[ you know honestly he strongly suspects this drink was responsible for some Things yesterday, but also he really wants to see if it still tastes the same today, and what's the worst that could happen. so he's ordering one too, fuck it.
in the meantime, he's watching date with curiosity. ]
Really? I'd offer to try to help you figure it out, but it seems that you always taste your own favored flavor no matter whose glass you're drinking from.
[ takes a sip of his own... yep, still the same as yesterday! impressive. ]
A shame, as I think I'm rather talented at identifying precise flavors and scents!
It tastes like drinking original flavor ramune with a strawberry milk candy in your mouth a few minutes after finishing a cup of spicy garlic instant ramen!
Yeah, yeah. [ he pats his shoulder. ] Very impressive of you. Mine just tastes like good alcohol, y’know? I’d be kinda worried if it tasted like curry or bonito.
no subject
I haven’t, no. It really tastes like whatever flavour you prefer?
[ wow. suspicious.
but he’s gonna drink it anyway because?? ]

Well?
no subject
[ well. there's no way any of this could go wrong whatsoever, right? right. so date is having another sippy. ]
...
Huh.
I'm not sure I even know what this flavour is, but I like it.

You had me at strawberry milk candy. And then you had me at spicy garlic instant ramen. But you combined the two of them and then lost me.

Then again, mine tastes like curry so who the hell am I to judge? [ confession time. ]
no subject
And I respect you more for it.
no subject
[ no he isn’t. at least he sounds like he’s making a joke. ]
no subject
[ is that even the word he meant to use? it's kind of cute, mephisto thinks, sipping his ramen ramune hell juice. ]
I must have just imagined that little spill you took when you came in here.

It was a very elegant slide, actually. Judges everywhere gave it ten out of ten.
no subject
[ puts a hand on date's face and
just leaves it there, affectionately cupping his cheek. ]
My mistake.
no subject
he doesn’t lean away from it? he leans a bit more into it, with a slightly challenging look at his face. ]
And? What would you give my smooth moves out of ten?

[ a little hum to himself as he runs his thumb along date's jawline, help ]
Why don't you show me what other moves you've got? Call it extra credit.
no subject
For two whole points? It'd have to be something good... [ a sigh that's just a bit too dramatic. ]
[ help ]
no subject
It would! You don't think you're up for that challenge?
[ and now brushing a finger against his lower lip as he leans in closer..... ]
You seemed pretty confident a moment ago.
no subject
Now you're just taunting me.
[ honestly, 10/10. imply he's not got all the confidence and obviously what's going to happen is-- ]
I'll show you confident--
[ challenge accepted. he is leaning in the rest of the way. ]
