First Contact || Jinx x Ohma || “Gods of Love”

Summary: After a long day Kazuo takes Ohma to an affordable restaurant serving high quality meats. What he doesn’t realize is that there will be a lack of customers, workers, or much of anything at all as the owner works to provide her customers with premium service. Service that Ohma can truly appreciate.

The night air was crisp with the dropping temperature enough to make anyone feel a select kind of shiver run through their body from head to toe. Every light in the bustling city streets acted to make things a bit warmer in the same vein that the body heat of those just passing by unknowingly did. Not that any of it was  important when the warmth brought on by glee was factored in. “Oi,” a voice called out to his smaller (and much older) companion with only a shred of concern, “aren’t you moving a little fast?” The man stood tall, everything about him swollen to match. Every muscle he had worked to it’s limit pushing against the tighter fabric of his jacket in an ever lovely manner that still managed to seem pitiful in comparison to the mess or black tresses sprouting from his head without much care or consideration. And yet there he was, a man with charm, a man with outward appearance  above the rest without even realizing so. 

That wasn’t to say his older friend didn’t have merit. He may have been older, his hair an organized mess and glasses stylishly outdated, but he too held a charm. His whole being encompassed the idea of a fatherly businessman taking out his son (or in this case figurative son) for a nice meal to celebrate whatever grand achievement caused him to beam with such unbridled boastfulness. Though he barely had one his chest was swollen with pride and steps full of fragile confidence.

Confidence that the meal he had promised the taller gentleman would be as delicious as victory, “Oh come on! You know they used to call me fast Kazzy back in my day!”

In the wind he had seen an advertisement fly by for a shockingly cheap restaurant by the name of “Lace Jelly”, and while the ad did seem a bit girly the promise of good food for a better price was enough to put away the idea that this might be some pop up cafe for women. If it was he would just… have to find somewhere else to eat. 

He found no comfort when, after going through a few alleys and into an isolated area, the sign above the shop was as decorated in lace and pearls as one could imagine. But this was no deterrent for the younger man, apparently Ohma, who pushed open the door without hearing the silent protests of the older man before he looked over his shoulder with a raised brow, “Yamashitakazuo, aren’t you coming in?” Again with the calling of his full name! Kazuo would never understand this young man. Alas, while he entered the sound of the calmly crackling radio entered his ears and filled the old man with a sense of nostalgia made only more potent by the smell of freshly baked bread; one basket on every table from what he could see.

The walls were a subtle pink that held the sunlight leaking through the windows in a manner one would think impossible given how the building was tucked away. The tables were rounded with an ornate wooden base lovingly painted a pale rose and white marble table top. There were already four white cushioned chairs around each of these five tables, paired with four pastel heart shaped dinner plates (each a different color), mugs to match, and silverware laid over rather plush looking napkins. It was all rather feminine yet still felt like a home in a way no other little cafe he had entered did in a very long time. 

Stepping forward Ohma took a menu off of the stool at the front and moved to one of the empty seats, not a single customer in sight despite the sound of things being put together in the kitchen, “We’ll be seating ourselves! A table of two!”

His voice carried apprehension as well as it dripped confusion as he sunk into the alarmingly cozy chair.

He opened his mouth to try and make small talk with Ohma but he was already drooling over the images of thick steaks on the menu. Closing his eyes he relaxed into his spot only for the sound of someone speaking to frighten him to the point of stiffening up, “what can I get for you two gentleman today?”

A bit high, but still holding as much youthful vigor as a voice could. It held motherly backing and at the same time was cute enough to reveal her as someone young. Not that her appearance didn’t give that much away. Her blonde hair was divided in three distinct parts; one large pigtail on either side of her head and the rest flowing behind her. The top was decorated with a cartoonishly large bow. The rest of her was just as unfortunately fitting. Her little baker’s uniform was off white with a cranberry apron buttoned on with a heart shaped pocket resting on another larger pocket nestled against the left side, a white band around her waist, bunny stockings, a bow bracelet, and black shows with a pure white heel. But despite it all evoking his need to adopt this unknown grown woman; it wasn’t truly what caught his attention. It wasn’t her blue eyes that sparkled with excitement even through her glasses, it wasn’t how she effortlessly filled both glasses on the table with ice water despite the size of the jug she held that looked much to heavy, no, it was the fact he didn’t sense at all that she was coming that struck a chord with him. And from the look on Ohma’s face, he was dealing with the same experience.

