[ hits send on the text message to alyssa -- that he's coming to visit for a short while -- before he starts up his scooter & steers himself in the direction of nathan's apartment. his backpack is holding only one thing, but it's precious enough of a bundle that he wears the backpack against his stomach. ignores the looks he's getting both on & off the street, parking tinkerbell in her usual corner spot. it's been almost two weeks since he's saw her (two weeks to recover), which is why he'd armed himself with a present in apology.

stands in front of the door to the stairs for a moment, wondering if he's feeling up to the physical exertion today-- then just changes direction to walk in the direction of the elevator. glances up at the ceiling of it when he's on board & pressed the proper number, feeling a little nervous for no reasons he could consciously finger. decides to shrug it off the best he can when he shuffles off it, rummaging around his backpack to take out the wrapped present before something (someone?) in front of a door catches his eye.

... stops. blinks. ]

. . . ? [ belatedly realizes that the boy is front of the door he needs to reach, making him pause, blink & speak: ] . . . Hi.

[ almost misses that question as he's too busy looking around, quite interested in the location. takes out his cellphone when he briefly hears the comment, typing: ]

「 Go back? 」

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

The apartment. Nathan.

[pokerobo.livejournal.com]

「 He's in Rome. 」

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ stops when they get across, only managing the following: ]

. . . Oh.

[pokerobo.livejournal.com]

[ nods. puffs up a little bit, typing: ]

「 I can camp. 」

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ shakes his head. ]

You'll get Nathan arrested.

[pokerobo.livejournal.com]

[ thinks of another option quickly. ]

「 The park. 」

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

Parks aren't safe in this country.

[ sighs, feeling a little tired. ]

Does your cousin live with anyone?

[pokerobo.livejournal.com]

[ tilts his head a little bit at that sigh. lets go of his hand. ]

「 Are you tired of me? 」

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ blinks, looking genuinely confused. ]

Tired of you?

[pokerobo.livejournal.com]

[ nods. ]

「 Adults get tired of kids easily. 」 [ pauses. types: ] 「 I'm okay, I don't need an adult. 」

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ shrugs & reaches for a hand again. ]

Good. We kids can stick together then.

[pokerobo.livejournal.com]

[ looks at his hand. back up at anthony. ]

「 But you're an adult. 」

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

I still have my pass to Neverland.

[ wonders if he should say many things that he's thinking, deciding against it when he realizes that he doesn't have the capacity to translate it all. just reaches to take anthony's hand again before pocketing his phone. ]

[ puffs out his cheeks in silent victory (over his status as 'still a kid'), looking rather pleased as he tugs them forward again toward the cafe. ]

I like the cookies here.

[pokerobo.livejournal.com]

[ doesn't say anything to that as he's too busy peeking at it with interest. takes out his cellphone again, clutching it a little bit in case he wants to take a photo of something. ]

[ leads them inside soon enough, glancing around the small shop for an open table. finds one by the window & leads them there for now. ]

Hot water should be free. I think.

[pokerobo.livejournal.com]

[ shakes his head as he slides onto a chair. places his backpack on the table to find his wallet-slash-coinbag (http://i55.tinypic.com/cj9uf.jpg). holds it up to anthony in silence, as if telling him that he has money. ]

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ & of course, he's not focusing on the intent behind the motion, his face busily going bright red as he recognizes the shape of the wallet. ]

H-H-HARO. . . !!

[pokerobo.livejournal.com]

... ?

[ puts it into one of his hands carefully, assuming that he wants to look at it. ]

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ stares down at it when it's put into his hands, face going even more red. starts shaking a bit. ]

H-Haro--! It's. . . really. . .

[ looks over at his backpack in brief thought. sits up straight to dig through it again. opens a plastic bag to take out another one, only it's pink (http://i51.tinypic.com/28injhw.jpg) this time. takes his green one back before he places the pink one into anthony's hand. ]
