December posting 14: Coffee, Cookies, and Contentment -- HL/FK, Aidan-verse
Oh, look, a finished work, if a very short one. Tired today, sorry. At the AO3 here,
For Seferin's prompt. I'm afraid I only worked in advice from LaCroix. Oops?
Coffee, Cookies, and Contentment
Feet up on Connor's coffee table, oversized mug of coffee mit schlag cradled in his rapidly-warming hands, and a plate of triple ginger cookies on his lap, Marc Scipio leaned back, closed his eyes and inhaled contentment, caffeine, and cookies.
He didn't bother to open his eyes when weight landed on the couch next to him, just said, "Touch my cookies and draw back a bleeding stump. I earned this with holes in my hide and three hours of work for Connor."
"Your instincts need work," purred a worrying voice.
Marc still didn't give a damn. "Nope. I'm in Connor MacLeod's house during the Pax Hibernium."
"Do you mean to grow older, boy?"
Marc sipped from his mug and added, "You can't have the coffee either. Look. If you're half as old as I think you are, LaCroix, then you are thirty times my age. If you're still enjoying life so much you haven't let anyone or anything kill you yet? You're not gonna piss off Connor in his own house. So, no thanks. I'm doing just fine."
Lucien Lacroix actually laughed.
Marc opened his eyes to check but yes, he really was. Huh. "Anything else?"
"I had meant to see how you were coming along, but I think perhaps you do well enough."
Marc shrugged. "Nah. I still have plenty to learn."
Lacroix chuckled. "Yes, you have the beginning of wisdom. Enjoy your coffee, Marce, and meet your namesake sometime soon."
Marc blinked but the man was gone already. "Namesake?" Marc tried to wrap his mind around that, eyebrows heading towards his hairline. "Namesake. Pretty sure that'd be news to Mama." He shook his head and attacked his cookies; he figured he had maybe twenty minutes at most before something else needed to be done by spare hands or another tall person.
But he made a mental note to meet Marcus Constantine anyway.
