It's safe! Of course, you probably shouldn't eat too much of it when it's more rare... but here.
[ giving his sleeves another hike upwards, he leans in to snag a strip of meat and lay it down on the grill once it's nice and ready. it starts to sizzle immediately, and though he's tipsy, ryuu is essentially a pro at doing things tipsy, so his technique is actually pretty precise. ]
Hmm, about three minutes on either side is okay for me. You can see it browning at the edges.
[ he ushers eichi in to watch this very exciting cooking process. ]
Leaving it raw here [ a tap against the pink middle ] keeps the taste soft.
[Eichi tucks himself in against Ryuu as he leans forward, enjoying the smell of the charcoal, the sizzle of the meat, the warmth of this company. He grabs his own chopsticks, keeping them clutched in one hand as he watches with sparkling eyes.]
So it's a little of both...! That sounds delicious. [His cheek is absolutely against Ryuu's arm, hi.]
Soft... but with enough crisped flavor on the outsides... Ahh, my mouth is watering just watching it. ♪ Let me put on a few, just like that...
[He delicately tries from here... It's extra hard to navigate right now but. Good enough.]
[ luckily, it's hard to screw up yakiniku even with the drunkest of fingers. as long as the meat makes it in the vicinity of the grill, they're golden. and ryuu is making sure of that, though he's also reveling in the warmth, the atmosphere alive with contentment. ]
See? You've got it. I think this one's just about done...
[ notably, he's left it a little rarer than he said he liked, but there's not much room to point it out between him plucking it from the grill and dunking it in - let's see... ponzu? ponzu should work.
holding the pieces of meat aloft, he cups his other hand beneath it and does the thing, turning aside and offering it out. ]
[ He’s been fed before a large number of times, some with a widely different feel from others, but Eichi manages to take this bite of meat like he’s putting on a show. It’s so smooth though, and not drawn out too long, so is he just naturally that thotty... He’ll never say. ]
Mm! [ But he does perk up and cover his lips with his fingertips to finish chewing before he smiles brightly. ] Ahhh, how delicious... I can taste the difference immediately! It’s so much less dry like this, isn’t it? Fufu, should I feed you a piece, Ryuu-kun? Are we taking turns like this?
But if I’m left without some for too long, I’ll eat you up instead, you know? Fufu. Just kidding~
[ a good expression! thottiness falls in second to a love of food as ryuu gently pulls the chopsticks away, watching carefully for all the little expressions eichi might make. ]
Sure, we can take turns! But I'm not sure how good I'd taste in comparison, so we can put a lot on at once... like this.
[ innuendo, double-entendres... all of them go pinging off of his blessedly thick skull, leaving ryuu to go about loading up the grill with a few more cuts of meat, so they can feed one another at their leisure, and no one gets hungry enough to take a bite out of the other. smart, right?
Well, it's fun all the same. They take turns feeding one another, and Eichi has a blast with it, laughing and drinking in between it all. Slowly, taking his time— or at least that's how he started it, but he's sure he's lost track of time somewhere in all of that. He feels beyond just light and happy, a heaviness in his head that's undeniable but is only encouraging him to lean a little closer as he holds out his chopsticks with the last piece of meat for Ryuu.
...But then, just before he takes the bite, he pulls his chopsticks back and eats the piece himself.
Rude, and apparently right now, very hilarious to him, because even as he pulls up his second hand to cover his mouth while eating it, he can't stop laughing.]
[ truthfully, ryuu would have probably given him the last piece anyway, but to have it dangled so close and then snatched away again... rude!! it's the principle of the thing that has him pitching forward, expression scrunching with something between scandalized and mirthful. ]
- ah, that wasn't very fair!!
[ guess he'll just have to knock the rest of his ???th glass of beer back, which seems to raise his spirits again. ]
[Ah, he loved it, that's what he was looking for! He laughs again, setting his chopsticks down a little sloppier than usual, and moving to swat his hand at Ryuu's chest in a playful sort of gesture.]
What are you trying to say, I could use it? I need more meat, then? Come here, I'll eat you up after all. ♪
[Honestly, he can't eat another bite of food if he tries, but he sure does want to lean into Ryuu like this. It's fine. He's shameless, he can own up to it, he has no fear.]
Or, if I lean back suddenly, I wonder if you'll make that cute expression again...
[ ryuu is approaching too drunk to feel the finer emotions such as shame, luckily placing his empty cup shining with nothing but froth on the table before eichi comes barging into his space. he grins, body warmed by the alcohol and food and closeness. without a second thought - ]
Doesn't that mean I have to let you do that in the first place?
[ punctuated by ryuu catching eichi in the crook of his closest arm. you're stuck with him now. ]
[He laughs, feeling warm at the catch, at the closeness, at the fun of it. Celebrating, even when things had threatened to be so depressing and lonely. It's the furthest thing from his mind, in this moment. Right now, he's too busy admiring Ryuu's smile, the flush of his face, and his eyes.
He can't help it.]
You're simply moving how I want. [They sure are in a restaurant, but it's busy now, and their booth is secluded enough... Honestly, even if it weren't, he'd probably make this move. He leans in enough to brush their lips together, shamelessly curling his tongue against them as if to have a taste. He's not the most coordinated or balanced right now, though, so his whole body weight leans into it and he is definitely slipping marginally from his seat.]
[ ah, he should have seen this coming. maybe that he didn't makes it all the sweeter, and ryuu doesn't think to shy back from the kiss even in this environment. he's not sober enough to anyway, and so he takes the path of least resistance, giving his lips a slight part to add some depth to the kiss. he's smiling, and it just seems natural by now - his lips taste like fizzy beer and savory food, and it's probably too pleasant of a sensation to let their tongues meet for just a moment.
lucky for him, he's a coordinated enough drunk. something has to take up the cavernous space where his decency ought to be - so he can keep steady even while eichi is leaning into him so heavily. cheeky, he grins. ]
[There's more laughter at that, as Eichi clearly can't keep up such a blatant lie.]
Okay, you've caught me after all. My eye, my attention, my lips, and my fall... and perhaps my heart?
[Another laugh, and he keeps nuzzling closer, wanting the attention, and those hands on him. He will absolutely fall to the ground without support in this moment so clearly he's just using that as reason to be grabbed.]
I wonder what else you'll catch. Ah, Ryuu-kun, let's go take a look at some stores together. There were some interesting items, right?
[ ryuu might be used to a more crowded, boisterous atmosphere while drinking, but with eichi all but swooning into his arms, he thinks this is plenty enough for him. it's hard to focus on any one thing - the tingle on his lips, the fuzzy, radiating liquor-warmth, the ripples of chroma here and there. in a way, it's lucky eichi brings him focus in the moment with his suggestion.
expression lighting up, ryuu gives an eager nod. ]
You mean like sightseeing a little? I want to! It did seem like there were fun places to look into - ah!
[ but before that! a goofy grin. ]
No more kisses until I pay. It's supposed to be my treat, you know?
[ one he's happy to stretch as long as possible, well after they've left. ]
