[He swats haphazardly at Joseph's hand (his aim is not so great right now, okay) and then starts making a little fort out of his glasses, empty and full. It's a pretty respectable fort, to be honest. He doesn't remember when he actually drank all of this.]

Now I have two drinks. Get your own.

[Which he will . . . end up paying for, because he promised, even if Joseph wasn't paying attention when he promised.]

[Joseph rolls his eyes as he swallows the bite he stole. (Although that fort is impressive for someone as intoxicated as Caesar is.)]

Just don't drink so much I have to carry your drunk ass out of here, alright? I will just leave you here and make you the staff's problem.

[He's lying, but he says it's like it's the truth if only because he's annoyed he's lost his drink before he even got a sip. And now he's having to look around until he spots the waitress and can get her attention again. This time he's very particular that his drink be put on his side of the table out of Caesar's reach before he goes back to eating.]

[Glancing at the waitress when she comes back, he considers that this might not be such an awful idea. Leaving with Joseph is - not going to work. He could make excuses, hang around. She likes him, he knows she does.]

[He knows better than to watch for too long, though, and so he turns back to Joseph and his food and begins applying himself to the task of eating.]


You steal good food, [he allows, and then reaches across the table with his fork to snag a noodle, more or less because he can and because it'll piss Joseph off.]

[personal profile] nextlineis 2015-07-25 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Joseph doesn't notice Caesar eyeing the waitress. Which is probably fortunate because he'd probably almost immediately start berating him for it. Not because he knows what's going on in Caesar's head, but he really can't stand watching Caesar's tactics with women. He's probably just a little pressed they actually work whereas Joseph's tactics tend to be more of a slow burn sort of thing.]

[When he spots the fork getting into his plate, he doesn't let Caesar get away, grabbing him by the wrist.]


I didn't steal it. [He bites the bite clean off Caesar's fork before letting his wrist go.] I just made an exchange. I'll still pay for it.

[personal profile] mylegacy 2015-07-25 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[He blinks owlishly when Joseph grabs his wrist, out of it enough that he just sort of goes limp in his grip and lets Joseph steal the food back, where normally he'd have flipped the damn table over in an effort to keep a single stupid noodle. When his wrist is released, he huffs and pulls it back to his chest. Yeah, Caesar is pretty much pouting right now.]

I don't think it counts as an exchange. You left some poor unsuspecting customer with that bug.

[Joseph grins crookedly as he starts twirling more pasta on his fork.]

Then it'll be funny when they get back to their table. It'll be them instead of us.

[Rather than shovel the pasta into his mouth though--since Caesar is sulking that damn much (which wow that is a) supposed to be Joseph's schtick into getting what he wants and b) weird as hell to see Caesar doing)--Joseph holds it out across the table, waving it a little. If Caesar goes for it, he might be a little bit of a shit and move it away a couple of times, but he'll let Caesar have the bigger bite than he was trying to steal.]

[personal profile] mylegacy 2015-07-25 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
Are you going to watch them eat it? That's cruel.

[But a little bit funny - enough so that he smiles without meaning to.]

[He blinks again at the fork hanging over the table. Why isn't Joseph eating that? Why is he just waggling it around like - oh. Caesar looks from the fork to Joseph to the fork again, suspecting a trap. Eventually he does go for it, though, only to be totally foiled when Joseph moves the fork away. Heat rises in his cheeks, and ordinarily this is when he'd back off and start giving Joseph the silent treatment, but this time he stubbornly persists until the fork stills.]

[At which point, not only does Caesar take the bite, but he wrenches the fork out of Joseph's grip with his teeth triumphantly. Leaning back across the table, he tips his chin up and pulls the fork out of his mouth, pointing it at Joseph in a silent taunt as he chews and swallows and trying very hard to ignore the fact that he's still a little red in the face.]
nextlineis: (★ won't you come on over baby?)

[personal profile] nextlineis 2015-07-25 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Is that supposed to make me mad?

[He asks that, trying to pretend like he isn't even a little bit irritated, but he is a little irritated. That's going to make eating a lot more difficult. At least Caesar's food could be finger food if he was a little less of a priss. But since he's committed to pretending not to care about it, he's just going to start picking up noodles with his fingers and eating that way.]

[Fuck you, Caesar. You didn't win!]

[personal profile] mylegacy 2015-07-25 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Ugh. Caesar wrinkles his nose at that. What a mess. It's embarrassing to be out in company with him, honestly.]