How was it that she managed to sneak up so effortlessly? He must have been staring, because the poor girl began to look a little uncomfortable. He should say something before-

“I’m sorry gentleman, I didn’t mean to sneak up on y’all. I just got excited about having customers and all that. How about I give you your first serving free, as amends?” She gestured to the empty tables with a twinge of sadness, “as you can see, it wouldn’t hurt anyone else’s orders.” “Steak.” Was all Ohma said, pointing to an elaborate looking dish on the menu with a bit of the free bread still tucked into the corner of his mouth like a chipmunk guarding it’s harvest. “Yes sir! And what about for you, mister?” she didn’t even seem worried about if Kazuo had accepted her offer, which made sense seeing how quickly his dear fighter had taken her up on it. Clearing his throat the man looked for something simple before deciding on what looked to be just that.

“I’ll have the, uh, how about your burger,” just a simple burger patty, didn’t seem all that complex right? Nothing to worry about. With a nod of her head she just seemed to fade into the background as she headed for the kitchen. Looking up at Ohma, Kazuo prepared to speak once more but instead found himself curiously watching the man across from him who stared at the door into the kitchen with an expression he had yet to have seen. In all the times he had taken ohma to eat, this was the first time he had seen the man focus on anything but the meal in front of him.

In a moment’s time the girl ame back to the front with two armfuls of food. One hand held an american style burger with all of the fixings and the other several rather hefty looking steaks, “now I don’t want to see either of you leaving a speck on these plates! I portioned it out so you wouldn’t fill up too much before your next helping!” With the trained hand of someone who had worked in the industry for far too long she handed both men their meals and stood there a moment to gauge their reactions. She was a business owner in a business that was frankly going under. If there was anything in the faces these men made to tell her anything it was her job to see it! Kazuo was a bit bewildered, but began to eat as not to be rude. But Ohma hadn’t waited even a second before chowing into his food without even a second thought about etiquette. He wasn’t even using the silverware she so lovingly set out for customers! After he finished the second of three steaks she spoke up again, “easy big guy, can't have a handsome gentleman like you dying in my shop! The paperwork is one thing but watching art die is another.”

For the first time since they had begun to eat together Kazuo saw Ohma pause.

“How could I eat free every day?” He sounded so curious but the way his plate had been cleaned revealed his enjoyment more than verbal communication could possibly have done so. But this was worrying, Ohma had an unknown background and didn’t seem to know enough about the world to live in it without the help of someone guiding him. He had common sense and basic intelligence in everyday life, expert intelligence when fighting, but in social situations he was as lacking in skill as it could have been. Enough that most jokes-

“I’d only every do that for my husband,” an innocent comment followed by a jest, “unless you’re volunteering.” Flew over his head. It was in that moment Ohma made a foolish decision that would have an outstandingly positive outcome, “I am.”

With a laugh the waitress stuck out her hand, “well husband, I think we should introduce ourselves before you do that. I’m Jinx, owner of the Lace Deer. I’m twenty four years old and my hobbies are running my restaurant and decorating.”

“Tokita Ohma,” He didn’t know really how old he was, just that he was in his late twenties if he counted years he could remember, “I like to eat, and I’m the strongest man you’ve ever met.”

And just like that, as he took her hand and agreed to something beyond what either realized, the fated pair had made their first contact.

