Note: I know its short and I promise the next chapter will be longer. Also, sorry it's taken so long to update. No, I didn't have writers block. A friend of mine from Washington came for a visit so I was with her most of the time. Reviews are much appreciated.
Thanks to the Reviewers
RekiaReium: Anubis and him always get along....well, almost always.
Shadow Kat: This chapter was such a pain! I had so many ideas for their date.
Queen Flare: They have a deep twin brotherly bond like that, no matter how much they argue, they'll always be able to talk to each other.
zorra This chapter will be big on the emotions too, just because of Kale and Anubis date, and what happens when they get home.
evilchild666: Why was your account deleted to begin with? It was probably something stupid.
raiven I'm working on a picture of Ryo to post on deviant ART. The link to my account there is at the top of my bio. When I have it up there will be a notice about it at the beginning of a chapter.
Shinigumi I'm glad you like it. I know what it feels like to move.
White-Witch-Sakura: lol I'm sure everyone wants Ryo, Sage, and Rowen together. Hell, even I do, I'm just no sure how I'm going to get there.
Wildfire2: I'd be happy to e-mail you about updates and I'm glad you like this story so much.
Az-Strawberry: Sorry its taken so long to update! Writers block.
Pretty in Scarlet: I'm glad you liked it.
Legolas19: I'm glad you liked it.
Chapter Fourteen
Anubis walked into the little restaurant with Kale right behind him. They put their name on the list and went to the sitting area, having been told it would be at least a ten minute wait. The whole time, Kale tried making light conversation, but the redhead's mind was elsewhere. Blinking, he looked at Kale who had placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Am I boring you?" Kale questioned.
Anubis shook his head, "No, I'm just thinking about something Ryo said."
"What did he say that has your attention?" Kale asked.
Anubis shook his head again, putting a smile on his face. "It's nothing important," he stated. "So, how long have you lived here?"
"All my life," Kale answered, "my mother has a lot of allergies, so she moved here while she was pregnant."
"How boring," Anubis commented, "I'd hate to live in one place my whole life."
"Where have you lived?"
"Japan, Florida, and now here," Anubis stated, "but I love to travel."
"Really? Where have you been?"
"Everywhere!" Anubis exclaimed. "Paris, Rome, Tokyo, Sydney, and so many more! This summer I'm going to Egypt."
Kale chuckled. "I've never seen you speak so passionately about something," he stated.
Anubis chuckled with a shrug. "I love to travel the world."
"Will you take me with you some day?" Kale asked. Anubis nodded as the waitress come over to seat them. They followed her over to the table and ordered their drinks before she left. Kale already knew what he wanted, but Anubis had never been there, so he had to read the menu.
"What would you recommend?" Anubis asked.
"Well, I'm having what I usually get," Kale said, "wanton soup, lemon chicken, and vegetable lo-mien."
"That sounds good," Anubis said. "Why don't we just get two orders of that?"
Kale nodded. "That's fine with me," he replied, putting the menu aside.
Their waitress came back with the drinks and took their order. Kale ordered for the both of them and handed her the menus. She left with a small bow, and Anubis continued their earlier discussion. "So, where have you been?" he asked.
"Pretty much just here. I've gone out of town to visit relatives, but that's about it," Kale stated. "So, I've been to a few places in the US, and all our relatives that live over seas come to us, not the other way around."
"That really sucks. What do you do for fun?"
"There's movies, go-carts, glow-in-that-dark mini-golf," Kale listed.
"Glow-in-the-dark mini-golf?" Anubis questioned.
Kale nodded. "It's loads of fun, actually. We can go after we eat, if you'd like."
"No, that's fine," Anubis said with a chuckle. "I haven't played mini-golf since I was twelve."
"Then you're long overdue for a game!" Kale stated.
"We'll go some other time, I promise," Anubis said.
Kale nodded. "Alright, besides, you'll have fun. You're never too old for mini-golf."
"And who told you this?" Anubis questioned.
"....Sekhmet."
"He lied."
Kale snapped his fingers with a pout. "Damn, I knew I shouldn't have listened to him."
Anubis rolled his eyes. "Well, you did, so therefore, you're a loser."
Kale glared playfully at the redhead. "Don't make me shove lo-mien down your shirt once it gets here," he threatened childishly.
Anubis raised an eyebrow in question. "Like you would really waste lo-mien."
Kale shrugged. "Good point. I'll just wait until after I eat."
"Assuming there will be some left," Anubis teased.
Kale glared at him but remained silent. Minutes later, the waitress walked over with their food. Two plates and a glass was placed in front of each teen before she bowed and left their table to tend to another set of customers. They ate in silence for a few minutes, neither feeling the need to say anything. However, as they sat there, Anubis started thinking about what he and Ryo had talked about before he left.
Eventually, curiosity got the best of him, and Anubis had to ask, "Kale, did Sage tell you anything that happened while we were at the lake?"
Blinking, Kale thought it over for a moment before shaking his head. "Only that Ryo kissed him... like you told him to," he said. Anubis nodded, taking another bite of lo-mien, deciding not to go any further into the subject. "Why do you ask?" Kale questioned.
Anubis shook his head. "Nothing, it's just that I asked Ryo and he gave me no answer," he lied.
Kale made an 'o' shape with his mouth and went back to eating his lemon chicken. Their table fell back into a comfortable silence. Anubis now knew that he couldn't bring up what Ryo had told him around Kale, or anyone else for that matter. That meant he would have to push them together himself. He didn't want to betray Ryo's trust, but if he needed to, Anubis would tell Kale and have him help.
"So, what do you want to do after this?" Kale asked.
Anubis shrugged, taking a small sip of his soda. "I don't know. What is there to do?"
"Wanna head over to the mall?"
"I was there a few days ago with Ryo," Anubis explained.
"Want to see a movie?"
"Is there anything good out?"
Kale thought about that for a moment, then shook his head. "No, not really."
Anubis shrugged. "We don't have to do anything, you know."
"Of course we do! We're going to be tradition and unoriginal," Kale stated.
"Kale, if it includes you, it will always or original," Anubis countered.
Kale shrugged. "We could always play mini-golf," he suggested again.
Anubis sighed, resting his head on his hand. "Kale, we'll do that this weekend. I promise."
"Score! Alright, we'll go home when we've finished eating, then," Kale said.
Anubis shook his head, laughing softly. "Kale, you're a dork."
Kale stuck his tongue out at Anubis, laughing quietly. They continued eating until both of them had their fill. After paying and tipping the waitress, both of them left the small building and headed home. They whole way home they sat in silence, listening to the music. Kale drove his car into Anubis' parking lot, and said he would walk him to the door. Shaking his head, Anubis gave Kale a quick kiss and got out of the car, waving to him before entering the house. Smiling, Kale went back to his house, pleased with how the night turned out.
