Thanksgiving day.
Heero watched all the families bustling in together, their tables already pushed together to form more room. He could've sworn he'd seen an elderly man loosen his belt as he sat down, his hand in his pocket, reaching for some pill or another. No, not Viagra - Pepto Bismol?
Heero stared. Already? The man hadn't even ordered yet and he was getting indigestion!
"Must've been a heck of a car ride, eh?" Heero looked up at the waiter, who was winking at him while looking pointedly towards the other man. "I'm Johnson. I'll be your waiter for tonight. So...should I wait for you to whip out your bottle, too, or are you ready to order?"
"I'll take the macaroni and cheese combo." The waiter jotted it down, then hesitated. Heero raised an eyebrow, handing the menu to him. "What?"
"You don't seem like the macaroni and cheese combo kind of guy, that's all."
"What kind do I look like, then? Just macaroni-and-cheese guy?" Heero asked.
"Nah, more of a salami person." The waiter nodded wisely. "I can tell. You like salami."
"Duo hates salami," Heero said simply in reply. "And he loves macaroni and cheese."
"Hmm." John smiled. "Coming right up, then."
-
"Well, now you can't kiss me."
Heero looked up. "What?"
"You ate salami," Duo huffed. "Now we can't kiss."
"Oh." Heero nodded, going back to his dish and eating with more vigor than before. "Darn."
Duo made a face at him. "I am never eating Thanksgiving dinner with you ever again."
Heero sighed forlornly into his forkful of meat. "Double darn."
Duo laughed, throwing a cheesy macaroni noodle at him. "Ungrateful bastard."
-
"Here you are, sir." John put a plate of macaroni in front of him, handing him the glass of water next. "The macaroni combo."
Heero thanked him, making a mental note to tip well. He stared at the food in front of him.
He really hated macaroni. But, still. Heero dug in, smiling slightly.
"I am thankful for you, Duo. I'll tell you that one day."
happy belated thanksgiving! ♥
