It’s been getting a little too hot. Maybe not at all for Hadyn, but Tsukasa is not used to being outside with the added layer or reality. More to the point, being in direct sunlight and heat only adds to his grogginess. He decided on loose fitting shorts and a t-shirt, but just out of habit, he grabs his hat at the last second as he heads out the door.
Tsukasa conveniently spaces out right as Hadyn makes some lame joke and he only offers a little grunt in response. Part of him wishes he had refused to go out at all, but he rubs at his eyes and braves the heated pavement.
“…I don’t mind. It’s up to you. Maybe something to drink would be nice.” Again, Hadyn is trying. For the first time in–what? weeks? months? Hadyn is still around, eager to please as ever. Tsukasa can’t ignore the fact that he is still angry with Hadyn, but it would make him such a jerk to continue to dismiss Hadyn’s attempts to reconcile.
Besides, when given the choice between being angry and actually being a jerk, simply being pissed does not use as much energy. Lately, Tsukasa is too tired to react unless it’s something that comes naturally, and he doesn’t need to think too hard about what comes naturally to him now.
He shuffles along next to Hadyn, his pace becoming slow–and automatically, he reaches for Hadyn’s hand, something to help himself keep up with Hadyn’s longer strides.
Ahh... Hadyn’s cheeks turn a faint pink, looking down at their hands now conjoined. It’s been so long since there’s been any sort of intimacy for them, so he doesn’t hesitate to intertwine their fingers together. A silly little smile plays across his lips, taking it a bit slower to stay in-step with Tsukasa.
“ Heh... will that be a hard drink, or are ya’ gonna’ go with somethin’ fruity like yoooooou? ” Hadyn snickers, swinging their hands slightly as they follow down the road into town. He could do with either himself, but he’d prefer not to get wasted on their first date in such a dry period. Tsukasa doesn’t need to know how badly Hadyn wants him right now--
Hadyn leads Tsukasa around a few more corners, missing most of the nighttime crowd before they come into a little burger and shake shop. There’s nothing healthy about this whatsoever, and that’s just what they need. Hadyn pulls Tsukasa in with him, sitting on a bar stool at the front counter. He twirls around a few times before getting them some water to start off with. Menu’s are handed to them both and Hadyn skims the menu... reading is still hard.
“ Get whatever ya’ want, cutie. Lookit all the milkshakes an’ shit they have... They even have a fuckin’ bacon and maple syrup milkshake. ”
