Mission - Pancakes / Backdated to the morning of April 3rd

[oncedevil]

Who: Tony and anyone awake at Willow Ridge after the Kidnapping Incident
What: Demon be hungry, so that means pancakes for all.
Where: Willow Ridge kitchen
When: Morning of April 3rd, after Nathan's rescue
Warnings: Possibly some recollections of violence, but otherwise only pancakes. Maybe eggs. We'll see.

Dressed in jeans and a light T-shit, one could almost forget just the night before he'd been barely able to walk under his own power and bleeding all over himself. Quite the change, though watching closely it was still evident Tony was a little tender and sore. Moving stiff and careful while he cooked.

As it turned out, healing was hungry business. Fortunately Willow Ridge was equipped with a well enough stocked kitchen, and Tony with a little skill instilled by Hajime. Despite his best efforts, he still couldn't really use chopsticks with any kind of efficiency. Fortunately pancakes only required a spatula.

Stacks of them, in fact. The first attempts, under-cooked or over had already been eaten, but now he was on a roll. Why not ask him why he's cooked so much, or join in to help devour the abundance? Surely, he figured, the others would wake soon and they'd be hungry as well. Though likely Tony was far over-estimating their hunger by comparing it to his own.

No one could argue that Tony wasn't brave, and daring the risk of waking Shou and not making him sleep on the kitchen table all day was a good example. Yeah, he knew he was a grumpy ass if he was woken up, but it'd be better than the grumpy ass he'd be with a stiff neck.

You know, Shou, if he didn't love you he wouldn't put up with this shit. Also, y'know, the show is nice too.

Fortunately for Shou he'd intended to join in all along. He'd eaten his fill, now it was time to sleep until either someone woke him up, or he'd healed enough to stop draining all of his own resources. Gingerly he picked his way onto the bed to settle against the vampire, tugging a blanket up over them both. Only one, because Tony was enough of a heater all on his own these days. That didn't mean he didn't still enjoy a good cuddle though.

The only problem with this picture, at least in Shou's mind what the problem was, was that Tony still had too many clothes on. Fortunately, Shou was just not coordinated enough to do anything about that, even though he does give Tony's shirt a tug up before giving up and just curling against him. Vampires had a cooler temperature than humans, especially so when they haven't really eaten for a while, so his hand was probably cold feeling against Tony's skin.

"No more moving."

Unfortunately for Shou Tony has no intentions of disrobing again, it took a lot of effort to get the clothes on this morning, thank you very much. Of course now that he's eaten he's feeling significantly better and more alive, and as such functioning better. Even so, it was a lot of work, and he's too comfortable to go shifting around and fixing it.

There is an involuntary shiver at the touch, with his heightened metabolism Tony tends to run at a higher average temperature, so Shou does indeed feel quite chilly to him. They really needed to get him fed tonight, it's been too long.

But for now, naps. "No more," He promises, curling around Shou as best he can, being smaller and all. Probably kind of comical to look at. "Sorry to keep you up so long."

"No more talking," was his response, a little sharper than necessary, but enough to have a bit of a warning edge. Seriously though Tony, he was going to really wake up soon and that was not going to be pleasant. As it was, Shou had founf a comfortable spot against Tony's side, the heat of his body sinking into the coldness of Shou's limbs and making him a little more forgiving than normal.

Honestly, Shou wasn't half as bad as he could be because he really did care for Tony.

"Food later."

[oncedevil]

There was a tiny wince at the snap, Tony opened his mouth to apologize, realized that would be a terrible idea, and shut it again, clicking his teeth. Okay, okay, no more talking he's got it relax Shou. Instead he just stretched out comfortably and made a grumbling content noise.

Yes, that's right, food later. Sleepy Shou really is a grump-master.
