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.

Belle nodded. “Love is amazing.” She agreed, completely missing any other meaning his words may have had. She continued eating, still trying to think of what to compare the food to. Belle couldn’t be sure if Subaru believed her or not, but she didn’t much care. She was happy to tell her story to anyone.

Belle looked out the window watching the blonde haired people walk by. She wondered if they were happy here. Some of them had smiles, but it looked to Belle that they could have been acting. None of them seemed to be quite as friendly as the folk back home. Belle looked back at Subaru and smiled. “Are you enjoying the food?”

Subaru is unsure of whether he believes Belle's story or not. It certainly is hard to take in; it is much like those bedtime stories that Hokuto liked so much. And yet, it feels as if he has been living in a dream-like state these past ten years anyway. The smell of cherry blossom is still all around him and it makes everything go behind a hazy veil. It is getting harder to tell real from false lately, but Subaru does not care much about that, really. He supposes that believing in a story like the one Belle just told him would be a good thing, she seems happy about telling it at least.

"Yes, very much so," he does not smile as he answers Belle's question, but his eyes are not as grave as they usually are. He enjoyed the food, he has been living off of instant noodles and nicotine lately, the taste of real food is heavenly. Subaru has finished his food even though he did try not to eat too quickly lest he appear rude, but he makes a show of nudging the bits of food around slightly so that Belle would not feel rushed. He left a message on Yuzuriha's journal that he will join them later, so he has no real need to hurry. "You will meet him again," Subaru is unsure of whether that is a prophecy or just something to make Belle feel better himself.
