RP Log - Kevin and Jiroh Date
Events unknown to all but stalkers.
Set the night of Kaidoh's party.
Jiroh: *sitting at small table beside Kevin in sushi restaurant* *sitting might not be the right word since he is actually bouncing around in his seat like a four year old on speed* *has ordered for them both because Kevin is a clueless American* You've really never had sushi before? I thought they had lots of it in [*Engrish*] Cawlfornayha since they have their own type of maki! ^_____^
Kevin: *plays with his chopsticks, still thinking about how Ryoma hadn't kept his word and they hadn't gotten to play the match they were supposed to* *taps the chopsticks to the table in random stabbing motions* *looks up when Jiroh speaks* I prefer hamburgers.
Jiroh: I like those too! I always get a Happy Meal and I got one of those Hello Kitty toys last time because they messed up and forgot to give me a boy one, but I gave it to my sister so that's okay! :D
Kevin: *gives Jiroh a look* They have boy Hello Kitty?
Jiroh: *is actually aware that Kevin is pissy* *is still cheery* No, they have race cars for the boys! ^____^
Kevin: Ah. And you still get Happy Meals? Aren't they not sold to you once you turn five or something?
Jiroh: No, you can get Happy Meals anytime! *is more pleased by this than the average human being* :D *asks next question as if it weren't changing the topic at all because there is some sort of logical connection in his mind* Did you mean to let me keep you at the net for the first three games? :)
Tall Waiter Man: *arrives with two platters of sushi thus interrupting the conversation* *puts food on table*
Jiroh: Thank you!!!! :D
Tall Waiter Man: *is stoic* *walks away*
Kevin: *pokes his food experimentally with his chopsticks* Huh? The net? *picks up sushi and takes a bite, chewing vengefully* Were you at the net? I don't remember.
Jiroh: *picks up a piece of sushi from the same platter as Kevin* Do you like it? Uni nagiri is one of my favorites. ^____^ *eats sushi* *juggles two conversational topics at once* You let me take the first three games. I could barely win two last time! I didn't know if you were practicing or something. :)
Kevin: *wonders vaguely why Jiroh isn't eating from his own plate* *picks up another piece of sushi* What is this, anyway? *holds it up for examination* I wasn't practicing. I was supposed to have a match with Ryoma but he bailed. He's constantly underestimating me, the brat. He's probably afraid I'll beat him. Lousy jerk... *mutters string of anti-Ryoma adjectives, nouns and colourful phrases*
Jiroh: Raw sea urchin. ^_____^ *picks up a piece from the other platter* This is unakyu--eel and cucumber. *eats* You'll get to play him sometime. You're not leaving Japan anytime soon, are you? *is beginning to enter into Kevin's personal space somehow without moving his chair*
Kevin: *blinks. shrugs. eats* It's a little chewy. *swallows food before speaking again* *fist tightens on the table* I'd better get to play him. I won't be satisfied till I win. *pounds table, then sits up straight* *sighs* I'm not leaving Japan. We just got a sponsor to play here for the next year. They're figuring out schools for us and all that. *pokes chopsticks at his food, wondering if that's the table leg or some other leg that he keeps bumping into* I've been staying in a hotel for now.
Jiroh: That's awesome!!!!! *is responding to the staying here part and gesticulating wildly with his hands* :D *continues eating but remains focused on Kevin*
Kevin: *watches Jiroh flail and smirks, trying not to laugh out loud, since hurting Jiroh's feelings would probably mean paying for the both of them* It's okay. I haven't gotten to play many matches though, and there are no tennis courts at the hotel. *folds arms across chest* Those planners are doing everything last-minute. *pouts* I don't like just sitting around, doing nothing.
Jiroh: Oh, well, you don't have to do nothing! :D *still doing the hand notions with the chopsticks* You can sleep or hang out or something when people won't play tennis! *picks up a piece of sushi* There's lots of stuff to do in the city! :D *forgets about the sushi and sends it flying across the restaurant* Oh, oops. *sheepish*
Kevin: I know there's stuff to do. But I want to play tennis. It's my number one goal. I won't rest until I've reached it. Don't you understand? *looks at Jiroh seriously* *frowns, then snickers when he notices where the sushi has gone* *indicates somewhat harried-looking waiters* They'll clean it up - don't worry. It's just sushi, anyway.
