✮ You thought it would be a cute date idea to take your boyfriend to his very first hibachi restaurant
✮ I mean, it’s not like they were around during his time
✮ And he’d be to busy training in the afterlife to actually ever go to one
✮ So you decided to take it upon yourself to take him to enjoy the delicious food and experience
✮ …and just a couple drinks, Y’know?
✮ anyways, you had to make sure you got a reservation ahead of time because those places pile up wayyyyy to quickly
✮ Which understandable but damn, it’s like even in the afterlife life these poor workers can’t seem to get a break
✮ back to the date, while you and Lu Bu patiently waited for your table to be ready, you explained to him how these things worked
✮ while watching the other flames from the tables
✮ Finally, your name gets called and your both quickly lead to your table
✮ you both order your drinks and your left alone to explore the menu
✮ once you’ve both chosen, the hibachi chef quickly comes and begins cooking your meals
✮ You excitedly wait for the huge flames, wanting to see some sort of reaction for your boyfriend
✮ Atlas, you get no such reaction from him as he remains his usual stoic expression
✮ while you were a little disappointed, you didn’t let that ruin your date as you enjoyed the show and the small talk the chef was giving
✮ The chef suddenly hold up a squirt bottle of liquid towards you with a smile, offering you some
✮ you quickly nod your head with a smile before opening your mouth
✮ Lu Bu, looked at you confused, clearly not understanding what was going on
✮ He was caught off guard when the man began squirting the liquid into your mouth
✮ You happily swallowed it as the hibachi chef looked over at Lu Bu, offering some
✮ Lu Bu only raised a brow, not understanding what was going on
✮ You quickly explained to him that it was just sake in the bottle, that they were just silly little shots
✮ Now knowing what it was, he opened his mouth for the chef, accepting the sake
✮ After that, you both had an amazing time, taking shot after shot before the chef said his goodbyes
✮ You even taught him a few more shot tricks while you guys were there as well
✮ You both made sure not to drink too much though, not wanting to be in a bad mood the next morning
✮ Overall, you both had an amazing time and he really liked the food
✮ You had wanted to take Adam and his family out for dinner for a change
✮ You learned that they’d never been out to a hibachi restaurant, so what better place to go than to one of those?
✮ You made sure to make a reservation for 5 since you wanted all 4 of them to experience the amazing food
✮ The five of you sat patiently in the waiting area, Adam and Eve talking to each other while You, Abel, and Caine fooled around
✮ Thankfully, the three of you weren’t fooling around too much so yall didn’t get in trouble by Dadam
✮ Finally, your name gets called and all of you follow the waitress
✮ You all order your drinks and you happily explain the menu to all of them, wanting to make sure they actually order what they want
✮ After you guys ordered, the chef quickly rolls in with a happy smile, greeting all of you
✮ You sit quietly, excitedly waiting for the flames to watch your family’s reaction
✮ Your expectations were meet as all of them looked surprised by the tall flames the chef had done in front of all of you
✮ You even let out a small laugh of your own as you found it amusing like many others
✮ Adam happily kept up with the small talk from the chef while you, Caine, and Abel talked about the flames
✮ Suddenly, the chef holds up the familiar squirt bottle towards you, offering you some
✮ Your family looks at him confused, clearly not understanding what was going on
✮ You on the other hand, immediately caught on to what was happening
✮ You smiled and happily opened your mouth, accepting the offer as the Chef immediately begins to pour into your mouth
✮ This left all of them even more confused
✮ You explained to all of them that it was just sake, that it wasn’t anything bad
✮ Caine and and Abel immediately wanted a try as well, finding it fun
✮ Adam told them they couldn’t since he didn’t want his children drink alcohol
✮ He even told you tha as much fun as that looked, you shouldn’t be drinking alcohol
✮ Obviously, you respected his wishes and didn’t drink any more that night
✮ Although they seemed to be happily enjoying the food the entire time as you all talked amongst each other
✮ They enjoyed it and would 100% go back and do it again
