Authors Note-Fluffy bonding and actual development, yay!
"I-I-I am!" Samandriel sputtered out, glaring at Adam. The blond nodded and smirked at the angel, "Sure you are honey. Sure you are." He glanced around at his room, smiling at its somewhat clean state and gave one nod, "Now I think it's time for food." Samandriel looked slightly embarrassed at this, "Adam…I believe you will have to go purchase some food." Adam shook his head with a smile, "We're going to the diner."
In less than ten minutes they had walked down the street and were sitting in a booth with Samandriel looking wide eyed around at the place. "Adam!" One of the waitresses smiled at him and he returned it, "Hey Rose." She reached over and tousled his hair without noticing Samandriel staring at her curiously. "Boy, it's been a long time since you showed your face around this town. You staying a while this time or you just dropping by?" Her attention suddenly went to the other person in the booth and she smiled at him, "And who is this?" Adam swallowed quickly and spoke before the angel could, "Samandriel. He was my roommate in Wisconsin." Samandriel flashed him a frown for the lie but Rose just smiled wider, "Look at you Adam, making friends." She bumped is arm his her hip before grabbing out her flip-pad," I reckon y'all want to eat sometime today so what will you have sugar?" She raised an eyebrow towards the angel who seemed lost for words. "My regular, for both of us," Adam supplied, nodding towards Rose. She gave Adam a wondering look but wrote it down anyway, squeezing his arm before heading back to the kitchen, "It's good to see you again, Adam."
"Your regular?" The angel raised an eyebrow at Adam and he shrugged. "This is the only diner in this town, I used to work here when I was in high school, I think they know what I like to eat." Samandriel frowned a bit, "But I do not have to eat." Adam waved a hand towards him, "Try it, you'll like it. Food never hurt anyone…well…that was a bad use for that phrase but Alfie will appreciate it. Trust me."
Rose returned shortly with two Cokes and straws, setting them down in front of the boys. Samandriel eyed the drink suspiciously and Rose raised an eyebrow towards him but turned her attention to Adam, "So you never told me, you staying a while?" Adam nodded a little, "I think I might." She gave him a crooked smile and grabbed a yellow piece of paper out of her pocket, setting it down in front of him, "We're looking for another hand." Adam cocked an eyebrow at her, picking up the paper, "Feels like it hasn't been that long since I filled out of these out of the first time." Rose smiled and nodded, "Well, if you ain't got nowhere else to go, we got you a spot right here, probably even got your old apron in the back." Adam chuckled, "I would have hoped that I'd grown out of it." She rolled her eyes, "You still as skinny as a rail, Adam Milligan, don't get your hopes up on that."
