Cafe Crossplay : Julian and Tempo An Ivitation you can't Refuse

[Passionate Shadow]

: Almond: Julian sat in his office, somewhere around midday, feeling the sort of drowsiness that tends to creep up on you in the middle of a long, uneventful work day. Calling upon his newest trainee, he pressed the buzzer at his desk and sent forth the request for a tall coffee, with cream and sugar, to arrive at his desk, post-haste. Leaning back in his chair, and adjusting his glasses, he looked
: Almond: over this month's expenses, trying to muster up even the slightest interest. Really, this was xearon's problem, not his, if they went a little overboard on costumes...

: Tempo: It wasn't too long before the door slipped open without a knock this time. Tempo was carefully carrying the seemingly hot cut of coffee that was filled to the very top and capped. There was a nice little cardboard sleeve on the cup as well. He looked rather precocious as he set the hot paper cup down upon Julian's desk. "I'm pretty sure you would just up and stop running if all the coffee in the world just vanished." Tempo teased ever so slightly in a soft manner offering Julian a smile trying to look 'pretty'. Tempo was attempting his own method to what Oliver had told him about Julian being nicer if you looked 'cuter' when you spoke to him. "Did you want me to fetch you anything else? A crumpet, or a lime tart perhaps?" Tempo asked in a very sweet tone of voice. He was currently happy to get away from a customer whom he didn't like to converse with, and Julian's presence was rather welcomed as well. : Julian: Julian opened his mouth to scold the little imp for intruding without knocking, but seeing that little extra bounce in his step, and the sweet lilt in his voice made the normally stern manager take pause. "oh, if the coffee vanished, I'd just have to pull my energy from other sources." Julian sait, with a little waggle of his eyebrows, taking his cup, and bringing it to his lips. "and
: Julian: you know how very much I enjoy seeing those new costumes." With a chuckle to himself,The redhead sank back in his plush desk chair, and crossed one leg over the other. "Well that is certainly sweet of you to offer, darling. I'll tell you what." He began, feeling his mood lift already. "Go on and fetch me two of whatever you recomend from the pastry case and bring them back. Tell Oliver
: Julian: to cover your tables. go on, quick like a bunny now." and with that, he shooed the bratling away.

: Tempo: Tempo at first didn't quite get what Julian was referring to when the new costumes were mentioned. He turned it over in his head a few times before his thoughts were quickly changed and a more genuine smile laced those pink lips. "Alright then~" Tempo wiggled his nose (to the best of his abilities) at Julian and just about -hopped- out of the room. "Oliva~" Tempo called with a catty grin as he hopped right on over to Oliver's side with a catty grin. "Would you be ever so kind as to do me a kindness of taking my tables for a bit?" Tempo asked gently.
: Julian: all the better for Julian, if Tempo didn't realize the joy he seemed to pull from each new addition to their wardrobe. And subsiquently, the look on each boy's face as they donned said garment, whether it be pleasure, or flushed cheeks. Oliver on the other hand, wearily ran a hand through his bangs, sweeping them neatly to one side. Servers were never supposed to touch their hair, lest : Julian: it end up in any food, but he always seemed to forget that fact. "Hm? Well sure, of course." He smiled, settling the tray in his hand at his side. "You look pretty happy though... Somebody forget their wallet or something?" He giggled.

: Tempo: Tempo giggled almost darkly and continued to have short giggle fit . "Ahem..." What Oliver didn't know wouldn't hurt him ~. "Julian asked me to pick out two of any treat in the pastry cabinet and bring them back to him. So I guess I'm kind of on a mini break?" he half asked. "I figured why be grumpy about anything anyways ? You should relish the moment!" Tempo chirped seeming rather chipper and a bit pink-cheeked from his little giggle fit. Tempo caught the end of Oliver's tail and fluffed up the pretty bow from its droopy state tightening it softly. : Julian: "Well that's pretty lucky." Ollie winked. "Especially for somebody who 'doesn't' like you." He had a bit of a gloat in his voice just then, seeing as his feeling had turned out to be correct. The icey elf WAS smitten with the saucy little dragonkin. "Well then have fun, just not too much fun." with another little giggle, he seemed to be off to work again, right up until his tail was
: Julian: caught and that bow fluffed, met with much fond eyerolling and head-shaking. That silly bow was always a pain. if Julian hadn't insisted, it would be off in a moment.

