love is a laserquest

The massive animal had slowly crept closer, it's impossibly long legs swinging out in front of it as it tottled along. From this distance, Ty could see the distinct pattern in the animal's coat, tiny cloven hooves supporting the awkward thing. It barely had a body to speak of. Ty figured that it must be at least 90% neck. On top of it's neck, a teeny head that lowered, eventually coming down to peer at the pair. It had beautiful eyes, at least. Framed by long, dark eyelashes. It really did look like it was wearing makeup, and was ... Strangely pretty.
A faint half-smile appeared at Levi's comment, and disappeared just as quickly as it came with the next. Smacking the back of Levi's head, Ty hissed. "Not like that, you creep. I bet you would like that, though. I'm sure you've had worse."

He should have expected the boy to make a weird sexual comment out of that, though his irritation dissipated as the giraffe made a noise, growing bored with the pair when it didn't offer it food. "Look, you scared it off. The elephants should be close by, though." Taking back out his little paper map, Ty hunted for the giraffe enclosure. Sticking his finger on it, he examined the surrounding exhibits. "Oh. Elephants are just a few paces up that way. After the elephants, do you want to find food?"

"I don't know, I think you'd like it more than the giraffe would. " In some small way, he was a bit irritated that Levi had confirmed that he had worse. Something like jealousy had blossomed in the pit of his stomach, giving him an uncomfortable sickly feeling. He didn't like that Levi had slept with so many people, even though he knew that was what Levi's entire existence was centred around. "I'm not watching you do that, I bet you'd like that though. You want me to watch you fuck a giraffe, no wonder it ran away from you." Huffing, Ty started after Levi, stopping when he did.

"Yeah, okay. We'll get food at this place here, and then we'll go see the elephants. The petting zoo is supposed to be nearby the restaurant here, too. Maybe we can stop there after lunch." Catching back up to his roommate, Ty raised his eyebrows only slightly at the boy's bouncing. He looked more like a child than a grown man, though Tyberius supposed that was all Levi was.
Sliding his arm around Levi's shoulders, he petted the place he had smacked earlier, his only version of an apology. "Do you know what you want to eat? Maybe they'll have sweets, too ..."

Raking back his messy hair, Ty supposed it was almost time for a haircut. Soon, he would look a little bit like a lion. If he wasn't careful, he might be mistaken for a zoo animal and get locked up with his kin.
Petting Levi absently, Ty was grateful for his presence. He smelled good and was warm. Hopefully this whole adventure would be over soon so they could get back home to bed. "They probably do have french fries. Do you know what else you want? French fries aren't a meal, you're going to have to eat more."

The little restaurant came into view, and a big happy sign announcing the petting zoo was right beside it. An arrow pointed to a little footpath, where a large corral of animals waited in the distance. Herding Levi into the building before he could dart off to the animals, Tyberius blinked at the very animal-centric decor. A large plastic zebra with a flat back functioned as something of a hostess stand, and in it's mouth it held menus, kid's menus, and crayons. "Do you want a kid's menu? You can colour on it and take it home." Tyberius had gotten used to babying his roommate by now, and had begun to think of him as more or less a child to take care of.

"No, you'll eat a proper meal, and thats the end of it." Scolding him on his eating habits, Ty didn't mind the constant snacking, because he had a habit of doing that himself. However, a steady diet of unhealthy foods, Ty couldn't agree to. Asking the hostess for a regular menu and a children's menu, she complied with little more than a funny face at the pair. Led to a small booth in the corner, Ty situated himself before taking out a pair of dark, thick framed reading glasses. Tiny little sparkling jewels were stuck haphazardly onto the sides, looking an awful lot like he had tried to dress them up himself. He just couldn't help his obsession with sparkling things.

His eyes scanning down the menu, they offered pretty standard fare. Their new lunch special was some kind of soup in a bread basket, and his nose twitched, curious as to how they got the bread to hold soup. Deciding to order whatever that was, his eyes moved from the page up to Levi, looking quite austere with his glasses perched on his nose like that. "Did you even look at the menu, or are you set on chicken nuggets and fries?" Tyberius was at least thankful that he had wanted something more substantial than just french fries. He didn't want to threaten the poor boy with no sweets.

His meal decided, Ty quickly shoved his prized glasses back into his pocket, tucking them back among the other various objects he kept hidden in there. He squinted up at Levi, almost daring him to make another comment about not wanting proper food. Disappointed with a lack of, Ty sighed faintly. "You can have a small cup. Small." There was only so far he was willing to parent Levi, and he had not intended to sign up for this upon recieving notice he was to get a roommate. If Levi went off the walls and passed out in the middle of the zoo, well, at least he could bundle him in his jacket to get home safe enough.

The perkiest waitress he had ever encountered appeared at the side of their table, and prettily asked what they would be having. Relinquishing the menus, Tyberius ordered for the both of them, getting a small glass of sweet tea to accompany his bread and soup. Her overwhelmingly sunny personality gone, Ty shrunk back a little in his seat. "She's... Too happy... Why are waitresses all so happy?" Ty shivered a bit, knowing very well that he sounded like a 13 year old emo child discovering "themselves" for the first time, but she really was too happy. "How fast do you think they can make it? It's not like our food is too complicated to make..." Anxious for the delivery of food, now that he was sat and anticipating, he finally noticed just how hungry he was. "We should have brought snacks."