✮ You already know he’s gone to one of those places at least once in his afterlife
✮ So even though he’d already gone, he hadn’t gone with YOU
✮ So you thought it would be a sweet date considering the food was something you both loved
✮ You both happily wait in the waiting area, happily talking about whatever thing came to mind
✮ The conversation never stayed the same between you two as you both had been around each other too much to the point you all got too comfortable around each other
✮ While you guys waited, it began to seem quite obvious just how many times he’d already been here before
✮ It seemed like everyone working in that restaurant seemed to know your boyfriend
✮ You stare as every hibachi chef and waiter/ess walks to up say a quick hello
✮ Soon your name gets called and you both follow the waitress to your seats
✮ The moment you both sit down, you both already know what you want and you order your meal and your drinks at the same time
✮ The moment your chef showed up, him and Sasaki quickly got into a conversation
✮ Obviously, Sasaki made sure you were involved in the conversation as well since he didn’t want you feeling left out on your own date
✮ At some point, the chef managed to convince both of you into a drinking contest and now you and Sasaki were trying to see who could take more and last longer
✮ It was shot after shot after shot with the both of you since you both got really competitive
✮ You all ate that food up though, making sure you weren’t just drinking
✮ In the end, Hrist had to pick you both up since you both were a drunken mess
✮ She scolded you both as she dragged you both out of there before the Chef could convince you both to another round
✮ Although you both ended up drunk by the end of the night, you guys enjoyed the date
✮ He generously thank you in the morning for planning a date for the both of you
✮ You had wanted to take Jack out on a date for a while, wanting to pay him back considering he was the one that did most of the planning for any date you both had
✮ You wanted to change that for once
✮ You had wanted to take him to hibachi thanks to Sasaki’s suggestion
✮ Good thing you knew a good one nearby
✮ You had even called ahead to make a reservation, wanting to make sure you both could sit down in a decent amount of time
✮ You surprised Jack with the date as you got to the restaurant and sat down in the waiting area
✮ Jack kept insisting that there was no need for you to do this, that he enjoyed planning dates for both of you
✮ You kept brushing him off, trying to convince him that even he needed a bit of pampering once in a while
✮ Finally the waitress called you over as you both followed her to your seats
✮ He looked at the giant grill with a raised brow, not expecting for our table to have a grill in front of it
✮ You had to explain to him that they made the food in front of you
✮ Jack was intrigued to say the least
✮ Nevertheless, you both ordered your drinks and you took the time to explain the menu to him
✮ Once you both finally figured out what you were going to eat, you ordered your food and waited for the chef to show up
✮ Once he did, all three of you got into a lovely conversation as conversation as the chef began setting up
✮ You tried your best to seem calm, waiting for the big fire to see your boyfriends reaction
✮ Jack could already tell something was off with you
✮ I mean, your color just kept changing
✮ He finally understood what seemed to be making your colors change as he chef causes a huge fire
✮ You look at him with a smile, telling him it’s normal
✮ While you talk to Jack, the chef suddenly holds up a squirt bottle towards you, like he was offering some to you
✮ Jack only looked at you, raising a brow at the liquid
✮ You smiled at the chef, saying something along the lines of “one wouldn’t hurt” before opening your mouth
✮ The chef happily begins shooting the liquid into your mouth
✮ You pull away with a laugh, swallowing the liquid
✮ You tell Jack about the sake in the bottle, asking him if he would want some as well
✮ Jack looks at the bottle for a moment before offering a small smile, politely declining
✮ The chef only shrugs before placing the bottle back on his cart before continuing both of your meals
✮ While Jack told you it was alright if you wanted to drink more, you declined and told him you weren’t really in a mood for drinking
✮ But you both happily munched on the food, Jack complimenting every piece of food he tried
✮ Overall you both had an amazing date, so much Jack even said he’d love to come back again in the future!
