Ethan stared at Lock for a long moment, feeling a large drop of sweat roll down the side of his head. "I.... I mean books are cool!" he quickly recovered, playing it off with a huge smile. "Books are the greatest! I read them all the time!"

"No you don't," he pouted further, tears welling up in his eyes. "You must think I'm so uncool!"

"N-No!" Ethan stammered, bullets of sweat shooting down the side of his head as he waved his hands side-to-side frantically. "You're the coolest person I know! Y-You're so cool that you make ice seem... not cool!"

The Korean's tears spilled over, and he whimpered. "Y-you think I'm uncool! You don't like me!!"

"No, no, no!" Ethan panicked. "You're cool! You're awesome! I think you're totally rad! J-Just stop crying, please?" Growing more fearful, he tugged at his shirt collar and drank some of his water, nervously smiling at the people staring at them.

Lock finally stopped crying, his lower lip shaking. "D-did you seriously say rad?" he asked, laughing thickly.

Ethan's smile slowly fell. "What? I think that's a good word." he justified, feeling offended.

"Yeah, if we lived in the 90s," snickered Lock, wiping the last of his tears away. "Which we don't."

We did at one point! Ethan wanted to argue. Rad was one of his favorite words, and to hear it be slandered was like someone slandering oranges! It was just... just gross! He wanted to pull the, 'At least I don't read books all the time!' card, but he didn't want Lock to cry again. In the end, the brunette sighed in defeat. "Yeah, yeah. Guess I'd better switch to 'LOL' or something like that, right?"

Lock shook his head, taking Ethan's hand again. "No, keep using it," he said, raising his lover's hand to kiss it. "Please, I like it. It makes you more... you. And I love you."

Ethan raised an eyebrow at him then smirked at the opportunity that opened up for him. "Would you say that it makes me more..." He leaned his forearm on the table and leaned against it. "Rad?" Of course, radder was the correct term, but it just wouldn't have the same delivery.

"Don't push it," said Lock, grinning and shaking his head. "You're cute, though, so maybe I'll let you get away with it later."

"Oh what, you act as if you don't have a weird word you love saying." Ethan said while making a face at him. "C'mon, say it!" he said while eating more of his dish. Whoo, orange-flavored food with an orange-flavored drink and oranges... Oorg, it was just like last time when he blacked out.... The brunette shook his head to try and toss away the dizzy feelings that were creeping up and looked back up at Lock to hear his funny word.

Lock shrugged and used his fork to move his food around. "I don't really have any weird words that I use, other than chin-chin, but I don't like using it too much, now that Niji spends so much time with me," he said, tilting his head and blinking.

But Ethan was too busy laughing to hear Lock's explanation. "'Chin-chin'?!" he cackled with tears falling down his face. "You've got to be kidding me...!" He rested his head on the table and banged a fist against it as images of double chins appeared in his mind.
