The Causeway, Sunday Evening

[myownface]

Sparkle bounced on his toes as he waited to meet Hernando on the Causeway for their date. He'd... kind of panicked. Being given a couple of days to come up with something good given the date that Hernando had arranged had left him flailing, and now he was second-guessing basically everything, ever. But it was too late to back out now, even if his choice for the evening was less about art and more about ambiance.

He desperately hoped that the place wouldn't be swamped with kids.

He also hadn't even gotten as far as making dinner reservations.

Tonight was going to be interesting, okay?

[OOC: For that guy!]

Comments

Sparkle laughed, leaning against Hernando the entire way, and then leaning forward just long enough to open the taxi door.

"Decorum, yup," he laughed. "That's definitely a word I use in all kinds of sentences referring at least in part to me."

[hernando_fuentes]

"Sparkle, please, you could be perfectly decorous if you wished to. You simply do not wish to," Hernando grinned, "And I would not have you any other way."

He smoothly slid inside.

The cab.

[myownface]

The cabbie would certainly be thankful for that, anyway.

"Well, now I have no reason to ever have decorum ever," Sparkle laughed as he slid into the cab, pausing to tell the cabbie their destination before adding, "I guess that means trouble, huh?"

[hernando_fuentes]

"You did advise me that you were trouble," Hernando pointed out with a smile. He gently bumped Sparkle's shoulder with his to show he was teasing. As if the tone didn't indicate as much.

[myownface]

"Well, I wouldn't want you to be surprised by that one," Sparkle replied, leaning in to bump his shoulder right back, grinning as the cab started on its way. "It's not like it's even a small amount of it."

[hernando_fuentes]

"I heard you managed to find some trouble at a casino in the recent past," Hernando teased him, "Though Kaidan wouldn't couldn't tell me what."

[myownface]

"What happens in the casino," Sparkle quipped, smirking. "We'll have to make our own trouble, I'm afraid."

Sorry, Hernando. You were dating a total shitmagnet.

[hernando_fuentes]

His best friend was Kaidan. He was used to it.

"I'm not afraid in the slightest," he murmured right back.

[myownface]

"See, that just means I'm going to have to make it a really good one," Sparkle decided.

He... would probably try to avoid incidents like that time he'd been cracked upside the head with a baseball bad in the back room of a bar. Or that time he'd had a gun waved at him in a bar. Or that time he'd been physically ejected from a bar by an angry Besalisk guy, or...

[hernando_fuentes]

Lesson in this is to never take Sparkle into a bar.

"Try and make it the fun kind of danger instead of the painful if you have a choice, please," Hernando smiled at him.

[myownface]

"Remind me again," Sparkle laughed, "which was the fun kind, again?"

[hernando_fuentes]

Hernando threw him a wicked little grin, "Ask me later and maybe if you're good I'll show you."

[myownface]

"Ooo," Sparkle chuckled. "I guess I'm going to have to behave, then."

[hernando_fuentes]

"Please," Hernando laughed quietly, "not on my account!"

[myownface]

"Oh no," Sparkle laughed back, "this is entirely selfish behaving. I want you to show me."

Like, a lot.

[hernando_fuentes]

"Do you?" Hernando asked with a pleased smile, "That could be arranged."

[myownface]

"Oh, could it?" Sparkle's smile went a little bit sly. "And I have to wait until later to know the specifics, do I?"

[hernando_fuentes]

"Possibly to experience them," Hernando replied, relaxing lazily back against the cab seat. "I could tell you all about them as we walk the aquarium but quietly. In case of children."

[myownface]

Sparkle bit his lip, grinning around his teeth and leaning his head back as he considered that.

"Quietly," he agreed. "In case of children."

Hell yeah, please.

[hernando_fuentes]

Hernando simply smiled in response. Sparkle's response when Hernando had talked about food he enjoyed had been delightful. Sparkle's response when Hernando began talking about enjoying Sparkle would hopefully prove the same.

[myownface]

Sparkle was so going to end up pressing Hernando up against the jellyfish tank and kissing him stupid, yeah.

The trip didn't take long, at least, and Sparkle paid the cabbie in cash he'd quite possibly pilfered from his own till at the clothing shop before slipping out of the car.

"Aquarium!"

Ta-daaa!

[hernando_fuentes]

Hernando would be fully in favor of this plan, yes.

He stepped out of the cab and smiled up at the building. "This.. is a big aquarium."

[myownface]

"I figured if we were going to look at fish today, we ought to look at a lot of fish," Sparkle shared. "So..." He spread his hands and gestured up at the place. "Big aquarium!"

It was probably cooler inside, though.

[hernando_fuentes]

Hernando laughed quietly. Then he leaned in to nuzzle Sparkle again. "Thank you for bringing me here. Shall we go in?"

[myownface]

"Unless you really wanted to spend the rest of the day standing out here," Sparkle agreed, smiling and nuzzling right back. "It doesn't seem too too busy today, at least. That's a good sign."

He reached for Hernando's hand for a moment, and then looked back to the front door before starting toward it.

"Okay, aquarium." Yes, Sparkle, aquarium. "In we go."
