'Cause there's another one you're loving [Semi-Open, forward-dated to August 27]

[callmeryuzaki]

Who: Ryuzaki (DoppeL) and Blaise
Where: The Soda Barrel in Gateway City
When: Thursday, August 27, 2:45 PM
What: HE GOT ONE. Blaise is turning 18 soon and actually wants to "interview" for a... position.
Warnings: Ryuzaki is a creep.
Status: Ongoing/Semi-Open (please hit us up on plurk if your character saw what was going on in Ryuzaki's post and wants to intercept this date so we can map out the best way for the scene to go. EDIT: At this point in the log, it's unlikely that any character can positively change the outcome of the log's events. If that's OK and you still want to take a crack at it for the CR, disregard the edit!)




Even though Ryuzaki told Blaise not to be late, he most decidedly is, by about ten minutes. This was intentional. He just knows that the teen is going to be there, waiting hopefully, counting the seconds and getting flustered every moment he's not making an appearance.

He's serious about the "no one under 18" rule, but Blaise is close enough to that mark that he's absolutely willing to start getting to know the kid. Make him feel like he's being romanced a little, knowing full well that he'll fall fast and hard and that anticipation can only make him even more devoted.

He saunters up to the table, sliding into a seat across from the blonde young man.

"Nice to meet you in person, Blaise," he purrs, not mentioning his lateness to point it out or apologize for it.

Comments

"It won't be a burden at all! It's a real promise!" He's all lit up again and he gives an excited nod. "Deal!"

Blaise's first date is everything he imagined and so much more. Well, minus a kiss. But there's Ryuzaki's reasons for that. And everything else more than well makes up for it. He felt like a little kid in a candy store on Christmas with a certificate of everything for free.

Speaking of Ryuzaki's reasons...

Blaise leans back in his seat.

"I, uhm... I turn eighteen in September, on the twenty-first." The first person in Gateway City he's told his birthday to. "I hope you'll wait for me." And if you can't, I understand.

Blaise is still a little shocked that anyone would be interested in him. He's kind of prodding for the security that he is, indeed, worth Ryuzaki's time.

[callmeryuzaki]

The Christmas metaphor is apt; this kid's like a fully trimmed tree. Ryuzaki listens to him promise it so easily, like it's the most natural and obvious thing in the world to make sure that he's satisfied. "Deal," he agrees, quirking a brow and giving the boy a half smile.

"The twenty first?" he asks, sounding mildly interested. "Well, it's not so long to wait, is it? Though I imagine to you it feels like an eternity, as excited as you seem to be about these magical secrets of adulthood. Don't fret. It'll go by in a flash. As birthdays go, yours will be a good one. I have a feeling."

[sparklingscarlet]

Blaise smiles eagerly. The excitement of his birthday hadn't felt this good for almost as long as he could remember. He gets ready to say something, but his phone rings. His face drops and his eyes go wide. He gives a nervous, apologetic smile.

"S-sorry. One second."

He pulls out his phone and answers it.

"Hi, mom.... Oh, you both will? ... Yea, I'll just need to pick up some stuff on the way home. Love you, too. Bye."

He hangs up the phone and looks back at Ryuzaki.

"I'm sorry. My parents both have to work late tonight, so I need to go to the store and get some stuff to make dinner with. Uhm... Do you think we could hang out again, really soon?"

[callmeryuzaki]

The ring of Blaise's phone gets an interested glance from Ryuzaki, but he remains outwardly patient as the young man answers it.

Love you, too? Isn't that just the sweetest thing.

"Really soon?" he asks, mulling it over as he considers his options for free time, as if he doesn't have very much of it and needs to dole it out accordingly. "Hmm... yes. That would be agreeable, certainly. They're so lucky to have such an obedient son."

He stands, stretching. "If you want a hug, I suppose that's all right with me."

[sparklingscarlet]

Blaise smiles at the obedient son comment and that he gets to see Ryu again soon.

"Alright, when would you be able to hang out again? Do you need to look at your calender? I can contact you on the Network when I get home, if you want!"

Ryuzaki probably barely gets that sentence out of his mouth before Blaise latches on. A hug! It's a hug! He's okay with it! Yay! If Blaise were a dog, his tail would be wagging so fast, he'd look like a peacock. This is mine! No one else can have it!

[callmeryuzaki]

"Yes... something like that," he muses, with that slow, secret smile of his. "I have to check my appointments with my clients, for one, but it should be doable within... well, at least within the next few days."

He seems a little surprised when Blaise rushes to hug him so eagerly and so quickly, but gamely and chastely returns it. "Until next time? Take care of yourself."

[sparklingscarlet]

Blaise nods excitedly.

"I will! You, too!"

He gives Ryu a quick squeeze before he scurries off down the street.
