He didn't answer. Instead, the smirk seemed to grow, his lips curved up in what seemed like a feral grin. Manouvering the car with smooth moves, Jin pulled out into the driveway and drove off into a direction opposite from where they had came from. A hand on the steering wheel, Jin juggled with another to make a blind grab for his bluetooth earset from the small driver's compartment. He put it on, and made a speed dial of a number.

When he heard the other line clicked, Jin broke into a grin. "Hey. Back already?" There was a small pause as he listened to his friend talking at the other line, and Jin occasionally laughed at the responses he got. "Oh, hey. I was thinking of trying that restaurant you told me about last week. Yes, that." A small chuckle. "Yeah, finally. You can't blame me. I was busy playing nurse. And I'm getting my nursing salary paid today." Jin spared a quick glance at Kame, the teasing grin on his face. "Can you help me do a reservation tonight? Now? Under my name. Yeah. Thanks a lot. Oh and hey, send my regards to them. Tell her I'm sorry I can't join. Next time, alright?" He laughed and then bid his goodbye, taking off the bluetooth set when he was done.

"All set." Jin muttered. "Tonight, we're gonna eat Italian." Jin grinned widely, his excitement rivaling like those of a small kid. Italian was his favorite cuisine after all.

Kame didn't fully pay attention to the conversation Jin was having through the phone, but he did catch a few bits here and there. And at the mention of nurse, he snorted (though an amused smile slowly crept onto his face afterwards) and glanced at Jin, catching the teasing grin. He chuckled soon after.

"Italian? Now that shouldn't be so surprising." he said with a bit of a thoughtful look, trying to recall a bit of the past. Wasn't Jin a big fan of it? The wide grin easily gave away the answer to that. He replied with a smile. Maybe he wasn't regretting it after all, he did like Italian. "Sounds good to me."

[kakusanaide]

With his driving skills and the speed he used, they were able to arrive at the restaurant well within 15 minutes. Jin pulled up in front of the restaurant and opted for the valet service, stepping out of his car and handing his remote key to the jockey.

Tugging at his blazer, Jin corrected his attire before making his way into the shop, stopping at the reception desk at the very front. "Akanishi Jin." he told the waitress, and she simply nodded, escorting both he and Kame to their table. It was his first time here, and Jin was pleased with the interior designs of the restaurant. The restaurant was full - as expected, since it's well-known and posh too - it was lucky that he had a friend who had inside connection. What Jin didn't expect though, was the roses and the extravagant candlelight setting on their table. Jin smacked his forehead. What the hell was his friend thinking? He didn't say it was a frickin' date!

Mind reeling with mental curses, his eyebrow twitching slightly in annoyance as he slipped into his seat. A waiter came and helped spread the napkin onto their laps, before handing them the menu while informing them of the day's special. Before the man could take his leave, however, Jin cued for him to come close and the young waiter bent over to him. "Can you remove these candles?" Jin asked, a finger pointing at the large old-styled candles that had what seemed like a Romanian style carving on it.

The moment Kame stepped into the restaurant, he was awed by the interior design, and be couldn't help but glanced around while they were being escorted to their table. Sure, he'd gone to posh restaurants once in a while, and sure he considered himself wealthy, but it was something that he didn't take for granted. He never really stopped admiring the things he could afford, because they were something that he never could've gotten in the past.

Upon seeing their table, Kame raised an eyebrow, giving Jin a brief sideglance and could notice that it wasn't his plan. He chuckled while he seated himself, figuring that it might've been Jin's friend (?). There was no other way, Kame thought as he took the menu from the waiter, because the look on Jin said it all.

He watched as Jin said something to the waiter, something that he couldn't quite catch, but when the other pointed at the candles he had a slight suspicion. "I kind of like the candles." he said, lips curved into a smile, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "The roses are a bit too much though." And red roses nontheless.

[kakusanaide]

Jin wasn't sure whether to laugh or smack his forehead; a part of him sort of had the feeling that the candle might end up staying on their table after all. He blinked at Kame's words, before regaining his senses and spoke up. "Fine. The candle can stay. Take the roses." The waiter nodded and then proceeded to remove the roses, whilst Jin pouted for a bit. He couldn't really say it, but he'd like to keep candlelight dinners for special occasions - like when (or if ever) they'd end up in a real date, because then, he could make everything special and memorable. Oh well. Since Kame liked it, he guess he could let it go. For now. At least, it was Kame that he was sharing this candlelight dinner with. If it was some other person, Jin had a feeling, he'd probably refuse more.

Eyes scanning the menu, Jin wondered what he should eat. Steak, perhaps? Or pasta? The prices for both were exceptionally high, especially the steaks.

Kame smiled when the roses where removed by the waiter. They were nice, but a bit too much, and since it wasn't a real date, he'd like to keep it simple... Not that the candle belonged to the section 'simple', but, he just liked the way it made the atmosphere seem nicer. Snapping out of his thoughts when the waiter was already long out of sight, he glanced back at the menu, taking a look at the pasta sections. "I think I'll take fettuccine alfredo." he said after a small moment of pondering in silence. "What about you?" he asked Jin and looked up from his menucart. "Oh, and what about the drinks?" Personally, he was thinking about wine, but he had no idea what Jin wanted.