✮ You can’t even plan a date there anymore
✮ He goes there so often to the point the restaurant already knows you two by full legal name
✮ I headcanon that him, Sasaki, and Okita go there together a lot
✮ Literally the moment you two walk in there, everyone walks up to both of you to greet you
✮ That’s how popular you both were
✮ You both were like regulars at this damn place istg
✮ Every chef, bartender, and water/ess knows both of your guys orders too so yall don’t even have to order anymore
✮ Literally starts a conversation with everyone and anyone as he shoves food into his face
✮ Don’t even get me started on the alcohol
✮ Never leaves without getting stupid drunk
✮ Always manages to piss you off just enough to make you join him and everyone else in a drinking game
✮ At this point, you wonder why you allow yourself to continue to get rage baited by this man everyday
✮ You always regret it the next morning whenever you get into a drinking competition with him
✮ Your lucky your already dead because your sure you’d die from alcohol poisoning with just how much you consume
✮ Honestly, it’s not even a date anymore
✮ It’s just a party that everyone in the restaurant just happens to be invited to
✮ Although, you’d be lying if you said you didn’t enjoy it yourself whenever you go out to eat
✮ He may be a pain in the ass, he’s a fun pain in the ass that you happen to love
✮ Okay, you had to plan the date secretly
✮ Because there was no way this man would allow you to plan ANYTHING on his watch
✮ Why would you stress or that when he has a bunch of servants to do it all FOR you?
✮ Anyways, you thankfully managed to make a reservation for the both of you at your favorite hibachi restaurant
✮ You’re pretty sure he’s never been to one? As far as you’ve seen
✮ Maybe once but his emperor duties keep him pretty busy so he usually doesn’t go out to eat much
✮ Also since his chefs basically cook anything and everything for him
✮ Getting him there was a lot easier than you thought
✮ You just told him you wanted to try this new restaurant and he pretty much agreed to it almost immediately
✮ When you got there, you were surprised by how empty it was
✮ Only to find out this motherfucker rented the entire building💔
✮ Turns out, he found out about your little ‘date’ and decided to add his own mix as well
✮ So basically, you made that reservation for absolutely no reason💔
✮ While you were disappointed on there not being much of a crowd so you and Qin could enjoy other people company, you were glad you wouldn’t have to deal with long wait times
✮ Thankfully though, the workers didn’t seem to mind at all and happily served the both of you
✮ You were grateful you know all of them so it wasn’t as awkward with all the talk between the three of you
✮ He kept insisting you get the entire menu
✮ Dude you already rented the entire place, their food portions are already massive enough for just one dish
✮ How the HELL does he expect you to finish every god damn thing?
✮ You told him to take it down a notch and chill because there was now way
✮ You guys only took a couple sake shots and a few other shots
✮ Nothing too out of control but just enough drinking to where it’s acceptable
✮ He may have sabotaged the date YOU planned
✮ But in the end, you couldn’t admit with just how much fun you had the entire night
✮ Okay, third times the charm. Hopefully, it saves this time or else I’m leaving his blank💔
✮(I did this on my notes app because I was afraid it was going to happen again💔)
✮ You thought it would be a nice change of scenery to take your lovely boyfriend out to an actual restaurant for an actual date
✮ I mean, don’t get me wrong—you loved your at home dates where it’s just the two of you having dinner and him basically basically forgetting about his work for a date
✮ But you thought it was time to try something new
✮ You thought it would be a nice change to take him to your favorite hibachi restaurant since you were sure he never experienced it before
✮ Since he was always too busy with his work to pretty much do anything else
✮ You called to make the reservation , not even bothering to keep it a secret
✮ I mean, you could literally call the restaurant in front of him and he still have no idea that you were planning a date
✮ Now while making the reservation was easy peasy….getting him to the date was another issue…
✮ I mean, getting him out of his lab to do literally anything was already a struggle in itself
✮ So getting him out for a surprise date?
✮ Yeah your gonna have to drag him out of his lab
✮ And that’s exactly what you did
✮ Without a single word, you walked into his lab while he was in the middle of some paperwork and simply grabbed him by the sleeve of his coat and dragged him out
✮ He’s just staring at you like ??
