What does Athrun have planned...? I wonder... Here we are... more things for you to read.
And Thanks for the reviews... And I only own the random sometimes nameless people. But I do not own any of the places... Like a restaurant... cause I never mention any other places... just describe...
wow... kinda long...
Shinn blinked at Athrun, what had the other meant by that? Sure, it's always nice to be treated really well, but never had he thought about it as being pampered like a king.
"Well... yes I would but... I can't afford to do something like that..." Shinn admitted sighing heavily.
"You won't have to worry about that, I'd be taking care of it for you..." Athrun said, Shinn's head snapped up to look at him, if he had been any faster, he might've given himself whiplash. But the idea of depending on someone to take care of him was a scary thought. He liked to think of himself as being independent, and to relay on Athrun for something would be exactly he opposite.
"No, don't do that! That's stupid, I mean, I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself. And I'm getting along fine... without... your help..." Shinn started to calm down the closer the end of his sentence drew. "I didn't mean it like I said... I just feel like I'm using you..." Shinn's face fell towards the ground, missing the expression that crossed Athrun's face
"Oh no... It wouldn't be using... I would be treating you..." Athrun tried to coax the younger teen into the idea.
"Yeah... like some charity..." Shinn scoffed, crossing his arms, all the while keeping hold of Athrun's hand. Seeing as there was nothing the blue haired teen could think of that would make the younger boy change his mind, he simply led him down the hall of the small apartment complex.
"I think Lunamaria might be stopping by later today" Athrun informed Shinn, he already knew that.
"Well, yeah, she's going to be stopping by later tonight like she normally does..." Shinn perked up for a moment, allowing his hands to fall back to his sides. "She likes to come over and talk about her day, she wanted to have dinner together I think... she mentioned something about that while I was ign-... umm... listening..." Shinn was about to tell Athrun the truth, but he would've felt like blushing. Athrun did chuckle hearing the pause, but he didn't question the other. The emerald eyed teen opened the door of his car for Shinn once they were outside.
"So... where are we going...?" Shinn questioned the older boy, slowly getting into the car
"Take a guess... You're hungry, and I told you, I intend you treat you like royalty... all... day... long..." Athrun cooed leaning closer and closer still, so he could see his little boyfriend squirm.
"You... r-really don't have too..." Shinn tried in vain to protest but got the car door as a response. Shinn blinked then turned to watch Athrun seat himself in the driver's side of the vehicle. "Then are we going to a restaurant Mr. big shot... or just to your house?" Shinn narrowed his eyes. Still Shinn dared to pick fights; it must've been a fun hobby for the red eyed youth. Athrun smirked at the new nickname, he was sure Shinn would give him plenty more.
"It's a secret..." Athrun informed Shinn, still smiling.
Athrun looked at Shinn, who was dressed in his normal cloths that made him look like he was much younger than he really was. And Athrun shock his head, to be treated like royalty one must look it first. And the blue haired teen could only assume that Shinn didn't have anything special in his closet to say the least; so first thing was first. Athrun would take the boy to get a new batch of cloths, and he knew exactly were to take the youth. Once they started driving, Shinn was thinking intensely on what this 'secret' could be. Of course it had to be a place for eating, which was the purpose of going out to eat. The younger teen's brow wrinkled. He never really went anywhere special to eat... unless you count the fast food chains that lined the streets. He blinked watching the trees go by in an area he'd never been. Moments later they pulled up in front of a brick building that had shrubbery set in the front and along the sides in all the right places. Athrun got out then once more escorted the other boy up to the building.
Once inside Shinn became rather confused. The walls were covered in manikins that wore clothing he couldn't afford to touch none the less wear. The floors were adorned with delicate carpets that made you question why they would display such peaces on the floor. But you had to remove your shoes to actually enter the place as Shinn was happily informed of by one of the men that entered. Shinn and Athrun removed their shoes and into slippers were they fallowed the stout man in. Athrun looked over at Shinn who was taking in all that surrounded him. Mirrors, clothing, and fitting rooms, much like any normal fashion store, but for one key element. The people there were assembling the suits and fancy clothing to the very will of the buyer, if the person wanted a shorter sleeve, so be it. Shinn turned to Athrun once the short man showed them to their own little set of mirrors.
"A-Athrun... I hope you noticed but..." Shinn leaned closer and whispered "You can't eat anything here..." Athrun smiled broadly
"Don't worry Shinn, that'll come soon enough." He patted Shinn on the head and the Short man interrupted
"Hello Mr.-... Shinn was it?" The man asked hearing the older teen say his name "My name is Takumi... You can pick out anything you like, and once you have... we'll make it into something you'll love." The short man informed them rather happily. Shinn nodded slowly "And once you have picked it out, please return here so we can alter it." With that Shinn slowly made his way into what seemed like endless streams of clothing. Not sure if he should be doing this, and most of the cloths didn't really catch his attention. He finally stopped in front of a tux. It was simple and classic, but the classics are always the good ones. It had a red button up shirt, and a black tie to go with the rest of the suit. But he wasn't fond of the simple fabric that covers the front of the blood red shirt.