Jiroh: *looks even more sheepish* I didn't mean to... ^___^ *suddenly no longer sheepish and once again brimming with enthusiasm* Of course I know tennis is important, but you can't play all the time! Other stuff is fun too! :D
Sushi Platters: *are almost empty*
Kevin: I only have fun when I'm playing tennis. All that other stuff is...stupid. Except video games. *places chopsticks on table* I think I'm done with dinner.
Jiroh: We can go then. ^_____^ The register is up front. *gets up and leaves tip* *hovers very close to Kevin*
Kevin: *wonders if the restaurant is full when Jiroh seems to keep bumping into him* *thinks about his IM conversation with Ryoma* *looks up at Jiroh, who seems to have a permanent smile plastered on his face* *looks back at the ground* Thanks for treating me to dinner. *shoves hands in his pockets as they walk out* *looks around* Which way to the movie theater?
Jiroh: *points to the left* This way! ^____^ *waits for Kevin before he starts walking*
Kevin: *balls hands into fists, blond hair covering the sides of his face as his cheeks tinge pink, unable to forget what Ryoma had said about pants, getting into them, and Jiroh's ability not to bite when important* *shakes thoughts from his mind as they walk* Is it a long walk?
Jiroh: Not too long. :) *is very close to Kevin because this is a date* So only video games and tennis for fun? *manages to look at Kevin and walk at the same time through some miracle of physics*
Kevin: Good. *resists his usual urge to back away when Jiroh's arm keeps bumping lightly against his shoulder* *keeps his face hidden, feeling Jiroh's stare* Yeah, tennis and video games. And movies, I guess. *looks sideways at Jiroh* I'm not into that whole DDR thing that seems to be popular here. So don't ask me to do that.
Jiroh: I like to be able to move more than that when I dance. ^______^ *thinks Kevin's shyness is cute and has no idea that it is partially due to the fact that he thinks he might be getting head within the next hour* This is the first time I've done the dinner and a movie thing. :)
Kevin: Well, you do have a lot of energy. Echizen told me you were normally sleepy... *realises this sentence will lead into a conversation he doesn't want to have, about what Ryoma might have said and what he might be thinking* You've never gone to dinner and a movie? Billy and I do that all the time, back in America.
Jiroh: Only sleepy when there's nothing better to do. :D *last sentence hits* Oh. *pauses* Is Billy your boyfriend? ^__^
Kevin: Yeah, he um...said that too. *looks up at the change in tone* Boyfriend? *shakes head fervently* I haven't...I mean, I don't...no, he's not my boyfriend. *avoids Jiroh's eyes* I'm too busy with tennis. I don't have time for dating like that.
Jiroh: You seem to have time now! :D *slows down and stops walking* This is it! *points to a small and very vintage-looking cinema that sprung up out of nowhere*
Kevin: *follows the line of Jiroh's hand to look at the theater* *looks at his own wrist and realises he has forgotten his watch back in his hotel room* *reaches for Jiroh's hand to look at the time, then pulls back, leaving his hands at his sides* Um...what time is it? I mean, are we early?
Kevin: *shrugs* Probably better to go inside. We'd just look stupid standing here. *heads inside, partly-listening for Jiroh's following footsteps*
Jiroh: Okay! :D *stops to buy tickets on the way in* Do you want candy or popcorn or something to drink or anything? They have Gummi Bears! *cannot imagine anyone not liking Gummi Bears* :D
Kevin: *stands waiting as Jiroh pays for things, wondering if he should offer to pay* *walks towards Jiroh* Gummi Bears are okay. Get some of those. And a soda - I'm still thirsty. *steps next to Jiroh and pulls out his wallet* I'll pay for this. Get whatever you want.
Jiroh: My treat this time. ^_____^ *in an attempt at being coy that is ruined by the enthusiasm* You can pay next time if you want. *orders drinks and GUMMI BEARS and a popcorn for them to share because they always do that in chick flicks* Want to go get our seats? :D
Kevin: *blinks at Jiroh, who has somehow managed to pay without giving Kevin the chance to look for the correct types of Japanese money to use* Thanks. *frowns a little* Yeah, let's go to our seats. *looks at Jiroh* Here. *takes the popcorn so that Jiroh's hands aren't full* *walks inside theater* Where do you want to sit?
Theater: *is small*
Jiroh: Back's better. It's too hard to see the screen up front. ^______^ *motions Kevin toward the seats in a manner that makes you wonder how he hasn't dropped the concessions yet*
Kevin: *moves to the seats indicated by Jiroh's bubbly yet surprisingly balanced arms* *moves towards the more central seats in back* *sits* *looks at screen* It's just previews. *sits back in his chair* Let me have some of that soda.
