I could be normal and stop having it end like that... but its fun this way... Thanks for the reviews... and I loves them... they make me happy so I write more... and you wants me too...?
I had to do some research, which I'm kind of sad to say... because I don't know too much French... and or proper etiquette... so you can be sure that this stuff is useable... maybe... some of it... none at all?
And I dedicate this chapter... which I re-read? To a certain person who keeps feeding me delicious reviews... –bows-
Oh and a... some swearing... LOVE MAKES YOU OOC... it had to be said
A few moments later the woman returned placing both glasses of water down and giving another quick smile to Athrun before leaving again. Shinn glared in her direction once more
"I don't like her..." Shinn hissed crossing his arms childishly.
"Hmm... and why is that?" Athrun blinked as he taking a sip of the cool liquid.
"... I... just don't..." Shinn looked away and Athrun smiled into the glass. The boy was so easily seen through
A few moments later of small conversation, two plates were brought back and the nameless woman smiled at them
"Hope you enjoy your food... I'll be back to take your order." With that she left, the red eyed teen was confused, hadn't they just ordered? He quickly dismissed the thought and looked at the food that sat in front of him, Shinn than proceeded to eye his plate of the interesting looking meal. His plat was small, and the food didn't really cover half of the tiny dish. The food was as he ordered, Shrimp wrapped in ham with small strips of leek and tomato. And Shinn started to wonder what the sauce was. Yet despite it all, the food was arranged so nicely it looked more like art rather than food and he didn't want to ruin such delicate work. Athrun looked at Shinn, he than assumed he was confused by the plentiful utensils; he decided to intervene before he hurt himself.
"It's the fork closest to your plate..." Athrun motioned to his own fork and picked it up. Shinn smiled lightly in appreciation and embarrassment, he than picked up his own fork. Shinn studied Athrun as he ate. He used the knife to cut small peaces of the deer and duck that sat on his plate with its soft layer of gooseberry jam. Once he had taken the small peace he placed his fork on the dinner plate that sat beneath the dish he was eating off of. Shinn copied the way Athrun was eating. Once done Athrun didn't push the plate away, instead he placed the fork along the side. Athrun looked At Shinn, gently wiping his mouth with the cloth napkin and than sat his wrists on the edge of the table. Shinn managed to finish shortly after Athrun, so not to seem rude, mimicking the older teen's position. Shinn was about to start a conversation when the waitress decided to return, making Shinn frown.
"I'll take those, and please, take your time ordering your main course." She smiled sweetly again making Shinn slide even further into his seat as she took the smaller plate off the larger one and handed them another menu. Why did there have to be so many courses to a single meal?
"She knows how to tick me off..." Shinn mumbled after the woman was out of sight
"What? But you don't even know her Shinn... have you even bothered to find out her name, her story, her hopes and dreams?" Athrun asked looking through the menu, sounding rather profound.
"I don't want to know who she is, I want to mock her without the guilt that would come after if I knew any intimate details... so I don't have to worry about it and when I see her again, I can laugh and tell her what a son of a bitch she is for bothering me while I was out on a date, ha... that'd make her feel stupid..." Shinn said quietly, but coldly, causing Athrun to give him a stern look
"Shinn, don't say such things. I know you don't like her, and I'm not sure as to why. But you can't be saying that about people that are trying to serve you something to eat... you don't want to find something in your food do you?" Athrun then smiled softly seeing Shinn's eyes widen and the look of utter disgust that flashed across his face. He went to look through the menu quietly and rather paranoid.
The endless amount of choices in a language he didn't understand was getting to him, he was starting to hope the next thing he ordered wasn't a strange meat he wasn't familiar with, let alone to try and consume something of unknown origin.
Shinn stretched yawning lightly as the two left La Chaumiere and waited for the car to arrive. Athrun looked at Shinn who glanced around, the sun was almost directly above them and he blinked
"Is it noon already?" The red eyed youth said turning to Athrun, he looked at his watch and nodded. Shinn started to wonder why it took so long to eat something from that restaurant... no, he knew, it was because of all the courses.
