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.

“I’ll try that too.” Belle smiled at him. “It has to be good, or it wouldn’t be a special” She reasoned, more for her own benefit than his. She could tell he had been very hungry so she didn’t want to take too long in ordering. Besides, if he was getting it then he didn’t mind the price.

“Yes, I’m ready.” She responded. She closed her menu to show that she really was ready. When the waitress came over, they put in their orders. Belle decided to get water, because that was the safest thing she could get. She knew she’d like that. She looked around at the various pictures on the wall.

“It’s interesting in here” She comments. She was never really good at small talk, but she hoped it might help him take his mind off of his hunger and whatever else was bothering him. “I wonder if there’s a library nearby. There has to be one here somewhere.” There she was talking about books again. So she changed the subject. “Do you think there's a reason we’re in this Paixao place?” It was something to talk about, not to mention something they definitely had in common. They were both there, and quite randomly.

Subaru gives her a small smile and a nod in reply to her reasoning. He notices that Belle probably chose the same thing as he did because she does not want to take too long. He tends to notice things about other people, even though he finds it so hard to notice things about himself. Subaru appreciates Belle's gesture a lot. "Water for me too, thanks," he tells the waitress, sparing her only a glance.

"There is a library here," he says in reply, not really minding Belle's affinity for books. Subaru likes listening to people's stories anyway, it makes him feel helpful, and Belle is an interesting person too. "I can drop you off there if you don't want to go with me to Yuzuriha," he offers, although he rather hopes Belle would stay around. Walking alone is not very nice. Subaru does not answer her last question immediately, looking out at the blonde blue-eyed people of Paixao going about their business while thinking of an answer.

"Maybe there is," he starts. Subaru hesitates, tracing the star-shaped scar on his left hand with one finger. "I was supposed to come to Tokyo to fulfill a prophecy... but you'd probably think I'm imagining things," he lets out a dry chuckle, musing on how he has been imagining things, lots of things. "Yuzuriha and I were going to go to Tokyo in the year of 1999 to prevent the world from ending," he explains, "Suppose some people brought us here so the world will end." Subaru looks away, not brave enough to meet Belle's eyes as he utters the next few words, "but I don't care about the world anyway."

Waving away his explanation with a flick of his wrist, he drags one glass of water closer to him when the waitress placed two on their table. "I still want to go to Tokyo though," he tells her, still avoiding her gaze as he is afraid she might lash out at him for his apathy regarding the world. "There is someone who marked me as his next victim to be killed," he shows her the star-shaped scars on the back of his hands, "He and I have unfinished business." Subaru smirks almost coldly, trying too hard to mimick his sister's murderer. "You can pretend you didn't hear anything from me though," his smile is almost sad now, "I told you too much."
