Dressed in a black and red hoodie, black jeans, and orange converse he waited for Toshiya to arrive. He ran his fingers through his multi-colored hair and looked around at the people who sat around him. He had no Idea what to expect of the person Nyu had told him to meet only that she was eiger for them to meet.
Ordering a glass of milk and coffee, he waited patiently. his fingers lightly tapping on the table as he watched people walk through the door, but none toward him. Looking down at the seat next to him he looked at the Orchids he had gotten for Toshiya. It might have been a little too much, but he shrugged that tought out of his head and got them anyway.
"Is this a blind date" he thought to himself as he looked at the table. His fingers continuosly tapping on it. He simply hoped that it was not a blind date. The thought of it made him shiver, he was never really a guy for that sort of stuff. Yet there he remained waiting. He arrived a little early just in time. It was better to arrive early than late he always said to himself.
Lucies looked down at his watch and wondered if he was paying way to much attention to the time then other things like how long the orchids will last with out water.

Toshiya waved goodbye to Mr. Darwin as he exited the elderly man's black porche. He was grateful for the ride and even more so for Etienne not getting upset that he had a 'date' with some other man. Well, Toshiya didn't really see it as a date. Just meeting a new friend....hopefully. Toshiya ran a nervous hand over his clothes. He'd managed to stay clean so far wearing a white t-shirt that said Kawaii in big black letters and a pair of fitting faded blue jeans. On his feet were a brand new pair of white Reebox. He was trying for casual, even taking a few extra minutes to make sure his blue-black hair was in place and not all over his head.
Toshiya let out a calming sigh as he finally entered the lounge. He paused in the door and looked around slowly. Did he get the right place? He really hoped he did especially after spending so much time trying to find the place. His wide almond shaped brown eyes stopped on a man sitting over by himself with orchids sitting close by. He seemed nice enough.
Toshiya approached him slowly bowing his head slightly just as his father had taught him. "Umm...hi, I'm looking for someone...can you help me?" He asked shyly meeting the man's eyes for only a moment before looking down to his shoes. "Ms. Nyu said his name was Lucies...do you know him?" He looked up again so as not to seem rude or like he was talking to his shoes.

Lucies looked up as a youngman walked into the pub, he looked straight at him and even upproached him. He wondered if he was the one Nyu wanted him to meet. The young man even managed to make him blush something he was not really used to at all.
As he heared him speak his eyes fell on his blue black hair, now he wondered who else int he city had mulit colored hair. Hearing ask for help in finding him he stood up and watched him look at his feet. "Sure allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lucies Emaleth Ashenvale... Nyu's uncle" he said as he bowed his head.
He looked down at the orchids and picked them up hading them to Toshiya. "You must be Toshiya" he replied as he smiled warmly and bowed his head again. "Pleasure to meet you" he said to him as ge stood up straight

Toshiya scratched at his cheek absently. He was ready to apologize for bothering the man in the first place when he heard him speak. The teen instantly brightened. So he had gone to the right place. It was quite an accomplishment being that Toy was so bad with directions. "Nice to meet you." He said happily and bowed his head as well. This time he wasn't too shy to actually speak up to be heard. He still didn't manage to keep eye contact but that was to be expected. Toy was just submissive by nature. "Ms. Nyu told me alot about you." He nodded to his own words.
His smile falter to an expression of surprise as Lucies produced a bundle of orchids. He took them staring at them with wide eyes. He touched the petal delicately and blushed. "I didn't bring you anything....." He pouted apologetically. He hadn't thought to bring anything. "These are really pretty. Thank you." He added quickly pressing the flowers to his nose. They smelled sweet and fresh. "Nice to meet you too." He offered a smile and looked at the only available seat at the table the other man was seated at. Were they supposed to sit now?