: Tempo: Tempo Let Oliver go and hopped off to the cold display case. He picked out two berry starts that were settled in a nice custard. Tempo set down a frilly paper lace dolly and set the tarts on top making them look fancy enough for presentation. He plucked up the plate and scuttled off to Julian's office. He set the little plate down on his desk and smiled. "Ta-da~ I hope you like my selection." Tempo chirped moving to closed the door this time. He dusted off his apron and straightening it out of habit feeling slightly 'messy' in front of Julian's scrutinizing gaze. : Julian: Julian had his feet resting up on his desk, but hearing the patter of dainty feet coming in close, he pulled them down, and leaned forward, resting his hands on the surface of the desk. "Lovely." He nodded in approval at the plate, before wrapping his hands around the boy's slender waist, and pulling him to sit on his own knee. "It's just perfect. Thank you." Julian complimented casually,

: Julian: as if all were quite normal, pulling the plate toward him, and picking up a fork. "Though I'm not sure it's quite to my tastes... I'd be honored if you'd help me with this..." He cut into the tart's delicate crust, picking up a bite with just the right ammount of custard and fruit, and brought it to Tempo's pinkened, lightly pouty lips.
: Tempo: Tempo rested back against Julian as he was pulled up suddenly Enjoying how comfy his chest was as a rest =w= He blinked bright eyes as Julian scooped up a small piece of fruit. Tempo's first instinct was to reach up and take the fork. But he paused as he hand came up from his lap realizing what Julian wanted. He blushed a bit and looked up to those breathtaking blue orbs and seemingly accepted the offered bite with relative ease. Tempo just about kissed the tip of the fork as he pulled off still looking up to Julian. "It's heavenly~" He crooned gently in a soft coo of a voice after he had swallowed his bit.
: Julian: "A very fitting match." Julian said thoughtfully, not sure if the boy atop his lap would know just what he meant by that. He chuckled as Tempo reached for his fork, and seemed very much pleased when he willingly accepted the offered morsel. "Though it might not be as lovely all the way through..." And with that, he offered another small bite, careful not to give the little imp more than
: Julian: could fit into his mouth. After this one, however, he picked up a napkin and gently dabbed away at Tempo's lower lip, a droplet of cream left behind. The way his eyes lingered on that bowed pink mouth, it was quite clear to anyone with even a sprinkling of sexual experience, that he'd have much preffered to use his tongue. "So darling..." He began, mercilessly taking attention away from
: Julian: the fact that Tempo was seated there, being hand-fed, "how has your day gone?"
: Tempo: Tempo let Julian gently dab his lips and set a hand on his thigh and pet it once or twice much to the affect he would Zenth-showing very mild affection. "Exceedingly well...For the most part so I can't really complain about any of the bad." Tempo offered before slipping a hand in to his Apron pocket and plucking out a thick roll of bills that were all pushed together with a hair tie placed over it keeping it together. "I hope to buy a bike now so I won't have to get up as early to come here." Tempo explained his little plan with a grin. "So how was -your- day? Hmmmm?" Tempo asked this question seemingly for the first time. "You seem rather worn for somebody who sits in an office most of the day ~ =w="
: Julian: "Now now," He began, setting a hand on on Tempo's back and beginning to drag his index finger along the sensitive flesh there, making small twirling designs, known to make the toes curl under, and the spine tingle. "I spend most of the day that you're about in my office. That doesn't mean I don't do plenty of work before and after." truthfully, he checked that every last thing was in : Julian: working order at the beginning and end of each day, and either fixed them, or replaced them if they weren't. Clumsy servers might notice that despite their tumbles, there were always one hundred plates and mugs and glasses. One also had to order the fresh flowers every third day, once they began to wilt. "Cafe pixies don't take care of the little things, as much as I wish they would."
: Julian: He smiled, in an easy-going manner. Oh this boy. Something about him was so refreshingly honest and simple.

: Tempo: Tempo stiffened feeling those gentle touches on his back and soon gave a jolted jump, "A-haahha~!" He breathed in a shuttered sound sharply as a low volume. He felt goose bumps tingle over most of his skin and felt the hairs on the back of his neck rise. "May be you should get a secretary to help you if you have -so- much work that it leaves you feeling exhausted." Tempo said moving to pluck up that Tart and delicately held the whole little pie crust right up to Julian's lips. "It's truely divine I swear~"
: Julian: "A secretary, eh? ... It's not a bad idea." He replied, Tempo unknowingly making the rather sadistic gears in his head start spinning with a truly inspired idea. For now though, he parted his lips and took a healthy bite of that tart, licking the crumbs from his lips as he pulled away. A look crossed his features that made it seem he could melt any moment. "Matthew's outdone himself : Julian: today... That is delicious." Surely he would get fat in no time if he didn't have his astounding willpower. it was always far, far too tempting when the day's sweets were left over in the case...
Session Time: Tue Feb ::

