Jin's reply came faster than he'd expected and Kame was a bit surprised by it, whether it was the answer or the fastness of it. More likely it was the latter of it; the answer was more of a relief. His eyes still set on Jin's, he kept staring, perhaps trying to read his expression, or waiting for a further explanation, or both. He wasn't all too sure, but he was waiting for something, that was sure. Thus he remained silent, until after Jin's further explanation, not once touching his food. He wasn't hungry at the moment anyway.

"I see." he said after a while with a few, slow nods, letting out a deep sigh as he finally looked away from Jin, instead settling his gaze on the table. This was it, wasn't it? Now he really had answers to everything he wanted to know. Or at least, he thought so since his mind felt lighter than before.

Though, his heart still felt a bit heavy.

Picking up his glass, he stared at it for a bit, swirling it around in the glass as he did so. "You know," he began, his heartbeat quickened, and for a moment he wondered whether he should really say it out loud. It had been on his mind the whole time after Jin left back then but he could never tell him, never call him, never write him a letter even though he wanted to let the other hear his message. His small message that he wanted to voice out so badly to Jin years ago. Was it too late? "I really missed you." he finally said, his voice soft and small, and he took a long sip to hide his embarrassement.

There, his heart felt a lot less heavy now.

[kakusanaide]

Calling the statement a bit too forward would be an understatement. It was so sudden, that Jin nearly choked on his food, his eyes widening. Lucky for him, he was looking down on his meal at the time, so his expression had been clearly hidden from Kame's sight. But if he were to really choke and spit out his food, that would've been the end of his expensive dinner.

Despite calming his demeanour, Jin wasn't sure how to act at those words. Sure, he was happy. Thrilled, in fact. But how was he supposed to say it right without actually conveying his true feelings? "Ah." He looked up at the other and just smiled a genuine smile. Jin felt like hitting himself for managing only a monosyllable word for an answer at such a dire time, but the genuine smile made it less terrible, he hoped.

[ooc: ...I have no idea where this is going. xDDD]

[sixteenxseconds]

Kame chuckled at the reply he got. He wasn't dissapointed (maybe just a tiny, tiny bit but it never showed) because he didn't expect from Jin to tell him the same thing. "I just wanted to let you know." he explained, putting his glass down to start on his dinner, finally taking a bite of it and smiled at the delicious taste while he chewed. "After you left, it had been on my mind the whole time but I could never tell you." he paused, his eyes raised to meet Jin's momentarily. "And since we are supposed to talk it out for once and for all, I felt it was necessary for me to mention it."

[ooc: I... have no idea as well. XD My muse has mood swings like whoa. Shall we fastforward and end it at a certain comment? Like.. end it at comment nr. 102? See the connection? XD]

[kakusanaide]

"Ah." Again. Again with that answer, this time with a small nod. He wasn't sure why he couldn't seem to come up with proper words. Perhaps it was because of his muddled brain that's a bit too confused at the moment. Sure, he was feeling glad to hear that from Kame, but at the same time, he wasn't sure what the other meant by that. Was he being missed just because he was a good friend? Or was there other feelings behind it? Somewhere in his heart, he hoped it was the latter, but he knew there's a high chance that it's not even plausible. Jeez, what was he getting his hopes up for?

For a moment, Jin just ate in silence, contemplating thoughts running through his mind.

[ooc: Rofl. Haha. I noticed. Yeah. Feel free to. xD Why 102? Totally don't see the connection. xDD Aside from 1+2=3 which is a nice number. Haha.]

[sixteenxseconds]

Not really getting a proper answer back from Jin, Kame continued eating his food in silence too.

And that was how their dinner went for the evening. Sure, there were attempts for a conversation and sometimes they were succesful, but there was always a silence that followed. A bit awkward, Kame thought. Well, he guessed he should've expected it after such a conversation.

"Now I'm free off my debt, right?" he asked Jin, a small laughter behind his words.

He had just paid for the bill and now they were headed outside towards the jockey who had the keys to Jin's car.

[ooc:Uhm, is this okay? xD LOL. XD You have to think deeper than that~ It's the number of the Akame episode, yo. xD]

[kakusanaide]

"Yeah." he simply chuckled in reply, watching Kame paying for the bill.

