( `/ he nods, glad that he wouldn’t be needing to change his favorite color any time in the near future, not that he would’ve done so just for Wonshik, though he knew he would probably consider it ) … Those aren’t colors though? ( `/ there’s something akin to a pout on his face, because shades weren’t colors and he scrunches up his nose at the thought ) Those are all shades. That doesn’t count you know. ( `/ he teases lightly but he frowns still, narrowing his eyes playfully )

( `/ he only sighs quietly because honestly, he'd considered amending his statement to saying that those were his favorite shades since he doesn't really have a favorite color to begin with, frowning a little bit ) ... Mm, I know. ( `/ he says quietly before he raises an eyebrow at the other ) ... I like shades. ( `/ he shrugs, it being his only explanation to that and he exhales softly ) If I had to. Green. I suppose. ( `/ he makes a face because he doesn't even really like green and it's only because it's always around him that it's mildly tolerable )

( `/ he nods slowly, shrugging because despite his heritage, he wasn’t fluent besides the few words his grandmother used to scold him with or remind him quietly in the language and he almost wishes that he was fluent — the Slytherin seemed rather impressed ) Is it too Ravenclaw for you? ( `/ he jokes lightly, finally feeling comfortable, acting how he usually did when he was with Wonshik, a smile on his face and he sighs, giving the other a wry look ) Are your favorite colors emerald and silver? I swear on Merlin’s beard ‘shik —

( `/ he raises an eyebrow silently at the other, a faint hint of amusement sparking in his eyes and he shakes his head silently as a response to both questions ) ... Blue is okay. ( `/ he tells the other quietly, it's as close to approval as the Gryffindor will probably get on this topic and he sighs softly, because truth be told he doesn't even really like green -- it's just preferable to colors like red ) Black and white. And shades of grey. ( `/ it's probably why he prefers the silver, honestly -- it's pretty close to grey, if he thinks about it )

( `/ he gives a little sheepish grin, reaching up to rub lightly at his nose with his knuckle ) Uh, my grandfather was Japanese … and my grandmother made it really often? ( `/ he shrugs, noting the slight change in the Slytherin’s tone and he can’t help the smile on his face, stabbing into a chunk of steak and eating it before he tkes a sip of his Butterbeer ) Ooh ~ that’s easy. I promise it’s not red! ( `/ he’s feeling a bit more comfortable now, a bit less tense and awkward ) Navy blue!

( `/ he nods quietly in understanding, not wanting to talk about it anymore since he's not entirely sure how comfortable the Gryffindor is talking about his recently deceased grandmother. she'd been precious to him, that much he could tell, and he doesn't know how to deal with emotions. he's not good at that ) ... You're a quarter Japanese? ( `/ he murmurs softly, a little caught off guard by that. at the other's comment on his favorite color, he smirks slightly ) ... Good. Mm, that's... nice. ( `/ he says softly -- while he doesn't like it, it's a color he can certainly deal with )

( `/ he hadn’t thought about the question being turned back on him and he actually stares at the other for a moment, unsure of what to say because honestly, what he ate depended on his appetite and if he didn’t have an appetite, he wouldn’t eat ) Um … spaghetti is always nice …? And Japanese curry! ( `/ he adds on as an after thought, tilting his head to the side slightly )

( `/ he has to admit that he's a little surprised by what the other is saying, not having expected such unusual favorites from the Gryffindor ) ... Japanese curry? ( `/ his voice is faintly entertained and he glances up at the other quietly ) ... Okay. ( `/ it's a silent promise that he'll remember the other's favorites, glancing quietly at his ribs as he cuts off another piece and chews before asking the next question ) Color?

( ` 대답은 너니까 ; kws & lhb

( `/ he had actually just moved to push his plate of steak towards his boyfriend, a small pout appearing when he had been stopped and he sighs ) It’s like you knew I was going to give it to you … ( `/ he scrunches up his nose, glancing up at the other with his usual puppy eyes and he shakes his head ) … Not fair. We both now I’m easy to read.

( `/ he raises an eyebrow at the other almost playfully, almost the expression on his lips doesn't change ) ... I did know. ( `/ he retorts easily, fighting within himself not to react to the puppy eyes -- they were really cute, damn it all -- and exhaling softly ) It's okay, Hongbin. I don't mind. Just eat. ( `/ he says slowly, pushing the plate back in the other's direction ) Yours?

( `/ he nods slowly at that, noting the use of the past tense and he guesses that means that the Slytherin was okay with him knowing things now so he wracks his brain from something to ask, and he blurts out the first thing on his mind ) Favorite … food? ( `/ he realized it meant something to him to know this because he did rather pride himself on his somewhat, rather decent cooking skills and knowing something like that was important if they were to have anything of a future together )

( `/ his eyes take on an amused light at the first question he's fired and he gives a faint semblance of a chuckle before he gestures at the plate in front of the other ) ... steak. and ddeokbokki. ( `/ he murmurs softly, already anticipating what the other will do and putting his hand at the edge of the plate to prevent the younger from pushing it towards him -- either the Gryffindor is extremely predictable, or he's just observant enough. or it's magic. one of those. )

( ` 대답은 너니까 ; kws & lhb

( `/ he blinks up at the other after shoving another piece of steak into his mouth, chewing slowly as he tried to come up with a question to ask the other because his mind was actually drawing a blank at the moment and he couldn’t help but feel embarrassed — Hongbin, you’re on a date with your boyfriend, you have to say something! ) I don’t … but that’s because I always assumed you didn’t … want me know anything …?

