That Awkward Moment...

Alright. It's ok. It's gonna be a normal, two on two meet-up type thing. Nothing else. Don't try to make things awkward. Try to be normal, and try to be collected. Kataro thought to himself. He was trying to calm himself down. It had been a week after the incident at the springs, and he was ready to hang out with Spencer. He had on a pair of black slacks and a white button up shirt. There was black suspenders on his shoulders, connecting to his pants. He even had his reading glasses on. What am wearing! I look like the nutty professor!!! He thought to himself. He was nervous. I really need to change! He's probably not as formal as I am! Oh crud... What am I gonna do. I'm already here. I can't go home... I guess I'll just pray that he's wearing a tux... He thought as he walked into the Chupa Cabra's. He looked around, trying to see if Spencer was there it if he hasn't arrived yet. He was still at the door.

Spencer felt as awkward as ever. He'd looked almost as if it was his first day on the job. His hair was over-gelled and stuck in a short faux hawk on his head and he had a white, plaid flannel on that was buttoned up and tucked in, and a pair of light brown khakis. He'd made himself comfortable with a beer at a table and had ordered a second one that had been sitting at the chair across from him.

Oh man. This is going to be so different. I already look a lot different. A geek more or less. Hopefully I'm not the only one that looks like this. And.....it's unbelievable that we went through with this even though we both enjoy the relationship. It'd never been brought up before, and lighted not that long ago.

Swallowing, he takes another large sip of the alcohol and puts it back on the table; running the tip of his finger around the rim of the glass.

Kataro spotted Spencer at the table. He looked really nice, plus he didn't feel as awkward anymore. He let out a small sigh of relief and walked towards the table. Alright... He looks so nice. I'm glad I dressed up now. But... I still look stupid! He thought to himself. He reached table and sat across from Spencer with a smile on his face. "Hey Spencer. You look really nice." He said with a smile, then instantly took a sip of the alcohol in front of him.

Spencer looked over at Kataro who had sat down across from him. At least he was dressed nicely as well. He knew that he himself only ever wore loose things. Now he looked like the first thing your think of when you thought, 'nerd'. Oh well. That was the least of his worries. He had stuff going on at the moment.

"Th-thank you. I was fumbling to find some nice to wear today. I had to practically tear my apartment to pieces looking for this outfit.""

Smiling, he sits up in his seat and leans forward while looking down at the reflection of his finger tracing the glasses' rim. This was a little off for him, but he wasn't minding it much. Even if he had seen some people give him strange looks.

Kataro let out a sigh with a smile in his face. He looked around and rubbed his hands on his thigh. "So...! How have things been over the past few days...?" He asked, trying to start to a conversation. Good. A conversation. It's not awkward, and it could get us going somewhere He thought to himself. Kataro was pretty relaxed, surprisingly. He was already enjoying himself. Just looking at Spencer was good enough for him.

Spencer took another sip of his beer then sighed of relief and looked at Kataro. So far it wasn't too bad so far. An easy conversation. That was good news. At least this wouldn't turn awkward in such a public area.

"I've been doing fine. The car needed to be fixed. That's about it.....what about you?"

"Well... Nothing much. I've been working on my arm... And I've been swamped with work with the DWMA... Other than that. Not much." He said with a sigh as he glanced at the people at the bar and other tables. He looked back up at Spencer and took another sip of his drink. "So..." He said awkwardly. Shoot! I probably just made things weirder...

Spencer finished the last sip of his drink and called for another. He had to say....the drink was good considering the brand. But what did that matter? Of course he'd probably go back and buy the same pack again.

Reminding himself that he had to ignore the people staring was a bit overwhelming. Some of them were whispering; which he found stupid and inexcusable. People were people. He couldn't deny that. But holding the peace was his only goal right now.

"The DWMA? I forgot you'd worked there. It's been a while since you talked about it."

After a few moments of silence, he began glancing from the floor and around the bar while rubbing his own arm from the sudden silence. What am I going to say?! I've completely run out of ideas!

"So uh....."

Kataro let out a smile. "I brought you something." He said as he dug into his pocket. He pulled out a string bracelet that had the white side of the ying yang symbol on it. "I saw it at the store when I was deciding what I should get y-... I mean. When I was looking around and I decide to get it for you." He said as his face started to turn red. He raised up his arm which revealed the other side of the ying yang sign on it. "It's a matching set..." He said as he blushed even more.

Spencer turned bright red the second he heard why Kataro had bought it. He'd never received a gift like this before, and accepted it kindly. The smile on his face had grown a bit and he tried to keep from blushing too hard.

