THE POCKY GAME MEME

It's that time again!! For supernatural reasons that mere mortals could not comprehend, you and someone else are compelled to play this strange game of chicken, where there can only be one victor. You can be trapped, or just doing it as a friendly yet weird gesture! So don't be shy, this might even be the day you get your first kiss, you loser!

RULES: Post with your character and their name/canon on the subject, mention if the thread is open for all or closed to someone in particular, and if you have any preferences as needed-- but most importantly: have fun!

[For the record, Sora jumps too when the big moment happens. There's a flash on the screen and his body jolts with with the jump scare. He notices that Yuto grabs onto his hand and he returns the squeeze just as much.

Then he laughs a little sheepishly before reaching out to grab the TV remote and shutting the tv and machine off.]

I think that's all the bravery I've got to spend today. How about you?

[From scary movies to the love confession he's about all braved-out. So instead he leans forward to get close to Yuto again. He presses his cheek gently against Yuto's and then presses a tiny affectionate kiss to his ear.]

[Yuto doesn't notice that Sora returns the squeeze and he blinks when the tv is turned off. Suddenly it feels like everything is way too quiet, so he welcomes the other's words and closeness with relief.]

I guess I'm not brave at all... [He admits quietly. He just hopes Sora won't think badly of him now.

He's still holding Sora's hand in his own as if afraid to let go.]

[If Yuto thinks something like this would make Sora think badly of him, he doesn't know Sora as well as he thinks he does! Sora smiles warmly and nudges Yuto.]

Bravery isn't measured by how many scary movies you can watch, Yuto.

[Then he gets up. No more negative thoughts allowed.]

Wanna grab some dinner?

[Even though the other's words are reassuring and he loves that smile, too, Yuto can't help but be a little disappointed when Sora gets up. He doesn't want him to be so far away, but he smiles nevertheless.]

If you want then why not?

[So far they ate only pocky and other snacks. May be a good idea to actually eat something normal.]

[Sora gives Yuto a warm smile in return.]

It's settled then. And I'm paying!

[Don't try to argue with him, Yuto!]

What are you in the mood for?

You can't pay for me.

[He is going to argue into forever.]

...And we can eat anything you want.

[So your choice.]

[Sora frowns. He's frowning. It's a big, very big, really big, pout.]

I'm paying for you, okay! Please?

[Then if Yuto is going to give him the choice of what they eat too? Sora has to be the one to pay!! HE HAS TO.]

Have you ever had Korean BBQ?

[Don't frown at him like that.]

Why do you want to pay for me so much?

[He doesn't think it's right.]

And, no. I haven't.

[Too late, he's doing it.]

Because it's our first date, dummy... It's supposed to be my treat since I offered.

[Well Sora doesn't think it's right if he doesn't pay SO THERE.]

I think you'll like it, there's a grill right on the table and you get all the meat and veggies fresh and you cook it right there. Sort of like indoor camping and fondue but way better.

..."Date"?

[Only now when Sora said that word, it occurred to Yuto that a dinner together equals date. He stares at Sora for a few seconds, before a bright blush appears on his cheeks and he starts waving his hand in front of himself as if in panic.]

No, no... I-in that case, I should be paying for both of us! Because... er...

[Because reasons.]

Anyway, I'll pay!

[He doesn't want to let Sora do this.]

[Sora blinks at Yuto's reaction and for a second just stares at him before he starts laughing warmly. Not a teasing laugh, just an affectionate laugh.]

It's okay, Yuto! Really! How about I pay this time and then next time you can pay. Does that sound good?

[Because there is going to be more than one date, right? Sora hopes???]

[Aw, he feels a little stupid when Sora laughs, but he understands that Sora is not laughing at him.

Yuto considers it for a moment, before he finally gives in.]

...Alright.

[You better keep this promise!]

[He thinks you're really cute, Yuto.

He steps closer for a second to press a tiny kiss to Yuto's cheek.]

It's a promise, then.

[And then he'll pull back to pull out his phone and starts calling the resturant to book them a table. With that done he excitedly waves Yuto to the door so they can go.]

[He's not cute and he wishes he would react fast enough to return the affection, but of course, he's still too embarrassed for that.

He doesn't waste time though and quickly makes his way to the door.]

So... let's go?

[They're really going on a date? He's suddenly very nervous now.]

[They're really going on a date! Where Yuto is nervous Sora is just full of excited energy.

Fast forward to arrival at the restaurant, the place is full of people and life. They're directed to their table shortly after. It's a table with a grill in the middle as Sora had explained before.]

I hope you're hungry, I'm gonna order a whole bunch of stuff.

[Because small as Sora is... He's an endless pit when it comes to food.]

[And Yuto is just getting more nervous even though he tries to hide it. They're on a date and he's never been on a date before. There are also people around. He has all the reasons to feel nervous!

He looks at the table, at the girl then at Sora and blinks a few times before responding.]

...Maybe a little hungry?

[Will he be able to eat anything though?]

Only just a little?

[Sora tilts his head. He's not sure what to do about that but...]

It's okay, I can eat lots.

[With a laugh he orders for them a variety of meats and things to go with it.]

[Then Sora will eat for both of them.

After the order is done, Yuto keeps looking at Sora as if he wants to say something but has no idea what exactly to say. Eventually he stretches his cheek and looks away, waiting.

It seems he really isn't good at "dates".]

[Sora puts an elbow on the table and props up his chin on an open palm.]

You know... Things don't have to change that much... This is suppose to be fun, right? Trying something new with me?

[If it makes Yuto too nervous... Would Yuto rather things stay as they were before?

Sora would like them to have fun and be happy. That's all.

He sneaks a foot over to gently nudge Yuto's foot with his own.]

[Yuto flinches when he feels Sora nudge him, then he blinks and looks at the other.]

Sorry, I... [He lets a small, embarrassed sigh.] I've never been on a... [His voice goes quieter.] ...date.

[Suddenly looking at his own hands seems so much more interesting than looking at Sora. Yuto's cheeks are a little flushed too.

But he can't change the fact he just doesn't know how to relax in this kind of situation. Of course, this is only a dinner, they'll eat something and that's it. But aren't dates supposed to be something more than that? But what exactly? What should he do to make it a proper date?

It'd be nice to catch Sora's hand in his own but there's too many people here and Yuto isn't a big fan of getting affectionate in front of people.]

Hey, me either!

[Sora says this cheerily and with a smile. He's kind of taking the whole thing in stride, he's only seen dates in movies and books and stuff. They already sort of watched a movie so now they're going for dinner. That's the right order to things, right?]

I'm kind of just making it up as we go, to be honest. It doesn't have to be super serious.

[Besides he already loves spending time with Yuto. Now he can do that while flirting a lot more. He gently nudges Yuto's foot again just to do that.]

Right...

[It doesn't have to be super serious and yet Yuto still isn't quite sure what to do. He tries to relax, taking a small breath... but then Sora nudged him with his foot and that makes him flinch once again, then blush and stare at the other.

For the next minute Yuto is thinking very hard of how to say this so that it wouldn't sound like he's trying to push Sora away. Eventually he looks down.]

...Can you... stop nudging me? [Then he quickly adds:] It's just awkward. In public. [His tone is a little desperate. Please don't get him wrong.

This date is not going to go well, is it?]
