Fourth Floor Common Room; Wednesday Evening.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

So, the whole plans for dinner based on the salad things that Chad had done in class last week fell through due to the very odd bout of...well, whatever it was, Chad was trying not to think about it, but he and Teddy had worked out that they'd do that dinner thing today. Only it was breakfast stuff, because that's what the cooking class was doing this week. You could totally have breakfast for dinner. Food was food.

Chad was getting a ton of various different things out and organized on the counter while listening to the new King Crimson album he picked up while at the music store earlier. The menu had increased to include not only cereal, bacon, toast, and eggs, but also pancakes, fruits, and, of course, fried tomatoes. Tonight, they would feast like kings of breakfast!


[[ Chad's here with notthehulk, but anyone, of course, is welcome to come and join and help and eaaaat! ]]

"Tomatoes?" Teddy asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"How long have you been dating me?" was Chad's only, very pointed response as he looked over the collected ingredients, trying to catch if he missed something important.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Long enough." He rolled his eyes and snagged an egg to toss in the air.

Carefully.

"Tomatoes for breakfast is still weird."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"It is not," Chad insisted lightly with a grunt. "M'telling you, it's completely normal. What do you want to handle, if anything?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy ducked his head, looking at the food. "I can handle toast."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Just toast?" Chad asked. "That's all?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"You really don't want to see my attempts to cook," Teddy said, shaking his head. "Things will catch fire."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"C'mon," Chad said. "My class is designed for people who can't cook, so it's easy stuff. Bac--"

Thinking about fires and grease, Chad quickly changed his mind.

"Err, eggs aren't hard."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy just laughed. "See? Scary thought."

The scent of bacon got into Sky's nose and drew him to the common room, as much as he tried to resist it. He knew it was so unhealthy for him, but at the moment? He didn't really care. He'd had a bad past couple of days. He'd earned a little bacon. He came out to the common room to find the source of the delicious smell.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Chad greeted him from over the stove where said bacon was sizzling away, temptingly close to being finished and ready to eat. "Hungry?"

He hoped so. They were making waaaay too much food.

As if there could be such a thing.

[redintraining.livejournal.com]

Sky nodded.

"Can I at least help you with anything?" he offered, smiling at Teddy. "I'd hate to just scarf down and not do anything. I'm Sky, by the way... Teddy's big little brother."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Huh. Chad didn't remember Teddy mentioning a little brother. Of course, Chad didn't have the best memory in the world, but Teddy knew how Chad was about the sibling program at this place. Or, actually, maybe that was why Teddy didn't say anything. "Help with whatever you'd like," he told him. "There's definitely plenty of stuff. An' I'm Chad. Ted's boyfriend." He nodded. "Nice to meet you."

[redintraining.livejournal.com]

"Likewise," said Sky, then stared blankly at everything for a moment, realizing he'd forgotten to mention he had no idea how to cook. So instead of trying and humiliating himself, he seized some fruit and started cutting it up, arranging it nicely on a plate. "So what possessed you guys to come out and start cooking breakfast? Not that I mind, of course, just curious."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"S'for my cooking class," Chad explained, nodding in approval at Sky's choice of task. "We did breakfast this week. We were gonna do salads on Saturday, but, uh...errm, I ended up not feeling too well, so we didn't get a chance to do that. This is make up for that."

[redintraining.livejournal.com]

"Ah. Is that class any good? I wish now that I would've taken it, as I have no idea how to cook," said Sky with a little smile. "Which is why I'm just slicing fruit. I hear the fastest way to meet people around here is to cook for them, though."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"It helps," Chad grunted with a nod of agreement. "I don't cook much, but I can cook okay, so the class is a little, um, easy, but it's good. I hope to learn new stuff. Like cereal. Making your own cereal." He shook his head. It still kind of blew his mind.

[redintraining.livejournal.com]

"Sounds interesting," said Sky, popping another apple slice in his mouth. He then glanced hungrily at the bacon, feeling his mouth watering a little.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Sky!" Teddy waved cheerfully at his lil' brother.

[redintraining.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Teddy," Sky said, nodding back in greeting. "How's everything been going for you?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy shrugged, still smiling a little. "The usual. School and... well school. I need to find a new job."

[redintraining.livejournal.com]

"Oh... what happened to your old one, if I may ask?" Sky inquired, sticking a piece of the apple he was slicing in his mouth and chowing down.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"My boss left town. Kinda suddenly." A beat. "Both of them, actually."

[redintraining.livejournal.com]

"Huh. That's odd," Sky said, frowning. "Any idea what happened to them?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

He shrugged. "Never really heard about it, even from radio."
