[ The journey to the station, meeting up with the guy, relocating to their final destination and making the appropriate transaction in a seemingly empty room has all gone successfully enough. There's the unspoken concern for Nazuna's companion but that is a matter to be addressed once they've secured their privacy. He does glimpse up at the other boy as they proceed down the hall though he's soon distracted with searching for the room number that matches with his key card.

Ah.

Nazuna comes to an unannounced halt and blindly reaches behind him to grab at Asahi to prevent him from wandering further. While no apology is offered, he's quick to withdraw his hand to wordlessly focus on working the door open. There's a short click almost immediately and he pushes his weight against the door before the back handle unintentionally knocks against the wall and reveals the room in its full glory. After the light switch is flipped up, that is.

As his shoulders slump forward, Nazuna forces himself to stand properly once more. He peers over to Asahi nd jerks his head in the room's direction, expecting him to go inside first.

What's waiting for them isn't horribly lavish and just barely misses the mark of passing for a standard hotel room. There's a good sized bed at the far end, a television monitor hovering above a dresser, a miniature fridge and a door that presumably leads to a bathroom. But the lack of windows and one wall being partially lined with mirrors serves as a reminder of the room's purpose.

It's all stuff that is going to be investigated further in a second.

A sigh of relief leaves Nazuna when he finally steps inside. The hood of his jacket is pushed off his head when the door is closed. Okay, he can relax for two seconds. Now he squats down to get his shoes off. ]

This is all ours for the next three hours... ♪

Oh, right. Well, then, maybe something else to drink? Or even a snack? Are you sure you're not hungry?

[Fussing host Asahi mode has been reengaged!]

You're really set on feeding me, huh?

[ He snorts. ]

Maybe Asachin's the one that's hungry? [ There's a flash of teeth as he turns his head to look up at the other boy. ] If I agree to eat something will that make you feel better~?

Yes, well-- it's the least I can do after you came all this way just to see me. [He admits honestly, with a tiny frown. Not so much upset as he is concerned.] I won't make you eat if you really don't want to, but..

..I don't know. You just seem like someone who is too polite to say if you're hungry.

[ Nazuna finally pulls himself up on the couch and leans back. ]

We still got a lot to learn about each other... I wouldn't go without food if I thought I was being polite. That's one less thing for you to worry about. ☆

[ For the record! ]

I might not look it but I have a real appetite when I do get hungry. There are times where I have a taste for something different~?

[ Is he making a crude joke? Who's to say? ]

[Well, at least that is reassuring. Asahi hums, and then sort of laughs.]

I know better than to assume you don't have an appetite just because of your, um, size. Some of my teammates are... kind of voracious?

[He sits next to Nito on the couch.]

What do you have a taste for right now?

I said I wasn't hungry~?

[ He glances to the floor. ]

Maybe we shouldn't leave the controllers out. That's kind of a tripping hazard, right?

[ Though maybe it was rude to have Asahi pull them out for one game. So he's going to take it upon himself to return the favor and relocate to the floor to... take care of that. This is what people do on dates, right? ]

Oh, um, but you said-... Nevermind. [Asahi pauses. Frowns. He sat on the couch next to Nito, and then Nito immediately moved to the floor...

This is probably a terrible, terrible date. He probably regrets coming all the way up to Miyagi to see him. Asahi feels awful, and almost wishes she hadn't convinced Nito to come in the first place.

And then his phone vibrates with a new text, and things somehow get worse.]

Oh. My mom says she'll be home in half an hour, so...

[ He carefully gathers up the controllers to return them where Asahi unearthed them only to soon pause. ]

Ah...

[ Meeting the parent isn't part of the agenda but he isn't going to say that. He can't be surprised when the guy did say that she'd be coming home sooner or later. It's just a wonder of how he'd even be introduced. ]

I think I might be hungry, after all.

[Asahi is at least thoughtful enough to look apologetic about the situation, even though it's a pretty normal look for him considering how much he feels like he has to be sorry for.

He licks his lips and nods when Nito suggests an out.]

Okay. We can go out? [Asahi asks, pretty sure this is what the other boy is after. He should never have brought him home in the first place. Suga would shame him for the rest of eternity if he ever was to find out that Asahi's decided to follow up a love hotel tryst by inviting the guy to his house.]

