Luke's Diner, Thursday
Ugh. That jerky white kid was back at the house again this morning. After the...issue...that had arisen when Alec, Jerkface, and Weird Girl had woken up sharing a bed, Alec had been more than happy to spend all of yesterday avoiding them, even if that had meant participating in the paintball thing. But he hadn't had any of his fake credit cards or IDs on him, so he'd ended up going back to the house last night.
To find Jerkface also there. Ugh. And he thought Weird Girl might have been around, too, but she was fast and kinda creepy, so it wasn't like he'd gone looking.
So Alec was out of the house as soon as he was up (at the crack of noon!), casually swiping one of the expensive laptops that had been lying around. Maybe if he could hack into that (maybe? HA!), he could get himself an ID and a cash stream and away from the house. Before Jerkface could decide to beat him up for, like, existing or whatever.
The sign on the restaurant's window caught his eye:
Today's Specials
Yeah, we know you don't have money. Come in and get a meal and pay us back next week. Unless you're Eliot, Hardison, Miguel, orKanan Caleb. You gotta work.
Spaghetti and Meatballs
Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup
Shrimp Fajitas (You're welcome, adults)
Free food? Ish? Alec was going to worry about why he was singled out later. He was going in to peel some potatoes and get a huge helping of spaghetti and meatballs.

Granted, he still wouldn't stop her. Mostly because he didn't see a point to it.
"Nah," Alec said, peeling carrots for more soup. "I don't mind helpin' out 'round the kitchen. I do it at my Nana's all the time."
Beat.
"Why're you here?" If that came out as an accusation, that was because it was meant to be one.

She pointed solemnly at the freezer in answer to his question, and then picked up a peeled potato to sniff it. Then started nibbling. "Jock Boy isn't around, right?"
no subject
He wasn't sure what he'd do--probably nothing, at least until he got that computer unlocked--but still. Ugh. "You don't wanna eat that. Raw potato's gross. Why do you wanna get into the freezer?"
no subject
"Promise not to try to stop me? I don't wanna have to hurt you." Parker's squirrelly look was pretty much composed of side-eyeing and a weird little smile, and Alec was getting the full benefit of it now.
no subject
Entirely relating to that grin, even more than the threat.
no subject
Parker tip-toed over to the freezer, looked around, then opened it with a flourish.
A couple snowflakes fell on the kitchen floor.
"This."
no subject
Alec's eyes first fell to the snowflakes. "So? It needs a good defrost--whoa!"
Guess who had finally realized he should look up?

One day, this dynamic would feel very familiar.

"Come see!" Parker reached in and pulled out a bag of ... frozen french fries? Why not. "I did this before, but the Jock hung onto me until the polar bear left."
no subject
Alec, you would do the exact same thing if you saw one, don't even front.

About a bear in a freezer.
"Oh shit!" He couldn't help the automatic glance around to make sure his Nana hadn't heard him and was reaching for the soap. "Is the freezer Narnia?"

...But he couldn't deny, there was a whole, like, Arctic tundra in there. And the building they were standing in was not big enough to support an Arctic tundra.
