And the Skies Turned Gold (Reboot) // OxO // Closed

"We can leave whenever is best for you, with the interview and all," Tohru replied, "I wouldn't need but another minute or two to get ready and get out the door."
He looked back down to his drawing, brow furrowed, and erased a few lines.

"Yeah, works for me," Tohru replied, finishing what he was doing and closing the sketchbook.
He stood up and walked over to the bathroom to brush his teeth before they left.

Tohru put on his shoes and turned to Davin as he put on his cloak.
"You ready?" he asked, "I am whenever you are."

Tohru followed out, buzzing with excitement, or at least something close. It was kind of like a date, wasn't it? He hadn't actually been on one in several months. Hadn't really hung out with anyone at all, even as friends. His work kept him from forming much of an attachment to anyone at all.
Tohru locked the door behind them, and he stayed next to Davin as they walked.

"There are some places close by I was thinking of, but you can choose which one," Tohru replied, "What're you in the mood for?"

"That's not a problem," Tohru agreed, "Do you mean like raw meats, though? Or like plants too? Yknow, just so I know for future meals."

"Ah, makes sense. I don't exactly eat raw meats myself. Sometimes fish, but rarely even that. Doesn't sit right with me."
He shrugged.
"There's a little corner diner down there, if you wanted to try that."

"Alright, then," Tohru said, kind of leading the way as he walked by Davin.
"I hope your interview goes well later. I'm happy for you, yknow? And that place you were talking about is pretty close to my work, too."

"Yeah, I'd like that," Tohru agreed, "I can have weird shifts, but when I don't, I'd be glad to."
He gave a little smile to the other. It was nice actually having someone to spend time with.

"I've been walking part of the way home with one of my coworkers, actually. It's definitely a lot more comfortable than going alone. And it'll be you, so even better," Tohru added.

After a bit of a walk, Tohru and Davin arrived at the place. It was a small corner diner- a seat-yourself kind of place, but with little screens on the tables where you could order your meal. It didn't appear large from the outside, but the building went further back than expected.
"Back corner, maybe?" Tohru suggested.
Usually he would've opted for window seats, but those were taken. In fact, the place was surprisingly bustling.

Tohru ordered himself an iced coffee and a sandwich on the screen, then waited for Davin to do the same, placing his hands on his knees and tapping nervously.
For as much as it wasn't a date- just two guys getting lunch- it sure felt like one.
Their day at the museum, he hadn't quite caught feelings yet, at least not as strongly as he had now.

A server brought out both of their drinks and set them down.
Davin swirled the ice in his cup a bit and tilted his head.
"So, um… did you ever do anything like this before? I mean, like, with other people?"

"Like… um, just going out for lunch with another person," Tohru replied, a little sheepishly, "Because I will admit, I have always kept a bit more to myself. Didn't do things like this often, if ever."

"Ah, I gotcha," Tohru added, "I had lunch with a couple of clients. Strictly professional. And dates, at one time."
Tohru kind of hid behind his straw, taking a sip of his drink. This was definitely as friends. Davin had just said it himself.
