[Sycamore was already wandering around near the Groves, so he easily beats Doumeki to the Izakaya and finds a table for them. When his student friend arrives, he beckons him over with a wave. The scene might feel rather familiar to what they both experienced in the dream world, except this time it's Froakie sitting at the table.
[ Doumeki makes his way there -- he has a car, after all, so it doesn't take him too long. He joins Sycamore at the table, offering Froakie-san a bow before simply nodding his head at Sycamore. Is Froakie-san higher on the hierarchy now? ]
Mm. It is similar to our meeting in the future.
[ Doumeki makes the quickest glance at his left hand as he sits down, like a blink-and-you'll-miss-it thing. ]
[Well, Froakie-san certainly seems pleased to see his human bff! ＼(´▽｀) / Monsieur Doumeki....!!]
Perhaps so. Although I am craving takoyaki.
[That bow definitely amuses Sycamore, but he's far from offended - if anything, he's excited. Finally, Doumeki feels close enough to him that he doesn't need to bow? This progress....incredible.
(Not that he'd be too concerned if Froakie climbed higher on the hierachy.)]
Would you like a beer?
[There's a twinkle in his eye...what happened last time you arrived after him? Oh yes, he'd already ordered....hmm....]
[Well! That makes Sycamore smile over the rim of his glass.]
Was he now? That must have been a wonderful thing to hear.
[Especially since they both know Yashiro isn't the best at showing certain emotions, so...what fantastic progress, for the two of them. It fills Sycamore with a warmth he knows has nothing to do with the alcohol.]
Handmade gifts are always a lovely gesture. You may have discovered you have a hidden talent for chocolate-making! Un chocolatier, as we say in Kalos!
[...he might wait for Doumeki to mention how the aphrodisiac went down, although he's admittedly. very curious.]
It was. Yashiro-san has been very endearing lately. More than usual.
[ Doumeki nods, a little warmth in his voice from just how pleased he is. He'd kissed Yashiro then, after Yashiro had assured him that he was not afraid of him. And that he trusted him.
Unfortunately the eating of those chocolates comes pretty late in the story, Sycamore. ]
I told him my plans for the chocolate and then we went to the beach, to a teppanyaki restaurant.
[ He blushes a bit here, Sycamore should definitely ask for more deets. ]
[That blush is definitely not going unnoticed, don't worry; it's becoming harder and harder for Sycamore to stop smiling. Even Froakie is catching on!]
Ah, teppanyaki! I haven't had that in ages. What an excellent choice.
[...Froakie, why is he blushing about a teppanyaki restaurant...we must investigate.]
[You know what, we're just going to stick with this one icon because Sycamore's expression has not changed whatsoever. He might even be waggling his eyebrows a little bit.]
[It's a lot harder to control his reaction to Doumeki's regular brand of....straightforwardness when they're in person and not texting, but to Sycamore's credit, he manages to hold in the laugh threatening to spill out. There's also the fact that he's actually....looking like he might want to talk about the sexual adventures of him and his lovely boss, so...
...best to get comfortable. They're not going anywhere. Froakie, cover your ears...]
It sounds like you didn't need those chocolates to get started, hmm?
[ It's a miracle, tbh. Doumeki is growing up, or maybe he's a little proud that he got to have a quickie with Yashiro, who can say. The man has never really had much pride before, so this is a new experience for him. ]
No, we did not.
[ He takes another long sip of his beer. Can he really do this? Can he say it out loud? ]
[That was the most magnificent face journey Sycamore has seen in a while, and it takes all of his considerable self-control this time to prevent any laughter from escaping. Doumeki might notice a bit of a twitch in the corner of his mouth, but other than that...]
Ah, I see....with his hand, under the table.
[Who said romance was dead? Sycamore takes another sip of his beer, continuing to smile at Doumeki over the glass. What progress! He never would have mentioned anything related to sex, previously. But now....
...he shouldn't continue to encourage this, but....well! If Doumeki wants to open up, he's not going to stop him....]
He must have been very excited to be on a date with you, mon ami. That's good news, no? You were so worried!
[ It's ok, Yashiro is pretty blatant when he laughs at him, he could take it. ]
He was. He... [ Sucked him off in the bathroom? Sycamore's gonna have to pry a little harder for that one. ] He seemed very happy. I was, too.
[ At least talking about Yashiro's happiness is a quick way to bring Doumeki back to himself, and away from the bright-red stoplight that his face has become. ]
It's so wonderful knowing that the boss loves me.
[ Yes, he can somehow say that without blushing nearly as much as the other thing. ]

