[WELL.

Clay's jaw sure did drop there. He looks at Mikleo, then Sorey, then Allen, not really sure how to react here. Mikleo's just so... so nonchalant about it! Compared to he and Allen when they decided to start getting serious about their dating... this is like the opposite end of the spectrum.

He turns back to the two of them then, a confused, yet happy grin on his face.]

Con... Congrats? Congrats!

[And then he leans over to Allen:]

Did that just happen?

[monolike]

Yeah, I guess we- [is that
did mikleo just kiss him on the cheek

Sorey goes bright red and slowwwwly melts over the table, covering his head with his free arm in his embarrassment. Seems like even the resident sap can't keep it together when he gets a kiss from Mikleo.] Mikleoooo, you're embarrassing me....

1/2

[save_the_souls]

[Whoa that actually....worked??? He actually got an answer??? He's so staring in utter surprise. He did not expect this to work]

Yeah...congratulations!

[save_the_souls]

[Now excuse him as he discreetly pulls out his communicator under the table to message someone, because the world needs to know.]

[nerdeology]

[Oh nice they have like three flavours of ice cream here and

oh

Sorey's embarrassed.

Sorey's embarrassed??

....

Sorey is embarrassed.]

What, did you not want me to?

[Go on, Sorey. Tell him not to do that again. Go on, if you dare.]

[geonomy]

[Yeah he sees what Allen's doing, and he takes in a breath to tell him that no, that's rude, don't do that at the table

But. But Sorey and Mikleo are discovering this and... and...

Yeah okay he'll start furiously texting too.]

[monolike]

[clay it is amazing how fast you can text with just one hand, dude]

Oh that's not it and you know it! When have you ever been sweet to me in front of other people? You're practically allergic.

[nerdeology]

[RUDE

thankfully these two can exist in their own little world for hours.]

I am not. It's not my fault you left yourself wide open like that.

[monolike]

I didn't realize I had to be on guard when you drag me out to take a break. Next time I'll be more vigilant.

[save_the_souls]

[He's looked up from his texting to watch these two in awe]

....I never thought Sorey would be the one flustered by PDAs....

[geonomy]

[He looks up too, setting his comm down now, apparently pausing for a moment.]

Yeah, you'd think it'd be the other way around...

[monolike]

It's not that! [POINTS AT MIKLEO'S FACE] Do you see that? That's his devious face. He's scheming.

[nerdeology]

That's a very hurtful thing to say to your date.

[he should kiss him again and see what he does

it's really tempting

he's gonna do it]

[monolike]

It's a true- [Sorey's scandalized little Mikleo! gets muffled when Mikleo lays one right on his lips and he lets go of Clay's hand to yank his cloak over his head. STOP!! YOU'RE TOO PRETTY!!!!]

[save_the_souls]

[.............]


[Allen's just going to discreetly glance around to make sure no one's watching because he's sure to everyone else in the restaurant, Sorey's tripping out over an empty seat. Then he glances over at Clay with this face. Are you seeing this too babe?]

[geonomy]

[Well Clay did manage to see the kiss, but then Sorey lets go of his hand so everything after that's kinda... yeah. He's pretty much seeing exactly what everyone else in the restaurant is seeing now.

Clay glances at Allen in return, and he gives a sort of sheepish smile with a one-armed shrug. Yeah. Yeah, he's seeing it, babe.]

Well, it, uh... looks like he really was up to something!

[nerdeology]

[Okay, this is hilarious. And now that Mikleo's discovered he can essentially weaponize affection, he tries to have a bit of mercy, reaching out and tugging at the Shepherd's cloak.]

Stop being so dramatic, you're making everyone stare at you. I won't do it anymore.

[No more kisses, that's what you wanted, right??]

[monolike]

[Every single other person sitting in this booth is a huge jerk!! And Sorey's hair is messed up and his face is so red, because he knows he must be the only one between them who remembers that day when he was three and had declared he'd marry Mikleo when they grew up before grabbing his face and kissing him right in front of half the village.

It is. So embarrassing. And Zenrus made sure to lecture them later about not adopting strange human customs but that's an issue for another time.]

You're being awfully cavalier, [Sorey mumbles, before leaning forward to finally kiss Mikleo back, right on the cheek, audience be damned.]

[geonomy]

[Aaaand that was weird, seeing Sorey lean forward and kiss, uh, air. Clay squints a little, as if he can see it happen just by doing that, before he leans over to whisper to Allen:]

Should we... go?

[save_the_souls]

[Allen turns to Clay, a bit taken back by the suggestion]

What? But we haven't eaten yet!

[SOREY COULD GET TO SECOND BASE WITH THE AIR FOR ALL HE CARES, HE WANTS FOOD]

[nerdeology]

[Mikleo blinks and glances sidelong at Sorey, eyes widening, cheeks going faintly pink. Speaking of cavalier... maybe he's not one hundred percent immune to being embarrassed by this, still. He's frozen in place for a few seconds, unable to break eye contact.

....Aaaand then he lifts a hand to press it against Sorey's face, gently pushing him backwards.]

The food's here, and you let go of Clay. We're guests at their table, remember? Don't be rude.

[did you think we were having a Moment]

[monolike]

[Oof. Sorey is tempted to lick Mikleo's hand just to gross him out, but he's right about them being rude to Clay.]

I'm sorry, Clay, [Sorey apologizes sheepishly, giving Mikleo a little kick under the table but offering his hand again.]

[nerdeology]

[KICKS BACK, LIKE AN ADULT]

[geonomy]

[He gives Allen an apologetic half smile - of course, he should've known Allen would never leave food behind, especially now that it's shown up. Here he'd thought about giving Sorey and Mikleo some privacy, but he is here, resigned to his fate of watching Sorey make out with air.

Speaking of that, Sorey reaches out again, and Clay pauses before he takes his hand once more. Once Mikleo comes into view again, Clay looks at him, then gives that same happy, excited smile from before. This is never, never going to get old.]

Don't worry about it! Though I probably can't eat some of this stuff with just one hand, so maybe we can let go until we finish up?

[save_the_souls]

[Allen meanwhile is COMPLETELY distracted by the food! He smiles happily as the waitress (who believe me, is seriously wonder what the hell is wrong with this group) sets down a plate food in front of him.]

Ah, it looks so good! Thank you!

[He grabs some silverware and starts digging in. Though really at the rate he's eating, it's more like he's inhaling the food than eating it. Even if it's an entire combo meal, it's probably going to be gone very fast. ]
