinice 2015-01-29 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yamaguchi looks startled.] ...?

You do?
tooruler: (oooooo~)

so normal he's the only pokemon cheren uses any more.

[personal profile] tooruler 2015-01-30 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
I do! [He hesitates. That shouldn't have been a surprise. Has he read Yamaguchi wrong? He doesn't often but there are always exceptions.] Don't you like spending time with me?
tsukkinice: (Tsukki,nice one!)

ahoge game too strong

[personal profile] tsukkinice 2015-01-30 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Wha?

Wait, Oikawa-san, that's not what I meant...!

[he doesn't know why the thought that Oikawa might hold that misconception alarms him so much, but Yamaguchi really doesn't want to hurt his feelings]
tooruler: (what's next)

[personal profile] tooruler 2015-01-30 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Oikawa's smile falls completely. Yamaguchi didn't say no. Maybe he meant that to be reassuring but in between teasing and flirting Oikawa managed to get the impression that Yamaguchi was at least entertained by his conversation and he's only realising now that he never said as much.]

Then what did you mean, Yama-chan?
tsukkinice: (I mean,he seems pretty sharp.)

[personal profile] tsukkinice 2015-01-30 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry! S-Sorry, what I mean is...um...no one's ever said that to me before, Oikawa-san.

And so you surprised me by saying that you wanted to spend time with me! That's all.

[And Yamaguchi's blushing again, hoo boy. But, it's 100% true—only Tsukishima could Yamaguchi be completely sure actually wanted to hang out with him, and Tsukki never said those kinds of things out loud, unless forced or sarcastically. Having someone cool like Oikawa say it so easily feels...

...nice.]
tooruler: (oooooo~)

[personal profile] tooruler 2015-01-30 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[That mollifies him a little, but his smile is more forced than it was when it returns.]

You can't have been talking to the right people, Yama-chan.

[He distracts himself with the menu, he knows around a third of the items on it are some variation of pink but they all taste excellent.]

What were you thinking of ordering? [He bites back on his reflex to add "something as sweet as you?"]
tsukkinice: (Wait,Tsukki!)

[personal profile] tsukkinice 2015-01-30 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yamaguchi wonders a bit about the quality of that smile, but before he can dwell on it he's distracted by the menu as well.]

Oh! I'll look now. I don't know what they have, but if you like it, I'm sure it'll taste good...
tooruler: (like you even could)

[personal profile] tooruler 2015-01-30 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Their strawberry shortcake is second to none.

[And if Yamaguchi gets it Oikawa can steal some. Yamaguchi probably won't even hit him for it, which is a bonus.]
tsukkinice: (No kidding.)

[personal profile] tsukkinice 2015-01-31 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Unexpectedly, a bright smile lights up on Yamaguchi's face.]

Strawberry shortcake? You like that, Oikawa-san?

That's Tsukki's favorite, too! [Mentioning his best friend's favorite food offhand seems an odd thing to get excited about, but Yamaguchi tends to draw comfort from familiar things. Shortcake, at least, he knows how to make conversation about, however insignificant it might be.]
