"You're telling me that you've never been to a sushi house? Not even hibachi?" Shane shook his head as he fiddled with the wrapper on his chopsticks.
"Nope." He grinned, bouncing in his side of the booth. "This is the first time." Their waiter returned with their food, setting the huge plate in between them. Shane ripped his chopsticks open and prodded at the wasabi. Reed giggled at his enthusiasm as he opened his own chopsticks, pulling them apart and settling them on the plate before reaching out to grab Shane's wrist.
"Hold on silly. Here." He took the chopsticks out of his hand, pulling them apart before giving them back and picking up his own. "Ok, so you hold them like this." Reed moved his hand closer to Shane's so that he could see what to do.
"Like this?" Shane waved his hand around after figuring out the proper way to hold the thin sticks. The blonde nodded as he set his chopsticks back down and placed his fingers onto Shane's hand, moving his thumb and pointer.
"It's kind of like holding a pencil, except don't move your whole hand. Just move these two fingers." He grabbed his own chopsticks, picking up a piece of sashimi and popping it into his mouth. Shane looked around the plate for something simple, wanting to play it safe since he still wasn't sure on how sushi tasted. He found one that looked pretty innocent and picked it up. About an inch off the plate his fingers slipped, sending the sushi back down to the plate and one of the chopsticks flying into Reed's lap.
"Uhh…" Shane looked like a deer caught in headlights. "You… Didn't see that. Wow, that's embarrassing. I can't believe that just happened. Oh gosh I bet I look ridiculous right now, and I'm probably embarrassing you. Maybe I should just mash it up and eat it with a fork, kinda like a sala-" He looked down, eyes slightly going cross eyed looking at Reed's finger, which was resting on his lips. Shane watched as he picked the chopstick off his lap, setting it down on a napkin before pulling the other out of Shane's hand and setting it next to it's partner.
"Shane, you're fine. It's your first time eating with chopsticks. I don't expect you to become a pro at eating with them after your first try." Reed picked up the piece that Shane dropped, holding it up to his mouth. "Well? Eat it." His cheeks were bright pink as he looked to Shane expectantly. Shane looked from the sushi to Reed a few times before grinning and leaning in to eat the sushi.
"You know, this is sorta romantic. You feeding me something I've never tried before." He wiggled his eyebrows, smirking.
"Shane!" Reed reached over the table and smacked his shoulder lightly, blushing hard before mumbling "Mood killer."
