Chapter 40: Dust
"Let's go eat dinner." I felt my stomach growl, and I was pretty curious about the food on this cruise.
"Okay." Yuki gave a weak nod. He seemed quiet. It was normal for him to be quiet, but not when we are spending time like this.
"Is everything okay?" I asked him.
"Yes." He gives a half ass smile.
"Come on." I held his hand. Maybe if I try to simmer down, and be a normal boyfriend, he might lighten up.
He smiles. "Okay." He tightens the grip on my hand. He seems happier.

We entered the dining room. A waiter hands us menus, and gives us a genuine smile.
"Thank you." I took the menu, and skimmed.
"Let's get the stew pot." Yuki suggested.
"Sure." I didn't oblige since it had a lot of veggies, and meat in there.
We placed our order. I saw another waiter walk up to us. He reminded me of a samurai cosplayer. "Hello. I see you chose the stew pot." His voice was very relaxing.
"Yes." I chuckled. "Is it any good?"
I looked over at Yuki. He looked uncomfortable, and didn't engage with the waiter.
"It's fantastic, and I'm not just saying that because I work here." He drops a light chuckle.
"Oh I see." I nodded. "May we have some green tea?"
"Sure!" He walks off to fetch the tea.
"Yuki, you okay?" I asked.
"Yes. Sorry I just...it's nothing." He shakes his head.
"Tell me."
"I'm a...troglodytic..."
"Huh?" I didn't know what that word meant.
"It's nothing." He shakes his head.
I didn't bother pestering him after that. I knew it would only aggravate him.
======
Our food came. The same samurai waiter served us. "Here is something as a gift. Pre-made dish." He handed us a plate of perfectly sliced chicken, and beef. "Enjoy." He smiles.
Yuki takes a hold of the pre-made dish, and starts chomping away. He made it look so delectable.
"You want some Takahiro. I am sorry I hogged it." He hands me a slice of the chicken.
"Thanks." I took a bite. It contains extraordinary amounts of flavor. It was delicious.
"How you like it?" Yuki stares at me.
"It's good! I really love it!" I ate another piece.
"I see." He shrugs. "It's okay. I can't say the best."
"You are picky." I said.
"I am." He smiles.