studentfriend arrives, he beckons him over with a wave. The scene might feel rather familiar to what they both experienced in the dream world, except this time it's Froakie sitting at the table.It's certainly not lost on Sycamore, anyway.]
I'm getting quite the sense of déjà vu, you know.
no subject
Mm. It is similar to our meeting in the future.
[ Doumeki makes the quickest glance at his left hand as he sits down, like a blink-and-you'll-miss-it thing. ]
Is that why you wanted to meet at an izakaya?
no subject
Perhaps so. Although I am craving takoyaki.
[That bow definitely amuses Sycamore, but he's far from offended - if anything, he's excited. Finally, Doumeki feels close enough to him that he doesn't need to bow? This progress....incredible.

Would you like a beer?
[There's a twinkle in his eye...what happened last time you arrived after him? Oh yes, he'd already ordered....hmm....]
no subject
It's pretty wild. ]
Sure.
[ Hm, yes, Sycamore is going to try to pay, isn't he. Well, Doumeki has no problem with that, if it makes Sycamore happy. ]
Thank you for the invitation. You know I am able to pay.
[ Like, you know he and Yashiro are making hella money, so, this is on you, Sycamore. ]
no subject
...as for the food and beer, well...there may or may not be a waitress approaching to deliver two beers and two plates of takoyaki.]
I know you're able to pay; the thing is I want to.
[Have a smile, as Sycamore reaches out to neatly clink his glass against Doumeki's. There really is no greater joy than treating his friends to food.]
Now tell me about this date. Did he like the chocolate?
no subject
He knows Sycamore has only Yashiro's best interests at heart, so it's always nice talking to him. ]
He did. He says very touched by the fact that I made them for him.
[ There's no hiding the pride in his voice, either. ]
no subject
Was he now? That must have been a wonderful thing to hear.
[Especially since they both know Yashiro isn't the best at showing certain emotions, so...what fantastic progress, for the two of them. It fills Sycamore with a warmth he knows has nothing to do with the alcohol.]

[...Froakie, why is he blushing about a teppanyaki restaurant...we must investigate.]
You had a nice time at the restaurant, then...?
no subject
[ Doumeki is bright red now. Maybe he'll have that drink... ]
We were somewhat distracted. While getting to know each other better.
[ He's not just gonna come out and admit that Yashiro gave him a blowjob, but it should be fairly obvious that Something happened. ]
no subject
[You know what, we're just going to stick with this one icon because Sycamore's expression has not changed whatsoever. He might even be waggling his eyebrows a little bit.]
Must have been some good teppanyaki.
no subject
I did not mean the food.
[ He. He really said that. He really did. He really needs you to know, Sycamore. ]
no subject
...best to get comfortable. They're not going anywhere. Froakie, cover your ears...]
It sounds like you didn't need those chocolates to get started, hmm?
1/?
No, we did not.
[ He takes another long sip of his beer. Can he really do this? Can he say it out loud? ]
no subject
[ Nope. ]
no subject
[ Abort! ]
no subject
[ He did it! That has to be the quickest Doumeki's micro-expressions have ever changed. He clears his throat, still looking away. ]
OK I'M DONE
[ He looks like his head might explode to be honest. ]
¬‿¬
Ah, I see....with his hand, under the table.
[Who said romance was dead? Sycamore takes another sip of his beer, continuing to smile at Doumeki over the glass. What progress! He never would have mentioned anything related to sex, previously. But now....