"Th-th-thank you."

Kataro twiggled his fingers together as he pulled them away. He had no idea what to say anymore. Why?! Why do all of these conversations end up like this... And I REALLY need to ask him a question,but that'll make it even worse. I didn't think I'd resort to this but... Kataro ever so slowly reached into his front shirt pocket and.... Pulled out a cigarette. He lit it and put it in his mouth trying not to make eye contact with Spencer. He was still blushing too.

Spencer saw Kataro pull the cigarette out and light it. Since when did Kataro smoke?! He tried to hide the shocked expression on his face and took another drink of his beer. Then he started drawing lines in the sweat of the bottle before it hit him. He'd never gotten Kataro anything. Shitshitshitshitshit. Whaddo I do?!

Fumbling with his thumbs, he sinks into his chair and glances from Kataro to the floor and the ceiling then down at his hands. His face was red. What am I going to do?! He's going to think I'm a selfish bastard!

Kataro could tell Spencer was pretty darn surprised. Who wouldn't be though. He let out a small sigh and smoke streamed out of his mouth. "I'm guessing me smoking is somewhat of a shock to you..." He said with a shrug. "I usually don't smoke at all. I started when I was seventeen, then my girlfriend said I should stop... So I did. Ever since then I haven smoked, until three days ago. I don't smoke often... At all... Like maybe once a month..." He said as his eyes turned to his drink. A waitress walked over to the table wearing a not-so appropriate outfit. "Can I get you boys anything?" She squeaked happily. Kataro shook his head no and turned to Spencer for his answer.

OOC: OMYGOSH YOU'RE ALIVE!!!! THANK GOODNESS! I WAS WORRIED. I THOUGHT A TORNADO HAD GOT YOU OR SOMETHING!!!

Spencer swallows harshly then nods with a smile. He didn't know what to say, and didn't know what to do. Hopefully he didn't think anything of it and changed the subject to something off topic. Then when he noticed the woman approach the table, he sat back up.

"Actually, I could use something to eat. What about you?"

Looking back at Kataro, he smiles warmly.

"I'll pay."

OOC: XD Sorry! I've been busy is all.

Kataro thought about for a short moment. "Uuuhh.... Yeah. I'll take a.... Just some type of fruity mixed lemonade." He said as he nodded and looked at Spencer. Even though Spencer said he'd pay, he planned on paying anyway. He had a question ringing in the back of his head. But he was too scared to ask if. He was worried it would make things even more awkward. But he decided to ask it anyway. "So... Are we... An official couple?" He asked as he blushed and his eyes went into Spencer's.

Spencer smiled at the woman as she walked away with their orders. It'd changed the situation for about half a second before Kataro spoke again. The question wasn't shocking to him though. It was something that should be cleared up before anything else happens between the two of them.

"O-O-oh. I could say so. Why wouldn't we be?"

As he finished his own question, he pressed the beer bottle to his lips again and tried to finish the rest of what was left in it. He hadn't had so much to drink in a while, and it was hitting him again like a brick wall.

Kataro let out a small smirk of relief. He just HAD to make sure before he decided to take this any further. Which he had intended on doing, hopefully. He let out sigh as more smoke blew out of his mouth. Then he took a sip of alcohol. Funny... I vowed to never drink and smoke at the same time... He thought to himself. He looked at the cigarette in his hand and simply set it on the table. "So. What do you wanna do? We're at a club. There's ladies here. I dunno." He said as he looked around.

Spencer motioned the bartender for another drink and slightly slumped in his seat. Three beers weren't bad. Were they? Eh. Oh well. He'd probably end up drinking a few more before actually vomiting or passing out.

"I dunno. I only ever actually come here to get a quick drink and leave. I've never found much of anything to do here."

He had to admit, the women's 'proud' parents probably aren't very happy with what some of them are wearing. Many of them were wearing things almost too revealing. But then again, it was the right time and place for it.....right?

Kataro shrugged. "Same here. I've only.... Interacted with the women here once or twice. Other than that, I just come for a drink." He said as he looked around at the ladies. He didn't really know what to do. There wasn't much but two things at a club: Drink and throw birthday parties. He looked at Spencer once again. "Lets go to my place." He said with a shrug

Spencer looked around once more and grabbed his drink. Might as well leave. They were just sitting here now just finding something to say or do. Spencer knew he couldn't drive though. He'd already started on his third drink and had started feeling slight tipsy.

"Yeah. You'll probably have to drive though. I left my car parked out front."