✮ He doesn’t even realize what’s going on UNTIL he finally realizes where you guys are going and how pretty you looked
✮ You walked into the restaurant and sat him down in one of the waiting chairs while you went to go check in
✮ You’re literally just treating him like a dog lowkey??
✮ He’s just sat there with a smile, not exactly sure how he’s supposed to react
✮ Finally you walk back and sit down next to him, casually staring a conversation with him as if you didn’t just drag him out of his work and treat him like a dog
✮ Anyways, you both finally get called and you follow the waitress to your table
✮ Nikola stares in confusion as he notices the table is like 90% grill and 10% actual table
✮ You both sit down and you order both of your drinks
✮ Look at you being a good girlfriend and already knowing you boyfriends drink order
✮ You have to help him out with the menu though since they are a little bit confusing
✮ Especially if it’s your first time
✮ You both happily get into a conversation once he finally got over his confusion as you talk about the menu
✮ Once you both decided what you wanted, you called over the waitress and ordered your food
✮ He was about to find out why exactly there was a grill in the middle of the table
✮ Your chef quickly showed up and began setting up
✮ The three of you talked while he set up
✮ A large smile forms on Nikola’s face once he realized what was going on
✮ They cook the food in front of you!
✮ You noticed the chef getting ready to do his usual fire trick as you looked over at Nikola with a sweet smile, wanting to see how he reacted
✮ And he gave you the exact reaction you wanted
✮ He stared at the flames in awe at the sudden burst
✮ Immediately begins to nerd out about it and explains the science behind how the chef did the trick
✮ You simply stare at Nikola with a sweet smile and listen to whatever he was saying
✮ Like yes my nerdy boyfriend, please continue to tell me how this was possible even though I have no idea what your saying
✮ Chef is just staring at you both like ??
✮ Either way, you both happily dig into the food as it’s being served
✮ The chef holds up a familiar squirt bottle towards you and you accept
✮ Nikola looks at you with a surprised expression as he sees him squirt the liquid into your mouth
✮ You look over at him and explain that it was just sake
✮ The chef offers him some but he politely declines
✮ He’s just there for the food and for you
✮ Either way though, he enjoyed the date and the change of scenery more than he expected
✮ While the date was unexpected, he enjoyed it nonetheless
✮ Planning a date with this man is NOT an easy task, I’ll tell you that
✮ He is like either super difficult about it or could give two flying shits
✮ Like he just wanted to enjoy reading a good book in his hammock with his wine, cheese, and beautiful girlfriend by his side
✮ But YOU wanted to have an actual date with him
✮ So since he definitely wasn’t going to plan it, you had to do it yourself
✮ You don’t want it to be too fancy since you kinda just wanted to go out and get food
✮ Thankfully, you knew just the place for that
✮ You placed the reservation for the two of you and soon after walked up to him and told him to get his lazy ass off his damn hammock
✮ He just stared at you with a cigar in his mouth as usual
✮ You basically had to just straight up tell him that you planned a date for the both of you
✮ Very reluctantly and with a lot of attitude
✮ Okay date hasn’t even started and he’s already pissing you off
✮ Anyways, after managing to get to the restaurant, you quickly check in for your reservation before the two of you sit in the waiting area
✮ Got told to please not smoke inside💔
✮ Did NOT give a flying fuck💔
✮ You profusely apologized to all the workers before forcing him to put that shit out
✮ Finally called your name and you dragged him behind you as you followed the waitress
✮ Asked why the fucking table was just a fucking grill
✮ You’re never taking this man out ever again
✮ You have to explain to him that it’s there because they cooked the food in front of you
✮ Anyways you both order your drinks and your food as you finally get some decent talk outta him
✮ Finally your chef comes up and begins his small talk with you two as he begins to set up
✮ You say patiently, waiting for the chef to do his big fire trick to see Leonidas reaction to it
✮ Only to be mildly disappointed??
