Daus sat down across from Erikos, looking around the small outdoor restaurant with a curious look before he glanced back towards the other. He leaned forward on his elbows, a dorky smile on his face as he rested his chin on the palms of his hands. "Have I ever told you how adorable you are," he spoke up, a lopsided grin crossing his lips.
"I'm not adorable, I'm hot. There's a difference," Erikos said, huffing a bit even though he was grinning like a dork. "You're the cute one. I can pull off hot, but not cute."
"Oh trust me, you can definitely pull off cute. With that smile and laugh…you're absolutely adorable," Daus teased, as he noticed Erikos begin to grin as well. He let out a small chuckle, his own smile brightening even more.
"I have a reputation, leave me alone," Erikos said with a small huff. He crossed his arms theatrically, but he was still smiling despite his best efforts to keep from doing so
"So cute," Daus mumbled as he pressed a kiss to Erikos' nose as his own dorky grin crossed his lips. It was honestly adorable whenever Erikos tried to act tough even though their own smile was on their face.
"Oh, leave me alone," Erikos huffed, sticking his tongue out at Daus playfully, still trying to keep up the "grumpy" act. He was on the verge of laughing, though he did his best to keep from doing so
"Oh, that just makes you even cuter, Erikos," Daus added in a sing-song voice, grinning brightly as he watched Erikos continue to act grumpy and tough.
"Okay, I give up," Erikos said, finally breaking as he laughed. He ran a hand through his dark hair, his fingers occasionally catching on a knot. He really should have brushed his hair a little better after the beach
"You look great, don't worry," Daus spoke up, waving the other off as they brushed through their dark hair. "I swear, literally every woman out here in checking you out," he added with a small laugh, motioning to some of the groups of girls and other's walking or sitting near them.
"Well, tough luck for them. I'm already taken," Erikos hummed before pressing a kiss to Daus' cheek. He glanced around a bit, noticing how some of the girls had shocked faces or had gasped
Daus laughed, returning Erikos' kiss by pecking them on the lips, causing some older or even elderly people to give them shocked looks. "Do the people here not like…this?" He then asked, motioning towards the two of them. Though, he didn't really mind if they didn't. He had enough of these kinds of problems in the past with old boyfriends.
"Nah, I've just never been seen with a guy before," Erikos chuckled. "I'm sort of well-known around here, and I've only ever been public with my relationships with girls. But I figured that it was about time I revealed my pan-ness to the world."
"Long live pan-ness!" Daus exclaimed softly, sure to keep his voice decently low so then he wouldn't be yelling in the middle of the restaurant.
Erikos laughed a bit loudly at that. "I swear, I need to buy a shirt or something that says I'm pansexual or something. I'll just show up to the beach or something and all of a sudden everyone I know has a heart attack," he laughed
"I would literally pay to see that," Daus laughed, a grin crossing his face as he thought of how that would look. "Oh, and you should definitely get some swim shorts with tiny rainbow flags all over them. Now that would be perfect." He added with a small laugh.
"Hell yeah. I'm going to either buy rainbow swim shorts or I'm going to buy patches and like, sew them on," Erikos said, grinning as he spoke. "And maybe we could get matching shirts, too. Ones that say 'I'm with gay' or something."
Daus laughed loudly, drawing a few glances from the younger people sitting around them. "Maybe some that say 'I'm not gay. My boyfriend is,'" he added, humming in thought as he tried to recall some of shirts that his friend Baz had shown him one day.
Erikos laughed even more at that. "Oh hell yeah, we've gotta find shirts like that. And we gotta get you one that says 'I'm not pan, my boyfriend is' or something."
"Perfect," Daus nodded, laughing a bit more as one of the waitresses seemed to wander over towards them. She gave them a bit of a strange look, though it was replaced with a bright smile the moment that she arrived at their table.
The waitress simply handed them menus, and Erikos took one before handing one to Daus. "Alright, taco time," he hummed before looking through his menu
"What should we get?" Daus asked, glancing up towards Erikos as the other seemed to be looking through the menu. He honestly had no clue what they should be getting, and his eyesight in human form had always been poor, so the small font on the menu honestly didn't help.
"Well, there's tacos, of course. They make good pizza too, and macaroni and cheese," Erikos said, beginning to list off some of the things he liked to eat at that restaurant
"Should we get some tacos? Those look pretty good," Daus hummed, looking down at the menu for a few moments as he read over some of the descriptions.
"Sure. They're cheap and tasty, especially the crab and lobster ones," Erikos said. "Not as good as Vien's cooking, though. Those are the best."
"Vien's cooking automatically outranks every other restaurant," Daus chuckled, glancing down towards those tacos as he nodded his head. "Yeah, those look good," he agreed, setting his menu back down onto the table.
