Probably the crab dish? Those are in season, I'm pretty sure.

[Osamu Dazai. Likes: crab.]

Oh, the crab? Go for it.

[A pause - he suddenly takes his hand and reaches over to lay it on top of Shuji's hand, his tone sheepish.]

I-I didn't expect you to...uh. To be interested in me more than the...you know. So, I'm...thankful. Happy. Thank you.

[Shuji turns his hand around so he can hold Howard's properly. His cheeks are pink, but he can't find it in him to be embarrassed right now.]

I'm - I'm really glad, I was kind of worried you were going to tell me you didn't want this kind of a relationship.

[And Shuji would've been stupid for getting his hopes up.]

I mean, I just never thought someone would like me like that. But I'm glad you do.

[He squeezes Shuji's hand - this is all so overwhelming, but in the best kind of way.]

I admit, I've always really liked you, in that way...I just never got the courage to say it.

Really?

[Okay, now Shuji's bright red.]

M-me too, I wanted to say something earlier, but...

[There were a lot of reasons why he didn't, but it was more his nervousness than Shuji technically being one of Howard's students that stopped him.]

...You were my student, and I didn't want you to be upset with me about it, so I just kept quiet.

[He pulls Shuji's hand towards him, giving the back of it a slight kiss before he lowers it - that confession being done, he's happy to move along with the date.]

Should we, uh, order the food now?

[Sorry, Shuji's dead because of how cute that was, please hold.]

...What? Oh! Yes, food. Is a thing. A thing we should order.

[Food ordering goes here.]

Yes! Yes.

[Even if he orders his food in the most quiet voice in the world, at least Shuji is here to help. All the while, he can't stop thinking that Shuji is his...boyfriend? He has to be, right? That's his boyfriend. They're on a date. Goodness.]

[After the waiter steps away, he just leans on his hand, staring over at the other.]

This almost doesn't feel like it's real. Just....all of this. Too good to be true.

[Shuji is on a date with his boyfriend and it's amazing. He's bubblier than his soft drink.]

What would convince you that it's not a dream?

[Because he would do whatever Howard said, even if it was making out with him in an Olive Garden.]

Uh.

[He blushes, suddenly, a strange scattering of color on his usually pale face.]

Kiss me? Just...yes. I'm sorry. I mean, we're in public, so....

[Before he can second-guess himself, Shuji leans across the table and kisses Howard very briefly and lightly on the lips.

Mwa.]

[Oh.]

[Oh!!!]

[Howard's cheeks flush further - he gasps slightly, placing his hand up on his cheek - he looks the very image of a bashful school boy who just learned what holding hands is about.]

That was...nice. [He's just....so happy.] Ah, Shuji...this really is real...I'm so glad.

You're the cutest person I've seen in my entire life.

[Like, holy shit, that was the most adorable reaction Howard could possibly have had.]

[He shakes his head adamantly.]

Shuji, please...you're the cutest one. You should talk about yourself...

[ACCEPT IT, SHUJI.]

Nope, that distinction definitely belongs to you.

[They're the sappiest couple already and this is just their first date.]

Shuji, how can I accept that when you're sitting in front of me?

[THESE DUMB LOVEBIRDS]

You're going to have to, you know how stubborn I am.

[imagine how gross they'll be when they've been dating for awhile]

I know, but I'm...........stubborn-orer. I know that isn't a word, but still.

[Wow. He scratches at his cheek, still bashful, and that's when the server comes in with their meals - well, it certainly smells good.]

[He leans over slightly, staring down at the other's dish.]

You have to let me know how it tastes, Shuji.

[Shuji cuts off a piece of his food and deposits it onto Howard's plate. Enjoy the crab.]

This seems easier.

Oh-!

[He blinks, before he takes his fork, twirls it enough to get enough spaghetti to put on the other's plate.]

There you go. I hope you like it.

You too, enjoy your meal ♥

[They are already gross and domestic and I can't deal with them.]
