  When he felt a presence behind him, he briefly glanced over his shoulder before returning to what he was doing. Dante seemed to almost be in a dazed, as if bored. Clearing his throat softly, Ryan decided to break the silence. "I suppose it would be a wise decision to know a little more about my...fiancé. Do you cook Dante?"
When he hesitantly uttered the word, it didn't have as much bite as he thought it would. He had thought it out in his mind, but have never actually called Dante that out loud. It was weird to say, but it didn't make him want to retch dramatically like he thought he would. Labels were never really a big concern for him.
Turning around, he set down two plates on the table Dante was sitting at, one in front of the other while he set one down across from him where Ryan himself would sit. He waited for an answer as he sat down himself, his elbow resting on the table as he leaned his head against his palm. His violet blue eyes watch the other as he made himself comfortable and removed his headphones, hoping that they could carry on at least a little bit of conversation. It would be pointless if they could only sit in silence around each other. Perhaps becoming friends in this situation was best? Hating each other did not good for either of the party. And although he wouldn't admit it to anyone, he was actually a little curious about the one he was to be living with from now on. They never met before really, so how they were to be getting along was a mystery. If they had been friends before this, would things be different?

  Dante blinked, not expecting Ryan to ask anything. Dante gave a kind smile and sat up straighter, meeting the blonde's eyes. "No, I don't cook. But, to be honest, I am interested in learning." Dante felt his cheeks heat in embarrassment. He cleared a little and ran a hand through his hair.
"What made you take interest in cooking?" Dante asked as he sat back in his chair again. He had to admit, being able to just talk was nice. Plus, they did need to get to know each other. The only things Dante knew about Ryan at this moment was 1) he was the heir to the Damascus name and the only child and 2) he liked to swim and apparently cook. Dante needed to know more about his fiance if they were to even get close to getting along.
He realized that maybe there was a chance they could get along, although he wasn't sure how slim or not that chance was but honestly, he didn't care. He wanted this to work, both for the sanity of him and Ryan as well as at least bring peace to their families.

Ryan was relieved that he was a able to successfully start a conversation, his gaze turning to the ceiling as he thought about his answer. He couldn't remember why he started cooking or even when. Perhaps he just wanted to learn so he didn't disturb his parents while they were working. Turning his gaze back to Dante, he opened his mouth again to give his response. "I suppose it would be because I didn't want to trouble my parents. They had a lot to deal with as it is, so I figured that if I learned to take care of myself at least, I wouldn't become a burden to them."
He looked away again to think of something else to say before his gaze returned again and a small smirk formed on his lips. It was really rare for the young man to really show any emotion other than disinterest, but he was going to try to at least seem like a normal person for once.
If he wanted things to work, he needed to be opened to the changes that will surely be happening. He wouldn't always be able to swim for hours on end because he needed to give some of his time to his fiancé as well as his work now. He couldn't do things while just thinking of his own family anymore, because he was now carrying Dante's family name on his shoulders. They entrusted their son and their family to him, he needed to respect them both properly. "As for cooking, I can always show you how if you would like? It might be a wise choice in case there are days I cannot come home in time to make a proper meal. I wouldn't want to leave you without something to eat. I could always make lunch and breakfast in advance, but making a dinner so early before I go wouldn't taste as good as something fresh."

Dante smiled at his fiance's answer. It made sense to want to be able to take care of yourself so parents could worry about other things. It was why he had taken to staying outside for hours, he was allowing his parents the space they needed to deal with any issues. He was slightly amazed when Ryan offered to teach him how to cook. It would be a nice skill for him to learn. Dante returned the blonde's smirk with a smile of his own.
"If you could teach me, that would be great. Plus it'll help on your side as well in case you come home late from work, I could something prepared for you." And that was true, Dante was sure if Ryan came home late and tired from work, there was a slim chance he would show an interest in cooking something. It would make it easier on Ryan to not have to worry about cooking when he came home.
Despite knowing he wouldn't be able to always sit under his new tree in the yard, a part of Dante kind of looked forward to the time Ryan and the black haired male would be spending together. So far, they seemed to be getting along just fine, having a pleasant conversation during lunch. Dante had been worried it would either be drenched in awkward silence or they would've gotten into a yelling and blame match for the whole situation. It put Dante at ease that him and his fiance could talk like this.

