In the bar.. [DELL]

[Kamui Gakupo]

Gakupo takes a deep breath while he stared at the building. The time he had met Dell in the park, they had talked a bit.. sort of.. before the other had to go to some appointment.
He hated to admit it but he was very nervous. He wore black, -a bit- tight, clothing. Hoping it would slightly show off his body.. or make him at least look good.
Gakupo had secretly been looking forward to seeing the other. Well.. who wouldn't?
Finally he decided to go inside. He looked around in the bar. Thank Kami-sama that it wasn't too busy. Gakupo walks to a table in the corner and sits down in a chair. He quickly checks his watch to see what time it was.. yes, Gakupo was there a bit early, though he had wasted most of the time staring at the entrance.

[Honne Dell]

Dell ran from his office building, bursting through the doors and nearly knocking over several people as he did so. He was released from his meeting an hour late, and was in a huge rush to get home now. The man from the park earlier, Gakupo, had asked him if he wanted to go drinking with him tonight. Dell agreed without thinking, and was supposed to be at the bar in twenty minutes. There was no way he could make it on time. Dell quickly hopped on the bus, standing up the entire ride home. Of course, he was already ten minutes late by this point. Dell ran into the apartment building, taking the elevator to the 16th floor where Haku and himself lived alone. Dell walked into the apartment, and of course, Haku wasn't home. He stripped on the spot before he dashed to the shower and scrubbed himself down. He even went as far as shaving afterwards. He brushed his teeth, straightened his hair, then pulled the majority of it back into a ponytail. He dressed up in a pair of leather pants he wore when going to bars and such. They were tight, so hopefully made his figure look decent. He didn't know why he was trying to look impressive. Surely it wasn't for Gakupo himself, maybe they would pick up some women there or something. He wore a silky gray dress shirt, unbuttoning it a bit so he exposed some chest. He shoved his wallet into his pocket, wrote a note for Haku before he stuck it to the fridge and ran out the door. He hopped on the bus, riding it until he reached downtown. Now he was forty-five minutes late. He ran down the streets, then found the place they were supposed to meet. He quickly stormed in, then looked around for Gakupo. He saw a flash of purple, then ran over to him. He sat down at table across from him, wheezing and completly out of breath. "S-Sorry! I was late!" He frowned, laying his head down on the table. "I got let out la-later then I expected and..." Dell cut himself off, then sunk into his chair. "Huuu... sorry..."

[Kamui Gakupo]

Sighing, he looked at his watch again.. Dell was fifteen minutes late. Should he be surprised?
Gakupo ordered something to drink to keep himself busy and to not look like a total loser. Some already looked at him a bit weird because he had been sitting there for a little while, not doing a thing except for staring at random things like the ceiling, a table, a lamp.. and towards the entrance.
He sipped and had his eyes on the table again. Would Dell even show up? Gakupo didn't want to sit there the whole evening all by himself. He decided he'd wait max. an hour, not longer.. if Dell wasn't there by then, he'd either hit on some random guy, get drunk or go home.. the last sounded the most inviting.
Around forty-five minutes later, he was about to take a look at his watch again when Dell suddenly popped up. He stared slightly when the other was panting, obviously having tried his best to get here as fast as possible. Gakupo couldn't help but smile a little bit to himself.
"It's alright.. am glad you even bothered to come." he said chuckling slightly. "Take some time to breath and then decide on what to drink." Gakupo looked intently at Dell. "You look.. nice." He didn't want to say 'amazing', almost too embarrassed to do so. After all, he still didn't know if the other was a homophobe or not.

[Honne Dell]

Dell wiped his bangs from his forehead. He was sweating now, beads rolling down his face and chest. Great, all his efforts he put into looking clean were completely gone. Dell finally managed to get control over his breathing, and he stood up. "I'll be back," He murmured, walking over to the counter where the bar tender was cleaning some glasses. He leaned over the table, then stuck two fingers up. He would just order what he usually drank, and hoped Gakupo wouldn't mind it. "Zoladkowa Gorzka." He ordered, his favorite kind of vodka. It was bitter at first, but had a strangely plesant after taste. It was 40% alcohol, so it would take at least two to get him buzzed. When the bar tender gave Dell the drinks, he walked back over to the table and set them down. "Here." Dell forced a smile. He did owe Gakupo, anyhow, seeming as he was so late. Dell sat back down, then played with the icecubes in his glass. "I really am sorry I'm late. I came as fast as I could," Dell murmured, being honest. He wasn't trying to blow him off, even though they were just going out for a casual drink. "Stupid work. I hate it." He grumbled, his eyes narrowing as he took a drink from the glass.