Lucies motioned Toshiya to sit " Really what did she say?" he asked in a curious manner as he eyes the young man smell the orchids. Another blush fell apon him. A he took a deep breath he smelled his scent. He smelled similar to Seppuku and wondered if they were related.
Motioneing him to sit he shook his head lightly "No need to get me anything" he said to him as he called a waitress over. "You are very much welcome" he said to him as he bowed his head for the third time this evening. He didnt mind it at all especially to a new person.

Toshiya took his seat happily still marvelling at the orchids. He'd gotten a few from Scratch as well and the flowers just...wasn't something he was used to seeing every day. He sniffed them again. They smelled really really good. "She said you were really nice and that you liked to bake...and that'd you teach me when you had the chance?" Toshiya made the last part a question just in case the man really didn't want to deal with teaching someone to bake. Toshiya could be a very hard person to teach at times. Especially when he found something else to occupy his attention.
Toy looked to the waitress and smiled. "Can I have two glasses of ice water, one for my flowers and the other for me, please." He asked her. He looked back to Lucies with a pleasant smile. He had absolutely no idea what he wanted to say to the man.

He smiled and blushed deeply at the fact that Nyu was telling people he baked. Although it was true he didnt know why people would want to know. He looked up at him and nodded "Yes I can teach you that is not a problem" he said to him as he watched him smell the flowers. "You like orchids?" he asked him as he tilted his head to one side.
His attention turned to the waitress "Ill have a milkshake" he said with a smile. He was craving something sweet and childish. Something a milkshake might cut. "Tell me about yourself" he said to him.

Toshiya smiled happily. He was looking forward to learning how to bake with the older man's help. He seemed like a patient enough person to deal with him. "Thank you." He said happily resembling a child that just got exactly what he wanted for Christmas. He looked down to the orschids still in his hands and nodded. "They really pretty and smell kinda like candy." He said and ran his finger over the soft petal. His favorite flower was the red rose but the black orchid came really really really close to being his favorite as well.
"Oh...can I have a piece of strawberry pie?" He asked just before the waitress left. He would've asked for strawberry milk as well but that would defeat the purpose of the second glass of water he asked for. With his ordering done, he regarded Lucies' request. "Ummm....I'm seventeen and I work at Black Bible Corp as a model..parttime. Umm...I have a bunny named Midnight...he can't walk and I like strawberries." He shrugged. There was a lot more to tell about himself but he figured that that was enough for now. "What about you?"

Lucies smiled at him and bowed his head again "Youare very welcome" he replied as he watched him smell the orchids again as if their smell was so intoxicating. "So you like sweets? Dont think Nyu mentioned that" he commented as he watched him.
He heared him ask the waitress for a piece of strawberry pie something new to him. He knew there was pie just didnt know they had strawberry flavored. Looking down at the table he looked back up at Toshiya as he spoke about himself. "I am 21, my job is to find things like artifacts for people. I live alone in the outskirts and I love Icecream" he said as he summed himself up in two sentences.

Toshiya smiled widely and nodded. Did he like sweets? He friggin loved them. "Hai...my boss doesn't let me have much of it cos he says I'll get fat, but i never do." He stated. He wisely left out the part where he'd spend his whole paycheck on sweets and try to eat it all in a week's time. Each time had led him to be sick and each time Yoshiki had lectured a hole in his head over it. Toshiya almost pouted at the thought of it. They just didn't understand.
He got back on topic quickly hearing Lucies tell about himself. He eyes lit up noticeably when he heard about the vampire's job."Honto ni? What kind of artifacts? Have you found anything really really cool? Like a mummy or ummm those really old vase things?" Toshiya paused in his tirade of questions. He ducked his head sheepishly realizing how many questions he asked and only hoped that Lucies didn't mind it. Only three people seemed to put up with constant curiosity. That was Etienene, Scratch and Seppuku and he loved them all dearly for putting up with him.

