— ah, right. the specifics hadn’t been detailed prior to them having met today. partially out of his desire to keep it a surprise, and partially out of the unspoken fear that yugi may not like his selections. their tastes didn’t particularly align with one another ( at least, not to his knowledge… but, in regards to yugi, he supposed there was very little of that to base anything concrete off of ).
folding his hands atop his thighs, he watched but a few more buildings whiz by, before turning to face his curious date. “ i had considered my own restaurant, in the beginning stages of planning. “ but that, he knew, was a too conceited move, especially for a date. a business meeting, perhaps, was a better suited arrangement to host at one of his own establishments, but he was trying to keep his PROFESSIONAL life separate from his PERSONAL life. “ instead, we’re going somewhere even i’ve never been. “ he’d researched it beforehand, of course. checked reviews, browsed the menu. it seemed like a safe enough choice, with options befitting of his very particular palette, and ones a bit more CASUAL, too, for those who didn’t have the luxury of fine dining for breakfast, lunch, AND dinner on a daily basis.
“ and then, i made reservations at the newest virtual reality arcade that opened up downtown. “ — and, by reservations, he meant ‘ he’d rented out the entire building, ‘ so that the two of them could enjoy it, sans the interruptions.
It took a few moments for Seto to reply, and admittedly, Yugi worried that his questions had gotten on the brunet’s nerves in that time. He knew that the other young man had little patience when it came to repeating himself, or being pestered for information, but the duelist was quite certain that he hadn’t been told much about whatever Seto had planned. Even so, the duelist found himself doubting his memory a little, and until his date replied, his mind jumped through any instances when he could have possibly missed receiving the information.
That didn’t turn out to be the case, however, as Seto at last replied with no hint of irritation in his tone. Yugi’s own anxiousness seemed to settle as a result, and instead, the smaller boy began to listen intently, his curiosity regarding Seto’s plans apparent. Truthfully, he’d never been to the restaurant that the young CEO owned, but perhaps that wasn’t exactly surprising - after all, the King of Games didn’t often go out anywhere expensive, and was usually found at Burger World when he did eat somewhere else.
Honestly though, Yugi was surprised to hear that Seto had picked somewhere that he hadn’t visited previously, and it made him wonder just where it was that they were going to eat. That, however, was quickly forgotten as the second half of their date was revealed, and almost immediately, the young man’s eyes widened to the size of saucers.
“Wait, really? That place’s been packed since the day it opened-” The duelist stopped his excited ramble mid sentence, however, upon realizing that what his statement would have been a rather stupid one to make. Getting in might have been impossible for anyone else, but if Seto Kaiba wanted reservations anywhere, he doubted that anyone in Domino would dare to turn him down.
Clearing his throat, the shorter gamer gave his date a sheepish smile, which was accompanied by a slight flush that spread across his cheek, “T-That all sounds great, Seto, I’m-- I’m really excited to spend a day with you like this.”
Hopefully, they wouldn’t be bothered too much, though Yugi could only imagine that the media outlets in Domino would be all over them if they got wind of the two rivals seemingly spending a day together...
