"Er. Of course you should stay," he said, regaining his composure. He felt a little out of his element, being on a date with someone he was more accustomed to supervising. And it was somewhat embarrassing to realize that Rasu now knew that Mizuki was the sort of person who needed to be set up on blind dates to begin with.
He quietly reminded himself that they were both in the same boat.
"...And how do you know Mari?"
no subject
But it looked like they had agreement to stay and enjoy it anyway. Perfect, because Rasu was hungry and really didn't feel like going off and having to eat by himself. Besides, maybe the bonding time would be good for them, get them on friendlier terms that would make it easier to work together.
"We're childhood friends. I've known her like ten years now-- maybe eleven. Yeah, I think it's eleven now. Anyway, I kind of followed her into the movie industry after she suggested using my martial arts to do the stunt work and fight scenes. What about you? You work together on a movie?"
no subject
"Yes, we did work together on several productions."
Mizuki picked up his cappuccino cup and took a sip. Now that he had gotten over his initial shock, he could see that Rasu had actually made an effort in his attire. The look was quite the improvement from his usual casual wear.
"Does she often ... introduce you to her friends?"
no subject
Was Mizuki suggesting that Mari might find him an embarrassment? That she set him up with every other gay single man she met? Rasu wanted to believe neither was the true spirit of the question.
no subject
He set his cappuccino cup back into its saucer.
"I don't do this sort of thing very much." The admission was said with a touch of chagrin, but he still held himself proudly. Blind dates didn't have to be awkward, even if it wasn't so 'blind' after all.
no subject
"Really? Why not?" He asked, his own pose relaxed and conversational. "I love 'em. Easy way to meet new people and make friends. Or more. More is always cool, too."
no subject
"And besides which, I am far too busy with work, most of the time."
Rasu would know that, from the long hours that Mizuki often put in during productions. Still, for the right guy -- Mizuki would probably make the time. Keeping busy sometimes made him forget that fact.
no subject
At the mention of how busy work kept him, though, Rasu arched an eyebrow.
"People make time for what's really important to them," he pointed out. It was true, work did keep Mizuki very busy, but Rasu was also confident that there was more to it than that. Work could keep him pretty busy, too, when it was his turn on the set. The hours were brutal. But it wasn't impossible.
Instinctively, his tone softened as he continued.
"I don't know you well enough to guess the real reason you tend not to go out and meet people much, but I don't buy that it's your schedule. Not deep down."
no subject
He didn't say he objected to going out or meeting people, but he let that technicality slide for the time being.
"And what do you presume it to be?" he said with an arched eyebrow. Rasu seemed to presume much. Mizuki knew that he wasn't being that transparent.
no subject
"I really don't know why. And it's not my place to guess. I just mean, I know you're really organized and dedicated, so it's strange that time would be a thing to stand in your way."
no subject
He waved his hand to indicate he wasn't offended.
"You don't have to look so apologetic. I should be accustomed to your rather forward approach." He snorted softly and let the matter drop. If Rasu continued to press, Mizuki didn't want to have to admit what he really thought.
"In any case, I'm making the time now. Isn't that what really matters?"
no subject
He also didn't like lingering on things that were uncomfortable, so at the offered opening, he took it.
"Well yeah. It's good to have a break from the set, too. What do you usually like to do when you aren't working?"
no subject
Hm. To be honest, working took up much of Mizuki's time. It was a demanding job and he was a perfectionist, which left little time for other things.
Thus the blind date dilemma."I go to museums, when I can. There's an excellent exhibit on the French Impressionists that just opened at the National Gallery. And cooking. I do that, sometimes."
Mainly because he can be somewhat picky about what he puts in his body. Better to prepare it for yourself, with ingredients where you know their provenance.
no subject
"Oh yeah, like Monet and stuff? I think I heard about that one. Have you been able to go yet?"
Rasu personally didn't have much of an artistic flair, or even a very deep knowledge of art history, but it was hard to get through all your school years without learning a few of the big names.

no subject
And it was pretty plain even without Mizuki's admission that he'd like to return: this was something big for him. The tone in his voice and the look in his eyes. Rasu had to admire that in a way, the people who could get so enamored with fine arts, which he simply didn't have a good attention span for. He could marvel at someone's ability to paint realistically or write the kind of page-turner that made it to a box office adaptation, and that was about it. And that really wasn't fair to the creators of those works. They deserved fans who could properly appreciate all the talent and effort that went into what they did.

"Why? You asking me on a second date already?" He grins. Hey, one good tease deserved another. He might even say yes.
