Vice AU - Vacation

[sliceitwithwind]

Dilan needed a break before the others did, although not by much. He needed to recover from having been ill, and he REALLY needed a good workout or seven. Spending the time in Aya's apartment wasn't bad, and after his first trip to Nara's gym he came back to spend some time watching TV and doing his hair.

Which is why when Ben got in there was a seven foot tall fluffy Katzu wearing a towel and a hell of a lot of piercings lounging in front of the TV with wax.

Comments

"Yeah, I doubt they make them that big...and I don't know about the penguins. Better just not to eat any." BIG sigh.

[mitochondriaaya]

"Man, that sucks." He felt you Dilan, he felt you. No giant M&M's. No penguin eating. Laaaame. "Can I take some of this for lunch tomorrow?"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Sure." Dilan said, "Take as much as you want."

[mitochondriaaya]

"Cool! Here, there's stuff to put things in in this drawer..." yep, scrambling off the chair so he could grab containers! "This is awesome and they'd never make it at the cafeteria!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Awesome." Dilan helped Ben put things away, "I'll try to cook enough for lunches as well while I'm here."

[mitochondriaaya]

"That would be great! We cook extra for lunches a lot too, but I forgot yesterday." Because he cheated and had pizza. Mini pizzas! It was okay as long as it wasn't something he did a lot! "I made them out of English muffins and put toppings on and stuff, there's a goat cheese mozarella that melts okay, and it's better on pizza than on sandwiches." And he still took his pill just in case!

[sliceitwithwind]

"No problem. And if you have any favourites just let me know and I'll write the recipe down for you."

[mitochondriaaya]

"Oh, hey!" Ben grinned, stuffed his containers in the fridge, then trotted off to fetch NOTECARDS! "We have a recipe box for recipes that aren't in a book!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Awesome. Do you want the rice recipe?" Or the dessert one, but lets start with the meal itself.

[mitochondriaaya]

"Sure, we can write it down and if Aya doesn't like it we'll still have it so I can make it for other people!" Like culture festivals and stuff! "Aya will probably like it though."

[sliceitwithwind]

"Sounds good...she's liked everything I've made so far." He paused in speaking while writing down, then said, "Or at least I think she has. She hasn't complained, anyway."

[mitochondriaaya]

"She has to eat, but if she doesn't like what she's eating she'll tell you!" Ben knew that for a fact! "And then after the meal she'll take you in the kitchen and try to help you figure out where things went wrong!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Oh, good." Dilan smiled, "That's what I like to hear."

[mitochondriaaya]

"Really?" Ben looked up at the older man, amused. "I thought adults would angry if she wanted to do that with their food!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"How else do you learn?" Dilan asked, "If you do it right, you never stop asking questions and you never stop learning. Life would be beyond boring if I didn't listen to people with different ideas and tastes."

[mitochondriaaya]

"Yeah, that makes sense, but a lot of adults say they already know everything!" Or close to it!

[sliceitwithwind]

"Which is, frankly, stupid." Dilan told Ben honestly, "Nobody knows everything, and people who think they do usually know less than other people."

[mitochondriaaya]

"Haha!" He laughed, cheerful and like someone who had just had their world view vindicated! "I...would get in trouble if I said that though right?

[sliceitwithwind]

"Yeah, probably." Dilan agreed, "So be careful with your new found knowledge."

[mitochondriaaya]

"I'll only say it to you and Aya then, when someone else is pretending to be a know-it-all." He sniffed. "H\You guys will understand!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Sounds like a plan." he thought about it for a moment, "You can say it to Braig, too. He'll laugh."

[mitochondriaaya]

"Okay, once I know who he is and won't be talking to the wrong guy!" Ben agreed cheerfully. "Anyway, I gotta write an essay. I'll do that upstairs and be back down soon okay?"

[sliceitwithwind]

"My coat's in the coat closet," Dilan offered, "later you can grab my wallet out of it and look for pictures...he's hard to miss. Have fun with the essay."

[mitochondriaaya]

"No way! Those are your pockets man!" Ben was...mildly shocked! SHOCKED! "YOu can show me later." Duh.

"And it's a boring essay but I got all my note cards already." And yes he was going to climb the ladder into the loft now.

[sliceitwithwind]

Dilan took care of the dinner dishes, and tidied up a little bit in the main room, before grabbing his wallet and pulling out the little picture-holder thingy so that Ben could flip through it when he was done with the essay. Braig, Elcy, a double-handful of other people important to Dilan. This was his real wallet, not his Breaker wallet, so there were plenty of pictures of cops in uniform hanging out.
