It looked like the two was on the same wave length this time! Not only had Noa just been thinking that it wouldn't be right to leave dakota when he finally got him back, but it seemed like dakota was feeling about the same. So it amused him to no end. He liked this side of dakota. It was so much better then the old dakota who'd run away and try not to get to close to him. Looking at Dakota when he offered his arm he had to admit he felt his eyes widen in shock when he was suddenly kissed like that. So much for keeping his calm and not showing to many expressions. Just with one kiss he could feel his heart beating like a drum in his chest all over again. This, this was the difference between them.

Just seeing the way they kissed one another was so different. Noa had originally kissed him so tenderly and sweet, slowly. The here comes dakota with a sudden surprise kiss that took his breath away. Strangely he didn't hate it. No he happily had returned Dakota's kiss. They might be on different wave lengths on how they expressed themselves.. But it also showed how different their personalities was. It made one wonder how such a slow paced would ever catch up with a past paced guy.. Or how the fast paced would slow down and let the slower one catch up. Just thinking about it actually made him laugh out loud a bit. seeing Dakota hugging his arm like that he reached his hand up to pet the boys head softly.

"Ah.. i love you to Koko... even if your tiresome." he taunted him playfully. Although that mischievous look through him off a bit. Had he said something weird? Oh right.. of course he did! How could he think that Dakota didn't know how to dive? Laughing a bit at himself, he couldn't help but to be amused. Why would he ask such a silly question! Of course Dakota would know how. Seeing Dakota do that weird eye roll plus shaking his head, Noa couldn't help but to look at him, questioning him. . Man it would take him forever to catch up to the things people in this century done wouldn't it? Although it was strangely cute to see that. Even if it looked like Dakota wasn't pleased with how he done it!

"You look so handsome, Noalani." Hearing that had brought him back to reality quick. Feeling his hair being brushed back, Noa gave a soft purr. watching Dakota. It felt strange but he didn't mind it. Closing his eyes momentarily when the fingers graced his forehead like that.. It was simple things like this that showed him that Dakota wouldn't reject him and his feelings. Silly thing to think from such a simple gustier. With his bangs falling back in his face, his crimson eyes opened, looking at Dakota. with the boys hand resting on his shoulder Noalani reached down to grab the hand. Placing a soft kiss on the back of Dakota's hand he lead the boy back into his room. "ah.. just give me a moment.." He mumbled in his normal tone.

Letting Dakota's hand go he went back to his dresser. Moving his clothes around he opened a box only to close it quickly. Handing the keys out to Dakota. Unsurprisingly they was on a cat keychain. "Then you can drive. I don't care to drive.." Leaning over he placed a soft kiss on Dakota's cheek. Leading Dakota out back to the parking lot he headed over to the light blue McLaren Hamann. Rubbing the back of his head Noalani laughed a bit. "you see when i bought it.. I didn't know what kind of car it was.. I just loved the color.. It goes to fast for me so i haven't really driven it but maybe three times.. So if you can handle it, your free to drive it any time you want.. I don't really like driving anyways. To much trouble." He gave a low whine. Leading Dakota over to it.

Ah.. the doors.. they dont open like normal ones.. They go up. so you can open the door yourself.." Was he a bit embarrassed that out of all the cars he picked one so pricey? Yeah, he was just a little bit. But he loved the color! How could he not buy it? Plus he didn't know if Dakota really liked it because the color. Standing there, he waited for Dakota to unlock the car so they could get in. Yawning he looked up at the sky. "Ah.. i really like the stars tonight Koko." Weird to think Valentines day he was actually going to enjoy it.

How could it be to fast? Well that was such a simple answer now wasn't it? "I'm not used to a fast pace. I like slow and steady." He deadpanned, whined at the question. He didn't like moving to quickly it made him dizzy. He was so used to moving at his normal pace. He was a lazy cat! He wasn't no kitten that loved running around and being excited. Them days was far gone and lost to him. Now he'd rather be lazy and just lay around, severing his drinks to others. wait future? That was funny wasn't it. "Future? Ha... maybe i should have bought a DeLorean then." Laughing to himself he couldn't help but to be amused at that comment. He'd like a car that could travel back to the future and past. Wouldn't that be a nice thing?

