Malachite slipped into the seat opposite Aponi, taking the offered menu with a soft word of thanks. He shook himself a little when he saw one of the drinks available: cherry soda mixed with lemonade -- known as a cherry pucker. Who the heck came up with that?
He cleared his throat, focusing his attention on Aponi again. "Hmm? Oh, things are okay, I guess," he replied, setting the menu aside. He frowned. "Actually, today wasn't the first time I had to kick someone's a** this week, for similar reasons."

Aponi fiddled with his menu, smiling a bit at Mal's voice before he mentioned 'kicking a** and taking names' as Emo would've put it. He blinked a few times.
"Your a lot stronger than I thought you were. I mean...I never thought of you as a sissy, I just thought you'd be a pacifist." He was quiet for a bit, biting at his lip. "I'm not being judgemental by any means...I'm rather impressed."
He took to anxiously playing with a packet of sugar.

Malachite managed a small smile. "I suppose I should say thank you," he said quietly, "but you're right. I... I'm not used to being tough, really." He sighed and crossed his arms on the table, resting his chin on them. "I don't want to fight, but I do want to protect the ones I love." He glanced up at Aponi, frowning. "But I'm not sure that what I did today was for the right reasons. It's confusing."

Aponi felt a small blush hit his upper cheeks.
Protect the one's you love? Aponi was flattered for a moment, but Adrian did play a big part in the before confrontation. Aponi's flattery faded, but he did feel very close to Mal, and Mal was protecting him as well as his father's name.
"Why wouldn't it be right? You were defending the both of us, and Adrian, too. Maybe some people don't think violence is ever right, but if someone's verbally and physically harassing you, you shouldn't just stand there and let it happen."

"I suppose you're right," Malachite said with a soft sigh, letting the issue drop for the time being. He was staring off into space, so he missed Aponi's blush. He wouldn't have said anything if he'd noticed it, anyway.
The waitress came over and he simply ordered water with lemon. He continued to poke through the menu, still undecided as to what to eat. "You wanna split an appetizer or something?" he asked. "I'm not all that hungry, really."

"Sure." Aponi chirped, sensing the tension around mal. It wasn't all too thick, but it was a subtle change. Malachite had plenty to be stressed over, that was for sure, from people making accusations on Adrian to dealing with all these bullies. Aponi sympathized, he ordered a cherry coke and placed his menu flat, asking for a seperate cup of cherries to go along with it.
He smiled and nodded a thank-you to the waiter, who looked him over curiously befor taking the menues and leaving to fetch their drinks. "How 'bout we split a basket of fries, or something?
Aponi frowned lightly, looking Mal over. "If you want to go home, it's fine." He said, afterall, his attempt to lighten the mood wasn't really all that appropriate for the time being. He just couldn't help parading Mal around, he wanted to spend a day out with his friend, for once in a long while.

"Fries would be good." Mal nodded, sitting up again. A red flag went up in his mind, reminding him of his diet, but he pushed it away. He just wouldn't eat as much at dinner.
He stretched his legs out, propping them up next to Aponi on his booth. They'd been quite sore lately; growing pains, Adrian had said.
He looked up at Aponi and gave him a faint smile. "No, it's okay," he insisted. "I don't mind being out and about for a little while. How've you been doing?"

"Not so good until today, I'm sure things will go a lot better form now on. At least i'll get to see you every day." Aponi smiled, thankful as always to someone who would act on his behalf. He fiddled with his freshly polished nails, alternating black and hot pink, and continued turning the various silver rings on his fingers until the drinks arrived.
He asked for fries, took a cherry from the tiny cup brought, and offered one to Mal. He noticed Mal's simple cup of water.
"This will add a little flavor to it." He joked, shaking the cup of plump little fruits. "What's with the reluctance to sugary drinks, we're kids, we should be pigging out." He smiled jokingly, taking a sip of his soda.

"I hope so." Mal's smile widened a bit at the thought of finally having someone to hang out with at school. He watched Aponi fiddle with his rings. He didn't have any rings to play with, so he took off a bracelet and started turning and twisting it while they waited.
He took the offered cherry and shrugged, biting the cherry off its stem. He then set about squeezing the lemon into his water, careful not to hit Aponi with its spray. "Gotta keep myself hydrated if I keep getting into these fights," he joked. He licked his fingers before wiping them on a napkin. "I might order something sugary later. I'm just worried about my girlish figure." He accompanied this statement with a short pose.

Aponi giggled into his hand at the pose, biting his own cherry from it's stem, He didn't worry much about dieting yet. Sure, he ate as healthy as he could, but he did love to snack on greasy, nasty foods, like any boy his age. Aponi looked down at his own 'figure' he didn't look so curvy, but it definatly was girly.
So, the greasy food came, and Aponi helped himself to a few fries, one hand tugging at the string of his butterfly necklace.
Reaching into his shirt pocket to see how much money he'd have, before and after the meal, he sorted a few bills. "I have enough to buy us both a few accessories, if you not too tired by the time we finish." He said, grinning. He hadn't bought new clothes in the longest time. He was intent on finding a skirt with bondage straps, and maybe some more furry items to compliment his boas.

Malachite took a fry or two at a time and munched away on them, even adding a squirt or two of lemon juice for flavor. He eyed the necklace around Aponi's neck as the boy played with it.
"Aww, don't worry about me," he said, hand going to the wallet tucked away in his skirt. He checked to see how much money he had. "I can pay my own way. What stores were you thinking about going to?"

Aponi did the same, taking a fry or two and nibbling as he counted bills. He had been saving his allowance, and was pretty keen on getting a new skirt.
"I know there's a little shop around here that sells lots of 'racy' things." He joked, thinking. "I think it's called, 'Red Ball' there's lots of armwarmers and fishnet stuff and cute accessories. I know a couple of girls from our school shop there, and a lot of it is really cute."
He took anotehr sip of his soda and popped another cherry into his mouth.
"Anywhere you wanna go?"

"That sounds cool," Malachite said around another fry. "I don't think I've been there, yet."
He looked thoughtful again as he continued munching. "Well, usually I go to HotTopic when I'm out shopping," he said. "They've probably got some new things in since the last time I was there. Other than that, I dunno. We can just do some window shopping and whatever, and disturb the general population." He waved his hand in the air as he said this, then took another long sip of his water.

"I've been to Hot Topic before-- some of their clothes are pretty gaudy, but I love the accessories." Aponi smiled, "Disturbing the general population, One of my favorite passtimes-- though, usually, it's not intentional." He took a final sip of his cola and motioned towards the door. "Ready?"
He flipped through a few bills, enough to pay for the cheap snack.

Mal snickered. "Yeah, not only are some of the clothes crap, they're expensive crap," he added. His smile turned grim at Aponi's statement. "It's more fun when it's intentional, really..."
He finished up the last of the fries and his water and replaced some of Aponi's money with his own, handing the boy back a couple of dollars. "Fifty-fifty," he said, sliding out of his booth. "Let's check out your store, first."