It was supposed to. But it just made you disgusting.

[He thinks about this for a moment, then amends it.]

More disgusting.
nextlineis: (☆ hey just think)

[personal profile] nextlineis 2015-07-25 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Joseph frowns, taking offense at Caesar's disgust.]

I'm not disgusting. How am I disgusting? I'm being resourceful here. [He points to Caesar.] You're the one driving me to desperate measures like this.

[personal profile] mylegacy 2015-07-25 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
You could just ask for your fork back, Jojo.

[He would probably even give it back! Maybe.]
nextlineis: (★ break break break)

[personal profile] nextlineis 2015-07-25 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Joseph pauses for a moment. His eyes widen only a fraction, but it's probably more than enough to tell Caesar that it didn't occur to him at all. For a guy who dislikes hard work, he has the tendency to make a lot of it for himself.]

I just figured you wouldn't give it back. [He shrugs, trying to appear as casual as can be while he resumes eating. That's his story and he's sticking to it.] Besides, I clearly don't need it.
mylegacy: <user name="pinkkuicons" site="tumblr.com"> (○ that carries me on)

[personal profile] mylegacy 2015-07-25 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
Jojo.

[Caesar sighs, exasperated, and leans forward to twine another few noodles around the fork, his own plate more or less forgotten by this point. He holds it out to Joseph, one eyebrow cocked expectantly.]

You need it. Use the damn fork.
nextlineis: (★ but i wonder what)

[personal profile] nextlineis 2015-07-25 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
[He raises an eyebrow and for a second doesn't take the bite if only because he's expecting Caesar to get back at him. But no, that's silly. Caesar wouldn't do something like that. Maybe if he was less exasperated with Joseph, he'd consider keeping the fork and bite just out of reach.]

[So Joseph happily takes the bite and reclaims his fork with a wide, cheeky grin.]


If you say so, Caesarino.
mylegacy: <user name="sawakonosadako" site="tumblr.com"> (○ so don't think)

[personal profile] mylegacy 2015-07-25 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
[He just. Smiles for a minute, happy watching Joseph be happy. It's comforting, he thinks, a little dizzy again, and leans his elbow on the table, chin on his hand.]

That's better, [he says quietly after a moment.] You're going to get us kicked out if you're not careful.

[And suddenly he decides he wouldn't mind if they did get kicked out. Suddenly he very much does want to go with Joseph after this, wherever he's going, even if it's a terrible idea.]
nextlineis: (★ into a weapon or a drug)

[personal profile] nextlineis 2015-07-25 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Joseph snorts. Surprisingly, he's never actually been kicked out of anywhere before in his life. Of course, that's mostly because when he eats out, it's with his granny and Granny Erina? She doesn't put up with bad manners or screwing around like they've been doing since they walked into this place.]

That waitress likes you too much to kick us out. And don't even bother denying it. The corner of her eyes, [he says, tapping the corner of one of his with a finger,] crinkle whenever she looks at you, which means her smile gets a little bigger. She also doesn't look you in the eye. She's looking at your nose. Plus even when she's talking to me, her body's turned just a little more in your direction than mine.

[Joseph may have missed Caesar considering the waitress, but the waitress has been near the table enough times that he hasn't missed her body language even a little. He takes another bite of food, although this time pointedly slurping it, and talks around it like the classy man he is.]

I'm surprised you haven't been taking advantage of it.

[WHICH IS NOT AN INVITATION TO START. HE'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO FINISH HIS MEAL WITHOUT BARFING, THANK YOU.]
mylegacy: <user name="narben"> (○ so take a look what you've done)

[personal profile] mylegacy 2015-07-25 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
[His eyes widen fractionally during this frankly surprising dissection of the waitress's body language. He knew all that. He had no idea Joseph knew it. It makes him wonder what Joseph sees when he looks at him, and that's not something he really wants to think about right now.]

[He considers his plate for a moment, toying with a piece of fried fish, and then looks up at Joseph with an unreadable expression.]


I didn't realize you were paying such close attention.

[He very pointedly says nothing about taking advantage, because. Well. He still might, and it's not really Joseph's business either way.]
nextlineis: (★ she's like oh my god)

[personal profile] nextlineis 2015-07-25 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
I'm always paying attention.