✮ I mean the only reaction you got outta him was just a raised brow but that’s about it
✮ I don’t think he’s really much of a sake guy himself
✮ Maybe do a couple just because you want him to do it with you but he seems more like a fancy wine—maybe whiskey type of person
✮ Doesn’t drink too crazy or anything, just enough to feel the buzz
✮ Heavier smoker than he is drinker that’s for sure
✮ But he had to admit, he did enjoy the date a lot more than he thought
✮ And he enjoyed the food
✮ Not just eating it, but watching it get cooked in front of him
✮ Overall it really wasn’t that bad of a date
✮ He goes with Sasaki, Kondou, and Raiden often
✮ Most frequently goes with the Shinsengumi though since they are very big on the food
✮ So while planning to go there maybe wasn’t all that of a surprise for him, you’d wanted the chance to go there with your boyfriend
✮ Without any of his friends
✮ You thankfully managed to get a reservation just in time
✮ You honestly didn’t even try to keep it a secret
✮ You just walked up to him and were like
✮“Yo, we’re going on a date to that hibachi restaurant you guys like, get ready”
✮ Bros like okay and yall are on your merry way
✮ You both get to the restaurant and you check in while he’s practically beaming
✮“Like what do you mean my awesome girlfriend wanted to go on a date to my favorite hibachi place?”
✮ The bartender quickly goes over to say hello to him before going back to work
✮ You have a popular boyfriend I guess
✮ Anyways you both finally get called as you were lead by the waitress to your table
✮ You both ordered you drinks and meals since it was clear you’d both been there enough times to not even need the menu anymore
✮ Your chef makes his way over to you two as he begins preparing to grill
✮ The three of you engage in a fun conversation as you watched him to his usual tricks
✮ No matter how many times you’ve seen them, you’re still left in awe
✮ You two do end up participating in a couple sake shots
✮(Is he even old enough to drink??? I’m just gonna say he is and hope I’m right💔)
✮ Nothing too crazy since you mainly just went for the food
✮ He made a ton of jokes, pretty much taking up most of the talking as you ate
✮ You lowkey had to make sure he wasn’t talking and chewing because you didn’t want him to choke
✮ But you both overall had a great time and ate up as much food as your heart—
✮ Now who wouldn’t take this absolute cutie out of a date?
✮ Like you’re telling me you wouldn’t eat to spoil this sweet man everyday of the week?
✮(Can yall tell who my favorite is at the moment?)
✮ Anyways, you thought it would be a nice change of scenery to go to a different restaurant than the one you two usually go to
✮ The idea of him reacting to the food being cooked right in front of you guys was just funny
✮ You manage to make a reservation for just the two of you
✮ Well, you asked if you could take Kille (is that even the dogs name?? I don’t remember it ever being mentioned in the manga? I don’t even know if it’s a boy or a girl but we’ll just go with this for now)
✮ The lady in the other end of the phone gladly accepted her since she was The White Death’s dog
✮ And who would say no to that pretty face?