: Tempo: Tempo dipped his finger in to the cup of the tart stealing a tiny bit of custard for himself and bringing that white tipped finger up to those plush lips he gently licked the sticky creamy good from the very tip enjoying the decadent flavor. " You sure do seem to love enjoying sweet with me Julian... It's said that treat taste better when they are shared with friends." Tempo said before popping that finger in to his moth and pulling off once he was sure every last remnant of custard was gone."Mmm~! Matthew told me once he goes to the gym regularly.... Perhaps if you went as often as him you could eat more sweets?" Tempo asked setting the tart aside.
: Julian: "Oh I go to the gym about three times a week." He replied thoughtfully. "They say you should go four or five, but ah... I like my time off to be my own." He didn't seem to take offense to what could be taken as criticism. "perhaps I'm just secretly trying to get some meat on your skinny little bones, hm?" He suggested, with a short tickle to Tempo's outer hip. "You do eat outside of : Julian: work, don't you my little twig?"

: * Retrieving #cafecrossplay modes...
: Tempo: "Only when I remember to or when I'm with Oliver... Oi But I feed Zenth all the time! I go to the feed store and get him hay, and cubes, and and and sweet feed!" Tempo nodded quickly. "And why -would- you be wanting to make me any heavier? Oh I know if you had someone to go to the gym with it wouldn't seem so bad right? Then you can have fun with whoever you're there with.... That's partially why I wanted to work here so I could talk to Oliver more often... He doesn't seem to get along well with many of the other waitresses. " Once you got him started Tempo was a little chatter box. : Julian: "I see..." Julian replied, his concern barely showing on his features, but quite serious in his mind. He nodded along with those words, thinking it just might do him a little better to get a partner. "Yes, some of the servers have a bit more attitude than they should... I try to keep them in line, but many of them... hm... Don't seem to mind the punishments themselves." Shaking his head,
: Julian: he put the thought away. "Who is Zenth...?"

: Tempo: Tempo winced visibly as Julian asked who Zenth was. "Zenth is a horse." Tempo said not quite referring to Zenth as 'My Horse'. "He's really really big and he'd got pretty blue eyes.... kind of like yours; but quite as pretty." Tempo explained. "He's hot silver mane and has a charcoal colored coat and he's got silvery 'sprinkles' on his butt that make him just adorable~ Oh oh and his feet look like the have fuzzy leg warmers on cause of the long hair there." Tempo offered a meek smile. "Did you wnat to meet him? He's really very nice - like a peaceful giant."
: Julian: "He sounds very pretty." Julian commented, getting the feeling Zenth was not just 'a horse'. he was clearly someone Tempo was quite fond of. "And I'd love to meet him. I'm really very fond of horses. Have been ever since I was a little elfling." his thumb ever so gently grazed the outer shell of Tempo's ear as he spoke. "You know... What's good for Zenth... it's good for you too, Tempo.
: Julian: You should really be eating whenever you feed him. Likely even more." Julian was getting the feeling he should make sure Tempo had plenty to eat while he was on the job at the very least, when a thought occured to him. "Do you like... Italian food, Tempo? Lasagna, and pizza, and pasta? It's my favorite, but y'know, we always make so much of it... We might not mind having a guest once in : Julian: a while."

: Tempo: For a moment Tempo closed his eyes and craned his neck allowing himself to be lost in such a wonderful sensation. He sighed softly feeling his whole body realize as his muscles easier loose. "We?" Tempo asked softly as he perked up a bit at the mention of that awesome food Oliver introduced him to. "I absolutely LOVE pizza. " Tempo chirped Oliver ordered one that was covered din extra cheese and it was simply amazing - to die for!" Tempo's mouth watered at the idea. "And the smell is intoxicating !" Tempo scooted up a bit on to Julian's lap moving closer to the older as if getting cozy. He was careful cause he felt like if he moved to fast or too much he might hurt Julian. "I'm not so sure what lasagna is but it sounds interesting enough... do you cook Julian? Like in a pretty apron and everything?" Tempo asked with a wry little grin.
: Julian: "Well, it's not as pretty as your apron" he smiled, toying with the frilled edge. "But it's nice enough. Lasagna is a bit like pizza. cheese, and tomato sauce, but there's noodles too. And lots of garlic bread. It makes the whole house smell absolutely delicious." wrapping his arm around Tempo's waist, he snuggled the boy in, surprised at his willingness to cuddle up that way. Perhaps : Julian: Julian's charm was more powerful when he actually tried at it. "We, as in me, and my ... partner." He wasn't about to say 'dom'. no sirree. "We just love having guests, you know. We're even in search for a more... regular guest." He seemed just slightly awkward now, not knowing how to say 'we want a cute little subby like you' eloquently.

