"Bold statement," he replied, unraveling the lock of hair from about his finger and letting that hand fall back to the place above his head. He let it fall limp again and turned to look at the wall. He blinked slowly and tried to even out his breathing to keep Alfred from noticing that said 'bold statement' was undeniably, irrefutably, and mostly - true.

Staring at Ivan's ear for a moment, then the ashen hair, Alfred flushed slightly, laughing and sitting back. "Maybe, but you know me, not exactly subtle... So is that a yes?" he asked, a definitely tone of pining in his voice.

Without a pausing second, Ivan thrust his erect pointer finger into the air. "One," he emphasized as the flat of his finger landed on Alfred's lip, "one chance is all you get. If you dare take me to a fast food restaurant, I will march home."

Alfred nodded, smiling warmly as he shifting on top of the Russian, not daring to pull his lips away from the finger. "Alright..." he said, "No burgers, no fries, no tacos. How about coffee and make some pastries or something? Does that sound alright?"

"Fair enough," Ivan surrendered and let his hand fall so the back of his wrist rested on the bridge of his nose. A moment of silence passed, until Ivan became aware of the strange warm feeling stirring in his stomach from where Alfred had used it as a temporary bench. "You got what you wanted. It would behoove you to get off now before I lose my patience."

Alfred nodded, standing up quickly, brushing himself off before offering a hand to the Russian. "I'll call you alright? Your contact stuff is still the same, right?"

He refused Alfred's hand after gathering together his scarf and letting the material drape over his folded arms. The two inch height gain on Alfred upon standing repaired his ego only slightly. "I would prefer you use my cell phone, as my secretary would rather not schedule anything besides psychological appointments, although-" Ivan brought his curled forefinger against his chin in a mock-thinking pose, but did not complete his thought.

"I have tables to clean now, Alfred. You should think about returning home."

At least they were going to have coffee. Good start. Alfred nodded, saluting the Russian as he turned on his heel and starting towards the door. "Very funny Ivan. I'll talk to you later."

With that he was outside and once he was sure Ivan couldn't see him, slumped against the nearest building, rubbing his face and smiling slightly. This was a good start.