"It's 10 past..." he informed Shinn; he looked a bit confused but got it in a few seconds. Athrun eyed Shinn as the car pulled up and they got in, a moment later Shinn became frustrated with the look and snapped at Athrun
"What are you looking at?" Shinn glared and Athrun cupped his chin
"You have something here..." the blue haired teen informed him and he blinked
"I do... Where?" it was amazing how easily Shinn's moods were swayed.
"Here..." Athrun said leaning forward capturing Shinn's lips in a chaste kiss for a second then pulled back, holding a piece of rice between his lips. The red eyed youth's eyes widened and he felt his face heat up.
"... Y-... YOU COULD'VE LET ME GET THAT!" Shinn couldn't think of anything else, all the while pointing accusingly at Athrun who blinked, still holding the offending grain between his lips. He tucked it between his teeth, effectively ridding them both of the rice.
"It's simply more fun this way..." Athrun gave Shinn a seductive smile, causing the younger teen to shut up.
"L-Let's... just... go..." Shinn stuttered when he could speak again, turning away from Athrun to avoid seeing anything like that again. But Shinn had to admit, it did look good on him.
The two slowly started a conversation, learning little facts about one another as they went along. Athrun began to understand the harsh ramifications behind Shinn's bold actions and what drove him to do what he did best. Annoy the hell out of everyone but a select few. Shinn felt a little depressed about learning why Athrun cared so much for Kira, the red eyed teen couldn't help but feel second best to his boyfriend's best friend. How could he not with the way Athrun spoke so passionately about him.
"You've been friends a long time then I gather..." Shinn concluded, wanting Athrun to say something different, but he knew that was false hope
"Yes... for a very long time..." Athrun smiled a serene smile. Shinn sighed to himself, clenching his fist against the door. A sudden change of subject would be a good thing right now, or he might just hunt Kira down and throttle him for being on his boyfriend's mind. Athrun risked a sideways glance at Shinn who was staring at the windshield as if it had wronged him. And if Shinn didn't look away the windshield might just have a whole burnt through it. Athrun's lips formed a thin line at that thought. "How has Lunamaria been doing?" This should work well enough for Shinn who seemed to forget the last thing they were talking about almost immediately.
"She's been doing well." He turned once more to face Athrun who let an internal sigh of relief out. "She says she wants to move out and start up a bed and breakfast sort of thing. She keeps telling me about what a good idea it is and that I should join her. I like Lunamaria and everything; I just don't think that I'm cut out for that type of work." Shinn sighed "I think I would get stuck talking to people at the front desk or something while she's off doing work that makes her a butt-load of money... I'm more the type for professional sports." Shinn concluded with a wide grin
"Oh... and how did you come to that conclusion...?" Athrun asked, if only to keep Shinn from slowly drowning into his own thoughts again
"Everyone is always telling me that I'm mean and aggressive... and in sports you can take that out and get paid for it." This was true, and Athrun was glad he didn't hear a 'Lunamaria said so' out of him. "I think you're the type for successful businesses..." Shinn said slowly, yet a little bitterly, to Athrun
"You think so... well... it's a good thing I am then huh?" Athrun allowed a small smile to tug at the corners of his lips "You better get working on the sports thing if you want to make it into the big leagues..." Athrun taunted seeing the scowl that spread across Shinn's face.
"I will, and when I make it... I'll have bragging rights..." Shinn crossed his arms, smirking in an evil way. Of course everything to Shinn was some sort of battle, but he was extremely passionate about what he did, and didn't want. And although he did let his tongue slip when it should be held, he meant everything he said. That was one of the good things about Shinn, he may have been brutal, but he was honest
"Cute..." Athrun simply said, watching the younger teen blush and sink into himself out of the corner of his eye. Oh yes... he would definitely have to see how this turns out.
