-o-o-o-o-o-
"Nope." Yamato said, making a 180 and leaving the café he and Taichi had just entered.
Taichi hurried to catch up to his boyfriend, throwing curious glances over his shoulder. "You were the one who wanted to go to that particular café! What's wrong with it?"
"My dad." Yamato slowed his pace, looking around for another café they could pop into for a short break and a bit of something to eat.
"But I thought your dad introduced you to that place?" Taichi asked, rightly confused. "And now it's no good because your dad introduced you to it?" He shook his head. "I just don't get you at times…"
Yamato gave Taichi an exasperated look. "No. I mean that my dad was in there. With his boyfriend. So we're not going there."
Taichi stopped abruptly. "…I'm sorry, what?"
Yamato also stopped and turned to his boyfriend, arms crossed over his chest. "I said: dad and his boyfriend were in there, so we're not going." Yamato motioned for Taichi to follow as he turned and continued walking. "Come on, that place looks good."
-o-o-o-
"No." Yamato stopped at the entrance of a clothing store, turning about face and marching back the way he had come.
"What?" Taichi rushed after his boyfriend, looking over his shoulder and through the windows of the store. He saw nothing out of the ordinary. "Didn't you want to go there? Was something wrong with the place?"
"My dad was in there."
"Ah." Taichi said, recalling their last trip to the café last week. "With his boy—hey! I forgot to ask you last time; you distracted me—"
"Say, didn't you need new soccer stuff?" Yamato asked, pointing to a sports store on their left.
"Yes, let's go!" Taichi rushed into the store, forgetting his earlier questions.
-o-o-o-
"Fuck me." Yamato muttered at the entrance of the food court where he had stopped.
"Okay." Taichi grinned.
Yamato gave him a sideways glance before turning around and starting to move out.
"So you wanna head straight to yours and get to business?" Taichi asked waggling his eyebrows.
"What business?" Asked a new voice from behind Taichi.
Gulping upon recognising the voice, Taichi turned around. "Mr. Ishida. I didn't know you were here, too."
"Clearly." Hiroaki said, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. He turned his eyes to his son. "We've been thinking," Hiroaki motioned for a brunet standing behind him. "If you two would be interested in a double date—"
"No." Yamato said firmly.
"Well, you know, we do seem to be going to the same places for all our dates…"
"No."
Hiroaki and Yamato stared each other down, before Hiroaki let out a sigh. "Fine, but I'll be taking Taichi."
"You—what?" Yamato frowned at his father, not comprehending the situation.
"I'm taking Taichi on a date. You have Akira."
Akira grinned. "Score. I get to change to a younger one."
Yamato shook his head smiling, whilst Hiroaki elbowed his boyfriend.
"Um," Taichi started, completely out of the loop.
Yamato turned to his boyfriend. "You haven't met Akira, dad's boyfriend." Yamato jerked his head in the elder brunet's direction. "And this is Taichi."
Taichi gave the other man a polite half-bow. Akira nodded in reply.
"I was actually supposed to ask you about that…" Taichi murmured to Yamato.
"You can ask me anything you want about Akira and our situation over lunch with me."
"Yeah, about this," Yamato butted in. "What's up with this stupid plan?"
"It's not stupid." Akira said, sticking his tongue out at Yamato, who retaliated in kind.
"Well I want to get to know Taichi better, and you and Akira can also bond over lunch." Hiroaki clarified.
"That's stupid." Yamato stated.
"No it's not." Hiroaki retaliated. Then a smirked crossed his face. "Or did you and Taichi want to skip lunch and run off home?"
Yamato's face reddened a few shades and he shoved his hands into his pockets. "You know what, let's just get this over and done with, since I know you won't give up on this stupid idea."
Hiroaki slapped a hand on Yamato's shoulder. "That's my boy!"
Yamato elbowed him in the ribs with a smile.
"Come on, Taichi. We get to pick first. What do you want to eat? My treat, since you're my date." Hiroaki grinned.
"What if we decide on the same food?" Yamato challenged, arms crossing over his chest.
"Then it's you changed your mind about that double date." Hiroaki winked.
Yamato let out a breath and let his arms drop to his sides. "We'll be somewhere else."
With affirming nods at each other (Taichi's a bit less confident than the others'), the two pairs went their separate ways.
"Oh, and dad?" Yamato called back.
"Yeah?"
"I want Taichi back after this."
Hiroaki smiled. "That was the deal."
"Taichi, eat fast!" Yamato called before winking at his boyfriend and walking off with another brunet.
