WHO: Toru, Keiichi, Kanaye. Oh dear
WHAT: Discussion of a wide variety of subjects.
WHERE: Devil Torte, the dessert-focused Maid Cafe
WHEN: Friday, post trip.
WHY: Because it's going to be funny. I promise.

Backpack still slung over his shoulder, Keiichi stepped off the train and walked hurriedly through the stations of one of the smaller towns surrounding Iburi. He'd received a text from Toru that he could meet today, and an address to go to. The otaku's time out in the open was rare, Keiichi figured, and the other boy had seemed insistent.

Not that Keiichi cared. It gave him a reason to forget about the likely fact that he'd seen a Shadow outside of Paradise and not even known it.

Thankfully, the destination didn't seem to be too far from the station, and Keiichi walked the few streets until he came to the address.

"This seems to be the place," he mused, looking up at the building, and instantly turning several shades of red.

He can't be serious. Can he?

The words "DEVIL TORTE" loomed large over the building, and a woman stood at the door to the establishment dressed in an outfit that was one part French maid and two parts provocative. "This...isn't what I think it is, isn't it?"

Kanaye nodded grimly. "Not THAT dangerous, but she's about as dangerous as the rest of us. That axe is sca-ry." he said, whistling on the last word. "It's never gonna hit, but still..."

Kanaye sighed in depression at Toru's first question. "Yeah, but they're all gay or asexual. Dad hired them so I wouldn't try to hit on them after I've found out...Dammit, it sucks!" he said angrily, standing up for emphasis. He was about to go into a rant when he realized that the waitresses were starting at him, and not in a good way. He just sat down and laughed nervously. "I-I mean it was very mean of him." Kanaye finished lamely.

And then stared. And stared. And stared some more. He was good at staring, but usually, he doesn't stare at guys. But Toru was a special case. "You're complaining about the fact that one of the hottest girls in school likes you? You really ARE gay!" he whispered, shocked. "I can see what you mean about Maeko and the fanclub, but..." he conceded while scratching the back of his head. "They won't kill you. Maybe just maim you a little. And hey, look on the bright side! It'll get them all over you!" he said, chuckling.

Shaking his head, he continued. "No, no, no. I'm not getting her off you're back, Torukun. She probably wouldn't do anything if I tried. Keiichi would be a better choice. He already did kiss her, after all."

	Keiichi was busy formulating a reply to Toru. He had been just about to launch into an impressive speech of encouragement when he heard Kanaye's final comment. Palm, meet forehead. Panicked eyes darted back and forth between Kanaye and Toru before finally settling on Kanaye and hissing "How do you know that?" in a nervous whisper. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Operation: Freak out Keiichi was a smashing success. Kanaye really should write a book on the subject. It'd be a best seller.

After thinking about the title for a bit and coming up with nothing, Kanaye just stared at Keiichi and smiled deviously. "After the King's Game, remember? She brought me into the woods? We got to talking, and then arguing. Well, technically..." he said, coughing before continuing. "She kissed me as well, but it was more of a 'I'm irritated with you so I'll kiss you' kind of deal. Not really romantic. I asked if she had practice, and she said yes, with you. Great job on that, by the way." Kanaye said with a thumbs up. "I couldn't get that far if I tried."

Somehow, Keiichi wasn't really surprised. If nothing else, it confirmed that the kiss he and Misaki had shared *had* been solely for the purposes of their friendship...strange as that concept was.

"You manage to get yourself into the strangest situations, you know that," was all he said, before turning to Toru. "If she likes you, Ishinomori-san, you can't let Akuba-san intimidate you. She's a wonderful girl, Aoi-san is." Keiichi nudged Toru in the ribs. "An otaku's dream, aye? You can't give up just like that! This is your chance to achieve your dreams!"

Unlike Kanaye, his exclamations were whispered so as not to attract attention. "If it makes you feel better, though, I'll take care of Maeko for you."

Toru returned his face to its previous position on the table. He groaned audibly. This was exactly what he didn't want.

"No, no, no, you don't get it... I'm serious. I don't want Misaki. She's..." He searched for the best way to articulate his feelings. "Not... my type. It's not that I'm gay, seriously, Kanaye. I just... she's not the kind of girl I like. My type is more... not her?" He somehow slumped even further in his seat. "I don't even know how to say it right. The point is, it's not a dream come true. I don't want to get torn to pieces over a girl I'm not even interested in. That you both have kissed."

He made a vague gesture with a hand. "Don't you guys see an opportunity here? I'm telling you two to try to win Misaki over. I know you can do it."

Kanaye raised an eyebrow. "Well then, what IS your type?" he asked. This was undoubtedly the most important question on his mind. "Just tell you are not interested. For someone like her, that should be enough." he said.

Kanaye sighed. "I'm, honestly, not that interested in her. Yeah, she's cute, and nice. But she's too naive to do anything with her. I'd make a pass and she would take it completely seriously. I'd take someone similar, just not that naive."

Toru blushed, though it was hard to see, considering the position of his face on the table. "My type? If you really want to know... I guess I'd say girls like the nurse... Hana-san? I think that's her name. She's my type..." It wasn't a lie. "I'd tell Misaki that I'm not interested, but... doesn't it seem like it'd hurt her? She's... really sensitive."

He made an irritated noise. "Well, if you don't want her, Satou-sempai, and I'm shocked that you don't... what about you, Keiichi-kun?"

