Schu and Aya are having a domestic day at Schu's flat together. Their kind of domestic.

"This ice tea is good. Are you sure you made it?" Aya asked as he continued to drink.

"You suck... not nearly enough. Yeah, I made it. I put a pitcher of water with some tea bags out in the sun. Big deal." Schu stretches out on the chair to be more enticing.

"Are you trying to distract me from the tea?"

As much as Nagi has been pleased to return to his own world, it takes a very short time for him to remember all the reasons he's annoyed with the people in it. On the off chance that Schu is doing someone more important, Nagi tries calling first.

Ring, ring!

"That's your cell phone."

No kidding, kitten. I'm getting it. ::flips open his phone:: Hello. Chez Schu.

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

"Hey. Can I come over? There's too many people around here that piss me off." Nagi doesn't bother saying who he is, because, well, duh.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Aya's here. You wouldn't mind seeing Aya, would you?

"He didn't seem to mind last time."

Nagi's special. Never assume.

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

Nagi half-smiles at the side conversation, but it doesn't carry into his voice. "Don't think so. Will he mind if I say rude things about the Spawn? Because I probably will."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Are you okay with him saying rude things about the Spawn?

"What?"

Maybe I should let Nagi explain it.

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

Nagi snorts. "That means I'm going to say rude things when I explain. Great plan, Schu."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

I think it's a great idea! That way you can see how he reacts even before you arrive! I'm handing the phone to him now.

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

"...okay?" That didn't exactly work out the way Nagi meant, but he should have known better.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

::He should have. Schu is evil.::

::Aya has the phone.:: "Hello?"

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

"Hey. One of the biggest sources of annoyance in my life right now is the Persia in my world. Is it going to upset you if I start insulting him? Normally, I wouldn't care, but I still kinda hope to sleep with you some day, so I guess I should care about your feelings or something."

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

"It was more surprising when the Nagi in my world was working with Mamoru than that you have issues with Persia. I'll survive hearing some badmouthing.

"...thank you for your openness."

How do you feel about sleeping with him?

"You can find out later."

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

"I heard that, you know." And Nagi would rather like to know the answer as well, but only if it's in his favor. "Should I pick up food on the way?"

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

"I could eat. Schu can always eat."

I resent that. But I could eat. Surprise us, Nagi.

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

"Alright. Be there soon." Nagi hangs up. It's about twenty minutes later that he knocks on Schuldig's door.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

::Schu opens the door. He and Aya are both wearing lightweight summer clothes and house slippers.:: Come in. Iced tea? You can add sugar at your own rate. Mr. Boring over there isn't into pre-sweetened.

"I don't like really sweet things."

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

"Wish I'd known that before I picked up the food." Nagi switches to his own slippers before helping himself to tea, and tastes it before adding three heaping spoonfuls of sugar.

"Food now or later?"

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

You know Ayas, honey. Food now. ::They might want to be occupied later.::

"Food now is fine."

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

"The only Aya I was in the habit of eating with is a girl. And the last Aya I ate with treated me to ice cream." Nagi's proud of that one, since it was on Aya's birthday. Besides, Nagi's in the mood to grumble about things.

The meal consists of asparagus in basalmic vinegar and sea salt, garlic-ginger pasta tossed with pine nuts and carrots, honey-glazed strawberry salad, oysters, and truffles (the mushroom kind, not the candy kind). There are also chocolate pastry cups with nutmeg-vanilla sauce and raspberries for dessert.

Nagi also got a bottle of red wine, though he's content with iced tea.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

I never underestimate your mooching powers. I bet it wasn't one of the really sweet flavors he chose for himself. ::Looking at the food, Schu sees what you did thar, Nagi, and he's amused.::

"It looks interesting. I'm interested in trying something new."

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

Nagi is also amused now, mostly because Schu gets it and Aya doesn't. "Oh? Which parts are new to you, Aya?" Nagi picks up a length of asparagus and nibbles on it.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

::Aya isn't sneaky in that way. Schu sees that as at once a debit and a thing to take advantage of.::

"The pasta is tossed with some things I'm not familiar with. The strawberries are glazed with honey?"

::Schu is setting out plates, cups, eating utensils, and napkins. He can too be domestic.::

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

Nagi nods and licks his fingers clean. "The spices on the pasta should be fairly familiar, so only the pine nuts will be new. And yeah, it's a light dressing on the strawberries." After a moment's debate, Nagi snags another spear of asparagus.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

"Pine nuts. That's what I'm not used to." ::Aya takes some asparagus to make sure Nagi doesn't eat it all. He raises an eyebrow as Schu snatches some off his plate.:: "A light dressing should be good. Thank you for this. Usually food in this place is made only by me."

I made something for your birthday.

::Aya blushes a little.:: "And it was good. What should I get you for yours?"

I don't know. I like a lot of stuff.

[killwithmymind.livejournal.com]

"Schu likes surprises, so if you plan too far in advance, you raise the odds of him figuring out what you're up to." Nagi shifts to behaving himself enough to dish food out onto his plate.

...mostly. "Hey, Schu, what do you think of the sauce on the strawberries." Nagi offers a strawberry on his fork.