With Dakota stumbling with the keys he couldn't help but to shake his head at how strange he was. Gasping a bit when he was suddenly hugged. "So annoying." he whined, yet his arms moved from his pockets to wrap around Dakota's back. Smiling inwardly. he liked this. It was nice to have dakota so close and hugging him. It felt right, it did feel weird though. How long had it been since he actually let someone cling to him and actually enjoy it? "I'm starting to be happy im here too." It wasn't nothing against the brunette, it was more so towards himself. This was the first time he had been enjoying being alive after all. Shaking his head when Dakota started talking again Noa just reached over, ruffling his hair.

"Ahh, your always so rude to me. How can you say that to your vampire? Your the rudest. Here i was thinking it was nice, then you go and say it's weird." So .. if Dakota was rude, then why was he actually smiling right now? Why was he enjoying this? Oh right he was being sarcastic again wasn't he? Groaning when he was tugged he couldn't help but to want to whine. Why was he being dragged again? With Dakota opening his door for him.. Well Noa found himself smirking a bit inwardly. "Ah! What a gentlemen thing to do. You make my heart soar. Opening the door for me, i have completion already. Woe is me." He laughed a bit. He knew once he turned it on it wasn't always easy to turn it off after all.

Stepping into his passenger seat he looked up at Dakota. "What lady wouldn't like a cute, energetic bunny driving her around town. They will be sooo envious of me." Okay that one was more teasing then anything. Even if he thought about it, he was insulting himself. But the fact of the matter was. He was enjoying himself and he loved when \Dakota was like this. Once he was seated he reached up to buckle his seat, making sure that the tail of his jacket was in the car.. wait why was he wearing a suit for a picnic? Oh thats right, Dakota had asked him to dress up. What will it take for you to dress up for me. he said. Noa's response? He didn't really have one.

If Dakota was asking he'd do it. Even if he wasn't his eve, he was his.. wait no he wasn't! Dakota wasn't his lover was he? Dakota had never answered him earlier! Well that was going to drive him crazy now. Waiting on Dakota to get into the car he sat there just spacing out and thinking this over. was it a bad thing that Dakota had never officially said yes or no? Was he just thinking it over? Looking to watch Dakota he wondered if he should ask him again. Yeah he would ask him again, if he didn't get a for sure answer then he'd take that as a 'i need time to think.' Honestly that was fine with him. He knew he wasn't going no where. He knew the more Dakota seen him the more his feelings would grow.. wait whose feelings? His or Dakota's? Hopefully both.

"Ah.. oh.. its Valentines day. So if you want to stop at a dairy shop we can have them make the foods and get you something sweet. I haven't ate today." Wait.. he hasn't ate once but he was drinking earlier. Had Dakota noticed the whiskey on his breath? They had kissed twice now.. Probably not, he only had one bottle. it wasn't even enough to get him tipsy.. So why was his mind going to a million different subjects? Simple he was nervous and he couldn't remember the last time he had been on a date. well he could but he wasn't going to admit it.

Slow down and be steady.. Was that a hint? was he telling him that he could be.. no! He was thinking to much about this. there was no way he meant that he would stop what he does and be with him. Have a steady relationship and .. darn it! Why did he have to do that? Make Noalani think that? He knew that Dakota was talking about the car. So why was he hoping he meant something else? Laughing a bit at himself he just nodded his head at dakota. "Go ahead, i trust you. Just be careful." He replied honestly, if Dakota knew how to drive and was able to then he didn't mind one bit for him taking the car out. It needed to be driven after all instead of collecting dust.

Laughing when Dakota made such a bold statement Noa just shook his head. "I won't stop you." That was as good as he was going to get to a 'please do.' After all he loved being close to Dakota, even if the boy couldn't stay still more then a few moments at a time. After getting in, calling dakota a gentlemen, he had to admit he was a bit shocked to see that blush on his cheeks. Did he like that? Well he would make sure to remember that. Something about knowing Dakota liked being called a gentlemen made him happy, but not as nearly as happy as the kiss to the cheek that followed. With his door closed and dakota sitting next to him he just gave a low, almost quiet purr when he was 'scolded.' That was the cutest wasn't it?

