Noble Adonis: Glory of Chaos (BL - boy x boy)

Chapter 43: Bitter Sweetooth

Chapter 43:

"How can you be this incompetent? I swear you knew where we were all the time when we were in high school," Shion scolded.

"I haven't been here in a long time too, and I've never been to the night market before too," Orion defended.

"Have you got data on your phone? I'll drive and you navigate using google maps," Shion groaned.

"I'll drive. We'll use your phone," Orion stated flatly.

Grumpily Shion asked, "Why my phone? I don't have any more data."

"Because your driving was horrifying in high school, and I don't think you've touched a car for five years. What did you use your data on to use it all? You hardly used your data when you were younger," Orion grumbled.

'Watching dramas with you in them' thought Shion.

Naturally, Shion couldn't say that out loud, so he merely fiddled with a strand of hair and said, "I was overusing it on youtube."

Orion rolled his eyes and passed his precious phone over to Shion's outstretched paws.

Looking up at Orion, Shion asked, "What's the address?"

Shion and Orion stared at each other for a few seconds.

Orion scratched his face in avoidance and replied, "Crap."

Sighing, Shion asked Orion, "We'll need to rely on Dr. Google."

Having found the address of the dessert shop, Orion could finally start driving towards the designated destination.

"Hey! Don't start playing games on my phone! I need you to read out the directions! We'll get even more lost this way."

"Hey, why're you nodding off. Read the directions, otherwise I'll have to take my eyes off the wheel to read the directions on that tiny screen."

"What're you doing? This isn't the time to be searching what's in the car, goshdamnit, Shion. Next time you drive and I navigate."

Orion exhaustion level had reached an all time high by the time he saw Shion practically skip into the small dessert shop.

After years of being away, the dessert shop had change significantly. It used to be small and bright with colourful pictures of sweets everywhere, but it was a bit more toned down now. Pulling a scarf around him to cover his face, Orion descended from the car and headed in. The interior of the dessert shop was now more similar to a café. It had a soft aroma of coffee and the colour had been toned down to an informal elegance. A waiter guided them towards a quieter area of the somewhat empty café and seated them down. Late at night, having any people at all was already a feat which reflected the quality of the café.

"One crème brulee please," Shion smiled with a hand raised in the air.

Sitting opposite him, Orion laughed as he made another order, "A matcha parfait as well please."

The waiter took the orders quickly and retrieved the menu while throwing a few odd glances towards the table again.

"Why does he keep looking at us like that?" Orion asked a little unnerved.

"I wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with the mask hanging around your neck or the fact that you've literally wrapped your scarf enough to cover your mouth. You're a very odd picture at the moment. Can't really blame the poor waiter," Shion sniggered with glee.

Orion looked down. Indeed, the fox mask that he had been using to cover his face earlier was hanging around his neck having been taken off and forgoten during his heart to heart chat in the car earlier.
