[Phoenix has changed into the classier sexy outfit. He shaved and shit for this and everything but he's still kind of embarrassed and fussing with revealing thigh slits by the time Crow arrives.

He gives up on that though, lifting a hand in greeting. The steak and veggies and potatoes are already on plates. Still piping hot, so it's good timing.]

Hey, you look nice.

[Crow looks great, actually, he's just so embarrassed in his own outfit the words don't quite come out. He's still really happy to see Crow though, and it shows on his expression. Under the abject embarrassment.]

[filetofish]

And you look amazing.

[It's really hot, but it's also hilarious, and Crow can't help but laugh as he sets his bottles down.]

Dinner smells great! You really know how to treat a guy.

[awakenerd]

If making you happy is as simple as cooking I'll do it every day if you want.

[He feels really ridiculous, not hot, especially when Crow laughs. But this was the bet so he ignores how silly he feels and pushes Crow's plate over. He's not getting up because one wrong move in this and he'll give anyone nearby an eyeful. As long as Crow's having fun he'll count the date a success. He just wants him to feel as special as Phoenix finds him.]

Eat up before it gets cold.

[filetofish]

It's a lot simpler than that.

[He's sitting down and tucking in, though. He's a pretty darned happy H right now. He'll wait on the potion and alcohol til they've eaten, but he's definitely fantasizing.]

What makes you happy, though?

[awakenerd]

[Phoenix starts eating too, smiling a little.]

Maybe I shouldn't tell you if you haven't figured it out.

[But he's teasing, he really will tell Crow.]

[filetofish]

Maybe I just want you to say it out loud.

[awakenerd]

Oh well in that case... [like he's about to say something dumb but then he just starts being sincere.]

I'm honestly happy just being with you, you know? Spending time with you, talking to you, having fun or hanging out or kissing you, it makes me really happy. The more you enjoy it, the more I do too.

[filetofish]

Aww, ain't that just adorable.

[He laughs, leaning his face on his left hand while his right wields the fork.]

I'd say the same, man. you don't have to feed me. I just like bothering you.

[awakenerd]

Adorable isn't quite what I was going for, but good enough I guess.

It's not like I dislike feeding you though. Like I said, I like doing normal things with you, but I also want to do things specially for you.

[filetofish]

Adorable and romantic. You're the ideal wife.

[Crow is incapable of not teasing for even three seconds. It's true.]

[awakenerd]

[That's what makes him Crow. Rean loves him anyway. Or maybe because of it, hard to say.]

What, you're thinking of marrying me already?

[filetofish]

Maybe in ten years. I've gotta make the most of my youth before I settle down.

[awakenerd]

Is that so? Planning on living the wild life?

[filetofish]

Yup. I'm gonna be noisy and start fights and all that fun stuff!

[awakenerd]

...What, married people can't do that?

[He's not even serious about marriage but what kind of boring couple wouldn't be able to have fun together?]

[filetofish]

You can, but doesn't marriage imply domestic bliss and all that? We should be rebellious youngsters while we can.

[awakenerd]

I'm not sure I'm the rebellious type.

[The joke is what unit he's on okay.]

[filetofish]

You're definitely not, but that's why I'm here. You can just follow my troublemaking lead.

[awakenerd]

That's definitely a bad idea.

[filetofish]

Yeah, but you should do it anyway.

[awakenerd]

Haven't I already gotten myself in trouble that way?

[Look at what he's wearing??]

[filetofish]

It's harmless! ...Although, speaking of trouble.

[He's finished his food and is now reminded it's time to potion up. Time to go fetch some glasses and start making those cocktails.]

I got something sweet for this, but I'm gonna pour it strong.

[awakenerd]

Right, the mystery potion.

[He's expecting cat ears or angel wings or maybe his hair turning bright pink but whatever. He stacks the plates and gets up cautiously to set them by the sink, he'll wash them later. The caution in his movements is mostly for the split skirt.]

What are you making?

[filetofish]

A coffee cocktail.

[they're white russians but there's no russia in zemuria so idk]

Here!

[he makes a nice strong drink, pours the potion in, and hands it over]

Drink it in one go.

1/2

[awakenerd]

Seriously?

[He takes the drink, but it looks fine so he knocks it back in one gulp, coughing a little as it hits because that was stronger than he was expecting.]
