I like your surprises.

[He gives Azul a look up and down that is not at all subtle. He's not going to do more than look, they're officially in public now and he does have some standards.]

[tothosewhobait]

[Tries not to flush under the attention, but he can’t stop it completely, smiling a bit as he walks out of the elevator]

Careful, if you say that, then I really won’t be stopped.

[unpaidovertime]

I know how much you like purple, but blue looks amazing on you, too.

[And it's Nanami Kento in the lead for top menace right out of the gate!]

[tothosewhobait]

…we are not going to manage to make it out of this elevator if you keep that up, sir.

[unpaidovertime]

You're right, my apologies.

[He's smiling on the inside now, but looks put together and normal on the outside again.]

[tothosewhobait]

[Mumbles to himself watching as the floors count down, trying to make sure his face is a normal color as they step out of the elevator and towards the street so he can wave down a cab]

[unpaidovertime]

[If he's amused by this it doesn't show. He holds the door for Azul to get in first when their cab arrives though, always the gentleman.]

[tothosewhobait]

You're still on my list.

[Gets into the car though, setting a big basket on the seat between them]

[unpaidovertime]

Oh, which list is that?

[He's curious but not going to pry, Azul wants this to be a surprise and he wants to make sure it stays that way.]

[tothosewhobait]

[Leans forward between the front seats to tell the driver where to take them, ignoring the question as one does]

[unpaidovertime]

[And in a way that answers the question for him. But he's happy to sit in silence as they drive, no clue as to where they're going but enjoying the sights as they go by.]

[tothosewhobait]

[Does switch seats with the basket so he can sit next to Nanami so he can have a better angle to enjoy Nanami while Nanami enjoys the sights]

[unpaidovertime]

[Reaching over to hold Azul's hand without taking his eyes off the windows]

[tothosewhobait]

[Takes that hand, leaning against Nanami’s shoulder immediately]

[unpaidovertime]

[Enjoying the comfortable silence and squeezing Azul's hand lightly to reinforce that he's still thinking of him every so often.]

[tothosewhobait]

[Eventually the cab pulls to a stop and Azul will finally let go of Nanami’s hand, leaning between the front seats again to pay]

[unpaidovertime]

[Nanami will let himself out and hold the door for Azul again before looking around.]

So where have you brought us, my pearl?

[tothosewhobait]

The ocean, of course. You had best take your shoes off and roll up your pants unless you plan to bring the beach home with you.

[unpaidovertime]

[He laughs, but does take his shoes and socks off, rolling up his pants and heading down into the sand.]

I wasn't sure what to expect when you asked me to dress warmly, and it certainly wasn't this.

[tothosewhobait]

[Sets down the basket. Pulling out a giant blanket and laying it out on the sand.]

I know a nice rooftop place we can go for drinks later, so don’t be too eager to dress down.

[Sets his own shoes at the edge of the blanket]

[unpaidovertime]

You've thought of everything, I see.

[He helps settle the blanket evenly so that it's not wrinkled or folded over and then sets his own shoes on the other edge.]

[tothosewhobait]

Well…if a picnic was a flop, I thought it prudent to have back up reservations.

[Opens his hand, forming a little fireball and letting it grow to a decent size before allowing it to hover on its own above the blanket]

[unpaidovertime]

This is all very thoughtful, and I'm happy to share it with you.

[Settles on the blanket to one side of the basket, leaving enough room for Azul to set out whatever it is he's packed.]

[tothosewhobait]

[Hands Nanami a glass, pouring some wine before starting off with plating a charcuterie board near him with plenty of fruits, jams, honey, nuts, cheeses and crackers…of course he’s making sure it’s plated beautifully with fresh herbs for decor]

I wanted to do something a little bit different. Let me know if it gets too cold and I’ll make the fire bigger. I just thought the evening would be quieter so we could actually hear the waves. And…if it was private enough…there was something I wanted to show you too.

[unpaidovertime]

[He watches the process intently, trying to figure out each thing as it comes out while he lets the wine breathe.]

I was hoping for some alone time with you tonight, but now I'm even more hopeful that we aren't disturbed. You do bring me the best surprises.

Oh. And I have a gift for you, too.