It being his turn to be amazed, Ryan nod as he took a bite of his food. He was a little surprised that Dante offered to actually make him something to eat for when he came home late. He honestly thought that Dante would want to care mainly for himself, not act as a doting wife and have dinner ready for Ryan when he came home. After swallowing his chewed up bite, Ryan sighs as he rest his cheek on his hand, his gaze stopping on his fiancé.
Dante was a bot of a mystery he had to admit, and it was becoming a breath of fresh air compared to the predictable people that Ryan always came across. "I would enjoy that, thank you for your consideration on my behalf."
For someone that looked more like a troublemaker, Dante seemed to be more thoughtful and careful on his words and his actions like Ryan was. Not very many people could be around Ryan for long since he could be intimidating with his blank stare and emotionless tone. "As weird strange as it may sound, perhaps this arrangement could be good for us in terms in growth. I often do not get along well with others since I do not like time wasted so perhaps a close relationship would be good for me to become more acquainted with how to speak to others properly."

Dante chuckled at his fiance's surprise. He knew he looked like a punk, it was just his style. But his parents had taught him, even in a situation he doesn't like, to help where he can. He didn't mind cooking for Ryan, it was nice that the other male appreciated that. "Well, we're in this together so I might as well help pull my weight around here. Since you work, that leaves cooking and cleaning to me."
Dante tilted his head when the blonde male said this relationship could be good for them. It was true that Dante usually kept to himself, avoiding the spotlight as much as he could. But Ryan was right, this would help both of them in the future. "I can understand that, I don't enjoy being put in the spotlight. I'd rather either be sitting in a window, looking outside or be outside. I've never been the social type. Of course, most people won't talk to a young male who looks like a total punk." Dante smirked and chuckled, taking another bite of his food. He had to admit, Ryan was a very good cook.
"So other than swimming, what are some of your interests?" the black haired male asked as he sat back in his chair, his hands resting on the table as he steadily met Ryan's gaze.

Holding back a chuckle, Ryan nod in understanding. People often did judge by appearance. Others often thought Ryan was a playboy that was charming and kind but when he spoke like he did and show little interest in things, others often thought he was just being stuck up. He couldn't help that they were uninteresting to him. it has been a long time since something last interested him, but recently, it seemed he found something, or someone of interest.
Snapping out of his thoughts, he looked up again at his fiancé and then looked away to think. Interests seemed to be a popular topic today. With a small sigh, Ryan lifted one of his ear buds to show it to Dante. "I suppose I enjoy music. I play the violin and piano often when I am not swimming, working or sleeping. Other than that, I do not have interest in much else."
Sighing again at this, Ryan looked down, his head resting on his hand again as he dropped the headphone. "I am rather dull I guess you could say. There isn't much that is interesting about me nor is there much I am interested in. Many say that I am too arrogant, perhaps they are right about that." What he said next, he said quietly as if expressing his thoughts. "Although...recently, there is something of interest to me..." Looking up at Dante, his grows quiet again for a moment, merely watching him as if it would help him read the other's mind. But because he was told before that his gaze was intimidating, he looked back down. "And you? Do you have any interests?"

Dante listened as Ryan spoke, feeling rather jealous when the blonde said he could play piano. That was a skill that no matter how hard he tried, Dante couldn't seem to get the hang of it. The black haired male stopped and focused on his fiance when Ryan's voice seemed to get quiet. Did the blonde really say that he was dull?
Dante had to disagree with him, Ryan agreeing to this and the whole ordeal so far between them had been interesting, even if it was kind of uncomfortable. Dante slightly tilted his head when he heard Ryan say that something new had interested him then paused when he was asked the same interests question.
"Well, my biggest interest is just nature, honestly. The sound of the wind and animals has always intrigued me. I can't seem to play any instruments, never could get the hang of it. I sometimes do swim, although I'll stay clear of the pool during your time in there. I can be a bit of a prankster but I'm too antisocial to really do anything." Now it was Dante's turn to lower his eyes. He was even more dull than what Ryan thought he was. He avoided a lot of things because it would put him in the spotlight. He looked up again and asked, What is this new thing that has your attention now? I'm curious to hear about it."

Looking over at Dante, he listened carefully, his interest in the other growing a little more and more. He could see the other's interest in nature from the window in the pool room earlier. He would have mentioned it, but he decided to just keep that little bit of information to himself. It might of been weird to look at someone through your window, he didn't know. Ryan usually was confused as to what was respectable and what wasn't. "You can enter the pool when I am there, I do not mind. It just calms me is all so I like to be in there. Everyone that knows of the habit calls me a fish...I guess I can hold my breath under water for an unnaturally long time."
Taking a bite of his sandwich again, he listened to Dante talk more. It was good for them to talk so comfortably around each other, it was probably going to help in the future. When Dante ask his next question, Ryan was done with his sandich and was about to take his plate to the sink, but paused. He gave a surprisingly secretive yet kind smile next that his parents would have wanted to catch a picture of just to have the proof it happened. "I will let you know when I have decided how interesting I find it." With that, he stood and went over to the sink and began to wash off his plate. "Moving on to another topic, there is a celebration ball that my parents mentioned in a message earlier. It will be a engagement ball thrown for us at the Damascus manor next week. " After drying the plate off, he set it in the dish rack before looking over at Dante while drying his hands. "You'll be my date of course so I will make sure to have an outfit prepared for you before the event if you do not already have one. It is rather formal so a suit would be preferred. Our parents are making the preparations together so you'll go, won't you?"

