Food, Glorious Food~ [completed]

[onmyouji-subaru.livejournal.com]

Character(s): Subaru, Belle and anyone else.
Content: Subaru and Belle proceeds to get food.
Setting: Porfavore's (I5)
Time: Late afternoon; Week 2
Warnings: None yet~


The delicious smell wafting from inside the small building that is Porfavore's does not help Subaru's hunger at all. The place seemed very inviting, the wooden plank with 'Porfavore's' painted on it messily and the occasional roar of laughter errupting from inside the place adds to the welcoming atmosphere of the restaurant. Subaru lets himself smile a little as he is reminded of Hokuto's deafening laughter. He can hear Hokuto laughing from behind him, and then scoffing and telling him he should appreciate her shopping trips more and wear the clothes she bought him.

He shakes his head with a smile, trying to wave the apparition away. Even though the place makes him remember Hokuto, it is Hokuto's smile that he remembers, and so he is in a very amiable mood. He is glad that Belle had chosen this place. He loves the human way the sign had been painted. He loves the mixed smell of many kinds of food being cooked and the deafening laughter that one will only ever share with one's close friends. Well, except for people like Hokuto, he muses. She laughs like that to anyone anywhere. He loves her for that anyway.

Subaru says no word to Belle, nodding at her and walking towards the door instead. He does this still with a slight glimmer in his eyes, however, and maybe there is a tinge of emerald in those grey eyes of his.

There was a library! She really would have to learn how to use this journal thing, it looked like it had a lot of information in it. She wasn’t sure if she should stay with him longer, or just go to the library. It was her excuse to let him go on his way. Surely he didn’t want her to follow him forever. But not many people liked to be alone. So he might have wanted her to walk with him until he met his friend.

She hadn’t expected an answer to her last question right away. It wasn’t the type of question you could spit out a random answer to. If you answered it honestly anyhow. As she waited for the answer she also watched the people walking about. She thought once again how odd it was that they all looked alike. Other than that they seemed normal enough.

When Subaru started talking, Belle looked at him, growing more and more interested as he went on. What an interesting story he had! She had never met anyone that had to fill a prophecy before. Sure, she herself had been meant to help the Beast and fall in love with him but that was different. And no one told her she was meant to do that. But this was different. Her eyes widened a bit when he said he was meant to save the world. She hoped he made it back in enough time. She didn’t want the world to end while she was missing. That sounded a bit selfish, she thought. But she wanted to be with the love of her life. She looked Subaru over and she decided that Subaru could do it. All the books she read did point to unlikely people saving the world.

“I won’t tell anyone” She says very seriously. She wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize him saving the world. “But why would someone want to kill you?” She paused “You don’t really have to answer that...it’s just very interesting.”

The onmyouji chuckles, rather bitterly even though he tries not to sound too cynical. Subaru does not want Belle to dislike him, not really. "It's not because it's a secret," he throws Belle a small smile, "I don't want you to worry." He can just imagine Hokuto bonking his head and rambling about how she would worry anyway, now that he has told her. "But you'll worry anyway, because you're that kind of person," he finds it ironic that someone else had said the same thing to him once, too.

"Sei-san wanted to kill me because I saw him murder someone when I was six," he explains, absently running his finger on the rim of his glass of water. "I escaped him nine years ago," with this he looks darkly to the rippling water in his glass, "before he left, he... he looked at me in this mocking way." Subaru waits for a few moment before uttering the last few words, "as if I'm not worth killing." Subaru realizes that he left out the story about how his sister tried to save him, and maybe he should tell her that too. But he has told her way too much, now Belle is going to worry over him and it would be Subaru's fault that Belle is not smiling. He lets the silence linger, afraid that breaking it would somehow make Belle despise him.

He looks up from his glass of water and throws a fake smile at Belle, "that was nine years ago, don't worry." He clears his throat nervously, "So... tell me your story." Subaru hopes that Belle will forget his story and move on with hers. Perhaps her story is a happy one, which would be wonderful.