The moment he stepped out of the restaurant, Jin took a deep breath, glad that he's finally out into the fresh air. The awkward conversations had somehow turned the whole pleasant restaurant into a place too stuffy for his comfort. Though the food had been anything but something to complain for. As if out of habit, Jin reached for his blazer breast pocket and took out a packet of cigarettes, pulling one out and placed it in between his lips with much ease. At tense times, there's no better cure than a dose of nicotine. It's his choice of dessert most of the times. Lighting the cig with an expensive lighter, Jin took a long drag out of it, savouring the bitter taste on his lips.

"So..." he begun, taking another drag of smoke. "Where to next? Anywhere you want to go?"

[ooc: Haha. THAT's so...hard. xDD My mind works puzzles differently. xDD]

[sixteenxseconds]

Seeing how Jin started smoking Kame felt a sudden need for it too, touching his pockets to feel where he'd put his package of Marlboro but he felt nothing but his wallet and keys. Damn, now that he remembered, he had left it at home in the kitchen.

"At this hour?" he took a quick glance at his watch and read, half past ten. The first place that came to his mind was a club but just as quick as that thought came to his mind he pushed it away. It was probably not a good idea to do today, with Jin. "I don't really mind. Did you want to do something?" he asked, eyeing the cigarette between the other's lips as he took a drag out of it. "Uh, would you mind giving me one? I forgot my package at home."

[ooc: You just fail. 8D And dude. Are your hours still screwed up? It's freakin' late/early over there when you replied. xDD]

[kakusanaide]

Despite him concentrating on the cigarette on his lips, Kame's act beside him didn't go unnoticed and he eyed the other from the corner of his eyes, wondering whether the other was doing what he thought Kame was doing. His suspicion was answered when the other asked him for a cigarette. He just smirked as he extended a hand to offer the pack. "You smoke?" he was surprised, yes, but then again, smoking in the Japanese community had been so common. "I just don't peg you as the type." he finished his smoke pretty quickly and moved to extinguish the cig butt on the ashtray nearby. "Wanna go for a ride?" he asked then, indicating towards his car that the jockey had brought over. "The night's still young."

[ooc: haha. I have a flight to catch in the morning. Though, yeah. I think my hours are still screwed. And man, why are you imitating my speech, yo? XDD]

[sixteenxseconds]

Kame took a cigarette from the package that was being offered to him before litting it up with the lighter resting in the package. He took a long drag of it while shrugging to Jin, a small smirk on his lips as he remembered something. "Like I told you once, there are a lot of things you don't know about me." he said, and continued with his smoke intent on finishing it as soon as possible as he knew they would leave soon. And he wasn't sure whether Jin would like it if he were to smoke in his car.

At the offer he nodded, taking one last, long drag before crushing the cig on the ashtray. "I'm in. Just no dangerous stunts." he said, giving Jin a single fake serious glance before getting in the passenger seat.

[ooc: A flight? Cool. Going on a vacation? :D And that's because... it's actually my speech but you stole it before I even used it. xDD]

[kakusanaide]

Clapping his hands of dust once, Jin accepted the key handed back to him by the jockey and paid him - along with some tip - for the valet service. He scoffed at Kame's statement. "You're a mystery, Kamenashi." he stated, a confident eyebrow raised. "But it's not something I cannot solve."

Walking up towards his car, he took a second to scan, making sure there's no scratch (he could claim insurance if there's any), and then glanced at Kame, smirking. "I can't promise you that, though. Driving is a skill." He slipped into his seat and moved to put on the seat belt. Since his car was the kind that could be ignited without the key, he didn't have to restart anything, instead, just get comfy and he was more than ready to hit the pedal. "You can chicken out if you're scared." A smirk. Challenging.

[ooc: Sorta. xD Hah. Copycat. Admit it, ahjumma. >D]

[sixteenxseconds]

Fastening his seatbelt, Kame gave Jin a single glance, an eyebrow raised. "Me? Scared?" he snorted, a small frown on his face. "No way." He wasn't some scaredy cat. Even if he's afraid of heights, he could still get over his fear and bungeejump if he wanted to (he already did it once when a friend challenged him). "Bring it on." he said as he made himself more comfortable in his seat, giving the restaurant one single glance before settling his gaze on the road in front of them.