Jiroh: *attempts to hand Kevin his drink, put his own in the cup holder, set down the Gummi Bears, and take his seat all at the same time* *actually achieves most of this before falling over and landing somewhat on top of Kevin* *makes a noise like a keysmash as he falls*
Kevin: *makes odd, flushed noises of protest as Jiroh falls over, his eyes wide* *stares blankly for a few seconds* *puts his soda in the cup holder and leans over, offering his hand* Jiroh? Are you okay?
Jiroh: *flails as he tries to get up* *possibly touches Kevin more than is appropriate while attempting to do this but, seriously, it isn't intentional* I'M SO SORRY! *is now back on his feet* *scratches head* Eh, I'm alright! I fall over all the time! I just don't normally do it on you! :D
Kevin: *blinks some more* It's okay. I'm just... *thinks for a little bit before continuing* ...glad you're all right. I guess.
Irate Audience Member: *glares* The movie's starting! Shhh!
Kevin: *glares back twice as fierce* Go to hell, jerk.
Jiroh: *ignores audience member completely and takes his seat* *smiles at Kevin as the movie starts* :D
Kevin: *offers popcorn, relaxing as the previews start up* *sighs at the movies that look stupid, which are most of them* *leans in to whisper* How long are these previews going to last? It's been twenty minutes already!
Jiroh: *leans in and takes some popcorn* *whispers loudly because he sucks at whispering* I don't know. *shrugs* I usually sleep through them. ^_____^
Irate Audience Member: *looks back at Kevin and Jiroh* Shhhh!
Kevin: *takes handful of popcorn* *throws it*
Irate Audience Member: *shakes fist* *turns back around, picking popcorn out of his hair*
Kevin: *feels Jiroh's fingers brush against his when he goes for more pocorn* *freezes up for a few seconds* *shrugs it off and munches on pocorn* Oh look, it's starting. Finally.
Jiroh: *thinks Kevin throwing the popcorn at the Irate Audience Member is wonderful* *attempts to watch movie but nothing exciting has happened yet and he has the attention span of something with a really short attention span* *notices that their hands are very close together with Kevin's on the armrest and begins to do the slow motion thing where he tries to be all subtle about wanting to hold hands* ^____^
Kevin: *watches the screen* *takes sip of soda* *sits back* *watches screen some more*
Jiroh: *touches Kevin's hand experimentally* *attempts to look like he isn't as horribly dorky as he really is*
Kevin: *looks at Jiroh questioningly* Did you want more popcorn?
Jiroh: *decides to be direct because he doesn't want any more popcorn right now* *looks at Kevin, puts his hand around his, and smiles at him* No. :D
Kevin: *looks at Jiroh's hand, which is now around his own hand* *looks at it some more* *and even a little more* *hears movie starting up with cool special effects but can't stop staring at Jiroh's hand* *opens his mouth a few times to say something* *looks at Jiroh, who is as smiley as ever* *mouth muscles won't move* *nods a little* *forces his eyes back to the screen, unaware of much but the way his heartbeat seems to be faster than usual*
Jiroh: *is incredibly content for the moment* *watches movie because something is exploding* :D
Kevin: *thinks about conversation he had with Ryoma one more time* *looks at Jiroh* *considers* *moves his hand so that their fingers are threading together* *looks back at the screen or anywhere that isn't Jiroh* *makes irritated sound at bad joke in the movie, wondering why he had to pick then to start paying attention*
Jiroh: *finds bad joke amusing* *is distracted from the movie by Kevin's fingers* *bites lip because he is partially a thirteen year old girl at heart and begins to slowly run his thumb back and forth against the back of Kevin's hand* ^______^
Kevin: *eyes widen in surprise when he feels Jiroh's thumb rubbing his hand* *tries to think, but Jiroh's touch is distracting* *wonders at the way his stomach feels a little bit strange, all prickly and anxious* *doesn't know why, but wants Jiroh to continue rubbing* *thinks* *gives Jiroh's hand a slight squeeze*
Jiroh: *squeezes back and continues rubbing* *is ecstatic to the point of exploding and keeps glancing at Kevin*
Kevin: *feels his face warming as he notices Jiroh's more frequent glances* *stares blankly ahead, completely unable to pay attention to the movie now* *stretches his fingers and gets better, gentle grip on Jiroh's hand* *clears his throat, feeling oddly nervous, a little*
Jiroh: *leaning in and whispering badly yet again* This okay? ^_____^
Kevin: Huh? *looks at Jiroh* Oh. Um. *looks at their hands and tries to comprehend how something he's seen hundreds of other people do can feel so new, and good* Sure.
