Fourth Floor Common Room; Saturday Evening [ 04/11 ].

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

It had happened to them at least twice already, so neither Teddy nor Chad were very surprised to find their after-prom morning interrupted by a very familiar face.

But there was at least something new this time around. Orden, after all, had yet to meet Galliano.

Chad would feel sorry for the cat if he hadn't already known the cat was a masochist and probably loved all the attention that he was getting from the half-Skrull spawn.

The little family had relocated down to the common room, looking to find some dinner.

"So what are we making?"


[[ so very, very open! Chad and Teddy and Orden will love to feed more mouths, too! ]]

"Something with tomatoes," Teddy said, watching Galliano stay limp and happy in Orden's grip. That cat just wasn't right.

"Ice cream!"

Really, why did Papa even ask? Orden bet Galliano liked ice cream, too, as he growled into petting and rolling the giant cat onto his back.

"And steak. Maybe hamburgers. And nachos."

Orden was a growing boy, here.

"You can have tomatoes on those."

"I think hamburgers sound good," Chad offered. "And ice cream for desert, maybe."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"No nachos until you let Galliano down," Teddy added.

Hey, this was the third time they saw the kid. This was so old hat, it was just sad.

"Oh, come on, Dad!" Orden complained. "He liked it."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"He is purring," Chad pointed out, as he got some food out.

A laughing little girl came running in, her cheeks red, her fingers dirty.

"Hi!"

[senorhulko.livejournal.com]

"Hi!" Orden smiled at the little girl and gave her a wave. "You're just in time for dinner!"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"He's insane." God help them, they were all bantering.

Isae was exploring! Because she was nine and didn't have to stick around and Okaasan had said it was okay as long as she didn't leave the building.

"Uncle Chad!" she squealed excitedly. "Okaasan and Otousan didn't say you were here!"

Ino had been a bit busy. And this Chad wasn't Ichigo's Chad--not that Ino would've really paid attention to that.

"He's a lot more fun than Neko-kun," Orden added, simply, before growling at Galliano again and laughing.

Prince Oscar Pedro, for the record, was refusing to leave Chad's shoulder this weekend. Ever.

"But he is crazier," Chad said, agreeing with Teddy this time.

[weetinyreyes.livejournal.com]

"Oooh! What's you fixing? Chicken? I likes chicken! I'm Annie Claire!"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Hey, there, little guy," Chad said kindly to the little girl. "You hungry?"

[weetinyreyes.livejournal.com]

"Oh, you's big!" she exclaimed, tilting her head way back to look up at him. "I'm hungry this much!" she said, spreading her arms wide.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

There was a bit of a pause, because there was someone calling him Uncle Chad and using Japanese titles, which made it a little easier to narrow it down...

...and consider the hair...

...oh, wow.

"Uh, surprise?" he tried, a bit weakly, and tried a smile, but it was a Chad smile, so you'd have to be looking really closely. "You hungry?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"And you were young when Oscar Pedro met you," Teddy pointed out. "He remembers that."

[senorhulko.livejournal.com]

"Hi!" Orden waved at the girl. "You know my Papa?"

[kurosaki-swarm.livejournal.com]

She bounced over to him, clearly expecting a hug. "A biiiiig one! Did you go through a portal too? Ken takes a portal everyday, you know, and Masaki's going to when she's older! And, yes, please I'm hungry."

[kurosaki-swarm.livejournal.com]

"Hi!" she said, grinning. "And uh huh, Uncle Chad's Otousan's friend! Okaasan's too, of course, but he talks to Otousan more."

Mostly because Okaasan wasn't around as much as her dad was.

[senorhulko.livejournal.com]

"Hamburgers," Orden said with a nod. "And ice cream. Later. And I'm Orden. It's nice to meet you, Annie Claire."

He gave a little bow, as much as one could bow when they were holding onto a giant cat. He had been paying attention in all his etiquette classes.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Whoa," Chad said. "That's a pretty big hunger, too! What's your name, sweetie?"

[senorhulko.livejournal.com]

Orden snorted, grinning a little lopsidedly. "That's probably why he's avoiding me, then, right Dad?"

[weetinyreyes.livejournal.com]

Annie Claire had manners too. She bowed back but then bounced up and down. "Hamburglers! I love hamburglers! And ice cream! Mmm. I'm a gonna have Ho Ho's later too. And some weeners with chicken."

This might take some thinking. Once Chad figured out how to best get down to the kid's level for a hug, he said, "Different kind of portal, maybe. Portals are really complicated. Do you like hamburgers?"