A chuckle escaped Lucies lips as he heared him state the relationship between him and his boss over sweets. He had made sweets all the time and never worried about being fat. Vampires never gain weight since they are dead so getting fat was not in his book. "Your boss worries to much" he whispered as he smiled warmly and watched the waitress bring their treats to the table.
He asked for a straw so that he could drink his milkshake. Lucies rarely liked drinking out of the cup especially in pubs, he felt safer with straws. He chuckeled and caughed on his milkshake a bit as he heared Toshiya's excitement over the conversation. "No they havnt send me out to find mummys or vases with ashes of organs, but gems or something else of value" he replied.
He noticed Toshiya had ducked his head "Are you ok?" he asked him as he tilted his head to one side and watched him. He hoped that it wasnt something he did to cause him to act as such.

Toshiya laughed shortly. Everyone seemed to agree on the fact that Yoshiki worried way too much. And besides Toshiya had in fact lost weight rather than gained since becoming a werefox. Of course, Yoshiki didn't know that and wouldn't know that if Toshiya had any say in it. he didn't want to have the man to worry. "Yeah, he can be a real worry wart sometimes...but he won't let me cook so I have to buy the stuff." He stated. And right on cue, the waitress came with the pie he order and the two glasses of water. He smiled happily to her and remove the straw from one of the cups. He sliped his orchids into the water and moved the cup he was to drink out of to the other side of him.
He blinked owlishly as Lucies began to choke on his milkshake. "Are you alright? Did I ask to many questions?" Toshiya's wide eyes blinked at the older man as he began to speak again. He relaxed. "Have you ever kept anything you found?" He asked. He nodded when Lucies ask if he was going. "Its just that....sometimes I get on people's nerves with asking so many questions. But Seppuku and Scratch don't yell at me so much for it and neither does Etienne."

"Wont let you cook?" he asked as he watched the waitress set Toshiya's order down on the table. His attention fell on the Orchids as he nicely placed them in the glass of water. That was one worry of his shoulders, he let out a small breath in relaxation. Lucies didnt want the Orchids to die before the youngman got to his home.
He shook his head and waved at him to calm down "Not to many questions they were just fine, just never met someone with such enthusiasm over them" a smile appearing on his face after he spoke. He looked down at his shake and shook his head lightly once more. Although he would admit that he wanted to keep some he never did. It was a part of his job one of his rules. "You never keep what you find" he whispered "Thats my rule" he added.
Cocking his head to one side he smiled and looked at Toshiya. He was different than most of the men he meets, but this was not a bad thing it was good. "I am acctually glad that you ask so much" he stated as he looked down at his glass taking a sip of his milkshake.

Toshiya shook his head. "No they won't let me cook...but its kinda cos the last time I did I sorta set the kitchen on fire." He trailed off a bit with a light blush coloring his cheeks. "But it was just a little fire. They put it out." He said quickly as if it would make it better.
He smiled hearing that Lucies didn't mind the questions. Not many people put up with the teen's curiosity so it was pleasant to meet someone that would every now and then. "Never? So you sell everything you find?" Toshiya cocked his head in thought. The profession really sounded fun but he didn't know if he'd be able to give away EVERYTHING he found. He would've had to at least keep on keepsake even if it was a bottle cap or something totally irrelevant to what he was looking for.
"It sounds like fun..even if you don't get to keep anything." Toshiya stated and finally picked up his fork. He sunk the fork into the biggest strawberry he saw, just like he always did, and bit into it. The semi clear thickened red juice of the fruit stained his lips for a moment before being licked away. Another fine piece of pie. Toshiya wasn't sure that he'd ever find a bad piece of pie in all of Ravenblack.

Lucies looked at him and raised an eyebrow he coughed a bit and chuckeled "Little huh?" he asked. He had never run into that kind of trouble in the kitchen. In fact he was so good he enjoyed multi-tasking.
He shook his head at his question "I return it to the people who are paying me to look for it. They pay me half when I go off and half when i return with it" he corrected. Ofcourse he wanted to keep some of the things he found, but he always managed to return them to those who asked him.
"It is" he said to him as he smiled a bit and took a sip of his milkshake as he watched him enjoy his pie. He smiled and began to move his straw about in circles.

