pyrrha;

[Look, it's a normal, casual Monday. Normal, casual Monday means that neither Sousei nor Tenka is expecting much to happen on this casual day. They always have a segment of time in which they are both at home, when Sousei has gotten home from work and Tenka hasn't yet left--so it's that period of time in which they're sitting as casually as ever at the low, traditional table.

Clearly, now is an excellent time for a visitor to come with dinner.

Because Tenka will never turn down food and Sousei is easily steamrolled over by Tenka--

Either way, whether Pyrrha lets them know she's coming over or not, neither of them will be ready for

~*tacos*~]

yoon;

[When Yoon lets Sousei know that he actually has done some research into the medical topics that Sousei's been poking into, Sousei doesn't hesitate to invite him over. Tenka, naturally, will be sticking around for this as well, since it's Tenka that it most importantly involves--

So hope you don't mind seeing the both of them watching you rather intently when you finally make it to the apartment they share, Yoon.

At least Tenka's friendlier than Sousei... at least there's that. Still, for a topic this important and a guest properly invited over, there is tea at the low table, and preparation for a lengthy discussion.]

hinata;

[Hope you didn't have plans this evening, Hinata, because then your phone is buzzing with a terrible invitation from a certain Aniki who causes all sorts of trouble all the time--]

hinata-kun!!!! come to dinner at my place tonight!! if you don't show up i'm going to be offended

don't be THAT guy, hinata-kun

also i dare you to flip the table in front of sousei

[ah yes. At least it's the promise of dinner...?

This can only end poorly.]

saya;

[Friday is always a good day of the week for customers, right...? Especially weird customers. Well, hopefully Saya's Friday hasn't been too much of a nightmare, because then Sousei and Tenka are wandering into the flower store together, bickering over what sounds like boxes of cookies (do you want to know? Probably not.) and overall not looking like the sorts of people who should be in flower stores.

Do you dare approach, even.... they don't look like they're even looking at the flowers yet, too distracted by their bickering.]

jaune;

[There are two men walking to dinner on a Friday night.

This is very, very heterosexual.

But it's their habit to do so and try out new places (or as new as Sousei is willing to accept), and it was a habit started when neither of them could cook. Now they have people who can cook living with them, but...it's hard to stop the habit, really. Even if they wanted to.

So they're strolling by the park, heading towards the restaurants further in the city. This might be a great time to show senpai your stuff, Jaune.

(it's probably a terrible time to show senpai your stuff.)]

tsurumaru;

[AFTER DINNER they make their way back home, Sousei a little harried (Tenka mostly amused.). But they're not really paying that close of attention to things now that they're back on their floor, having...happily, blissfully forgotten that they're living nearby someone who is now obsessed with the art of surprise.

Really, they're just sitting ducks as they walk down the hallway, how could you resist?]

shinpachi;

[It's been A Day.

Friday night is prime partying night, but if Shinpachi makes his way to Tenka's bar that night, he'll find a Sousei who very much does not look ready to party. If anything, he looks like he's ready to Drink To Forget.

He's not that far gone, admittedly, but... he is sitting there at the bar, sake in hand as he watches Tenka serve a few of the other patrons, and he is actually drinking for once.

Clearly he needs friendship and company.]

Comments

[sunshrouded]

[ . . . . hm.

He's just going to copy that then! The crunch noise is a surprise but you know what, go big or go home. Tenka opens his mouth wide and then takes his bite.

Om nom.

And then there's a pleased noise!]

Mmmmm!!

[HE CAN TASTE THE MEAT and healthy things.]

[reuser]

[ Swallowing her bite, Pyrrha waits a moment before asking, ]

So? What do you think?

[ Tenka seems happy, at least. But, as Pyrrha has learned, him and Sousei are like a see-saw that never moves. One side always tips down, toward stoicism framed through a frowned mouth and a furrowed brow; the other side is always up, gregarious and enthusiastic, vibrant. Her glance goes back to Sousei, trying (and failing!) to gauge his expression. ]

[deontology]

[There, there, Pyrrha--Sousei is grumpy and stoic at the best of times, but even so he has manners. When someone brings a meal, it's only polite, really.]

