[ 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. ]

How long have you been thinking about kissing me?
[ Ok, that's not small talk at all, Nanami. ]

[ 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?