Keiichi regarded Toru with a nod. "If it was up to me that would be fine, but it's not." Deep breath in, deep breath out. "She's my second in command in the Cooking Club. I'm her senpai. That's all I'll ever be."

He had come to that conclusion over the course of the year. Besides, he was past that now. Mostly, anyway. Not that he'd tell them why.

"This is an unexpected development, I must admit. I figured you'd be all over an opportunity like this."

	Kanaye sighed. This was going to be a long couple of minutes. "I know it's surprising, but I'm trying to cut back on the rampart flirting. Or at least serious flirting. Playful flirting, I'm fine with. There is a key difference." he said sagely. "I'm actually going after a girl now. Just one girl, and I don't think she'll be happy if I keep up my ways."

Kanaye, after one girl? THIS NEVER HAPPENS.

Still, Keiichi was pretty sure that Satou-senpai was after Shiori. If so, that would ideally make his life easier. If Shiori liked him, it meant that he wouldn't have to feel guilty about not liking her. Sure, she was nice, and cute, but the drawing thing IN PARADISE was a bit worrying.

"I actually meant Toru, but Hell, you too," Keiichi admitted. "You learn something new everyday. Figures, you two don't want her and she's not interested in me. Life's...crappy like that sometimes."

	Toru looked to both of the other guys and laughed. "This is just great. I run into the two guys who're most likely to be willing to take Misaki off my hands, and neither of them want her! Wow, today's just... special. Heh, I shouldn't go out this often." He lifted up his menu and began to peruse it. "Ugh. Anyways, let's move on. this is getting nowhere."

	zealousemperor 2009-08-04 01:41 am UTC (link)
	Kanaye laughed sheepishly. "Yeah, sorry about that. Still, odd how that works out, eh? Just say no and you'll be fine. Heck, I'll ask her if she's really interested in you, k?" he said. Kanaye nodded. "Yes. So, what are you two having?" he asked as he looked over the menu. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"You don't have to do that, Satou-senpai," Keiichi stated, face going red and pale at the same time. "Really."

Change the subject. Onto cakes. As fast as possible.

"I think I'm going to have their signature Devil Torte," Keiichi said, reading from the menu. "Dark chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and a liquid chocolate center, served warm with vanilla ice cream...by one of our Devil Maids." Ito paused, his face assuming the look that said he was about to ask a question he might not want to know the answer to.

"What exactly is a Devil Maid?"

	Kanaye shrugged. "If you insist, Keikun." Looking over the menu, he shook his head. "I don't know, but I like it. I'm getting that as well." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	2dbeauty 2009-08-04 12:02 pm UTC (link)
	Toru intently looked over his menu. "I think I'm just going to get strawberry shortcake. And... Keiichi-kun? I think it's best if you just wait to find out who the Devil Maids are. It'll be more fun that way." He smirked a little bit, and sat back in his chair, waiting for the waitress to return. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	keiito 2009-08-04 05:57 pm UTC (link)
	Keiichi did not like the Toru smirk. He might have even liked it less than Kanaye's version. It was too late, however, as the waitress had arrived already, bowing to them. Swallowing hard, Keiichi looked up at her, and managed a "I'll have the Devil Torte, please." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zealousemperor 2009-08-04 06:54 pm UTC (link)
	Smiling a bit at the waitress, Kanaye put down the menu and said "I'd like one as well, please." Quite honestly, it was win-win for Kanaye. If it was good, it was good. If it was bad, then he could blame Keiichi. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	2dbeauty 2009-08-04 11:26 pm UTC (link)
	Toru smiled at the waitress, hardly even looking at her. "I'm just getting strawberry shortcake this time." She nodded and left, taking the menus with her and leaving the three boys to continue their discussion. Toru leaned on the table and idly stared off into the distance. "So, um... what else is new?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zealousemperor 2009-08-05 12:06 am UTC (link)
	"Absolutely nothing, really." Kanaye said as the waitress left. "Still don't have a girlfriend, but I am trying." Kanaye gasped as he thought of a wonderful idea. Smiling deviously, he turned to his tablemates. "You can probably guess what I'm going to ask. Which girls, or guys" he nodded to Toru. "do you like?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Toru cringed when Kanaye added 'guys' to his statement, and gave his sempai a nearly-scathing glance.

"I told you, I don't like guys!" He paused awkwardly. "That being said, I'm not really... interested in anyone right now. Y-you probably remember what he said... I have trouble finding real people attractive now. I'm working on it," (a knowing wink here), "but as it stands, I'm don't 'like' anyone, especially not at our school."

	Keiichi sighed at the older student. "If you think I'm telling you who I'm after, Satou-senpai, you are out of your mind..." He leaned back in his chair, hoping that the Devil Torte would be good. Keiichi was quite hungry. Besides, maybe dessert would keep Satou-senpai shut up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zealousemperor 2009-08-05 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	Kanaye pouted. Curses, foiled again. Ah well. "Keikun, I'd have thought that me being out of my mind was obvious. Guess I'm not trying hard enough then." he said, sighing. Looking at his watch, he tapped it while asking "When is the food going to get here?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Toru leaned back in his chair and sighed, glad that Kanaye and Keiichi had moved off the topic of his nonexistent and frankly embarrassing love life. As he stared off into the distance, he saw a maid in a particular costume approaching, carrying what appeared to be three desserts. He grinned and pointed.

"Hey, sempais. Looks like the food's on it's way now."
