[ And any other messages are gonna be left on read as he hops into his car. He can't believe it. He actually managed to slide his way on in and get at least a kiss. In all truth, there was some baseline attraction that happened at first sight. Nanamin was hot, whether he wanted to admit it or not, but now.
Now it was about more than that. He had a type and he was a fucking goner. Play it cool, though, Hizashi, you got this! You can do this. Sure, it'd been a while since anyone got the ol' smoocherino from him but that was besides the point! It'd be fine! He'd be fine! He wasn't nervous at all.
He beat the other to the same like izakaya they'd been to before and grabbed one of the few little tables that the place had rather than at the bar. As much privacy as possible. That seemed more Nanami's speed, right? ]
[ Nanami was still wrapping things up at Jujutsu High when he'd finished his conversation with Yamada so he takes his time getting to the izakaya, knowing that he'd be beaten to the punch in getting there regardless. He's a little nervous now, admittedly, because he agreed to at least a kiss. He didn't know the other man held such an attraction to him but he's pretty oblivious about these things at times so the forwardness is appreciated, even if it makes him feel incredibly off-footed.
When he steps in the izakaya, he looks around before spotting the familiar spike of blond hair and heads in that direction. When he gets there, he bows his head politely. ]
Yamada-san.
[ And then he'll move forward, lowering himself onto the cushion seats that frame the low table and sitting across from Yamada. He'll tug the menu closer to him then, giving it a browse as he considers what he wants to eat for now. All thoughts of kissing have left his mind for the moment because he is, if anything, a giant foodie and there's no use for nerves when picking out the perfect side dish for his beer. ]
[ He greets with a little two finger salute from his brow and a wink. Hizashi may be nervous but this is still his drinking buddy at the end of the day. He lets the other sit and get the menu before starting to talk. Because he is still nervous enough to not be able to shut the fuck up.
Which he can't do on the best of days. ]
If I remember right this place had some pretty good eats. Whatcha thinkin? You're the expert.
[ At the very least, Nanami has a lot of practice with personalities like Yamada's so he's not even the least bit surprised when the man starts talking. He considers his question though, giving a hum. ]
I want... chicken karaage. A lot of it. With lemon and cold beer.
[ Simple but tasty. Crunchy. And he remembers this place had really good karaage, so. He pushes the menu away from himself and looks at Yamada for a long moment before β ]
[ That last bit gives him pause, looking up from his menu with an arched eyebrow and a curious look on his face. Is this... a date? Well, they are going to kiss afterwards and if that's the case, it's probably better to call this a date than not a date. But still. Huh.
Is he dating Yamada-san?
Well, it wasn't like he was dating anyone before and he likes the other man's company. He thinks he's handsome in a scruffy sort of way. And maybe he'll surprise Nanami and be a really good kisser. So... ]
Yes, I suppose that is.
[ That is, of course, when the waiter comes by their table for their order. Nanami will rattle off his own and wait for Yamada to share his own before giving back the menus and waiting for their food. Guess it's time for small talk. ]
[ Hizashi put in his order as well for kushiyaki so it was just a chicken kinda night.
He could still feel the bubbling nerves throughout the entire moment's pause. What would he say to the idea of the date...? Would he forget all about it and change the topic (which would totally tell him) or--
Well that he wasn't expecting. Hands fall, but elbows remain on the table. He tilts his head in thought. ]
Probablyyyy the second time we went out for drinks? So I guess a little while.
[ Nanami, never one to be entirely emotive, does look genuinely surprised by the answer he's given. Huh. That's been a while. He'll prop one of his elbows up on the table, leaning his chin on his hand as he watches Yamada from across the tiny booth. ]
Why? Because I'm handsome?
[ Though that feels weird to say. Nanami doesn't think of himself as handsome. He doesn't think of himself as much of anything, if he's honest. But if other people seem to think he's handsome, that's their choice to. ]
[ It's only when Yamada calls him a tsundere that his expression breaks a little and he looks away, a hint of embarrassment on his features. ]
I'm notβ
[ He clears his throat. There's no need to get caught up in that debate right now. This is probably not the first time he's been called a tsundere but still. But the rest of what he says, admittedly, has Nanami's heart fluttering just a bit and he likes the idea of being Yamada's type. That's... actually quite nice. ]
If... that's what you think, I'm in no position to change your mind. I can admit to being flattered by it, in fact.
[ This guy!! Yamada is so dang confident and eager that it's definitely making Nanami feel a little charmed. He twists the napkin in a hand a little out of restlessness and then nods, eyes still averted behind his sunglasses. ]
... Okay. If you want to call this a date, you have my permission. This is a date.

I imagine we'll do the kissing after we eat.

[ And the second half sort of catches him off guard. He chuckles and rests his head on folded hands with elbows on the table. ]
That's how dates typically go.
[ It was a risky move. Calling it a date. But he could be playing! Joking! He was joking all the time. Haha, unless? Sorta thing. ]

[ He freely admits. Nanamin just seems like the type to appreciate honesty. God knows he was blunt enough which brings him to his next point. ]
You're also my type. Tsundere, stoic, practical.
[ He shrugs! A smile on his face. ]
And you're a pretty good guy. So what's not to like?

It's the truth!
[ He leaned a little closer. Just a touch! Enough to say that he had. ]
Enough to officially call this a date?
