[His action does lighten the mood as Bela grins at him, nudging his ankle back in return, sliding her foot up a little before she stops, not wanting to take it too far. Not yet anyway.]
Good, I'm glad to hear that. Let me know what dessert you fancy and I'll call the waiter over.
Do you like chocolate? Last time I was here, I kinda eyed it but uh.... we decided on a different kind of dessert. [He gives her a quick, subtle wink.] No reason for us to be in that kind of hurry though. We can always have both. Dessert here and "dessert" back at your place.
I think they have cheesecake too if that's more your speed.
Oh, I fully intend to have "dessert" with you back at my place. [ She says, nudging his foot again. ] And I love chocolate. You can order us both the same or something to share if it's too much for one person.
Perfect. [His smirk widens even further when he feels that little bump against his foot. He's distracted enough that he doesn't notice their waitress approach until they're standing at the side of their table.]
Oh, hey. We'd like to get a slice of chocolate cake to share. Thanks.
[The waitress only takes a moment before they're back with a generous slice of dark chocolate cake adorned with some fresh berries. Leon scoops up a piece, making sure to get a good icing to cake ratio and a berry before holding it out for her to have the first bite.]
[Her eyes widen in delight when the cake makes an appearance, staring at it for a few moments until Leon takes a piece of it. Bela smiles when he offers her the first bite, leaning in to eat it in one go. When she's finished, she looks at Leon again.]
Mmm that is heavenly. Thank you for letting me have the first try, Leon.
[She gets a rare, soft, shy smile when she accepts the masterfully crafted forkful of cake and fruit. He looks almost boyish. He's cute to shift that smile into more of a smirk when he nods.]
Good. I'm glad you like it.
[He slices off a bit of cake and snags a berry before he scoops it into his mouth, nodding in agreement. He doesn't even wait until he's swallowed before speaking, though he does cover his mouth.] Perfection.
[Bela likes the smile that he gives to her. Well, she likes all of them to be honest. But it's nice that he feels comfortable enough to be like that with her.]
Perfection is the right word.
[Not just referring to the cake, but the evening as a whole.]
If I had this cake in my cafe, I'm sure it wouldn't last too long.
Nah, I think you could do better. Plus, I'd go with something like this but as cupcakes. I feel like people feel less bad about snagging a cupcake than indulging in a whole-ass slice of cake.
[He scoops up another forkful and takes a moment to enjoy how rich it is thoughtfully.] It's definitely better with the fresh berries though.
Then maybe I'll think about putting together some chocolate cupcakes with fresh berries.
[She watches him as he indulges in the cake, smiling afterwards.]
Sure, yeah. We can finish it off at my place.
[Raising her hand she gets the attention of a staff member, asking for the bill and for a box to put the rest of the cake in. The staff member takes the cake and returns minutes later with the bill and the boxed cake.]
Y'know, the funny thing about your place. I always want something when it's super late. Post fight - especially on a night where I do well. But, obviously, you've been closed for like eight hours.
[He smirks softly, fully acknowledging his cravings have the absolute worst timing.]
Perfect. And, yeah, I'm sure my dom won't mind.
[After getting the check sorted, Leon takes offers her his arm and leads them outside.] Still in the apartments, right?

Now dig in before I'm tempted to eat it all.

[She would happily do it for him.]
No, I'm actually in a house now. It's been something I've been working towards for a while.
[Giving his arm an squeeze, Bela steers him in the right direction so he wouldn't get lost.]
It's much bigger than the apartment and it has a garden.
no subject
Honestly, it's probably glad I get the cravings when you're closed. As delicious as your stuff is, I definitely don't need it.
Oh yeah? A house? Fancy. I can't wait to see it. You'll have to lead the way then.
[He lightly bumps into her as they walk, playfully brushing shoulders and stealing a light, quick kiss to her the corner of her mouth.]
ooc: I think we could wrap up here :>
[She laughs at his behaviour, feeling on top of the world. He really knew how to lift her spirits, and of course the kiss was more than welcome.]
