Nathan shook his head. "It's not 'nothing', sweetie. But the people in there are usually really nice, and if they're not today, then they lose a customer!" He declared, kissing Mao's lips again.
"So let's link arms, and the one who lets go first has to - hmmm. What penalty should we have?" he wondered, linkng arm and continuing towards the shop.

"Feed the other... Every single bite of food they take will be fed to him. How about that?" he asked as they reached the shop finally. "It looks like a nice place. I hope it's quiet."

"Excellent. And if we both lost, then we can feed half the cake to each other!" He winked, pushing the door open and keeping his arm firmly in Mao's.
The place was quiet, with only two other customers - both of whom were on stools at the main bar, heaads in their newspapers.
Though when the cashier glanced up, she squealed and beamed at the Angel. "Big Brother Nat-!"
The girl then raced to Nathan to give him a purely sisterly hug.
Nathan kept his arm linked with Mao's and used his free hand to pat her on the back. "Little Sister Prue, meet Mao, my boyfriend."
Prue immediately hugged Mao, still in a sisterly fashion. "It's so great - he finally has a partner!" She told Mao as she stepped back, still beaming at him.

Mao gave her a small smile, though he was a bit shocked at the sudden reaction. "Um.. Hi there," Mao said in a rather low voice. He then sighed and took a moment to gather his thoughts. "You two are too happy for my taste," Mao told them as he loosened his grasp on Nathan. "And noisy. Keep that up and I'll end up with a headache before I even get to work."

Prue shook her head with a sigh. "He has it bad - we can't be mean, Big Brother: you can be like that when in need of your chocolate fix. Worse, even!"
Nathan rolled his eyes. "Who would blame me for that? Hey! Do you have chocolate cake today, and cookies?"
Prue nodded and went to the counter. "We do. How many pieces? How many huge cookies??"
Nathan, arm still wrapped in Maos despite Mao having backed off, started pulling his boyfriend forward. "Three of each, please, and two hot chocolates."
Prue beamed at him a she started getting everything.

Mao then sighed and pulled Nathan closer. "Too noisy," he said again as he looked around the shop. "Shall we sit?"he asked, waiting for Nathan's approval.

Nathan nodded. "If you want quiet we can sit at that table over there..." he murmured, smiling reassuringly at him. "Noisy can be good, honest! But you shouldn't have to deal with it this early on!"
He led the way to the table, dragging two chairs close together and sitting down. "Will you be able to eat like that, or do you want to call a truce whilst I switch arms?"

For a moment, Nathan considered saying, 'Ner ner, tricked you!', but then decided against it as he linked with Mao's other arm, sitting easily in his chair.
"Now remember to hold on!" He grinned.

"And if I let go it'll be much better for you," Mao replied as he sat down, almost letting go of Nathan's hand.

Nathan sighed and shook his head. "How do you know that? I love holding your hand, and I've only just been allowed to do it!"
Prue set down the drinks, cake and cookies. "Enjoy them, Big Brother..." she smiled, then turned away.
Nathan reached to touch her arm with his free hand. "You know full well that that third piece of cake and that last cookie are yours - early birthday present?" He smiled. "Thanks for bringing all this over, Prue."
Prue kissed his cheek, smiling happily - she loved chocolate, but had to save her money and so rarely got to eat the cake and cookies that she knew were delicious.
Nathan sipped his chocolate as Prue took her cake and cookie back behind the counter.

Mao watched her leave and sighed. "You're too nice for your own good."

Nathan shrugged. "What's wrong with wanting to take care of people?" he asked, knowing that there could be something wrong with it and not being prepared to admit it.
I could get hurt... very, very hurt... but I refuse to tell him that when I know he'll worry, when I know how to protect myself...
The Angel smiled, taking a sip of his drink.

"There's nothing wrong with the wanting to take care of people I guess. It's more of the approach to it. I think you're a little too trusting of people." Mao the began to eat some of the cake and cookies. "I just want you to think about it from a different point of view for once. I can't help but worry when I see you acting like that."

Nathan nodded. "Well I don't trust everyone - I know Prue, and I make sure to protect myself. You and Hayate are the only two people that know where I live... unless Davyn saw me... can't remember."
Then he blinked and squeezed Mao's hand. "You might want to ignore Davyn if you come to my work. He turned a bit ugly, but I can easily ignore him at work..."