[kakusanaide]

It didn't take long for him to decide, used to Italian food as he was. When Kame mentioned of his choice, Jin nodded absentmindedly, his eyes focusing on the wine list. Two fingers raised, Jin casually prompted for a waiter to come to the table, now that they both had settled on their choices of food. "I'll have the filet mignon." Jin stated, closing the menu book and placed it aside. "For drinks, a bottle of Amarone, please." A quick glance at Kame - while ordering the wine - indicated his demand to have them both share the same wine, breaking off the glance only to look back at the waiter and made sure he got the right order. He then looked at Kame expectantly, waiting for the others to complete their orders.

[sixteenxseconds]

"Uh, and for me the fettuccine alfredo." Kame ordered as the waiter just nodded and wrote it down on his little notebook, walking away afterwards leaving the two of them alone again. He turned to sit straight again which made him face Jin, and he flashed a smile before looking around the restaurant. "Amazing how you managed to get a table when the place is packed." he stated, the room filled with talks and soft laughters, for which he was glad in this case because it would make up for the silence that usually fell upon them. And of course, his statement was a mere attempt to start a conversation.

[kakusanaide]

"Connections." Jin replied simply, shrugging. He gave the restaurant a glance over, comprehending the reason why his friends had recommended it to him. He was beginning to like the contemporary styling of the interior, finding it albeit too familiar to his own home. "So..." Jin began when he finished looking around, "How was it? The premiere?"

[sixteenxseconds]

"It was great. From the beginning till the end." he answered, a bright smile finding its way onto his face, and he look at Jin again. "Thanks for inviting me." Till now, he was still a bit surprised that Jin had actually asked him whether he wanted to come along, considering how they were before.

The waiter came with their drink, placing two glasses on the table before pouring them half-full with the wine. With a single bow, he left them again, and Kame picked up his glass twirling the wine around before taking a sip. "Nice," he mumbled to himself.

[kakusanaide]

The smile that etched across Kame's face made him smile automatically in return; he sank back onto his chair relaxingly as he listened to what Kame had to say. "I just had an extra ticket." he clarified sincerely. To be truthful, if it wasn't for Kame, he probably wouldn't go to the premiere despite the tickets - wasn't really a fan of the medias. But then again, he couldn't really tell Kame that. So he thought he'd keep it to himself.

When the wine came, Jin gladly took a sip out of the fine wine, smiling to himself at the taste. Ah, yes. This was the one that he had been meaning to try. There's a slight sweet taste to it, which came off as quite a surprise, but the whole drink was pleasant in itself. He was pleased.

Placing the wine glass back down, Jin looked up at Kame, his eyes studying. "You know, as much as I'd like to avoid this..." he begun, an arm on the table, his fingers hovering over his own lips and chin. "I think we both know that we have things to resolve." His eyes looked at Kame's deeply, looking for any reactions from the person who used to be his junior.

[sixteenxseconds]

The moment Jin began about resolving their issues, he glanced downwards at the table avoiding Jin's deep gaze, knowing that they had to. He nodded slowly. "I know." he said, though he'd rather much leave everything behind. But then again, ignoring unresolved issues would only bring more problems later, he figured.

He sighed and looked up to meet Jin's eyes again, determined to talk it out. "Where do you want to start?"

[kakusanaide]

Eyes flicked up at the response, and Jin moved to lean back into his own seat, an arm flung over the headrest. He picked up his glass and took another sip. "From you." Jin said in earnest, not peeling his gaze even once from the man before him. "You can say whatever you want. Ask me, tell me, why, what. Anything that you're not pleased with. Anything that you're mad at. Tell me everything. And I'll answer them all." Even as he sipped his drink, he looked at Kame through the rim of his glass, seriousness seemed very afloat in the air.

This was probably going to take a while. But so will their food.

[sixteenxseconds]

Kame bit his lower lip, hands playing with the napkin as he pondered on what to ask. It was not like he had no idea what to ask, he just didn't know which question to ask. Ever since Jin left high school, so many unanswered questions lingered in his mind for so long that it was still a wonder he never became insane because of it. He took a deep breath and picked up his wine glass to take a sip of it.

"What made you leave?" he asked, now looking into Jin's eyes.

[kakusanaide]

He should've expected the question. He did. But despite that, he was still taken aback at it. The fact that he finally heard it from Kame himself, probably had caught him off guard. Damn it. All his words seemed to flew off the window. At this rate, he might actually say something that could blow his cover. Jin placed the glass back on the table, and took a deep breath. "Parents. My dad got moved up to a different post." he said, almost nonchalantly. It wasn't the whole truth, but it wasn't a lie, either.

A silent glance at the other, and Jin felt like he needed to say something more. His words were insufficient, weren't they? "And I...I never got the chance to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry..." Jin paused for a while before continuing. "I'm sorry, Kazuya."

[sixteenxseconds]

Kame felt like he wasn't completely pleased with Jin's answer to his question - was that really all? - but he kept silent, eyes on the napkin he was playing with. What to say, what to say. It seemed that he didn't need to think about that for too long, because Jin spoke up again, and he only looked up when he heard 'sorry'. He felt tears welling up in his eyes, but he fought them back, biting his lower lip. "Why?" he asked, his voice almost a whisper. "Why didn't you tell me you were leaving?"
