[ having decided that meeting anthony half-way would be best for this particular... conversation, he walks a bit slowly, quite aware that his dorm was closer to the school than his friend-slash-goalie's house. (that and he would probably have to struggle with his mode of transportation for a while.) so instead of the usual ten minutes it takes him to arrive to this particular destination, he gives himself thirty, casually making his way to one of the benches underneath a tree.

takes a seat, pulls out his cellphone, then begins to check his messages as he waits; it would be at least another fifteen minute wait, one he was finally willing to be patient for. after all, he wasn't expecting much, anyway. when it came to feelings, expectations were the worst things to have, or so he had logically deducted throughout his childhood. besides, it wouldn't be the end of the world if anything negative happened. this was anthony, after all, the boy who clucked and bawked louder than he spoke or made any semblance of sense with his words.

... it almost made him second-guess himself. almost.

pockets his phone and tilts his head backwards instead, letting it rest against the top of the bench. just simply stares up into the branches and leaves of the tree, allowing himself to show a rare display of being lost in some non-thoughts for the time being. ]

I am certain that I will live. Get whatever you wish.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

You'll try it?

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

Of course. I have resolved to try new things while in this relationship. [ a small pause. ] Though I cannot promise you that I will enjoy everything, specifically in the food department.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

I know. Important part's the. . . [ hand gesture. ] Trying.

[ short pause. ] Me too.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

If anything, it will make us better people. Become more well-rounded. [ gestures at the ice cream choices. ] Choose your poison.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ quirks a small (quick) smile at him & then turns to inspect the choices.

... in the end, just closes his eyes & points randomly, landing on -- cookie dough? shrugs. ]

'Kay. That one.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ nods, quickly making their order (vanilla frozen yogurt in a cup for him) before removing his hand from anthony's to hand over the necessary amount of money from his wallet.

when they're finally given their food he leads them back outside. ]

Shall we sit or continue our walk?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ accepts the ice cream without any complaint & trails on after him outside. ]

Let's walk. Burn off calories. [ offers his ice cream for michael to make the first bite. ] I wanna buy next time.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

That's a perfectly acceptable demand. [ leans over to take a bite. ... chews. chews some more... ... ... eventually swallows. ] ... not too terrible.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ stares. ]

. . . Teeth of steel.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

[ wipes his mouth off with one of the napkins he snagged. as they begin their trek again: ]

Pardon?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

You chewed ice cream.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

It was chewy. What else was I supposed to do.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

Let it melt. Taste it. Swallow.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

I believe I did just fine without those instructions.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

Fine, but not perfect.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

Just eat your ice cream, Anthony.

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ puffs out his cheeks, but surprisingly does as is told. ]

How's the yogurt?

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

Quite delicious, thank you for asking. [ scoops some up with his spoon, raising it to anthony's mouth. ] Would you like to taste some as well?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ blinks in surprise, then leans forward to nom the bite down. swallows. ]

. . . Better than I thought.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

It is better for you, but lacks any overly extravagant flavors. [ takes a spoonful for himself. ] Have you ever tried gelato before?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It has its superior moments.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

Swedish Glace?

[cutemajor.livejournal.com]

[ ... ]

I need a phone with google on it.

[yaysoccer.livejournal.com]

It is a dairy-free Swedish frozen dessert.