Toshiya blushed deeper. "Well...maybe a little bigger than little...but it only took ten minutes to get out." He stated. Toy hadn't meant to fall asleep and who would've thought that fruit was combustible. Toshiya hadn't thought it was until that day.
He nodded hearing what Lucies did with what he found. "That makes you a very trustworthy person." Toshiya stated. Anyone that could return what they find all the time was in his opinion. "Do they give you a lot or a deadline?" He picked up another strawberry with his fork along with some of the whipped cream and crust that came with the pie. He bit into it with a content smile. It didn't take much to keep the teen happy. Pie and candy was all he asked for.

"Ten minutes huh?" he said as he made long nods. He then cocked his head to one side "What exactly were you making?" he asked ina curious manner as he looked at Toshiya. He would think that a fire would depend on how difficult the dish was that they were cooking. Although he never had a problem... he was a chef in his own home.
He nodded and chuckeled a bit "Yes and its good money too" he said with a wink. The pay was enough to keep him from working for months even a year at times, but he liked taking in job after job. "Acctually I gave them a perios of time" he said as he took another sip of his shake. "I look at what their are after and the location then time period comes in" he replied as he began to play with his straw once more.
He smiled a he watched him enjoy the pie, he enjoyed watching someone enjoy sweets. They were the main thing in his life, hence why he enjoyed baking. He was no Betty Crocker, but he was close.

Toshiya blushed yet again when he was asked what he as trying to cook. "It was a fruit pie...umm...I got bored and just put a lot of fruit together like blackberries and strawberries...lots of strawberries." It hadn't been a pie Toy could think of but the reds and dark purple had looked nice together in his opinion....before they turned all charcoal black.
He laughed a little hearing what Lucies had to say about making good money followed by a wink. Toy could only imagine how much fun the man had on the job. "Its sound really fun...better than sitting in front of a camera looking pretty." He stated poking at his pie. Modeling was slowly starting to get boring in his opinion especially when he heard about all the other fun professions offered around Ravenblack. Toshiya mentally shrugged it off. Maybe it was just a phase he was having and it would get interesting again. With that in mind, he took another bite of his pie and paused. He looked up finding Lucies watching him. Toy blushed. "Want some?" He asked shyly.

Uh huh... so where you following a receipe?" he asked as he raised an eyebrow at him. He had never done pie.. so he didnt know how hard the task was. Never did he have a problem and the kitchen so he enjoyed listening to other peoples problems, like Toshiya's
Lucies looked down at his shake as he heared hiim laugh. He was glad to have managed that much from Toshiya. Looking up he smirked at him "Hehe that should be hard for you.. you are afterall very attractive" he said as he looked back down at his shake.
He looked up again and shook his head a bit, although he would have loved to. He got enough sweets just watching him eat it. "Not thank you" he said as he smiled at him. "You keep eating your pie" he said as he began to play with the straw.

Toshiya shook his head slowly. "Umm sorta kinda in a way...I had started using one but, I thought it would be okay just to add something different." He answered. That had been what really got him yelled at after the fire was was put up but had done very little to deter Toshiya from wanting to learn to cook. And maybe, just maybe, he would be good enough to not have to follow a recipe.
Toshiya blushed yet again when Lucies complimented him. He returned the smirk with a shy smile of his own. "Thank you. You'd probably do a better job at it than me. Yoshiki would love that smirk thing you just did. It was cute..." He started to say and blushed furiously. He had let his mouth run off before his brain. He had meant every word but it was still awkward just coming out and comment on someone like that.
He took another bite of his pie. "Are you sure? It really good." He emphasized his words by taking a piece of the pie on his fork and holding out to the older man.