When he saw the lady walk past them again, he stopped her and asked for the bill. While waiting, he fumbled through his pocket to get his wallet.

Kataro stood up and stretched his arms. He walked over to Spencer and the lady. He looked at the bill, it wasn't that much, they only had some liquor. He pulled out a thirty dollar bill (yes. I said thirty dollar bill. XD) and handed it to the lady.

OOC; I hope you don't mind me time skipping here.

Kataro and Spencer arrived at Kataro's place. He stepped out of the car and tapped the hood. "This things has quite an engine in it." He said with a smirk as he headed up to his door and unlocked it. "I've never been a big fan of muscle cars though."

Spencer looked down at the hood of the car and smirked. He'd remembered how long it's taken to get the car like he had it. Speeding was the issue. He'd been pulled over more than once for it.

"Can't go wrong with muscle cars."

Following Kataro in, he finishes the last of his beer and puts it in the trash. Afterwards, he goes to sit on the couch and looks around. The room was nice. Better than his own at least.

Kataro went into his room and changed his clothes. He came out wearing a pair of sweatpants, and a black and red striped t-shirt. He went into the kitchen, walking on his tip toes so his feet wouldn't get cold. He went into the freezer and put some chicken nuggets into the oven. Aaaah... Yes. Chicken nuggets. The birthplace of happiness. He thought to himself. "Do you want some cookies or ice cream or something?" Kataro asked Spencer as he went through the cabinets.

Spencer relaxed on the couch and watched Kataro dig through the cabinets. He wasn't all that hungry considering the meal he'd eaten. His throat also vaguely burned from the alcohol.

"Nah. I'm full. The steak was larger than I thought it would be."

Grunting, he throws his arms across his stomach and realizes how full he actually was. He had to continuously take deep breaths thinking it opened room in his stomach. Then after stretching, he puts his hands behind his head and tries to ignore the appetizing smell of the chicken nuggets.

Kataro shrugs and grabs a box more-eo's. he sat on the couch next to Spencer and started to eat them. "Sorry. I'm a huge whale. I love eating." He said as he stuffed a cookie in his mouth. He grabbed the remote and turned on the tv. "So... ......... .... Uh... Never mind." He said as he began to blush.

Spencer smirks. Kataro wasn't the only one. He had bad eating habits himself. He just wasn't all that hungry at the moment. The smell from the oven was getting to him though, but making his stomach hurt.

"What were you going to say?"

Grinning, he slouches slightly on the couch and looks over at Kataro. His face had turned red so it had to have been something personal. It was probably a bad idea to ask, but he was going to mess with him a bit.

"It couldn't be that bad."

Kataro let out a sigh. He wanted to ask Spencer, but he was spineless at the moment. He looked up at Spencer and tried to muster up some strength. Just ask him you idiot! It's not that hard! Besides, what could go wrong!? He thought to himself. He closed his eyes for a short moment and asked Spencer. "Uh.... Umm... I was... I was wondering.... If... If... You.... Uh.... If you wanted..... Uh.... If you wanted to move innnnn....." He said as he tried to avoid stammering, but obviously failed.

Spencer grinned while Kataro continued to stutter and skip words. But when he finally finished, he chuckled. The question wasn't that bad. It was something he saw coming. That was for sure. Spencer just thought he'd have to ask Kataro if he'd want to move in with him.

"Well, only if you want to deal with dog hair. I've got a massive dog at my place that would need somewhere to stay. Other than that, I wouldn't mind moving in."

Kataro smiled. "That'd be great. It gets pretty lonesome around here. Me practically babysitting four kids doesn't quite cut it when it comes to company." He said just as the oven dinged. He hopped up as quick as lightning and instantly took them out of the oven. Good. That wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. He thought to himself. He grabbed a large plate from the nearest counter and put about three handfuls of nuggets on the plate. "Aaah. The nice, crunchy warmth of chicken nuggets. Doesn't get any better." He said as he walked back over to Spencer and sat down. He picked up the remote and started to flip through channels, hoping to find something good. "Ooh! Bad luck Charlie. I love this show!" He exclaimed as he pooped a nugget into his mouth.

Spencer tried to avoid making eye contact with the plate of chicken. He knew he'd explode if he ate anymore, but he was itching to eat more. His mouth was watering, and he stared at the TV to keep his mind off of it. Bad Luck Charlie was a show he'd seen a few times. Hopefully it'd move his train of thought away from the delicious chicken nuggets sprawled across the platter.

((Lol.....I think it autocorrected you. XD The end of your post says 'He pooped a nugget into his mouth.' I just about died earlier when I saw it. >u<))