Jiroh: *beams at Kevin* *scoots in seat so their shoulders are touching and at least pretends to be somewhat interested in the movie* *thinks this is possibly better than a puppy* :D
Kevin: *clears his throat again* *still can't think but having Jiroh's shoulders so close is starting to become kind of nice* *sort of smiles* *sort of leans in*
Jiroh: *makes some sort of contented noise* :D *considers kissing Kevin but then there is an explosion in the movie that he did not know was coming so he nearly jumps out of his seat and makes a very uncool squawking noise*
Kevin: *sits through explosion calmly* *glances at Jiroh, seeing him flail* *shakes his head* *goes back to watching movie*
Jiroh: *does something similar to regaining his composure and resituates himself next to Kevin* *keeps glancing at the movie warily so that he isn't surprised again* ^______^
Kevin: *looks at Jiroh again* Are you going to be okay for the rest of the movie?
Jiroh: *is easily over-excited and aware that he would probably end up making a fool of himself in a very loud manner if he tried to answer that* *leans forward and kisses Kevin instead* :)
Kevin: *blinks*
Jiroh: *smiles at Kevin* Was that okay? :D
Kevin: *isn't sure how to answer* *tries to process the kiss, which was a lot softer than he thought any kiss would be* *nods* Yeah. It was all right. *fingers tighten their hold around Jiroh in a sort of nervous, unsure excitement*
Jiroh: Want to do it again? :D
Irate Audience Member: *turns around again because they've not been whispering* Hey, you two, shut up already! Some of us are trying to watch the movie!
Kevin: *picks up soda* *smiles vengefully as he shakes it around warningly* *glares at audience member, who glares back* Be careful, old man. *smirks when audience guy turns back around* *puts down soda* Damn. I really wanted to throw it, too.
Jiroh: *defies all logic and smiles even wider than before because he seems to have a thing for boys with an attitude* *goes with the impulse and quickly leans further over the armrest to kiss Kevin again, because threats of soda-violence are almost as good as consent* :D
Kevin: *drops popcorn accidentally when Jiroh leans over again* *closes his eyes during the kiss this time* *vows to stop having his face go light pink each time* Oh. *mumbles thanks*
Jiroh: You're welcome! :D *is entirely unconcerned by the fact that he is practically in Kevin's lap and that they're covered with popcorn because he's dazed with excessive glee*
Kevin: *kind of likes being close to someone without hitting them or trying to bruise them with tennis balls* *doesn't say this aloud*
Jiroh: *settles himself against Kevin and eventually falls asleep with his head on his shoulder*
Kevin:*watches rest of movie with his hand holding Jiroh's* *looks at Jiroh when the lights come up and the movie is over*
Jiroh: *regains something resembling consciousness and squints against the apparently random brightness*
Kevin: *slowly detaches his hand to brush off bits of popcorn he didn't see in the dark* I have to go home now.
Jiroh: *smiles sleepily at Kevin as they exit the theater and cinema an becomes a little more aware once they're out on the sidewalk* I really had fun, Kevin! :D
Kevin: *re-adjusts the sunglasses on top of his head, feeling slightly rumpled somehow* Yeah, it the movie was all right. *tries not to realise how awkward his hands feel after an hour of holdings hands - something he's not used to all, and something that makes him forget what things were like before hand-holding* *smiles a little at Jiroh* We should do this again. *looks away* Sometime.
