Antony adjusted the collar of his dress shirt, placed neatly bellow his black suit that had been pressed professionally. He wore suave Italian leather shoes and was leaning up against the hood of his black sports car, one of his most treasured possessions...probably because it had cost him so much money.
He lifted his hand, tugging back his sleeve and noting the time. He had arrived early, he was never late...always early if he could help it. Now he was waiting for the other, there was still five minutes until 7:00, the designated time. Waiting for his lovely companion for the evening, the boy who worked in this tea shop. He wondered what he would be wearing...what he would say when they met again...what he would talk about for the entire evening. It was a curious topic to ponder.

Fern was in the back of the tea shop, adjusting his hair in a mirror. He had decided to dump the kimono, just because that was more of his leisure outfit. He had put on a black dress shirt, leaving the first few buttons undone, exposing a bit of his collar bone. He didn't have any dress pants so he had opted on a pair of tight, gray skinny jeans, possibly made of cotton. He didn't have any sort of dress shoes so he had put on a pair of black slip-ons, hoping they would work. He wasn't sure where they were going but he had a feeling it would be expensive, so he had tried his best to look dressy. He just didn't really have any fancy clothes. He hoped he looked okay.
Fern ran his hand through his loose hair and stared at the mirror. He shook his head and plucked off the black hair tie he had been wearing on his wrist. He took most of his hair, leaving long, loose front pieces, and put it up into a high ponytail. He twirled around and gave himself a once-over and decided he looked as 'proper' as he could possibly look.
Humming, he stepped out of the backroom and through the front room. When he got outside he stopped just outside of the doorway, taking in what he saw. Antony looked sooooo classy, especially standing by his sportscar. What a sweet deal Fern had got. It looked like it would be a lavish evening, at least, lavish by his terms. He grinned and stepped towards Antony,
"Hey."

"Good evening," Antony said with a warm smile, lowering his arm and his sleeve moved down to conceal his watch and his wrist. He was glad the other had opted for pants...even if they were jeans. Traditional Asian dress was not exactly customary where they were headed....the other seemed to have already gotten that hint. "You're looking lovely," he complimented with hint of a smile, his tone cool and masculine.
He took a step forward and shifted, taking the handle to the door and pulling it open, holding it for the other as he got in. "I have made reservations for 7:30," he said with a gentle smile, "At the Golden Tapestry if that is to your liking. I was informed that they have vegetarian options."

Fern nodded,
"Yes, that is to my liking. And you are looking rather lovely yourself."
He leaned up to kiss Antony on the cheek before he stepped into the car and sat down. He was feeling a bit nervous. As much as he liked fancy service he was also not all that used to it and couldn't help but feel like some sort of country bumpkin. He was still a teenager, technically, and was yet unused to the 'adult' world. He was used to meeting for coffee and a quickie with people his age. He would just have to adapt to this older man. He thought it was worth it, he seemed like a really nice person and was oh-so good-looking.

Antony smiled at the compliment and the kiss, closing the door gently. Young people...they were so impulsive...so willing to do the first thing that came onto their minds. It was refreshing, it was different from the stuffy people he spent his days with. He was a quiet man himself but that didn't mean he didn't like a bright mind and an open mouth, spilling out thoughts and opinions without a censor. He enjoyed it. Someone who released what they felt inside...because that wasn't something he did personally.
He stepped around the car, to the other side, and opened his own door, sliding into the crisp leather driver's seat. He pulled on a pair of driving gloves, buckled himself in and put the car into gear. He pulled out from the side of the road and they were on their way. "Does it bother you..." he asked with polite curiosity, "Having someone take you out who is older than you?"

Fern pulled on his own seatbelt and looked out the window. He replied as he watched the streets go by,
"Not really. I mean, I have been with an older man once or twice before, but usually I go for those closer to my age... but..."
He turned back towards Antony,
"You are different. If we are compatible, I don't just want it to be a one night stand. Those get boring rather fast. Oh... by the way... are you wondering how old I am?"

