Ryouma had been waiting for this day for a very long time. Over 10 years to be exact. For today was his first official date with Izumi. He was wearing a semi-formal grey jacket with a t-shirt. He wanted to look his best.

Izumi opened the door with a big smile. He loved seeing Izumi so happy. Izumi was wearing a pale green top with a small white waist coat type of thing. Ryouma could feel a drop of blood run out of his nose. He covered it quickly hoping Izumi wouldn't notice. Izumi gave a small giggle and handed him a tissue.

"Hey, you ready to go?" Ryouma asked. Izumi had been rushing to get ready so he had literally been running to the door to answer it.

"Yeah sorry I completely lost track of the time." He had been in the shower again. He decided to apply more of the foundation. He knew that he would be well covered but he didn't want to risk Ryouma knowing of another bruise. He already knew about the one on his hip which already seemed suspicious enough.

"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go." He took Izumi's hand gently but held it tight. Izumi felt his heart flutter at the sweet gesture. He was getting better at having physical contact with people but if they got too close it was a problem. Earlier in the day he had Shougo give him a surprise hug and he nearly screamed. Luckily Rei was there to calm down the situation.

He didn't know if he was ready to get over it and move on. He thought he might as well think positively. He smiled at Ryouma and gave him a quick cheek kiss.

*Time skip to restaurant*

"What do you want to eat?" Ryouma asked looking up from his menu.

"I think I'll just have a salad. I'm going to save myself for dessert. I'm going to get something sweet."

"Sounds good. I'll probably go with the beef noodles." He said folding the menu and putting it back into the place holder. He looked into Izumi's eyes and gave a small smile. He had been looking for those eyes for 10 years and now he knew the person who owned them and he was completely in love with him.

"It's a nice place they have here." Izumi said looking around at the restaurant décor. They had beautiful floral wallpaper and black leather seats. He wasn't sure how much it was going to cost but somehow he got the feeling that Ryouma would insist on playing for it even thought it was he who suggested the idea of going out on the date in the first place. It was quite dark outside so they had turned on these small rows of brightly lit lights, like the ones you would find on Christmas trees. The lights made Ryouma look ever more beautiful then he was. Izumi was surprised at how much he was enjoying the date so far. When he was with Ryouma it made him forget everything else.

"Yeah I was here once before. I thought you would like it."

"So how are you? I've still been concerned about the photoshoot incident." He said awkwardly. He knew that Izumi said he was okay but during their mini park date he seemed really distance, like he was thinking about an unsolvable riddle.

"I'm fine now I think I'm getting better. I've talked with Rei and I know I'm going to be okay." He said with confidence. He wasn't sure at first because he had been a complete and utter mess but when Rei told him it wasn't his fault he was beginning to get himself back together.

The moment was so prefect he couldn't spoil it now. He could always do it later. To Izumi he looked perfect and he was too happy to even begin thinking about it again. He felt kinda weird that he had been so set on telling him tonight and now just to postpone it made him feel a little uneasy but he shrugged off the feeling and continued to feel happy.

The waiter came over with their food. It looked delicious. The beef noodles smelt as good they looked. The salad was not as spectacular but nevertheless still looked as tasty. The smell was making Izumi's stomach feel suddenly full. He was able to eat more but if a food had a strong aroma or he was eating too much (which was only about ½ the food) he would feel like he was going to throw up.

He gagged for a moment put acted like it didn't happen. This obviously didn't go unnoticed by the significant other. He raised his hand to try and check if he was okay but Izumi reacted quicker than him.

"I'm fine don't worry." He said semi-convincingly.

"You look like you were going to be sick." It was clear that wasn't buying his lies he was selling him.

"Why don't we eat? I'm starving." He said quickly using his pretend hunger as an excuse to his gagging.

"Only if you're up to it." He said picking up a fork still keeping an eye on Izumi just to make sure he was okay.

Izumi picked up his fork also and took the first bite. He found it was delicious and he was happy that he was keeping it down. Ryouma seemed to be enjoying his food as well. He offered Izumi one of his noodles but he declined.

He took another bite and he could feel his stomach starting to turn. He needed a distraction.

"How's your filming going?" He asked trying to make small dinner conversation.

"It's been going well. We've nearly finished so I should defiantly have more free time before my next project comes up."

"Yay. I miss you when you're not around. I like having you to feel safe."

Ryouma didn't expect that to be said. He had no idea why Izumi needed him to feel safe but he ended up making the assumption that since he had no people skills whatsoever he probably made Izumi feel more comfortable in public.

There was still a flicker of doubt in the back of his mind but he just ignored it. They were having a good time. Why ruin it now?

They continued to eat but Izumi knew that he couldn't stomach much more but if he stopped eating now it would only be more suspicious. He took a small tomato and eat it but it made him feel like someone had kicked him in the stomach.

Ryouma could see he was getting paler and no doubt he was going to throw up so he quickly grabbed him and brought him to the bathroom just in time. He could hear Izumi be sick rather violently. He wanted to go into the stall and help him but it didn't look like it was going to be a pretty sight.

Izumi emptied what little stomach content he had then he took a moment to recapture his breath. He balanced himself and swayed slightly. He could feel him regaining colour in his face only from the embarrassment. Being sick on the first date. This couldn't possibly get even worse.

The burning sensation in his throat wasn't that bad compared to when he was forced to suck off one of the guys who had wanted a blow job from a "pretty girl". He didn't tell the doctor about that one. It would have been way too shameful. That was probably also contributing to the reason that he couldn't eat that much without feeling off.

"You lied. You're not fit to be doing this." Said Ryouma moving quickly to support him. Izumi put a hand on his chest to try and push him away but the other was too quick. Ryouma's violet eyes gave him a sympathetic look.

"I didn't want to spoil the evening." Izumi said quietly as they walked out of the bathroom together. Ryouma nodded his head and gave a small laugh. Izumi didn't see what was funny.

"I'll walk you back to my place its closer and you can rest up. Its fine you're too adorable to even handle. You don't have to be embarrassed in front of me. I always think you're amazing even if you don't think so." He said kissing the other on the mouth quickly so that no one else in the restaurant would notice.

Ryouma wouldn't have brought him if he was still feeling unwell. He would have been fine just hanging out with him at his home. Although if Shougo or Rei had been home they probably would have kept checking in on them.

Ryouma paid the bill and gave Izumi his jacket. It was chilly outside and seeing as Izumi already was sick he didn't want him getting a cold. However if he was sick he could totally play the role of his nurse and stay with him all day, bringing him soup and keeping him company.

"Thank you for everything Ryouma." He said snuggling into Ryouma giving him some warmth as he was currently without a jacket. Apart from him being sick this had been a great night. He didn't even need to act half of the time he was that content.

They walked in silence for a couple of seconds simply enjoying their small moment of being in other presence.

"Hey, look over here, it's the doll face himself." Izumi froze on the spot. Right there and then 3 guys approached Izumi and Ryouma, their eyes locked on the smaller of the 2. Izumi grabbed Ryouma's hand like a vice and tried to back away but Ryouma also seemed to be bound there. Izumi wanted to close his eyes but his brain would let him.

"Izumi, do you know these people?"

Well I'm a terrible person XD. Decision time people. Do I let Izumi off easy or shall he be tormented even more than he already is? You be the judges.
