What?

[The safest topic, until something homemade comes up. Peter making something??? For him?? What.]

I- If you want?

[heyunderoos]

I mean, I like cooking. I like you, so, I wanna cook for you. [He smiles back at Leo.] Have you ever had latkes?

[neonleon]

Iiii cannot say I have, what are lotkeys?

[heyunderoos]

[A small huff of laughter escapes Peter at how Leo pronounces it, but he doesn't seem bothered by it.]

It's a Jewish dish, deep-fried potato discs. I like making them. I learned how to make them from my uncle when I was like- a lot younger.

[neonleon]

Oh. Neat.

[Things he has to google later: pronunciation, probably.]

Yeah, I'd love to try 'em.

[heyunderoos]

They're really good. Like... the crunchiest part of french fries. [He's trying to find a good comparison to make the connection easier.]

I tend to make a lot of them usually, so, I think it'd be fun.

[neonleon]

Hey, you don't have to sell it to me, just knowing it's something you wanna share is plenty.

[A beat.


Oh crap he said that part out loud.

FUCK IT, HE'S OWNING IT.]

[heyunderoos]

Oh- [Peter blinks a little, before smiling brightly at Leo. His accident rewards him fairly immediately.] Thanks. I'm just- excited to share with you.

[neonleon]

Annnnd is it embarrassing or endearing if I say I wanna have whatever you wanna share?

[heyunderoos]

[Peter doesn't hesitate to answer honestly, his smile pleased and soft at the edges, smitten.]

Endearing. [The urge to kiss Leo is there again, but he's aware enough to keep it somewhat contained.] I like you, and I want to share a lot with you.

[neonleon]

[It is taking all the willpower in the universe to keep Leo rooted in his seat.]

Then what are waiting for?

[heyunderoos]

[Peter laughs again, excited, happy, smitten, all rolled together into something bright and eager.]

I assumed we were trying to finish the pizza, but- I dunno, we can go- and do something.

[neonleon]

Get it to go, lessgo.

[He's already waving down some poor server Hueso saddled to their table to get boxes. He's got way too much energy now to sit still, he needs to be moving.]

Come on, let's find something to do.

[heyunderoos]

[He polishes off his current slice, the attempt decidedly inelegant and messy, but they need to go. They have to do something. He wipes his hands and face quickly.]

Yeah! Lets- go do something! This is our date!

[neonleon]

Exactly! Not letting someone else dictate this or us.

[HE WILL GET YOU BACK, APRIL. Sunita's only a phone call away.]

We'll find something fun.

[heyunderoos]

Do- do you wanna dance? With me? [The question pops out of him before he can contain it. Both of them have so much energy and nowhere to put it just yet.]

[neonleon]

[He stops putting their leftovers in a box to stare at Peter for a second. then slowly smiles and nods.]

Yeah. Yeah, definitely. I think I know a spot.

[heyunderoos]

[Peter nods in turn, happy and relieved all at once. He had no real plan, but the idea of dancing with Leo is genuinely enticing.]

Good, because I'm- kind of blanking on where we could go. I just, want this a lot. All of this.

[neonleon]

Don't worry, Leon's got it.

[Oh he's already got the plan worked out in his head, where to go, what music to play, how to listen to it- It's all working out in his mind. Just have to hope he doesn't fuck it uuuup.

He stands up, one hand holding Peter's and calls out.] Hueso, April's paying for this so send her the bill! I'll send you her venmo! [Then back to Peter.] Let's get outta here.

[heyunderoos]

[Peter easily moves out of the booth with Leo, clinging to his hand. He smiles back at Hueso, who looks bemused at the pair.]

Thank you again! [He waves with his free hand before turning his attention to Leo.] Yeah! Lets- go!

[He will fall into step with Leo to head out of Run Of The Mill.]

[neonleon]

[OH THEY ARE LEAVING.

Normally Leo would be ready to portal them somewhere else, but - He kind of wants to enjoy this? They can both get to a rooftop easily, so he waits until they get out into the alleyway and smiles at Peter before nodding up.]

Better view up there.

[heyunderoos]

Yeah, it's- gonna be better soon too. [Thinking about Leo dancing with him is definitely making him go pink again.

With reluctance he lets go of Leo's hand, moving to just climb the wall with ease. The alley is dark and it's only the two of them, so he doesn't hesitate to just go up.]

[neonleon]

[Leo smiles watching that before he starts making his way up with his lil ninja hops and climbing, keeping that pizza perfectly balanced, because he does have the skwills to do it.

Once they're up top, he's looking around checking location before motioning for Peter to follow. A few more rooftops, going a little higher.]

[heyunderoos]

[Is it risky to do this out of costume? Definitely. Not that the thought even occurs to Peter. He's smitten, he's over his head in wanting to just see where they are going.

He follows with ease, quick and nimble. His flannel shirt flaps behind him with each big hop and skip after his boyfriend.]

[neonleon]

[Once they're a couple levels higher, some business building that's empty this time of night, Leo smiles. Sets the box down and gets his phone out to flip through his music collection. Gets some boppy dance tune going with a good bass and holds sets the phone down on top of the pizza box before holding his hand out for Peter.]

C'mon.