"Ah.. nyan.." He cried out almost boredly this time. "You know i don't care for sleep or food. It's nothing new for me. When i bit you.. it had been.. um.. right around thirty years since i last drank blood. Food wise, i normally only eat once every three days. Just enough so i don't pass out. I've gone a straight week without sleeping." He explained calmly, almost carelessly. He knew he needed to eat more. But he didn't care. he ate enough so he wouldn't be skin and bones. Looking at him you couldn't tell he neglected his food. You could easily see he didn't sleep, but eat? He made sure to take care his body after all. Leaning his elbow over on the doorframe he looked out the window as they drove, laughing a bit when he heard the foot tapping like that.

"Hmm.. why are you being so rude Koko?" Looking over in the corner of his eyes he yawned softly. "I've told you earlier tonight that i like spoiling you. That it's been to long since i had someone to spoil. It makes me happy. Are you really going to be annoying and tell me no? Young people now are so ruuude. I miss the simpler times when everyone was nice and respectful." He whined at the other. He didn't know why but he liked messing with Dakota. He was pretty sure that he had called the boy rude at least ten times already since they had met. If not more then that. Looking back out the window he rested his free hand on his lap. "I can spoil you and still teach you to survive on your own you know. So stop complaining."

Noalani knew that he was the rude one but he was old, he was allowed to be cranky and mean. Looking up at the night sky he found himself smiling happily. He really was happy now wasn't he? "You know how to pick them don't you Leilani?" He thought to himself, just staring at the stars. "Can you hear me? I will treasure him like i have you." Why was he talking to her again? It was simple, he was happy, he was glad he got Dakota back. Looking over at Dakota, Noalani leaned over softly. Placing a soft kiss on Dakota's cheek. "Happy Valentines, Koko. I'm glad I'm not alone today." Sitting back up straight he sighed and finally went back to what Dakota had said earlier. "I like Strawberry ice cream better. what flavor do you like?'

He was the annoying one? Well that was funny. He kinda liked the thought of Dakota giving it back to him instead of just pouting. Hell it made the vampire laugh a bit to himself. Shaking his head he reached over and pat his head softly. dakota really was something else wasn't he? Unlike dakota, Noa didn't think it was weird that he was taking him out to eat, that he would get dakota food and not himself. But since he seemed so determined to make him eat with him.. "Okay.. i'll eat more. but only if your around. so it's your responsibility to come and eat with me every night. If not i'll stick to my tomatoes and toast every few days." This could work out in his favor after all! To think he now had a reason to make sure that Dakota come around more to annoy him and well. just spend time with him.

Although... what came next had legit surprised him. It caused his jaw to drop and for the first time in centuries he had burst out into a laughing fit, holding his stomach as he tried to calm down. Dakota thought he'd die if Noa himself died? wasn't that the funniest thing he has ever heard. Shaking his head Noa smiled brightly, smiled in an almost childish manner. You actually... oh... haha.. goodness i love you so much." He said between laughters. He almost forgot that dakota had been human, that Dakota had no idea bout their race. Shaking his head he waited till it was safe to speak. "If i can die you will live. While its true you have my blood inside of you.. you won't die without me. But.. how should i.." Shaking his head he couldn't believe how happy that question had made him.

Reaching over he placed his hand against Dakota's chest. "I live on inside of you. If i die, i die. But you will always carry my blood in you. So even if i was gone you could live for me.. Giving my blood to you is just.. ah.. oh.. A way to always be with you even if i can't be physcially. so while i give you immortality you're, your own person and don't need me technically speaking. So live for me Dakota." Placing a soft kiss on the boys cheek he just laughed a bit more, going to sit in his seat once again he pulled his hand away. His smile never once fading, no that question had made him way to happy to just go back to his bored expression. To think Dakota thought he needed him. He didn't know why, but that made him happy and for as much as he could have lied, he liked the truth to much.

With Dakota going on about what flavor he wanted Noa couldn't find it in himself to say nothing. He was just enjoying this moment to much. he was enjoying having Dakota talking and himself lost in his own thoughts. When they stopped it took him a moment to notice. It wasn't until dakota was out of the car did he register that they was here. Unbuckling his seatbelt he was about to turn to open the door but it seemed like Dakota was more then happy to do it for him. what was this feeling? Why did it make him so happy to think that Dakota was starting to take after him a bit, that he was starting to rub off on the other. With Dakota holding the keys out for him he took it as a chance to grab Dakota's hand and 'help' himself out of the car. I think I'm rubbing off on you." He teased playfully.