"Age isn't really something that I look for...but you may tell me whatever you please..." Antony said with his eyes trained on the road ahead, he didn't deviate from that at all...remaining focused on the task at hand. "If you are below the legal age to be with me though...I would request that you share that with me."
He didn't care about ages, nor did he care about how many people this young had been with before. He would love to hear the stories if the other wanted to tell him...but they were of little importance to them, right now. He agreed with Fern when he said that if they were compatible then things would work. And he didn't do one night stands...well, he tried to avoid them. They did happen.

Fern nodded,
"Don't worry. I feel slightly embarrassed about it, especially since you're so proper and all... but I'm 19. You seem quite a bit older... but... I like you... so..."
He lapsed into silence, turning back to the window. He usually didn't mind his age, thinking it to be exciting going after older men, but he didn't really find it 'exciting' in that way with this man. Usually a big thing was the chase, the coaxing, or the whole 'naughty' thing about being with an older man, or this was what he assumed it was like for the men who went after him. He didn't really care much for them, but would give in every now and then, just to feel wanted.
But with Antony he felt different. He wasn't interested in the age difference or the thrill, he was simply interested with the man.

"I'm 32..." Antony responded, "But I'm still single...never been married...so it does appear like we have the same amount of experience in the field. There's no need to be intimidated or anything of the sort...I'm learning as well...I'm alone which means for many years I haven't been doing something right..."
He was very nonchalant about saying this, as he turned the car into the Golden Tapestry parking lot and shifted into park and pressed the fingerprint coded button that would stop the vehicle. The thrills of this technology...thief proof. Unless someone cut off his fingers...and who did that in a pinch?

Fern smiled,
"Well, maybe, you'll do things right."
He watched the man put the car into park and took note of all the high tech features. He wondered how much it was cost. Probably more than all the things Fern had ever owned in his life. Although he had lived well with his parents, they weren't <i>that</i> rich, but liked to pretend they were. He had never had the chance to be in a sports car before though.

"Perhaps I have been doing things right all along..." Antony said with a smirk, "It's just I've been looking for a companion in all the wrong places." He stepped out of the car and moved around to the other side, opening the door for the other once more much like any good gentleman would do for his guest.
They had a few minutes to spare, he had reached the restaurant right in time for them to go inside, get their table and then eat. Perhaps the other would fill their evening with dazzling talk like he had in the tea shop those few days ago. That was an interesting thought...

Fern elegantly stepped out of the car, nodding his head in thanks to Antony.
"Thank you. And maybe, maybe that's the case."
He flashed a smile and turned to gaze up at the restaurant. It was so damn fancy.

Antony returned the smile and closed the door, punching in the combination to lock it. "Shall we?" he asked, motioning for the other to walk with him as they moved up to the entrance. There was a man in a tuxedo waiting at the door, head held high and his hands folded delicately on the map on his podium.
"Reservations?" he asked in a nasally toned voice.
"Yes..." Antony said with a smile and pulled out his business card, handing it over to the man, who nodded and motioned for someone to come and seat them. The man bowed politely before leading them through the ornately decorated interior of the restaurant, to a table near the edge of the restaurant, a window seat facing with a view of the City Hall Park.

Fern sat down and viewed his surroundings. The restaurant was so fancy and lavishly decorated. He reveled in the decor and turned to look out the window. The park was so beautiful, especially at this time of day with the street lamps all lit up.
"Wowww~ This is such a nice restaurant. I've never been here before. This is a nice opportunity. Thank you for bringing me here."
He flashed a winning smile to Antony.

"It seemed like an opportune place for a first date," Antony said, taking his own seat and receiving a menu from their host. "I used to come here quite a bit but I grew tired of the feel and decided to begin holding business meetings in other locations...for new scenery and perhaps newer, more exotic foods." He looked down to the menu, decked out with expensive dishes such as duck, AAA steak, lobster and other fancy foods, "Though I suppose this is exotic in its own right..." he commented as he scanned the pages.
The waiter arrived, bowing his head, "To drink?" he questioned.
"Do you drink?" Antony asked, in reference not to the action itself but if the other took part in the consumption of alcohol.
