[event] prince charming take my misery away

Deith was, meanwhile, wearing an icy, minty cool-water scented perfume that was strong enough for everyone around him to notice, but not too much as to hurt the nose. No, his scent was perfect and on his way to his meeting place with Lei, he even managed to attract lots of pairs of eyes.

Aside from his wonderful perfume, he was also gorgeous tonight. His bangs have gotten longer, and he hasn't really had his hair cut yet, but he let his bangs down on both sides and not clipped behind the ear. Half of his hair was tied to a really short ponytail at the back of his head. He was wearing a low v-neck t-shirt, gray, and a lose black cardigan with sleeves rolled up to the elbows. White jeans, and a pair of casual leather shoes. His wristwatch accented his left wrist, and he constantly let it be seen whenever he looked at it for the time.

And then he stopped, because he could see the gorgeous Lei and was stunned for a moment. But he shook his head and breathed heavily, before coming to him from the side with a surprise kiss on the temple.

"Hey," he greeted, a wide yet gentle smile on his face. He was carrying a big red shopping bag, locked by a white ribbon, and he showed it to Lei immediately. Inside was a white torso-sized teddy bear he picked up before coming here. He never really got a teddy bear for Lei, and he figured he probably should after recalling their first date that went... a different direction. "I bought this for you."

Unlike Lei, he wasn't nervous. Even though this was already the third date, he didn't think of the things that could happen later tonight; he'll just enjoy downtown and hopefully keep Lei happy the whole time.

...Relief washed all over Deith when Lei accepted the gift, and liked it. He didn't want to mess up tonight; he didn't want things to end up happening differently from how he'd want them to. So far so good.

A soft chuckle escaped his lips as he accepted Lei into a warm embrace. He still couldn't believe it, he still felt like all these perfect things with Lei were just a dream, because he's never felt so liked before. He's never had anyone who jumped to him to give him a kiss. He'd had a perfect lover before, but Haku was taken away from him by death even before they reached an opportunity to be this sweet with one another.

"Of course I'm showing you around," he replied, letting go. He's been to music festivals before, walking around alone just to indulge in music. It didn't matter that he was by himself, but it did matter very much that he was with someone special this year.

He held Lei's free hand and pulled him into mixing with the crowds and stalls and the music.

"We could visit all kinds of stalls, Lei. Wanna grab some food? We can eat them while walking around."

Seemingly gentle green eyes scanned the surrounding areas for stalls which would have what Lei wanted. Deith wouldn't miss the different performances around them, either. The disturbing metal music was too noisy to his taste, and wondering if Lei felt the same, he glanced at him curiously, only to see that he was disturbed too.

Deith let Lei's hand go so he can wrap his arm around Lei's shoulders, and he'd pull him closer, caging him just slightly and protectively, as his hand briefly went to Lei's head to pat him.

"Quite the cravings you have there." Deith smirked. That wasn't something he usually saw from Lei-- that attitude and way of speaking, that is-- and it was a pretty interesting thing to find out. He and Lei were still getting to know each other, after all; no matter what though, Deith knew he was never going to let Lei go ever. The young sweetheart was too precious to be let go of.

After that, he looked around again. There was the scent of sweet donuts somewhere close, which Deith followed immediately. Few minutes later, they'd find themselves in front of a stall that did sell all kinds of donuts. Deith bought a few of what Lei wanted, paid for it, and carried the bag of donuts in one hand. He didn't know if Lei wanted to keep holding hands or something, but he offered again anyway.

"Donut's here, Lei. Also, it wouldn't hurt to get more of what you wanted, don't you think so?" He smiled. After that, they would start walking away, with Deith leading Lei away from the noisy hard music. They'd approach an area with softer ones, with gentle lights and less noisy people. There was a stage that was putting on an illusion show, with a giant gold fish swimming in the air up high, surrounded by bubbles, giving an impression that it was still in the water.

"That one's adorable," Deith commented on it. He was caught by the performance mostly because it was using illusion tricks, which he found interesting. He could totally make much better illusions though. Maybe he could put on his own show for Lei again some time. He still felt so happy whenever he recalled that moment when he made it seem to snow around them, and Lei's reaction was still the best ever.

Suddenly, Deith's arm was caged inside Lei's, and the feeling of being looked at tickled his skin, urging him to return the look into his date's blues. They remind him so much of why he found and liked Lei in the first place, even though for now, he's decided to let go of that reason. He hasn't been wearing his choker necklace after all. He hasn't, since their first date.

A kiss made its way to Lei's forehead. Deith wanted to do something much more than that, but he didn't want Lei to think that he was rash and impatient. Even though usually, he'd just succumb to his wants. "I can always do better, especially if you want me to."

Time to move on, though. Since they've pretty much established that the giant goldfish show wasn't worth too much of their time. Deith had wriggled out of Lei's arm, but only so he can pull him closer by the waist. Lei was his date tonight, and he wanted everyone to see that.

Beginning to walk, Deith looked around for more interesting stalls. He also figured Lei would need a drink while or after eating those donuts, so they briefly dropped by a stall to buy some. Then he'd let Lei choose.

"Want some drink? I think I'll just settle with iced coffee."

This music wasn't the best, but it was rather funny. Every time Deith heard a line that just sounded like a damaged record that kept repeating, he'd simply grin or smirk, while internally laughing at the ridiculous tune. "It's that weird to you, huh?" he laughed, before giving the stall's menu a closer look.

They had a wide range of cold drinks, milkshakes and milk tea and chocolate and coffee the like, but Deith frowned. They didn't have what Lei was asking for.

"They have frappes, but no raspberry. Everything Nice is a pretty awesome and unique place so. Not really expecting others to have what they have." He's gone there before. At least once. Cafés were important places to him, and it would affect his ego if he hasn't gone to one in the island that was already up. He'd drop by at least.

He was a little troubled, until he felt the nudge on his arm. "Hm?" he turned to Lei. He shouldn't be frowning in front of his date, so he put on a smile as quick as he could. "You think so, dear?" Lei's grin was so adorable, he couldn't help but be infected by it. "It's probably fun to work there, but I have an entirely different job and I'm... His eyes trailed away, as he searched for the right word, and then they quickly found their way back to Lei anyway. "...dedicated." That was the first time he said that. He pointed back to the stall's list of drinks afterwards. "Uh, so are you okay with plain mocha? Or do you want to try other places?"