Grabbing the keys once he was out the car he stuck them in his jacket pocket. Holding his arm out for Dakota to grab, Once he was sure he had ahold of his arm he gave a playful wink, his smile still plastered on his face. "I think I'm the one being spoiled here if you look at it in my point of view." He gave a soft purr, leading Dakota over to the door, holding it open this time for Dakota to go ahead of him. Only to grab his arm again. He didn't care the looks, he didn't care if anyone talked he was just enjoying himself right now. Walking over to the counter he looked over at dakota. "I want A strawberry scoop, give him a chocolate scoop on his.. and i believe we agreed on a second as well. What will they be?"

To be honest he was curious to see what Dakota would pick for him. Why chocolate? Because he heard chocolate made others hyper and for as hyper as dakota was normally, he liked seeing the other bouncing around, even if it was annoying seeing him so hyper. He still loved to see how much energy and spirit Dakota had in him. Humming softly Noa looked up at all the different flavors they had. Maybe next time he really would try something different, but tonight he wanted to make sure he'd eat the sweets. After all it was after six so he didn't mind one bit to have sweets. Just anything before six was un heard of for the vampire.

With his hand on Dakota's chest, or over his heart, Noalani could easily feel the breath that dakota had taken in. Was it a shock to see him being the one to openly touch him? Or was it because his words? Frankly having Dakota ask that was just.. well it made his whole night that was for sure and he couldn't explain how happy it had made him. He was just glad that he did, for as much as he loved thinking Dakota needed him, it was nice to know he didn't after all. Noalani still wanted to die. He had been ready to die for such a long time and cursed his existence. So to have dakota ask that made him happy. Why? Because he was a backwards vampire and Dakota should know that from how much time they spent together by now.

Although, what came next caught Noalani hitching for his breathy. Only if you live for me, Noa. Dakota wanted him to live? He wanted him to stay alive? Why? He knew he was starting to fall bad for the boy.. But that didn't change that he wanted to die. That he wanted to just be.. done.. But dakota wanted him to live? He wasn't sure how to feel about that. It was such a selfish request. Did dakota really know what he was asking? did he know what that meant? Did he even wrap his head around what would happen if Noalani had promised that? What if Dakota was killed like Leilani was? Does he not understand what that would do to Noalani? Oh well he'd ignore it for now, give a soft purr and act like that didn't hurt him.

"I promise i'll protect for for as long as i live." That wasn't a lie, that didn't hurt to say. He had no problem admitting that he would protect dakota, he did love him and wanted him to be safe. So after getting out the car and heading inside Noalani found his mood turning back to a happy one. Dakota was the cutest when he was trying to play cute and get out of something. That amused laugh though made his heart flutter. He loved that, loved knowing he was the one that had made Dakota happy. "Ah.. actually work a few days and i'll give you one. I can't give you a break if you don't work you lazy-" Wait no not just any bunny. "My bunny." Yeah that sounded allot better.

admittedly when he ordered the flavors he realized something.. When dakota said mango earlier he wasn't even paying attention. Using his free hand to smack his face he found himself laughing more at himself. "Did i just.. " Thats right he just realized that he hadn't even been listening to Dakota earlier. Something told him he was going to have to suffer cause this one. "Ah actually. Put them both in bowls.. you can put the cone separately.. something tells me i just made a flaw." He looked back at Dakota. He was going to make him share wasn't he? He didn't know why he thought that.. but something about not listening just told him he was going to be punished for it.

Oh well at least his two flavors would probably go well together. was he going to admit he hated sour? No, he'd suffer through it. He was sure that Dakota would be more amused this way. Nodding his head happily when dakota offered eating inside he had no problem with that. This way he wouldn't have to clean the new car later. After getting the bowls, because lets be honest, dakota seemed like a messy easter he lead them over to a nice looking booth next to the window so Dakota could look out it. Sitting the bowls of ice cream down he let Dakota slide in next to the window. He was going to sit next to him. Why? So Dakota couldn't get up and run off. He knew how the energetic bunny could be! He was not chasing him down when they was suppose to be on a date.