Lucies didnt think adding your own was bad he did it sometimes. "What exactly did you change?" he asked wondering what it was about the recipe that went wrong. He didnt think that making pie would lead to such chaos in the kitchen then again as mentioned previously he had not had the opportunity to make pie at all.
He watched him blush and smile, it was a even cuter one when he was shy. Lucies smiled as he heard him speak of his smirk being cute. He never has heard that one before. It was new to him and it made him smile along with a light crimson blush to follow. "Aslong as I take the pictures with you" he said as he winked at him. Watching him blush even more made Lucies see the cuteness in him again.
Nodding lightly again he waved "no" to the pie. He watched him hold out the fork to him and leaned forward taking a bite of the pie he had offered. "mmm" escaped his lips blushing he covered his mouth and bowed his head in apologies. It even made his curiousity spread a bit aswell.
"Have you heared of that saying 'You are what you eat' ?" he asked as he tilted his head to one side. "Because I wonder if you are as sweet as everything you eat" he commented.

Toshiya thought back on the day he attempted to make the pie. His face screwed up in a pout as he listed all the ingredients he remembered to put in. Eventually, his pointer finger found its way between his lips as he nibbled at the tip of it thoughtfully. "Mmmmm...." He let the digit go with a 'pop'. "I put blackberries, strawberries...some extra strawberry syrup....and a little more baking soda.....and some mirangue stuff....and then I added that top crust thing...and I was supposed to just brown it but I sorta...started watching this movie and forgot about it..." Toshiya trailed off slowly.
Toshiya smiled having been able to make the older man smile AND blush. He uncosciously pushed his hair behind his ear after hearing that Lucies would like to take pictures with him. The blush on his cheeks hadn't subsidded since the last compliment Toy recieved. If Lucies kept it up, he'd be blushing all night. The smile on Toshiya's face grew when the older man tried the pie. He laughed lightly hearing Lucies' approval of the treat. "Its really good, ne?" He said and took a piece as soon as he retrieved his fork. He was finishing licking the remainder of strawberry glaze from the fork when he heard Lucies' next comment.
The fork slowly slid from his lips as the blush on his cheeks darkened further. "I...err..umm...I dunno..." He stammered softly. A short giggle even escaped him. He covered his mouth as it did. He hadn't been called sweet since he came to Ravenblack and if he had, it had never made him blush so badly.

He began to chuckel at the innocence in Toshiya and nodded "i see thats not bad really. It happens to lots of people" he replied as he winked at him. He wanted to make sure Toshiya didnt feel bad about him not being able to bake. Cooking or baking wasnt everyones thing.
Lucies nodded as he looked up at him. He was still blushing and Lucies could feel his face feeling warm. He himself was blushing aswell "Yes its really good" he replied. After commenting about him possibly being sweet he saw his cheeks darken something that made him look even cuter and brought a smile to Lucies face.
"What you dont think its possible?" he asked him as he tilted his head to one side. He caught his giggle before he stopped. He was glad to watch him react in such a manner.

Toshiya smiled hearing Lucies chuckle even if it was at his expense. "Yeah but they got mad anyways cos the movie was the Nightmare Before Christmas and I've seen it five times already...but I got bored waiting for it to brown..." He explained. It was rather hard to sit and try to watch something brown expecially when it took longer than what the book had said. Or maybe Toshiya had just set the fire on too low. He couldn't remember that much about it. Just that the stove and pan it had been baked in had been ruined.
He took another bite of his pie and smiled around his fork. He let it go of the fork. "I guess so or it means that I'm a pie and you're a milkshake." He quipped playfully. He looked down to his pie finding there was just one more strawberry left. He rolled it absently wondering if he should ask Lucies if he wanted half of it.

He nodded understanding what he meant by get bored. Lucies usually had a book with him when he baked that way he could read when waiting for it to bake. "Dont worry it can get boring" he replied to him as he watched him.
Lucies watched Toshiya continue enjoying his pie "Do you like milkshakes?" he asked as he tilted his head to one side. He was curious to know what his answer would be.
