He nodded, if for no other reason but that the Brit had looked so excited to tell him, a look of eagerness that he'd yet to see on his pale face until now.

Okay this may be rather long...
------------------
"See in 1899 hundreds of boys and girls roamed the streets selling newspapers to get themselves through daily life. Usually the papers would cost about a cent a paper, but the giants owning the New York Sun and the New York World decided that they could charge these kids more to buy the papers and less to sell them. These kids or newsies could barely survive as is, so they decided to go on strike. They stopped the complete selling of newspapers for almost two weeks, many of the children being jailed for stealing food because they now had no money...
Anyway the strike was overall a failure, as the cost was not brought back down, but the companies decided to buy back what the newsies couldn't sell... they pretty much were the start of child labor laws, and its honestly a great story."
He smiled as he recited the history of one of his favorite things in the whole world.

He was silent as he pulled into the small parking lot, pulling down the parking brake. "Nothing I can come up with as a response to that which wouldn't be a non sequitur, other than that you seem to be really into it." It wasn't in a condescending way, he was just stating an observation, a hand falling to play with the knob on his wristwatch, which seemed far too big for him. "Into acting at all?"

"Oh yes. You?" He said.

A self deprecating grin lit up his face, "it depends on what you consider acting." He raised the door, sliding out and circling around to open the passenger side door.

He was rather confused by that statement. Does he mean like voice acting? Who knows.
He followed the german into the restaurant.

Following the waiter that had looked slightly annoyed by their being (Only 10 minutes) late, he took a seat at one side of a booth style table, hand tapping against his jeans.

"Do you know what's good here?" Deryk broke the silence to look up at the redhead.

"I've only been a couple times before, so I haven't gotten a chance to try too much, but the fried rice here is amazing." He reached back to scratch his head, eyes shooting up at the Brit from his menu. "Sorry, I'm out of practice, I haven't actually done anything like this in awhile, so, bear with me." A nervous laugh escaped his mouth at the end of his statement, wringing his hands below the table.

"Whatever you say." He shut his menu and smiled directly into the germans eyes with gaze that could cause any straight man to blush.

Deryk you bad boy
-------------------------
The german's face lit up red, and he ducked back into his menu, damn the brat for being so fucking adorable. "S-so, what are you thinking of getting?" He tried to cover up his slip.

"Maybe a Bento box? Then we can tell what is really good in this place." He said smiling.

"Order whatever you'd like." Ryker was always complaining he never splurged like teenagers should...

"What are you getting then?" He said looking around at the traditional japanese garden themed room.

Conrad answered questions, somewhat halfheartedly, for most of the night, biting hip lip with each stretch of silence that Deryk seemed desperate to fill. It wasn't that the Brit wasn't interesting, or cute, no, we had both traits in abundance, it was that he couldn't help but have a heavy feeling of wrongness settle into his chest every time he got back into the mood and then remembered the watch, or the choker clasped around his neck, engraved setting facing his neck, the words burning into his skin with every swallow.
It wasn't a closed relationship, the fact had been discussed. They were not boyfriends, that had been made obvious.
Why did he care so much all of the sudden?
* * * * * *
"Conrad Bertram and Deryk Dottington to the main office please." Rang the announcer, Conrad, seated in the back of his homeroom class, shot an uneasy glance at Deryk, who was seated at the desk beside him, eyes focused on a book of some sort.
He stood carefully, purposefully avoiding amused glances, ignoring mutters of "Nazi" and "Alien" among other, less savory comments.