It is very good.

[It's only polite, but also he's honest; the food is foreign to him, but it's tasty nonetheless. Not bad, really. Maybe they should consider adding this to their diet....

If it'll get Tenka to eat his veggies--]

[sunshrouded]

[It's only because she's a lady that he even remembers to swallow down his chewed food before talking to be honest. Still though, Tenka's happy to give his opinion even though he's an open book.]

Yeah, yeah! It's great, Pyrrha-chan...!! And you're saying you made this?

[He says as he continues to chow down. He is now the taco master.]

[reuser]

[ It’s hard not to look pleased, proud, at Sousei’s understated approval. Her eating is a bit slowed, bites taken around her answer and not in-between. ]

Yeah, I did. They’re not difficult.

[ bite bite chew swallow ]

I can give you the recipe.

[ You, as in - whoever does the cooking, really. ]

[deontology]

[..."you" as in neither of them, really, neither of them can cook worth a damn. Sousei hesitates for a moment, and then simply nods.

Sure.

Fine.

They can follow a recipe (or Souza can....)]

That would be appreciated. We are attempting to adapt to other types of food, but it can be difficult at times.

[For Sousei. Tenka's a pro.]

[sunshrouded]

[Definitely neither of them will be touching that recipe. Regardless, Tenka's beaming as he swallows his next bite of taco before chirping up happily again.]

That'd be great, Pyrrha-chan!!

Do you know how hard it is to get Sousei to try new food here that he actually likes? He's really picky. What a difficult guy.

[he says as he sits next to him at a family lunch

ok.jpg]

[reuser]

[ Difficult at times, Sousei says. Picky, Tenka says. Pyrrha’s glance moves between them as they speak in turn. ]

The good thing about tacos is that you can put whatever you want into the shell.

[ Hopefully no one ever introduces Tenka to the M&M taco— ]

[deontology]

[Tenka's a dick, don't listen to Tenka.

Sousei huffs a vaguely unimpressed, irritated noise, and glances at Tenka.]

Your opinion isn't necessary. Your taste in food here is terrible.

[Just saying. But when he turns his attention back to Pyrrha, it's just to say--]

For now, the recipe that you used should be fine. [It's healthier than what Tenka would consider putting in, seriously, don't give him that power.]

[sunshrouded]

My opinion is always necessary--

[that said]

But yeah, this is tasty! There's veggies in this? It's pretty good when you put it all together!

[what do you think the green stuff is, tenka]

[reuser]

[ Watching them bicker like a married couple, Pyrrha can’t quite hide her smile. It’s cute, okay. ]

Yeah, I put in some zucchini, onions and tomatoes.

[deontology]

[they are not a married couple shut up.]

I see. [Zucchini??? What is zucchini. He just doesn't know.] Expanding our diet is not a bad thing in this place, when the foods are not unhealthy.

[Tenka]

[sunshrouded]

[Here's where Tenka asks the question that they're both wondering:]

What's a zucchini....?

[He repeats the word once again, as if testing out if he's saying it correctly:]

Zucchini.

[reuser]

[ Folding the edge of her shell back, Pyrrha plucks up a thin slice of zucchini to show them. ]

It’s also called summer squash.

[ It’s possible she just doomed them, if Tenka’s appetite is in any way similar to your average eight year old child’s...

Deftly, the small bit of zucchini is tossed back into her mouth. Om nom. ]

[deontology]

[...yeah he's got nothing. Do you really think he knows a lot of foods.... especially foods non-native to Japan? The answer is a definitive no, he doesn't cook.

At all.

He takes another bite of his taco, and after he has finished chewing--]

Either way, it does not taste bad. [that's as close to compliments as he gets with this sort of thing.]