"Do you like it!" the stout man called Takumi popped up scaring Shinn
"Nyaa!" Shinn spun around looking at the man "W-Well... I do... but I would change a few thing... s... hey..." The man had grabbed the suit and Shinn's arm dragging him back over to the rather unnecessary large change rooms.
"Here, call when you're ready for adjustments" the man tried to reach the hook, failing he passed the cloths over to Shinn and stood off to the side. The youth blinked at all the mirrors in the change room. Why someone would want to see every part of them endlessly was beyond him.
Athrun was already being fitted with a new suit. Underneath the rather plane outfit was a turtle neck. He seemed to like them more than he should, and out of all colors it was a pale green. There was no need to a tie or bow and the short man kept going on about how great Athrun looked in the outfit. He smiled turning to Takumi
"I'll take it as is... and I'm paying for Shinn's outfit as well." The small man smiled oddly
"Of Cooouuuuurse..." he dragged out and he rubbed his hands together in strange manner. Athrun turned his attention away from the queer display in front of him back to himself in the mirrors, making minor adjustments as he saw fit.
Shinn glared at his many selves as he looked at himself. His hair didn't match his outfit like Athrun's would match his. And soon Shinn found himself loosening the cuffs of the pants and sleeves, the tie fell to the floor and unbuttoned the first two buttons. He looked up again at himself and sighed, this would have to do... he was never going to do up the jacket anyways. He pushed open the mirrored door and glanced around nervously.
Athrun caught Shinn's reflection in the mirror and turned. Silently scolding Shinn for making adjustments himself, but none the less it looked good on him. The small man huffed, obviously not happy about not helping.
"So Shinn... do you like it...?" Athrun asked walking over to the younger boy.
"As much as I'm going to but I ca-" Shinn was cut off by Athrun placing a hand over his mouth. This gained Athrun a glare.
"I already told you, that I'm treating you today..." Athrun said smoothly and won Shinn over, who simply nodded.
The car pulled up in front of a restaurant Shinn had never seen in his life he wasn't even sure he'd been down this part of the now peaceful Orb. It looked as if it was a five stare bed and breakfast from it's size, not only that, but men and woman stood on the outside, waiting to get in. The parking lot had chauffeurs to park the cars for people who pulled up. Athrun did just that. Shinn was walking relatively close to Athrun, feeling very out of place. These people looked like they came to places like this often, that they always looked like they owned everything. And the younger teen couldn't help but shrink some into himself. Athrun rolled his eyes at Shinn's sudden shyness and continued over to the entrance. The man at the front nodded to Athrun.
"He's with me..." Athrun gestured towards Shinn, and the nameless man nodded letting them in. Shinn glance back at the people still waiting in line and turned to Athrun
"I-Is it okay for us to just butt in line like that, I mean... we didn't have to wait at all..." Shinn gently pulled on Athrun's sleeve. The older teen smiled softly at Shinn
"Oh no, I had a seat reserved" Shinn gave him a weird look, what had Athrun been planning, he had a table at this place 'reserved'? The red eyed youth pouted slightly at the thought; if Athrun came here a lot then it wasn't that un-normal for him to have a seat reserved almost permanently. But Shinn was pretty sure that wasn't the case, and blushed at the thought. Had Athrun intended for them to go out to eat here, he did seem rather prepared when Shinn invited him to stay over. Athrun looked at Shinn, a bit confused by Shinn, but didn't bother questioning. Once at their seats both boys were handed a menu. At the top it said 'La Chaumiere'; everything written was in French and more utensils than actually necessary.
"Are you both ready to order your appetizers?" A girl with red hair and brown eyes popped into view, and Shinn swore to the gods if anyone else did that he'd pull a gun out of thin air and shoot them. Athrun nodded and looked at Shinn, whose face slowly became more and more confused. Athrun simply shook his head
"Yes... for me I'll have the Venison and Duck Pâté with Rosehip Confiture..." Athrun smiled politely at the woman and turned to Shinn
"I... ah... umm... I think I'll have..." Shinn's fingers slid up and down the page and he decided were ever he stopped he'd order. "The Prawn wrapped in Prosciutto with Leek and Baked Tomato...?" Shinn slowly said turning to look at the woman who nodded
"And what would you like to drink...?" She asked, more or less directed at Athrun, Shinn found himself becoming jealous
"I think we'll both start with water." Athrun informed her and she nodded and left. Shinn slowly turned to Athrun looking just as confused as before
"A-Athrun... what did I just order...?" Shinn said nervously and Athrun smiled softly
"You'll see it when it arrives..." Athrun smirked