[Except for when he's not. So, the part about "always" is certainly an exaggeration. But there are things that he can't help but notice about people around him. Especially when he sees it over and over again. And he's paying just enough attention to Caesar right now to notice he's avoiding talking about taking advantage. It's a mixed blessing. On the one hand, Joseph doesn't really particularly want to hear about it any more than he wants to watch it unfold. But he also finds it a little weird Caesar isn't jumping at the chance to brag about how he's taking his time or whatever bullshit he wants to spout that Joseph will instantly begin tuning out. He doesn't know what to make of it. Especially since, he's also noticing Caesar playing with his food more than he's eating it.]

Eat, Caesar. I worked hard to get you that food and I'm not letting you let it go to waste. If you don't clear your plate, you don't get dessert.

[personal profile] mylegacy 2015-07-25 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
You always are, aren't you.

[When he smiles now, the corners of his eyes crinkle, just a little bit. He's sitting straight in his chair, his body turned entirely towards Joseph. And he's not looking Joseph in the eye, his gaze traveling instead from his nose to his chin to his mouth, where it snags for a brief, painful second before he looks down at his plate again.]

[He eats, because he's told to eat, and because that's what they came here for, isn't it, the food, not the company. Although the company is pretty good, too.]


What's for dessert, Jojo? [This careless, lazy, as he sinks back into the summery feeling of being a little drunk and feeling too much and not knowing what to do with any of it. There's so much chaos in his head, and it's only natural to slide into that tone that comes easiest to him, somewhere between arrogance and flirtation.]
nextlineis: (★ the way words do)

[personal profile] nextlineis 2015-07-25 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Joseph isn't paying too much attention to Caesar's gaze. Or, at the very least, he's trying not to give it too much thought because it's a little... Well, it's a little weird. But Caesar's definitely a little drunk. When Joseph's a little drunk, he finds he's oddly fixated on things at time. It's not so much like the world's slowed down, but he has and he needs those few moments to process what he's looking at before he can catch up. But that doesn't exactly spare him from feeling a little self-conscious and his own gaze drops down to his plate. Ah, whatever. Caesar is probably just drunkenly trying to read Joseph the way Joseph reads most people so maybe he can show off.]

I'm not telling you, [he says with a shake of his head,] but I promise it's nothing like your first entree. You'll actually eat it.

[And maybe he also picked it out as a way of apologizing for picking something so nasty in advance, regardless of whether or not Caesar was able to stomach it or not.]

[personal profile] mylegacy 2015-07-25 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? So the dessert isn't made of thousands of tiny, squirming bugs? Not even spiders?

[He looks mock-surprised, chewing a fry contemplatively.]

I'm shocked. I thought you were going with a theme.

[The theme being disgusting bug dishes, since those are this planet's specialty, apparently.]
nextlineis: (★ and the fakers gonna fake)

[personal profile] nextlineis 2015-07-25 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
[He frowns and then he's pouting a little. Not in a completely haughty way, but certainly a little offended and wounded.]

Hey c'mon, I'm not that big of an asshole. Dessert's the best part of any meal anyway. Why would I risk screwing that up?
mylegacy: <user name="thebeautyandtheicon" site="tumblr.com"> (○ i've had enough)

[personal profile] mylegacy 2015-07-25 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, Joseph. In this state, Caesar's more or less completely helpless in the face of that pout. He sighs and puts his fork down, raising both hands in a defeated gesture.]

Of course you wouldn't. The cap on a good day is important.

[Which he actually means. Apparently at some point he decided that today counts as good as well as bizarre and confusing.]

So why won't you tell me what it is?
nextlineis: (☆ shake shake shake)

[personal profile] nextlineis 2015-07-25 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Joseph's smile comes back as quickly as it had disappeared. It often does, proving yet again that Joseph finds joy in the simplest of things. Although a case certainly could be made that today has been a complicated one. Joseph just tends to pare things down until they're simpler and easier. Right now, he just knows that Caesar has had a good day with him and he means it.]

You do know what a surprise is, don't you? I tell you now, I miss out on the stupid look on your face.
mylegacy: <user name="cutiegengar" site="tumblr.com"> (○ counting every win & fail)

[personal profile] mylegacy 2015-07-25 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
I never have a stupid look on my face.

[This with a smile, small and teasing. This is a good game, and Caesar likes playing it, even if sometimes he ruins it by accident because play isn't his area of expertise. No matter how clumsily he missteps, they always seem able to come back to equilibrium.]