Dante stopped and looked up at Ryan when the ball was mentioned. Ryan was kidding, right? There really wasn't going to be an engagement party for them, right? The black haired male just sighed as he saw the truth in the blonde's eyes. Quickly finishing his sandwich, Dante stood and proceeded to wash his plate as well.
"Of course I'll go, it'll look really bad if one of us doesn't show up. But don't expect me to really talk to anyone, I've never been very comfortable in a social setting." Dante dried his plate then his hands, setting the dish towel aside. A week was what he had to mentally prepare himself for the party. It might not be that bad though. He'd have his parents and Ryan there to shoo people away when he was done talking for a while. Dante stopped when that thought occurred to him. He hadn't realized but over the course of their lunch, Dante had become deeply interested in the blonde.
He shook his head and smiled, chuckling a little. There was still a lot of daylight to kill, maybe they could do something to pass the time. "Shall we do something to pass the time? It's still only early afternoon, we can do anything you'd like."

Watching as Dante washed his plate, Ryan leaned against the counter. Him and Dante seemed to have their antisocial tenancies in common then. The taller male usually stayed in the corners of the room as everyone else giggled and gossiped. It just wasn't his style...being in a crowd of people. "Don't worry, if you just stick around me, you won't have to speak to anyone. I often intimidate others so they do not approach me on their own."
Thinking it over, Ryan looked down at his watch. They did have some time, but what they should do, he was completely unsure of the answer. He didn't spend much time out of work or the pool. "We could go walking around the property, there is a nice view in the back of a waterfall, if we have time before dinner after that, I can show you around the basic areas of the home or maybe even teach you how to play the piano since you said you couldn't get the hang of it." It was the best he could come up with so far, but somehow, he wanted to have the abilities to talk with Dante more. For Ryan who didn't have the opportunity to talk to others very often, it was a nice change of pace. "Since you are new to the area, I will leave the choice up to you instead. I make decision most of the time with work, it might be interesting to see someone else do the deciding for a change. "

Upon hearing about the waterfall, Dante's face lit up like a kid in a candy store. He absolutely loved the beauty of flowing waterfalls and streams. "Can we go to the waterfall? I'd love to see more of the property too. It's really beautiful here." Dante felt his cheeks heat up, he must look like an idiot right now. He looked at him, still blushing a little.
"I'd really like to go see the waterfall, if that's ok. And I'd love to have you teach me how to play piano, it's a skill I've always wanted." He smiled kind of shyly and ran a hand through his hair, just waiting on the blonde's answer now.

The other's reaction surprised Ryan, but when he regained his composure, he watched as the other blushed. It was a different expression that the one the other had been showing since he had arrived. But it was at least something. Smiling softly, even if only for a second, Ryan holds out his hand as he pushed away from the counter. "Come, I'll show it to you then and after, we can play the piano in the music room."
e was glad that Dante found an interest int he waterfall. It was one of his favorite places in the home and he often swam in the small river it produced when he felt like being in fresh water instead of chlorinated. And on top of that, the other took an interest in his offer to teach him how to play, which also pleased him. Despite his anti-social, all business type of personality, his father always said that sometimes he gave the impression that he was a very patient teacher. Although his voice lacked interest, he was kind and patient with whoever he was showing something at work and explained it rather well in a way the person would understand. "And while we are at the waterfall, you can decide what you would like for dinner. I can also teach you a few things in that as well when it comes time to make it."

Dante smiled softly, stopping as Ryan held out his hand, Would be weird if Dante took his hand? He wasn't sure but for now, they were alone. He grabbed Ryan's hand, smiling wide. He was glad to hear that Ryan was gonna teach him how to play piano and how to cook.
"Thanks, now let's stop wasting daylight and get going. I'll think about dinner on the way." Dante grabbed his coat, slipping it on before following the blonde again. He wasn't sure how warm it was outside but he could always just take the coat off and leave it if need be.
The sound of the breeze and a few birds were the first things Dante heard when they went outside and he stopped, closing his eyes for moment and just enjoyed the sounds before hurrying after Ryan. "Thanks for lunch, by the way. That was really good. So, uh...." Dante wasn't sure what to ask the taller male. He wanted to get to know him but he also didn't want to pry into something Ryan didnt want to share. "How old were you when you learned piano? I started trying to learn when I was eight but back and even now, the leassons just don't click and I can't play."