[ooc: Psh. You're just a thief. >O]

[kakusanaide]

Jin just smirked at the reply. "Don't worry, I won't drive recklessly. You're in safe hands." With that, he pushed the gear trigger forward and stepped on the pedal, hard. In Tokyo, there's a lot of cars on the street, driving at high speed on normal road would be hard, even at night. But Jin knew where they could go for a long drive. The highway.

At first, he contemplated the plan of hitting a club, but after the previous event that occured the last time they both did, he wasn't sure anymore if that's the right idea. As pleasant as it had been. The drive hadn't been long, they went on a speedway and there wasn't really any dangerous stunts since Jin didn't get to do much anyway. He took a long detour through the highway back to Kame's place, but of course, with some help from the gps computer sytem of his. If he didn't, they could've ended up getting lost until the next morning. Or worse, they might end up somewhere unknown. Such was Jin's skill at getting lost. He parked the car outside of Kame's apartment building, glancing out from his window at the entrance of the lobby. "So..." he begun, but his words were left at that, not knowing what else to say.

[ooc: aisyh. Ahjumma, ahjumma. I'm a pirate, not a thief. :D]

[sixteenxseconds]

Kame waited for the following words after Jin's 'so', but it never came and so he thought of speaking up himself, repeating the "So.." But even he didn't really know what to say else. "I.." he started, glancing at Jin and offered a smile. "The premiere was fun." He shifted a bit in his seat. "And.. I'm glad we got to.. talk things out." The last part was said in a bit of an awkward way since he wouldn't really want to think back about his small outburst in the bathroom. It was, kind of, embarrassing after all. Looking at Jin expectantly, he waited, because he wasn't really sure if he was supposed to step out now or what.

[ooc: What. Pirate? No way. You're not a pirate. D: Cuz.. that's mine. You can be.. a transformer. rofl. xDD]

[kakusanaide]

Jin was about to say something, but he shut his mouth and simply nodded with a smile. He somehow remembered the words his friend had told him about his attitude, and he couldn't help but felt slightly guilty for not treating Kame nicer than what he had given.

"Hey." He called out after a long pause, looking deep into Kame's eyes. "Could we, you know, start over?" He asked very carefully, his hand motioning to both of them. "As friends." The way they were now, it was too awkward. And Jin didn't like it. There wasn't any definition for what they were. Not even acquaintance. Just co-workers, maybe. Nothing else.

[ooc: See? Look who's the thief now? Aisyh, ahjumma. Stick to one, man. I'd like to have a transformer, but I don't want to be one. All those parts will make me stiff. xDD Speaking of which, can I make Jin's car a transformer? 8DDD That'd be so cool.]

[sixteenxseconds]

Kame stayed silent, as if thinking about the question - not that he really needed to contemplate about it. He was just thinking for a bit. The thought to start over sounded tempting, something that definitely was the right decision after all the drama. He just wanted to forget. Most of the things. "That would be nice." he said, returning the deep gaze of Jin for a couple of seconds before breaking it, realizing that this was probably the part where he should start taking his leave. He gave the other a smile and released the seatbelt. "Well, I guess I'll talk to you soon, then." He got out of the car, wishing the other a "Good night, Jin." before closing the door and taking a few steps backwards to watch Jin take off.

Standing in the open air he took a deep breath, releasing it in a satisfied sigh. A fresh start, it definitely felt good. And with that last thought in mind he headed for his apartment complex, a smile dancing on his lips as he thought about how that night had ended unexpectantly well.

[ooc: Psh. Pirates have always been my thing. Simply 'cuz I love Jack Sparrow. Haha, but you'd get to join the deceptions, since you're evil. xDD LOL. That'd be so unrealistically cool. XD

Oh, and it's finished (yay for the lame ending) since we're at the 102nd comment. I was surprised when I checked at my previous reply, because I thought the thread still had around 90 comments. xD Sooo, what now?]

[kakusanaide]

[ooc: What now? Next! My internet's being a problem now that I'm staying at a place where there's no connection. ); I guess we'll have to wait and see for a bit?]