[Kamui Gakupo]

Gakupo simply nodded and watched him walk to the counter. Wondering what the other had ordered, he looked at them while the bartender handed over the drinks. Would it contain a high or low alcohol percentage? Oh well.. not like it mattered much.
Blushing slightly, it being barely visible, he nodded. "Thank you." He stared a bit at the glass and poked an ice cube. Gakupo looked up as the other male spoke. "It's ok.." he answered, nodding confirmingly. "I understand. But now you're here, lets think of something nice and have a fun time."
Hesitantly taking the glass in his hand, Gakupo decided to try it instead of asking what it was.. it's not like it would suddenly contain poison. Heh.. he and his paranoia. Taking a sip, he was surprised at the taste of it.. and the slight burning sensation. "It's nice.." He mumbled. Oh dear.. this promised to be an odd evening?

[Megurine Luki]

Dell watched him, nodding in agreement. Despite the fact that he was exhausted, he would do his best to not act crabby. He took another drink, hoping that soon he would be too drunk to even know what he was doing. He noticed Gakupo's expression when he took a drink, and he frowned. "Do you not like it?" He asked, tilting his head to the side. He then shrugged. "Eh, it is quite bitter. I don't blame you." Dell smiled, setting his glass down. He settled into his chair, crossing his legs as he sunk in lightly. He would try his best to be positive and not pick on the bad things.
Dell, however, couldn't help but wonder. Was this... a date? He asked himself, blinking slowly. Usually Dell never went out on dates. In his case, he would go to the bar, meet a person, drink, then go home with them and never speak again. He didn't want things to be like that with Gakupo. He liked this man. Gakupo didn't piss him off like the others did.

[Kamui Gakupo]

Smiling sweetly, he shook his head. "I do like it. It's a bit different from what I usually have." he said chuckling. Indeed different.. a lot stronger. Gakupo hoped he wouldn't do anything stupid if he would get drunk, which was most likely to happen at some point. "What is it?" he whispered.
He couldn't keep his eyes off Dell. The staring wasn't too obvious.. was it?? But the simple things the other did seemed fascinating for no particular reason. The alcohol must really be getting to me.. He thought to himself, not remembering the last time he behaved this dumb.
"So~.." Gakupo didn't really have an idea of what to do. "Tell me something?" Damn, Gakupo must be boring. He did want to know more about Dell though..
Curiousity killed the cat samurai.

[Honne Dell]

Dell just watched him, taking another sip of his drink. He felt a small buzz, but ignored it and continued to drink. He didn't like this awkwardness, and hopefully both of them would soon enough get too drunk to even care about anything. Dell watched the other man contently, not quite sure what to say. "Like what?" He frowned. There was nothing interesting to tell about himself, he didn't think anyway. "Uh. I work three jobs. And I have a sister and a brother that don't do shit, explaining why I work three jobs. I was off to an interview for another one when we met." He went on, taking yet another drink before he swallowed all the contents in the glass. His vision was starting to blur, but overall, he felt fine. He hoped this wouldn't last much longer.

[Kamui Gakupo]

"Anything is fine.." he replied, shrugging. Gakupo watched him carefully when he listened to the other male talking, taking a sip to times. By the end of the 'story', he was frowning slightly.
"Damn.. you work a lot." Hmm.. Looking at his glass, he noticed it was almost empty. He quickly drank the last bit. Too bad.. Oh well, who cares?
"You should take some time to relax." Gakupo grinned a bit. "With me." Chuckling slightly when he realized he said it out loud instead of thinking it.

[Sorry XD had to reply quickly because have to go already -at dad's place- Else it would have been longer with some luck XD]

[Honne Dell]

[Oh god. Sorry it took so long to reply to this. : A:]

At the end of his rant, Dell slowly lifted a hand and covered up his mouth. He realized that he talked alot. About things that other people didn't care about. "Sorry, I was rambling." He mumbled, then looked away shyly. Despite Dell complaining about his home life, the man still seemed interested in him. "Well, I am relaxing right now, aren't I?" Dell attempted to smile, but it looked strange coming from the cranky man's sour features. He gave a deep sigh, sinking into his chair. He took yet another shot, then swallowed the contents in one drink. The alcohol instantly burned his throat, sending a buzz through his body. "A-Ahh.." He closed his eyes, shuddering as the alcohol ran through his veins. After the effect wore off, he ran his hand through his silver hair. "This is nice... I need to get out more." He mumbled, then realized he had never asked Gakupo anything about his own life. "O-Oh! T-Tell me something about yourself, Gakupo. I've been complaining about everything for the past five minutes, so why don't you rant to me now?" Dell frowned, rubbing his temples now. Alcohol made him anxious, so he rocked back in forth in his chair, shuddering every now and then.