"You know, my favorite sweets are Ringo ame. Both good and bad for you." He playfully teased dakota. Grabbing his plastic spoon he took a bite of his strawberry ice cream. Looking over at Dakota he found himself leaning over, once he removed the spoon from his mouth granted. Kissing the brunette's cheek softly he gave another soft hum. "I didn't answer you earlier.." he started, his smile falling back into his normal expression. Grabbing a bite of the two mixed this time he stopped before it entered his mouth. "I can't promise i want to live. But i can assure you for as long as you live, i will live with you. So take responsibility and stay with me.. If you leave me like she did or simply get bored of me and run off. I can't promise i'll still be alive when you come back."

Was that going against what he had said earlier the night? That he'd wait for Dakota to come back to him, no matter how many years it took? No. Taking the bite he found his nose wrinkling a bit from the sour touching his tongue. That was more sour then he thought, but luckily the strawberry helped. "I didn't lie when i said i'd wait on you to come back. But there will be conditions to that. If you run off without giving me a reason, i'll assume your done.. But if you give me reason to think you'll be back.." Holding his spoon up to Dakota's lips, offering him the strawberry sweetness. "Then i won't try to die, i'll wait." His voice wasn't like any other time he had talked to Dakota before now. No, his voice was both serious and stern. He wanted Dakota to understand why he said what he did.

With Dakota mentioning dancing, him spinning around and coming back to his chest he felt his heart leaping out of his chest just from the suggestion. was he really taking an interest in old things? In things Noa greatly enjoyed? If he was serious and not messing with him.. Then this was one of the happiest moments of the vampires life. Nodding his head quickly he squeezed Dakota's hand. "Yes.. i'd thoroughly enjoy that. I enjoy dancing so much. It brings so many memories back." He laughed a bit happily. something about dakota wanting to do something that he enjoyed was just the best thing ever. Biting his lip a bit he just nodded at the cash register person. Agreeing to double cones for Dakota.

Sitting with the other he couldn't help but to let his mind wander all over the place. Thinking about dancing with dakota, teaching him how the right way. Not how teens done it these days made him so happy. He didn't know why but tonight was just wonderful, like he was on a high he couldn't come from. was this what it felt like to be alive, to want to live? Because he wanted to right now, he wanted to live and teach Dakota how to dance. If he left the other with anything.. "You know this will sound strange to you." He stated, after feeding Dakota a bit of his ice cream. "If i die a few days from now, if i actually learn how to that is..." Taking a moment to think about how he wanted to phase it he watched dakota go from the lovable cuddly bunny to his normal self.

"I'd be happy knowing that you know how to dance properly. That you took time to take an interest in something i love. call me old fashioned.. But dancing is a way to connect two hearts, to move in perfect sync and to show the other how you feel about them.. When two bodies are moving in perfect sync with one another. The two look in each others eyes.. No music can be heard just the sound of ones soul. There is nothing more romantic then dancing with your special someone in that first dance. When no one else in the world matters to you.. You might make fun and say it's dumb. But just thinking about you wanting to learn how to dance with me is more important then anything. If you can get in perfect sync with me. Then there is nothing stopping me from giving you my everything, my life."

He knew how heavy that would make the air around them but he couldn't help it. It needed to be said. To show Dakota that dancing was the sure way to his heart. Th perfect thing to make Noalani yours. reaching over with his spoon he grabbed some of the mango ice cream. although he didn't eat it for himself. "Don't say you regret it. I don't. you needed time to come to terms with me turning you like that. With yourself... Till you realize that i'll never accept your forgiveness of my actions." Leaning over Noa knew that Dakota couldn't be calm and relaxed so he decided that he would be. Resting his head on Dakota's shoulder he went back to eating his his bittersweet ice cream.

Enjoying watching Dakota playing with his food he just gave a light laugh. Reaching over to grab his cone he took a big bite out of it, nibbling along it. Its basically a candy apple on a stick, so you know.. But you know, Koko." Looking up at the other in the corner of his eyes he gave a soft purr. "Your like a child. The way you play with your food like that makes me laugh... You brought up kids before. Have you ever considered having kittens of your own?" Wasn't that what he said baby bunnies was called? "Ah pardon my rudeness." He called out, reaching over to grab some of Dakota's chocolate ice cream on his spoon only to mix it with his strawberry ice cream. We should switch.." He laughed a bit. His strawberry was almost gone but his lemon.. well he took a few bites from it.