Huh~? I thought Asachin offered a snack before?

[ And now to return to the couch since there's nothing else he can really do. ]

I mean, we don't have to spend money? But I can understand if you don't feel like fixing something up. And it'd be rude of me to invite myself into the kitchen.

T-That's not it. [Asahi says quickly, feeling ashamed and now even more anxious.] I just... when you changed your mind so suddenly, I assumed it was because you want to leave.

[Maybe that was an awful assumption to make, though. Asahi feels totally embarrassed to admit this, but he doesn't know how not to be honest.]

[ This might not be the best time to laugh but that's not going to stop him. ]

Oh, I understand and that makes sense. But, no, I just changed my mind because it felt like a good thing to occupy ourselves with. It'd be a bad look if your mother came home and we just looked outright guilty~!

[Ah, okay. That's a pretty good reason. Even though Asahi doesn't think they have anything to feel guilty about, and knows his mom won't say anything until Nito leaves if she even does have questions. But the idea of keeping busy is still appealing, so he gets up and heads towards the kitchen.]

Okay, then. We have rice crackers and apples for a snack, or I could make something quick. Omurice? Yakisoba?

[ Logic says to follow Asahi and he does just that, hopping off the couch before trailing along. ]

Crackers are fine. Less to clean up, right?

[ No need to make Asahi's life harder. ]

... Maybe next time we can go see a movie.

I don't mind cleaning up, really. [Asahi promises, though he does open a cabinet to take out a package of rice crackers, which then gets poured into a colorful bowl. He places this down on a small, eat-in kitchen table, and then goes to the fridge to get two fruity sports drinks, too.]

Next time? [He repeats, a little baffled.] You still want there to be a next time...?

[ He quickly grabs a cracker from the bowl to shove into his mouth. There's a little delay with answering since he's preoccupied with chewing properly. ]

Mm~? Are you not into the idea?

Not into- of course not! [He says quickly, hoping not to give Nito the wrong idea.] I... really want to keep seeing you. But today feels like it's been kind of a failure, so I thought...

[Asahi trails off, but surely Nito can tell what he's getting at.]

Yep, it sure has been a failure! [ He reaffirms before he helps himself to another cracker. ] But it's not like it's all your fault. Neither of us really had anything planned out.

[Ah. Well. Having it be put so bluntly is... somehow, simultaneously upsetting and relieving. Still, Asahi hangs his head a bit.]

I should have done better, since I was the one who invited you to come all this way. I just... I thought we were going...

[Have sex.]

We were going... ~?

[ He questions though he doesn't push it and actually moves on instead of giving Asahi time to answer. ]

I never been on a date before so I should have tried to look into it a little more. What's done is done so we're going to have to live with this.

[ A hand reaches to lightly nudge at one of the other boy's arms. ]

It could have been much worse, I'm pretty sure?

[Asahi is a bit flustered, though ultimately grateful that Nito doesn't push it. Though the next statement baffles him for a whole new reason.]

You've never been on a date before? [He repeats, sitting at the table opposite Nito with a little frown.] Really? Um... you've never met anyone you wanted to go out with?

Huh? I mean, I guess not?

[ There's a shrug. And he's going to take another cracker, don't mind him. ]

Have you been on a lot of dates or something?

[That's okay. Asahi's going to reach for one, too, only to freeze when Nito asks him such a bizarre question.]

Me? No, not a lot. But, um, one? Once? But I just thought that- you're so attractive, so... [Bright red, Asahi manages to make himself get the words out eventually.] I thought you'd been on lots of dates.

Idols aren't allowed to date, remember? And I'm not like Kaoru-chin so I wouldn't go out my way to break the rules.

[ Though he's done just that.. ]

The way you asked to hang out before made me assume you've dated but I guess I made the incorrect assumption.

Oh right... [Asahi mumbles; somehow, he'd forgotten that rule.] You're, um. Not going to get in trouble if your teachers or whoever find out you're here, right?

[Then again, they could just lie and say they were cousins, or something. Really, really distant cousins.]

I guess I've just watched a lot of dramas..?