Eating Out: Don't Be a Fast Food Giant

Eating out this occasion end of the week, or whenever throughout the mid year, the natural and modest can be appealing. Indeed, even the monsters of inexpensive food don't need to be colossal deviations from your obligation to eating soundly, in case you are an informed customer. Here are a few things to remember when examining the cheap food menus:

Arby's

Mull over: A little Wavy fries has 450 calories, 210 from fat! The numbers for the steakhouse onion rings are practically indistinguishable. Only two potato cakes will give you 250 calories, 140 from fat (15 g). The Meal Ham and Swiss sandwich has 710 calories and 30g of fat. Indeed, even a medium meal meat has 420 calories, 16 g of fat. Be careful their Market Fresh® Sandwiches - every one is between 700-820 calories!

L.E.A.N. Alternatives: There are a couple of servings of mixed greens and wraps on the menu, yet a decent decision is the Hacked Farmhouse Salad with turkey and ham, coming in at 250 calories without dressing. In the event that you would incline toward the Slashed Farmhouse Chicken Plate of mixed greens, substitute barbecued chicken for seared. Simply be careful that everything except the extremely basic Hacked Side Plate of mixed greens, has 14g of fat or more. Dressings will make this number ascension, dramatically.

On their website you can make your dinner and see exactly the number of calories and fat you would be devouring with those decisions. Check their website for more nourishing information.

Burger Ruler

Mull over: A medium fries will hamper you 440 calories, with 22g of fat and 670g of sodium. Simply a plain Humdinger will give you 670 calories, 40g fat, and an incredible (play on words proposed) 980mg of sodium. A little cheeseburger has 300 calories and 14g of fat while a BK® Twofold Stacker has 560 calories, an awful 36g of fat and a stunning 1040mg of sodium.

L.E.A.N. Choices: It may come as a shock to realize that Burger Ruler's Beast Junior without cheddar or mayonnaise really has less calories (340 calories) than the chain's Tendergrill chicken sandwich without mayonnaise (520 calories). Another L.E.A.N. alternative is a nursery salad with (300 calories) or without (140 calories) barbecued chicken. Needles to say you will be in an ideal situation in the event that you pick a without fat or diminished fat dressing. On the off chance that you basically should have fries, you would now be able to arrange them 'unsalted'. Do as such!

Kentucky Seared Chicken

Mull over: One unique formula seared chicken bosom packs in 320 calories, 15g of fat, and an improper 710mg sodium. Extra Firm is likewise additional calories at 510, with 33g of fat and practically a large portion of your day by day portion of sodium, 1010mg. Keeping with our calorie-fat-sodium postings:

Huge popcorn chicken is batting 550-35-1600; Fresh Twister® with Firm strip is 560-24-1600. One of the most exceedingly awful dietary wrongdoers to the L.E.A.N. eating is the Renowned Bowls® Pounded Potato with Sauce. This bowl is all calories and sodium - 700 calories, 32g fat and a whole every day portion of sodium, 2260. Click here : 먹튀사이트

L.E.A.N. Alternatives: Pick a Caesar or side serving of mixed greens (on the off chance that you get the Caesar, request broiled chicken as opposed to fresh). Watch the dressings. On the off chance that you utilize the whole parcel it can dramatically increase the calorie and fat substance of your plate of mixed greens. For KFC chicken, barbecued chicken is much better than the seared. For this choice, the drumstick is a decent decision - 80 calories, yet 4g of fat and 230mg sodium. The bosom isn't the most exceedingly terrible guilty party with 210 calories, 8g of fat and a shockingly high 460mg of sodium. The best sides are green beans, fresh corn, three bean salad and "Mean Greens".

McDonald's

Mull over: French fries are a solace food. A medium fries at McDonald's has 380 calories, 19g of fat and a humble 270mg of sodium. It nearly abandons saying that the burgers are calorie wrongdoers, yet sodium endures a big cheese, as well. A Major Mac® has 540 calories, 29g of fat and 1040mg sodium; a Quarter Pounder with Cheese® is recorded at 510 calories, 26g of fat and 1190mg sodium. One of the greatest, yet at the same time not the most noteworthy in calories is the Angus Burger® with Bacon and Cheddar. The dietary data on the McDonald's site shows this as having 790 calories, 29g of fat and a mind blowing 2070mg of sodium.

