I'm pretending I can actually write
Fandom: Typoverse.
Who: Radu & Minori.
Prompt Table: #4
Word(s): drug, taste
What: Minori & Radu’s normal routine.
Warnings: Er… mentions of drugs, Radu’s bitchiness, Minori’s energy and enthusiasm, and a liberal use of the word “and” and commas. And I’m pretending I can write Minori.
It’s something of a routine they both fall into, somewhere along the line. Radu will walk into the café every morning, grumbling, hair messier than normal, smoking, for a cup of tea before he heads to wherever he goes off too. Usually it’s the library. Not exactly like clockwork but more or less within the same two hour frame. And Minori will make it her personal duty to attend to the ‘Baron-sama’. And she’ll take his order all while conversing with him. At least it’s conversing to her, since she’s the one who energetically doing all the talking, and other than normal customary pleasantries, and his order, all the responses from Radu consist of ‘ers’, ‘uhms’, and ‘ahs’ all used in various combinations, looking extremely on the edge every time.
And then she’ll scurry off while repeating the order. Except it’s not what he ordered, it never is. And he’ll call after trying to tell her, but she’ll never listen. And he’ll always, always, end up with cream and sugar sprinkled with a bit of tea. And something to eat, which he didn’t order, because Minori insists he eat something.
Radu has never liked cream or sugar. It’s never agreed with his system well. Even when he was a kid.
He’ll drink it every time. It’s either this or the horrid whatever-they-call-it-because-it’s-certainly-not-tea he gets at the hotel, because at Minori’s tea has some actual tea in it. And it wakes him up in the end, even if it means the first thing he’ll do when he reaches the library, is rush to the restroom to throw up the tea and whatever he’s eaten in a toilet bowl.
Somewhere along the line, Minori figures out that no, Radu isn’t joking. He really is a vampire, not exactly like Aido-san, but in the general sense. He really means opium when he says it, not cream. He actually needs the drug, in a way. And that he hates the excess of cream and sugar because it makes him sick. So she eventually corrects that mistake.
Thankfully he has no problem with the food. In fact he likes it.
Somewhere along the line Radu figures out that Minori doesn’t mean to try and poison him with the “tea” and that, no, she isn’t like Dietrich at all. She isn’t going to use him as a live experiment. In fact she’s just simply incredibly energetic, all the bloody time, and she really does mean well, if the ‘on the house’ food is any indication. So even if the tea will likely kill him (no the fact that he’s learnt death is not permanent in this place doesn’t count) and she’s a Terran, he can’t hold it against her because she doesn’t mean to do it.
Besides she does eventually finally understand, and he gets opium in his tea. Even if it’s a bit too much.
Somewhere along the line, Radu grudgingly admits, they become friends.
Now if she’d only stop asking him about how his relationship with the young female Phantomhive is going, all the bloody time.