( `/ he meets the other's gaze evenly, his expression blank and unchanging, staring at the other quietly ) ... I didn't. ( `/ he uses the past tense on purpose, absently wondering if the other would pick up on it. while he's still not comfortable talking about it, he feels almost like now that they're... together, the Gryffindor has a right to know. and he wants the other to... know him. if Hongbin is going to be a permanent fixture, then he wants the other to know him like Seukhye does )

( ` 대답은 너니까 ; kws & lhb

( `/ he continues to bite on his lip, unaware of the other’s gaze as he taps his fingers lightly on the table top and he blinks at the Slytherin in surprise, getting the meaning right away and he blushes, ducking his head ) … Okay. ( `/ he thrashes around in his brain for a topic to talk about and he comes up with nothing before he eats another piece of steak ) 

( `/ he glances at the other silently, his eyes blank as he stares at the Gryffindor without any words coming out ) ... You can ask me questions. ( `/ he finally murmurs softly, permissing it for once ) ... You don't know much about me, so. ( `/ he doesn't glance at the other because it's not something he's really comfortable with but he's willing to open it up this once )

( ` 대답은 너니까 ; kws & lhb

( `/ he glances up when then Slytherin speaks, surprise written blatantly all over his face and he blinks at the other for a moment, chewing on his lip as he debated on what to say in response to that ) … It’s weird if I’m talking all the time … ( `/ he says softly, shaking his head for a bit and he tries to reword his statement ) Its okay if it’s quiet … I don’t mind … 

( `/ he stares at the other's lip blankly, his attention drawn by that and he half wants to kiss the other right then and there, but he shakes himself out of the notion quietly ) ... I like it. ( `/ he murmurs softly before he glances away, going silent again, meaning that he likes the sound of the Gryffindor's voice, even if he's reluctant to admit it out loud )

( ` 대답은 너니까 ; kws & lhb

( `/ he stays silent for the rest of the time as he eats quietly, cutting chunks of steak and eating them as he debates on what to do. It had been much too long without talking for him to really want to break the silence and he really doesn’t have a topic to start talking about and he didn’t want to revert to the usual N.E.W.T.’s talk that he had be using lately and he just gives a little sigh, chewing quietly on another chunk of steak )

( `/ the silence doesn't bother him, but it is a little strange -- he's used to the Gryffindor chattering away and even when it's with his sister, Seukhye fills the silence with idle chatter and funny comments. while he does prefer silence, he finds that with certain people, he doesn't mind the noise, and it's only been recently that he's found Hongbin added to that list ) ... You can talk. ( `/ he murmurs softly, wondering if the other needs a verbal prompt that it's okay )

( `/ he’s mildly surprised — no, that’s a lie, he’s extremely surprised — when the fork is lifted in his direction instead and he blinks at it for a moment for he realizes that it’s being offered to him and he actually stares at the Slytherin for another heartbeat before he slowly leans forward to take the piece of steak off the fork, cheeks coloring as he chews quietly ) Huh? Oh — crap. ( `/ he glances down at his nose, a sheepish look crossing his face as he grabs for the napkin, dabbing lightly )

( `/ he glances at the other silently, his lips pressed together as he stares resolutely at his own Butterbeer, taking a sip of that, uncomfortable with the display of affection as he always is. refusing to look up at the other again, he cuts off a piece of his ribs again and shoves it into his mouth, feeling extraordinarily awkward, never good with social interaction. he would have said something, but he doesn't even know what to say and in the end he just remains silent )

( ` 대답은 너니까 ; kws & lhb

( `/ he nods, agreeing wholeheartedly with the Slytherin’s words and he pushes the steak towards the other before he stops to sip at his own Butterbeer, scrunching his nose when the foam tickles it and he chuckles lightly ) … Every time. ( `/ he sighs a bit, taking another sip and holding onto the mug lightly, glancing at his boyfriend )

( `/ he cuts off another piece and hesitates before he glances away and holds the fork in the other's direction, a disgruntled expression on his face. ugh, romance. but... this isn't so bad, he supposes, since Hongbin isn't demanding it of him and he's giving away his food, so... he sighs and pushes the plate back towards the other before he gestures at the Gryffindor's nose )

( ` 대답은 너니까 ; kws & lhb

( `/ he glances up at the offer of the rib, and he bites into it, making a muffled noise of enjoyment as he smiles ) This is really good — ( `/ he blinks down at his steak, cutting off a chunk and eating it as well, before he pushes his plate towards the Slytherin ) Did you want to try? It’s really good — so much better than my imagination had made it, really. 

( `/ he nods quietly, cutting into the other's steak silently and popping the small piece into his mouth, making a soft sound before he leans back in his seat again ) ... It's good. ( `/ he murmurs softly before he sips at his Butterbeer quietly, glancing up at the Gryffindor. he'd never been much for words and he hopes that the other can understand that )