L.E.A.N. Alternatives: McDonald's has a reasonable choice of plates of mixed greens, however the keen client realizes that that bacon, singed chicken and cheddar make a plate of mixed greens as stuffing and undesirable as a burger. To address this, request barbecued chicken, not fresh, and make certain to get low-fat dressing. A superior serving of mixed greens with barbecued chicken and low-fat balsamic vinaigrette dressing is around 260 - 360 calories. Side plates of mixed greens are consistently a basic, sound other option. For sandwich sweethearts, the fundamental burger has less calories (250) than a Top notch Barbecued Chicken Work of art (420). Barbecued Tidbit Wraps are additionally a superior alternative, with 260 - 270 calories.

Like KFC, you need to investigate the pdf posting of McDonald's Wholesome Information. Check their website for more nourishing data.

Metro

Mull over: On this finish of the range, the 6-inch Blowout has 550 calories, 23g of fat and a baffling 2610mg of sodium. The Meatball Marinara isn't greatly improved with 580-23-1530. You may figure, one treat will not hurt me. All things considered, these terrible young men pack 200 calories each, with a normal of 11g of fat and 150mg of sodium. Simply say no!

L.E.A.N. Choices: As inexpensive food goes, Metro is perhaps the most ideal decision. They have 8 6-inch subs with under 6g of fat. Furthermore, you can pick wholegrain bread, giving you a decent portion of sound fiber and omegas. The least calorie 6-inch is the Veggie Pleasure with only 230 calories, 2.5g of fat (contrast that with KFC!) and 410mg of sodium The most fatty substance sub in this classification is the Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki still with a genuinely unassuming 274 calories, 4.5g of fat yet an astonishing 1010mg of sodium. You perceive how watch that wholesome data! Mixed greens at Metro are generally excellent choices, with under 200 calories, and 5g of fat. Watch the dressing, however, as usual.

Metro currently has an intuitive site where you can investigate their wholesome data.

Taco Chime

Mull over: Be careful with the solid sounding Fiesta® Taco Salad, which has an eating routine busting 770 calories (stay away from a significant number of those by not eating the shell). Then, at that point there's the Chipotle Steak Salad (I'm trusting they are utilizing that term freely!) that the Taco Ringer site shows has 900 calories, 57g of fat and 1600mg of sodium.

L.E.A.N. Choices: Taco Chime's Fresco® Menu is comprised of things with less than 400 calories and 9 grams of fat. The Fresco Style Chipotle Steak Salad zooms down to only 220 calories, 6 grams of fat. It's still genuinely high in sodium, notwithstanding, with 930mg. Their chicken Farm Taco Salad has very much like numbers: 240 calories, 5g of fat and 1080mg sodium.

Check their website for more dietary data.

Wendy's

Mull over: I can't remind you enough to be effectively aware of the dietary data at cafés. Indeed we discover a serving of mixed greens that is really un-L.E.A.N. Wendy's Baja Salad packs 550 calories, 33g of fat and 1610mg of sodium! That is without dressing. The most exceedingly terrible of the burgers is, obviously, the Bacon Exclusive Triple. With this 3-patty sandwich stacked with bacon, cheddar, and even onion rings, you will eat 1150 calories, 73g of fat and 2030mg of sodium. Certainly something to mull over.

L.E.A.N. Alternatives: A couple decent decisions incorporate the Mandarin Chicken Serving of mixed greens or the Chicken Caesar Salad. Both are under 200 calories without dressing or additional items (like bread garnishes, or bacon). The Jr. Cheeseburger makes an appearance with 270 calories, and 11g of fat while the Barbecued Chicken Go Wrap has only 260 calorie and 10g of fat. By a wide margin the L.E.A.N.- est choice is the side plate of mixed greens. The Nursery Side Serving of mixed greens has a simple 25 calories, NO fat and simply 30mg sodium. Indeed, even the Cesar Side Plate of mixed greens just has 60 calories, 2g of fat and 95mg of sodium. Top off on these, irreproachable!