[Kamui Gakupo]

"Ah, but I don't mind," Gakupo answered smiling ", I enjoy listening to you." He watched the other carefully. Even though Dell didn't intend to be so, but he was kind of cute.. the way he tried to smile was funny.
Sighing, he shook his head slightly. "That's not how I meant it.." for a moment he looked in his eyes before looking away again. "But that's how the innocent think." He laughed slightly..
"About myself, hm?.." He fumbled with his empty glass while thinking for a bit. "There's nothing special to tell.. I help teaching kendo, and sometimes I perform. That's supposed to be work for me," Gakupo mumbled ", but I'm enjoying it. I love singing and dancing..." He ran a hand through his hair and smiled sweetly.
"Are you alright?"

[Honne Dell]

Dell sighed enviously, listening to the other man explain his life. Gakupo sounded so laid back, as if he had a simple life style. Dell was jealous of that, everything was so chaotic in his life. He could nearly imagine the elegant man dancing, his movements swift and breathtaking with a stunning voice to take the cake. Realizing he was day dreaming, Dell shook his head and sat up."You should teach me to dance sometime." Dell smiled softly, resting his face on his propped up hand. Singing, of course, was out of the question. Dell couldn't sing to save his life. He closed his eyes for a moment, his vision blurry. Things were starting to grow fuzzy. Without thinking, Dell laid his head on the table, shaking lightly. His face was red and burning from the effects of the alcohol. His body didn't tolerate it very well. "H-Hnn... what do you mean?" He managed to slur out, grasping his glass tight in his hand.

[Kamui Gakupo]

"Sure," Gakupo smiled amused ", I'd love to teach you how to dance some time." That could actually be fun.. and maybe he could somehow manage to be closer than he actually should. On the other hand, Dell would make a good friend so why ruin it? Now he also started to wonder how the other man would sound if he sang. Even though the silver haired man smoked a lot, he still imagined it to be nice.
Gakupo got up and bended over the table. "You don't seem to be alright, my dear." He placed a hand on Dell's shoulder. "I thought you'd take it better than me." he said smiling. Softly, Gakupo started to stroke his hair. "But maybe you're drunk enough now to pick up anyone without having to remember a bad night tomorrow morning." He chuckled slightly at the idea of it. Unconsciously he had started to look around.. would there be a girl of who he thought Dell would pick if he decided to do so?.. Secretly he hoped not.

[Honne Dell]

Dell couldn't help but shudder as he felt Gakupo's hands run through his silver hair. It wasn't a bad shudder, either. He enjoyed the feeling and found it comforting. The other man's hands were warm, soft and gentle. Something that he wouldn't expect from a samurai. He lifted up his head, looking at Gakupo with watering crimson eyes. It's not that he was crying, but the alcohol was burning his eyes? "I'm fine." Dell murmured, sighing happily still at the feel of his hands. "A-Ahh.. no, of course not. I'm here to be with you, not some other man." He murmured, then caught himself on that sentence. He blinked, then covered his mouth with his hand. "...w-woman, I mean." He corrected himself quickly, his cheeks burning. What would Gakupo think of him now that he knew Dell's interest was in fact men? He was a terrible liar, so he knew his frail attempt at covering up would do nothing.

[Kamui Gakupo]

He heard that well, right?.. Men.. No straight guy would make that kind of mistake, right? Even when drunk..? Damn it, don't have so many doubts, you can always try to look if you were right by mentioning you're one yourself.
"Oh, I see." He looked carefully at his face. "I'd choose some cute guy, but I'm quite enjoying having you with me so I got no reason to now." He softly stroked from behind his ear to his jaw, and then chuckled, pulling his hand back. "You're adorable too though.." You can also go too far..
He sat down again, never taking his eyes of Dell's face, ready to watch his reaction. Somehow he could still imagine the other get mad at him or something alike.. he couldn't imagine a surprised or happy expression on Dell so, that was no option.
