Interlude: Kitten on the Doorstep
Schuldig reeled as he Portalled back into his flat. Busy night. He'd found a target on a dance floor Farfarello had been looking for and killed the guy himself out of some urge to finish the dance. After they'd dumped the body and Schuldig had turned down a cut of the reward money, they'd danced and drank for hours before returning to Farfarello's place for dirtier dancing. Schuldig hadn't been this hungover in a long time. Farfie could drink. Schu had easier times with other people's hangovers than his own; the nausea wasn't so bad, for one thing. Farf had entertained himself by trying to gross Schu out once they woke up, so it was time to go.
Shit, he had nothing edible in his own flat, and he knew he'd be hungry later. Grocery shopping. Blaaah. He hated it. He needed minions, dammit.
Schu didn't bother showering or changing; he just put his darkest sunglasses and a heavier coat on before leaving. But as he reached the front door he felt a familiar presence outside: Aya.
Schu's talent so dwarfed Aya's that it wasn't hard to keep himself cloaked until he walked around Aya and stood in front of him. "What the hell are you doing here?"
Aya didn't let much of his surprise at Schuldig popping up so suddenly show. "I've been looking for you. Not for my team's sake."
" I know it was over half a year ago, but you should remember that I moved so you couldn't find me."
"I miss you. I haven't seen you since November--"
" When we had sex that you made sure I'd know was purely a booty call thing your boyfriend was kind of allowing. I can get one-night stands anywhere. If I'm risking my freedom just being near you I need a hell of a lot more from you."
"Hnh."
Why did Fujimiya have to be so damned good looking? Why did Schu have to be so weirdly kinked in his direction? "That's profound. Thanks. I have food to get, and you won't still be here when I get back."
"You look awful."
"Thanks. My boyfriend is a bad influence." Schu smirked over the bit of petulance that crossed Aya's face on hearing that. "Go home to your boyfriend and your team that I am never joining. I don't need to be rescued by you."
"But you need food. I've seen what 'cooking' you do."
"Are you offering to be my kitchen bitch? If so, for how long?"
"I object to the title, but I'm willing to make breakfast for you."
"I figured on buying some Chinese food for later and getting some eggs and sausage for breakfast. Even I don't screw up eggs."
"Humor me."
Going grocery shopping with Fujimiya Aya was surreal and ended with Schuldig getting more vegetables than he would've gotten on his own. He told Aya that since he was a country- and and reality-hopping operative if Aya didn't cook them they'd go bad so Schuldig wouldn't pay for them. Aya put them in the basket anyway. Schu got his eggs, sausage, bread, orange juice, and cake, which made him happy. Aya got a little impatient at the Chinese place, though part of that came from Schu flirting with the staff in Cantonese.
When they approached Schu's building, Schu messed with Aya's head so he wouldn't be sure of the building, floor, or flat they ended up in. Aya sighed but didn't protest. When Aya saw that Schu still had house slippers by the door, Schu said, "I lived in Japan for ages. And I sometimes use the slippers you used to use."
Aya slipped on "his" slippers and started making breakfast, saying, "Take a shower."
"How dom of you."
"It's not like you're doing anything more important right now."
A minion who bossed him around? Amused, Schuldig went off to shower. Maybe he'd let Aya visit now and then.