✮(I’m talking about Simo and the dog here guys)
✮ After making the reservation AND making sure Kille was welcomed, you simply told Simo straight up
✮ You just told him you had a date planned for you both and he accepted
✮ You, Simo, and Kille happily made your way to the new restaurant
✮ Simo a little confused as to why you’d want to change ya’ll usual date spot but he never questioned it
✮ Once the three of you were inside, you checked in for your reservation before sitting back down with Simo and Kille
✮ You obviously carried the bulk of the conversation as you seemed to yap about whatever came to mind
✮ Simo just sits there, listening to you speak
✮ Kille is just sitting on the floor
✮ Minding her business like the good girl she was
✮ Finally your name gets called at your both seated at your tables
✮ Simo raised a brow, clearly confused as to why there was a giant grill in the middle of your table
✮ You only smile and brush it off before sitting down next to each other
✮ You happily take the time to help him out with the menu
✮ Since he wanted to be able to get food he could share with Kille
✮ He even got her her own drink☹️
✮ Although, he quickly learned why the grill is there once you two have ordered and he sees a man dressed as a chef walk up to your table
✮ You happily engage with the chef, staring up at nice conversation while Simo listened in most of the time
✮ When you noticed the chef getting ready for his fire trick, you quickly looked over at Simo to get his reaction
✮ He was slightly startled
✮ Only because he just wasn’t expecting it like most people do their first time going
✮ Now Kille on the other hand…
✮ Like she jumped up and had a defensive stance towards the flames
✮ She didn’t cause a scene she was just startled by the big sudden fire
✮ After that thought, you both happily enjoyed the food and the chefs company
✮ The chef even asked you if yall wanted sake shots
✮ You only did a few, not wanting to overdo anything
✮ Simo politely declined and just happily ate his food
✮ Overall just enjoyed the vibes and how welcoming everyone seemed to be towards the three of you
✮ Similar to Raiden, he’s there with Buddha a lot already
✮ Like the workers also know him by name and order
✮ He wanted to go out for dinner when you mentioned a date with him
✮ And he suggested the hibachi restaurant
✮ So technically the date was his idea if you really think about it
✮ You both show up and the second the hostess sees him, she already puts his name on the waitlist
✮ You just stare at him slightly confused
✮ And concered because how often do you have to come to a restaurant for them to already have your name down before you even have the chance to walk in??
✮ Like she literally saw him through one of the windows and immediately recognized who that was
✮ They take being regulars a WHOLE new level
✮ At least the wait wasn’t that long because it only took like at most 10 minutes before his name was called
✮ You both barely got the chance to sit Dow because almost all the chefs walked up to say hello to him
✮ Okay what the fuck guys
✮ Finally you both sit down and you noticed you both didn’t have any menus
✮ Before you had a chance to speak up about it, the waitress asks him if he wanted his usual
✮ Sakata only grins and nods at her
✮ Thankfully, you already knew what you wanted since you’ve been here before
✮ Not like certain PEOPLE who show up so often they might as well live here too
✮ Lowkey had the chefs fighting over who would serve you two
✮ Finally one of them walked over (after winning and the other chefs glaring daggers at him) and began setting up while getting into a conversation with you two
✮ Doesn’t drink AS much as Raiden
✮ Just a couple since he also doesn’t seem like much of a drinker himself
✮ Also wanted to take a couple sake shots with you since you also liked doing at least a couple
✮ Even shared a bit of his food with you
✮ Even though you two got pretty much the same thing
✮ Overall, happy girlfriend, happy Sakata
✮ Alright now this wasn’t even supposed to be considered a date
✮ You two were just hungry and that happened to be the closest thing nearby
✮ He admitted he’d never been to one himself but had always wanted to try it
✮ Well perfect thing this happened to be one you liked to go to so you recommended him a few items he’d maybe like to try
✮ When you both got there, you were grateful it wasn’t as full as it usually was
✮ You still had to wait for a little bit thought💔
✮ You two just messed around in the waiting area before your name was called
✮ He lowkey got the same thing you did since he was too indecisive about what he wanted
✮ And yours sounded good too
✮ Once you ordered, the chef quickly came by and began working his magic
✮ Nostradamus stared at the flames in awe as the chef cooked
✮ He also doesn’t seem like much of a drinker when you both were offered sake shots
✮ He tried it and enjoyed the method of shot
✮ Drinking just wasn’t his forte
✮ You guys enjoyed your meal though
✮ He kept stealing your food even though you both got the same thing??
✮ Gave you the excuse that yours looked better
✮ I mean great date and all but little shit needs to learn to keep his hands to himself?
Hey guys, sorry if the Nikola Tesla section seems very half–assed. But that’s because it lowkey kinda was. He lowkey kinda pissed me off because all the work I’d done for him (that I was actually cooking with) disappeared right after I pressed the save button and NONE of his progress saved💔 I was just tryna pass the time at a Christmas Eve party so I could open presents. So as much as I like Nikola Telsa (my silly lil guy) he kinda pissed me off💔
