How about coffee creme brulee? Or maybe that would be too many coffee-like things?
[ Daisuke stares at the menu some more. He isn't used to coming to places like this, so he barely knows of most of the stuff on the menu. Though, he thinks trying out new things would be nice anyway. ]
[ Ah, coffee creme brulee ♪ but... Vacherin? ...Tsukasa's squinting at the menu, hmm. ]
...I've never heard of it... but it doesn't seem bad. Let's get some of that. ♪ Oh, and maybe some shortcake... They have melon. [ His favorite ♥ ] Pudding à la mode with meringue, candied fruit cupcakes, oreo truffles, genoise with raspberry filling... Ah, right, their white chocolate mousse torte's great too.
[ Tsukasa "I don't have a sweet tooth, I just eat sweets incidentally because of my friends" Suzakura. ]
[ Daisuke is usually all about saving money, but tonight--just for tonight--he'll make an exception. Time to treat himself!! ... It still feels weird doing so that isn't a legitimate meal (ex: I made some good sales today on commissions! We can eat steak today), but he'll live. ]
Yeah, let's go for cheesecake too!
[ He looks over the menu again and the waitress comes by with a notepad. She announces that there's a special discount for couples tonight. Probably something akin to Ladies Wednesdays. She seems to look at the two boys expectantly, but Daisuke is still staring at the menu to see if he wants anything else.
[ Cheesecake too then, maybe a few different flavors...~? Mmm, it's going to be so wonderful...
Ah, the waitress. Tsuaksa gives her a cheerful smile that wanes... ever so slightly... Did they look like a— well, this would be a popular date spot, he supposes. Discounts are good, especially for people who didn't get to work for a whole month, either... He has to think about how he's paying for this and that coming up too, even if the biggest expenses are taken care of...
........ ]
Ahhh, is that so...? [ Couples discount... couples discount... But he's not even remotely interested in him... but a discount... He'll gently kick his company under the table, um— ] Did you hear that, Daisuke? There's a special discount tonight. We sure picked a good night to come, right? I... think we should definitely take advantage of it...~?
[ ONE DAY HE'LL REGRET HIS CHOICES BUT TONIGHT IS NOT THE NIGHT AND HE WILL BEG FOR DAISUKE'S FORGIVENESS AT SOME POINT FOR THIS, SURELY. ]
[ He feels the kick under the table. It doesn't hurt at all, but it does get his attention. All he hears is what Tsukasa said about the discount, but not the reason why there's a discount in the first place. Because of that, it makes it very easy for him to say: ]
Yeah! We really did pick a good night to come here!
[ Because hell yeah, discounts!! The waitress smiles and jots it down. Daisuke also places his orders, which the waitress also writes down and then looks over to Tsukasa, waiting for his orders. ]
[ Oh, maybe he won't have to... ♪ Daisuke seems like he's unbothered by it, that's good. Tsukasa'll give his orders too, then lean back in his chair. He feels kind of bad taking advantage of it, but again, he really has to think about his money situation right now...~ ]
It'd be nice if they had a "free dessert" special or something too... Like, you spend a certain amount of money, and then you get one thing off the menu free as a bonus... Discounts are good, but free stuff's even better, right?
[ Since the waitress is still here, Daisuke looks over at her. She smiles and tells them that since they ordered this many things, they'll even throw in a bonus dessert that is less than $5! Though it's not much of a selection, it's something. Daisuke seems pleased to hear about this, but he's fine with what he has now. ]
You can pick the free one too, if you want. I think I got all I wanted.
[ Because it's now that he realizes, they really did order a lot......... ]
[ Daisuke smiles as the waitress leaves. It's so nice to see other people be so happy. He glances at the side though, because he, too, feels like he's being watched. But after looking around while pretending to admire the surroundings, he doesn't see anything out of place and faces Tsukasa again. The thumbs twiddling helps him get an idea of what he should do. ]
I'm glad you took me here. Lots of cafes I know don't really have much options to choose from, but this one has a lot of variety. [ It's a start! ] You know a lot of food here too! Have you been here with someone before?
Ah, no, I usually come on my own... [ As. pathetic as that sounds? ] I'm afraid I'd get teased about how much I eat if I did~. "This isn't incidentally eating sweets, Tsukki!" or something...
[ He laughs a little, leaning back in his seat. Sena'd scold him, Nazuna'd probably tease him too, Anya... Tsukasa's smile falters for juuust a second before it's back, perfectly fine. ]
Are you going to bring someone here the next time you come?
[ "Tsukki" is a cute nickname, is a thought that vaguely passes in his mind. He watches Tsukasa talk and think on his question a little. ]
Well, I'd like to... but this place seems like it would be better if we come at night, and I don't want to give off the wrong impression by asking someone out at night with someone I like...
[ ...Tsukasa has a lot of nicknames, if he really thinks about it, but he doesn't; he just considers Daisuke's words and raises his finger. ]
Then just invite the person you like...? It'd be a nice date, right? [ Besides, what kind of wrong impression can someone get... They're just friends eating sweets together, it's nice. ]
[ How does he say this. Maybe he's overthinking it? ... He's definitely overthinking it. Or perhaps their thoughts aren't aligned at all. ]
You'd definitely bring your significant other here, right? [ This would have been a weird question to ask if Daisuke knew about the couples night thing going on, but he... doesn't. ]
...Well, um... if I had one, sure... but I'd also bring friends... [ on a night that isn't couples night. except maybe hinata. who would get a KICK out of pretending, he's sure. god that boy is embarrassing.
Wait, maybe he's got it— ] It's a nice place to propose, right?
Like, getting down on one knee while holding out a ring while everyone is watching?!
[ In a cafe?!
This might be too much for Daisuke to handle and his face is just getting super red like his eyes. It's made even more apparent because of how white his hair is. rip. ]
[ He sure feels a lot of pressure right now from attracting all the attention. It gets him to simmer down. He's trying his best to cool off and it eventually works. The waitress giggles and comes with their ordered food. Food is such a nice distraction. Daisuke arranges the plates, since he remembers which desserts were for him and Tsukasa. ]
[ Food is such a nice distraction, though Tsukasa's still embarrassed and it shows; he pokes at some of his desserts with a sigh, delighted at the prospect of sweets but... that whole debacle...... ]
...If you wouldn't mind... [ Daisuke'd ordered some pretty good stuff after all— ] Um... You can have some of mine too, if you want.
[ ... ]
S-Sorry for causing such a, um... a scene. [ Even if it was both their fault. Tsukasa's good weathering all the blame here. ] I hadn't meant anything, um... Well, I mean... Anyway, sorry.
Oh, no! It's fine... It's my fault too. I shouldn't have gotten so loud about it...
[ He laughs a little and looks down at his mango vacherin. It's sprinkled with bits of basil with vanilla ice cream on top of it. Daisuke pushes the vacherin plate towards Tsukasa to share it. ]
Let's just enjoy our food! It's what we came here for, after all.