: Tempo: Ohhh~ Julian in an apron would be a priceless site to see. His ears flicked downwards as he heard Julian and a partner. Tempo though he was married to his work. The smile faded slowly from his face but he still seemed rather interested. "Like how I visit Oliver regularly?" he asked gently ear perking. "We have movies nights and we play board games and such. Is that what you do?" Tempo asked suddenly feeling strangely out of place. Mis-shelved in the world. He didn't really -have- a place to invite people over to and it seemed as if this was the usual thing to do with friends. To invite them over to have a fun time. "Well.... I think it's nice that you invite people over.... I really really like visiting Ollie; That is when he's not busy." Tempo meant busy as in being preoccupied with James~ : Julian: Julian grew concerned as that smile slipped away ever so slowly, and hte reason it did became quite clear. he'd thoughtlessly mentioned his partner to the boy who obviously was completely twitterpated with him. "Yes, that's exactly it. Just to come and visit and have a nice time with us. I get the feeling you'll just love Kyro. He's playful and sweet, just like you are." Vaguely he

: Julian: wondered just what sort of movies Tempo might be interested in... "Got a favorite dish? Or a favorite film? Even a favorite game? I wouldn't want to bore you at all."
: Tempo: Tempo's ears perked and he made a somewhat strange expression. "Wait- Kyro's... your partner?" Tempo asked looking to Julian. "Ohhhhh... Okay now what he said makes some sense..." he trailed. Tempo started to absent mildly toy with the edge of his apron feeling slightly out of place. "I like Kyro." he stated bluntly at first sort of running things over through his head. "I mean he's nice to be with and he's pretty funny." Tempo offered gently. "And he's very... informative." Tempo offered a faint smile. "I ummm..." He tailed 'Don't say bunny, don't say bunny ' he thought with a wince. "I like a lot of things.... I like dumplings, and stews, and Fish..." he trailed. "I umm.... I like a lot of games I don't think I could choose just one and I'm pretty open to watch anything~" Tempo offered with a smile. "Ollie likes to watch princess movies. ;And I really liked the Bride one ;D" Tempo said seemingly cheering up a bit over simple little things. Poor Julian, who know what information Kyro has crrupted Tempo with. : Julian: "Oh? You know Kyro?" He blinked in surprise at that. "well that's great, that makes things easier, now doesn't it?" Julian nodded along with his selection, thinking that none of those sounded particularly hard, thankfully. ".... You know, he would like princess movies, wouldn't he?" Julian chuckled. "Nothing wrong with that I suppose. The princess bride is probably one of my very

: Julian: favorites too." Unknowingly victimized, he'd been very glad that Kyro had introduced himself, and that Tempo had liked him. He was thinking that it would make things much less awkward overall... little did he know, he was dead wrong.
: Tempo: Tempo nodded gently. "Yup yup yup! I bet Ollie would like all sorts of fantasy stories so long as they have a happy ending." he nodded gently "What about you?" Tempo asked softly. "What do you like?" Tempo tapped Julian on the nose. One of his habits he was growing fond of because of the small reactions he garnered from Julian. "I think it would be lovely to visit you~" Tempo added thinking Julian was inviting him over. When he didn't know but it sounded like there was a very good possibility!
: Julian: "Oh I love fairy stories as well. High fantasy and adventure... Romance isn't bad either, or Comedy. I think I like near every sort of movie, as long as it isn't full of cheap car races and explosions." he wiggled his nose a bit at that tap, and gathered up Tempo's hands gently, his thumbs rubbing the back of them in a very subtle message of 'mind your hands, little sir.' "Well then, : Julian: shall we say, tomorrow night? I hope you haven't got any plans. I've got a pizza place I've been dying to try."

: Tempo: Tempo was very pleased at this turn of events and nodded his head like a bobble doll with a somewhat silly grin. "Certainly!" He chirped quite eager to join Julian and Kyro for an evening of fun. Sure it wasn't a date but spending time with Julian away from work sounded way too awesome an chance to pass up. "Thank you very, very, much Julian~" Tempo purred as his habit of repeating words when he was more ecstatic and euphoric started to become apparent. Poor Ollie owuld have to listen to Tempo Gush if he was still around when Tempo got off of work.

: Julian: "Good." Julian purred, wrapping both arms around the ecstatic youngling atop his knee. Nuzzling a cheek into the top of his fluffy head, he sighed, and dropped a kiss there, making his affection well known, hopefully encouraging Tempo to keep his hope alive, despite this 'partner' business. "Now then. I've got work to do, and so do you." He set Tempo on his own two feet, and sent him : Julian: off with a little pat to his bloomer-clad backside. "Go on. And take your treat with you. I won't have you collapsing on the job now." He winked, and picked up his clipboard once more, looking it over