Jiroh: :D
Scene: *fades to black*

Kevin: *looks at Jiroh's hand, which is now around his own hand* *looks at it some more* *and even a little more* *hears movie starting up with cool special effects but can't stop staring at Jiroh's hand* *opens his mouth a few times to say something* *looks at Jiroh, who is as smiley as ever* *mouth muscles won't move* *nods a little* *forces his eyes back to the screen, unaware of much but the way his heartbeat seems to be faster than usual*
Jiroh: *is incredibly content for the moment* *watches movie because something is exploding* :D
Kevin: *thinks about conversation he had with Ryoma one more time* *looks at Jiroh* *considers* *moves his hand so that their fingers are threading together* *looks back at the screen or anywhere that isn't Jiroh* *makes irritated sound at bad joke in the movie, wondering why he had to pick then to start paying attention*
Jiroh: *finds bad joke amusing* *is distracted from the movie by Kevin's fingers* *bites lip because he is partially a thirteen year old girl at heart and begins to slowly run his thumb back and forth against the back of Kevin's hand* ^______^
Kevin: *eyes widen in surprise when he feels Jiroh's thumb rubbing his hand* *tries to think, but Jiroh's touch is distracting* *wonders at the way his stomach feels a little bit strange, all prickly and anxious* *doesn't know why, but wants Jiroh to continue rubbing* *thinks* *gives Jiroh's hand a slight squeeze*
Jiroh: *squeezes back and continues rubbing* *is ecstatic to the point of exploding and keeps glancing at Kevin*
Kevin: *feels his face warming as he notices Jiroh's more frequent glances* *stares blankly ahead, completely unable to pay attention to the movie now* *stretches his fingers and gets better, gentle grip on Jiroh's hand* *clears his throat, feeling oddly nervous, a little*
Jiroh: *leaning in and whispering badly yet again* This okay? ^_____^
Kevin: Huh? *looks at Jiroh* Oh. Um. *looks at their hands and tries to comprehend how something he's seen hundreds of other people do can feel so new, and good* Sure.
Jiroh: *beams at Kevin* *scoots in seat so their shoulders are touching and at least pretends to be somewhat interested in the movie* *thinks this is possibly better than a puppy* :D
Kevin: *clears his throat again* *still can't think but having Jiroh's shoulders so close is starting to become kind of nice* *sort of smiles* *sort of leans in*
Jiroh: *makes some sort of contented noise* :D *considers kissing Kevin but then there is an explosion in the movie that he did not know was coming so he nearly jumps out of his seat and makes a very uncool squawking noise*
Kevin: *sits through explosion calmly* *glances at Jiroh, seeing him flail* *shakes his head* *goes back to watching movie*
Jiroh: *does something similar to regaining his composure and resituates himself next to Kevin* *keeps glancing at the movie warily so that he isn't surprised again* ^______^
Kevin: *looks at Jiroh again* Are you going to be okay for the rest of the movie?
Jiroh: *is easily over-excited and aware that he would probably end up making a fool of himself in a very loud manner if he tried to answer that* *leans forward and kisses Kevin instead* :)
Kevin: *blinks*
Jiroh: *smiles at Kevin* Was that okay? :D
Kevin: *isn't sure how to answer* *tries to process the kiss, which was a lot softer than he thought any kiss would be* *nods* Yeah. It was all right. *fingers tighten their hold around Jiroh in a sort of nervous, unsure excitement*
Jiroh: Want to do it again? :D
Irate Audience Member: *turns around again because they've not been whispering* Hey, you two, shut up already! Some of us are trying to watch the movie!
Kevin: *picks up soda* *smiles vengefully as he shakes it around warningly* *glares at audience member, who glares back* Be careful, old man. *smirks when audience guy turns back around* *puts down soda* Damn. I really wanted to throw it, too.
Jiroh: *defies all logic and smiles even wider than before because he seems to have a thing for boys with an attitude* *goes with the impulse and quickly leans further over the armrest to kiss Kevin again, because threats of soda-violence are almost as good as consent* :D
Kevin: *drops popcorn accidentally when Jiroh leans over again* *closes his eyes during the kiss this time* *vows to stop having his face go light pink each time* Oh. *mumbles thanks*
Jiroh: You're welcome! :D *is entirely unconcerned by the fact that he is practically in Kevin's lap and that they're covered with popcorn because he's dazed with excessive glee*
Kevin: *kind of likes being close to someone without hitting them or trying to bruise them with tennis balls* *doesn't say this aloud*
Jiroh: *settles himself against Kevin and eventually falls asleep with his head on his shoulder*
Kevin:*watches rest of movie with his hand holding Jiroh's* *looks at Jiroh when the lights come up and the movie is over*
Jiroh: *regains something resembling consciousness and squints against the apparently random brightness*
Kevin: *slowly detaches his hand to brush off bits of popcorn he didn't see in the dark* I have to go home now.
Jiroh: *smiles sleepily at Kevin as they exit the theater and cinema an becomes a little more aware once they're out on the sidewalk* I really had fun, Kevin! :D
Kevin: *re-adjusts the sunglasses on top of his head, feeling slightly rumpled somehow* Yeah, it the movie was all right. *tries not to realise how awkward his hands feel after an hour of holdings hands - something he's not used to all, and something that makes him forget what things were like before hand-holding* *smiles a little at Jiroh* We should do this again. *looks away* Sometime.
Jiroh: :D
Scene: *fades to black*
