On Gossamer Wings part 79

[krystalkatz.livejournal.com]

The restaurant was one of those stupidly expensive ones by the more touristy areas of the ocean. From here the only boats that could be seen were pleasure boats, Ohno's yacht would have fit right in but Kazu doubted that Ohno himself would. The food was incredible but Kazu thought that his dad’s was just as good if not better. It was different kind of food that was served though so he could enjoy it without feeling guilty. He had been unnerved by the stares they were getting until Jun had told him to just smile and ignore them. It was easier said than done but Jun was great company and his worries were soon forgotten.

“I think that I could make your dad’s place as well-known as this…” Jun murmured unexpectedly gesturing to the crowded restaurant with a brisk hand and Kazu felt the corners of his mouth twitch in happiness asking eagerly;

“Really? Do you really think you can do it?”

“Of course…” Jun muttered confidently and Kazu suspected that he would be preening if he wasn’t trying so desperately to be cool and offhand “I have every confidence that I can do it, no matter what it is, I always get what I want…And your father’s deserves it…”

“So you…Are a manager…?”

“Yeah…Something like that, I work freelance…When I feel like it…” Jun shrugged with a very small roll of his shoulders looking so at ease with that statement that Kazu couldn’t help but stare thinking about the car and the posh clothes that Jun always wore and he breathed out sharply through his nose asking;

“…How can you afford that?”

“My uncle…He may have been an unfeeling bastard most of the time but he left me enough money to leave me more than comfortable and allow me not to work unless I want to…”

“He’s dead? I didn’t know…I’m sorry…” Kazu mumbled hanging his head and studying the food that was on his plate a lot more closely than he had been previously. Jun gave a laugh kicking his shin with the toe of his shoe to force him to look back up.

“It’s okay, you didn’t know…I honestly never got on with him and I moved out as soon as I was able…” Jun told him with a smile “It was a surprise to me when I got the call from the lawyer to say that he had died. It was even more of a surprise to find out that he had anything to give me…So don’t look all apologetic and sad okay? You didn’t know him and I made my peace with it all a long time ago…No cheer up…Anyone would think that I’m breaking up with you or something…”

“Eww gross…” Kazu pouted his whole face screwing up as his nose wrinkled causing Jun to give another laugh and a playful pout his eyes fluttering saying;

“Gross? That’s nice…Most people think I’m pretty good looking…”

“Most people aren’t your son…” Kazu growled not aware of the affect that his words had on Jun “It would be pretty creepy if I found you good looking…What…What’s up?” he asked seeing the strange impression on Jun’s face.

“Nothing…I was enjoying the fact that you said son…Sorry…Come on, eat up the dessert here is amazing…”
