Howl's Moving Castle Fan Fiction
Chapter 3- Breakfast
Calcifer yawned and sat up on his makeshift bed under the stairs. Birds tweeted outside in the distance, telling him it was early in the morning. The door to the castle opened and shut quietly. Howl walked up the stairs.
"Well, good morning, Calcifer," Howl said, draping his jacket on a chair in front of the fireplace.
"Eh… Where did you go?" Calcifer stretched his arms.
"I had to get some more food. Some mice have been chewing on our bread," Howl answered, putting a basket full of food on the table, "How are you feeling?"
"I'm getting used to being a human. I have to admit though," He yawned and rubbed his tired eyes, "being human does has it's perks. Have you found out anything out yet?"
Howl shook his head, "Afraid not. I'm thinking about asking an old friend of mine if he knows anything."
Calcifer clasped his hands together and begged, "Oh, please do! I'm sorry, but if Markl asks me to play tag or hide and seek one more time! I'm going to kill something!"
"I don't think that'll be necessary, Calcifer. Markl's just excited to have a playmate. I'll do all that I can to find a reverse spell," Howl said as he began to pull out the food form the basket, "Don't give up hope yet. I'm sure we'll find something." Howl started a fire.
"Do you think I should take a shower before or after I make breakfast, Calcifer?" Howl asked the fire demon.
"I don't care. I'm sleeping a bit more. I'm dead tired," Calcifer pulled his covers his face and went back to sleep. Howl sighed and walked up stairs to take a shower before making breakfast.
When he walked back down, hair still wet, he discovered Sophie making bacon with Markl's help. Calcifer stirred in his sleep.
He woke up and sleepily said, "Is that bacon I smell?"
"Yes, it is," Sophie answered, smiling, "You want some?"
"Of course!" Calcifer jumped out of bed on only his boxer shorts and a white t-shirt, Sophie pretended not to notice. He ran over to the table and sat down.
"Sophie, you shouldn't be working so hard," Howl said as he grabbed the pan with cooking bacon out of her hands.
"Howl, I can still cook…," Sophie complained, huffing with her hands on her hips.
He kissed her on her forehead and touched her growing belly, "I know… I just worry sometimes." He tilted his heads and kissed her softly on the lips.
He pulled away and asked, "How much bacon do you want, Calcifer?"
Calcifer thought for a minute, "All of it."
"No," Sophie shook her head, chuckling, "Do you want to get sick? You can only have a serving, which is four pieces. You can have some eggs and things with your bacon." Calcifer slumped in his chair in defeat.
"Darn…," Calcifer cursed.
"I like bacon too, Calcifer," Markl said, "But you can't have all of it. Just be glad you can have some."
"I guess…," Calcifer said, letting off some steam.
"Here you go!" Howl passed out all to everyone, then grabbed a biscuit for himself and started to walk up the stairs.
"Howl, please sit down and actually eat with us," Sophie said.
Howl sighed, "Alright, dear. But, only because you asked me." He sat down and ate his fair share of everything, "Just don't complain if I get fat."
"You won't get fat," Sophie kissed Howl, he smiled at her. Calcifer and Markl giggled.
"Get a room," Calcifer said under his breath as he continued to eat his food. Markl sat beside him, playing with his food.
"Markl, please don't play with your food," Sophie glared at him. Howl stood up and brushed himself off.
"Come on, Calcifer. I'm going to go and talk to that old friend of mine. You wanna come?" He asked Calcifer.
Calcifer nodded, "Yeah, hold on. Let me get dressed first." He rushed to the bathroom to change out of his pajamas.
