The social interaction for Derek, was quite honestly, a god send. He'd been nothing but isolated and considering Conner was the only one who was nice to him he didn't have many options as far as people went. Besides, Conner was...nice? Actually, Derek found the presence of the man so welcoming he felt suspicious. No one was actually like this. What did he have to gain form this? There<i>had</i>to be something! Maybe he didn't know about Derek's previous status? The thought seemed a little far fetched considering everyone at the restaurant had caught on pretty quickly (probably thanks to Jason) and made his life a living hell since. They'd backed off a little when Conner had expressed he didn't want them to be so mean but they were still relentless when he wasn't looking. Tripping him, gossiping, pushing him into the worst section and onto the worst tables that walked in.<br/><br/>"Yeah, that sounds good!" He said, looking down at the little dumplings served before them. He actually felt excited- he hadn't eaten out in an actual restaurant since him parents kicked him out. Before then he was always found somewhere- bars, clubs, fancy places that served hundred dollar appetizers. This place was smaller then a lot of place he was familiar with. He idly wondered how clean the place was. Service seemed fine- nothing great. Derek could feel his mind drift off again, the familiar disassociation settling in as he hesitantly popped one of the dumplings in his mouth. Living on frozen pizzas and microwave meals was giving the man a whole new appreciation and prospective on lower end restaurants and as he chewed his food he had to savor it for a moment. It didn't taste like freezer burn!<br/><br/>"Cooking can't be all that hard. I'm sure I'll be a natural at it!" He stated, smiling at the man as he popped another piece of food in his mouth.
