Blood, Lust and Magic

Lust 037

Holding their tray Dave points at the food behind the screen, "What did you want for dessert Kurt?" The Familiar already has a plate of special food via the dietician ready for him but he's allowed fruit on top of it.

It's fascinating to listen in as Kurt eyes up the different fruits on display and the memories of taste and texture float along the bond to him, it's followed by images of fruit and it seems Kurt wants a bit of a mixture.

"Hi," he smiles at the serving woman, "Can we have a few strawberries, some grapes, some pear and peach slices and a banana to top it off?" For a second the woman looks likes she's going to argue but her eyes flick to Ivy whose hand is stroking Kurt's hair and gives in without an argument.

It was kind of fun to walk next to the big bad head of the Specials and watch people scurry out of her way, and the looks they got were funny as if they thought Dave was worth anything.

Master gets the nice tasty fruit for him and puts it on the tray, then they go to sit down and Master makes him eat the food on the plate, "You can have the fruit once you've had your main course," Master is firm and he tries to get Master to let him have the fruit but Master says no.

Picking up his fork he starts to eat the food on the plate but keeps his eye on the fruit. Master has gotten him a plastic cup of fizzy drink, bubbles pop on his tongue when he sips from it and it's clear while Master's is dark brown almost black.

Well at least Kurt isn't being too affected by this equivalent of a house arrest if he's happy to argue about why he should eat dessert before his main course, he'd given in fairly easily and he supposes it's a good sign that Kurt's so naturally stubborn.

Ivy's mouth is twitching and she hides her smile behind her own food, "After lunch would you and Fancy like to go to the exercise area?"

"Yeah, if you can swing it," Dave is all for not being stuck indoors though he wonders what she's planning since she sprung the teaching thing on him without warning.

All around them Specials of all types filter in and get food, there's a little bit of space around them that no one is willing to enter, it's like Ivy's got some sort of Specials Repellent on. There are so many sideways looks at them that Dave shifts a bit uncomfortably in his seat.

Everything seems to be rolling off of Ivy's back but then he sees her eyes tighten slightly as the conversations in the room stay low and it's clear no one is going to relax while she's in the room. He's heard so many stories of her being the bitch that crushes the balls of her enemies that it hadn't occurred to her that he never hears stories about her friends, but if you're the head of something like the Specials it must be hard to know who your real friends are.

Turning that over he watches more closely as she interacts with Kurt, she's helping him with placing his hands on his cup, this one doesn't have the handy grips on the side for him. She's got endless patience for the man and it must be nice to be around someone with no agenda of their own, Kurt simply wants to have fun and is such a happy person.

"Do you wanna join us for the exercise thing?" Dave offers on a spur of the moment thing, "Kurt really likes having you around," he uses that as an excuse, and it's not a lie because Kurt really does like having Ivy around.

"Sure," she smiles and gives him a warm look, "I don't know how much time I'll have to spare…"

"No probs," he shrugs it off, she probably never has a lot of time to spare for anything that isn't work, "You know he'll be happy with anything."

Master and dangerous woman are talking, they are talking about dangerous woman coming with them if they go outside. He hopes she does come with them, it is fun to go outside, it is always fun with Master.

Dangerous woman smiles at Master again and he knows Master is being amazing again.

Eating the last piece of food on his plate he touches Master's arm so show that it is all gone, "Hey Kurt, that's great, do you want your fruit now?" Of course he wants the fruit and he tells Master that. Master chuckles and moves the dish with the fruit in towards him, "Eat it slowly or you'll give yourself hiccups," he is warned and he reaches out to grasp a grape and obediently eats it slowly savouring the taste of the fruit.

Master who is Dave is so good to him.

Leaving Kurt to eat his fruit Dave piles up the plates and stuff back onto the tray, he's used to doing that since Santana rarely does, the woman is gorgeous and scary as fuck but she's such a slob.

It's weird that he can actually taste the fruit Kurt's eating and his mouth waters slightly, Kurt must have felt it through the bond because the Familiar holds out a grape to him, "For me?" He gets the positive affirmation and takes the grape, "Thank you Kurt."

Munching on the grape he takes his time to show Kurt that he obeys the same eat your fruit slowly rule.

Ivy's hiding another smile, this time behind her drink, he can't help widening his eyes slightly and rolling them at her, she splutters into her drink and coughs to hide her laugh. Kurt barely pauses in his fruit eating and is stuffing a lump of banana in his mouth, the same mouth that is curving up a tiny amount.

God Dave can't believe how far the man has come and he smiles to himself.

Then he frowns because Kurt's smeared half the lump of banana around his face, "No Kurt," he makes the man turn his head and wipes his face with a napkin, "Food goes in your mouth," and there are snorts and chuckles from around the room, apparently watching Kurt eat fruit was some kind of entertainment.

He's a bit annoyed that they'd laugh at someone like Kurt but when he looks up he notices the Specials are watching Kurt with expressions of amusement without an ounce of nastiness in them. A few of them remind him of their guards and there are a couple of Empaths that are twitching and he'll bet they want over here, Kurt tended to draw people to him.

Hmm perhaps that was Ivy's plan to show him off so they can see that he might be Broken but that isn't all he is.

And then Kurt's finished eating and hits him with the urge to pee, "Um, Kurt needs the bathroom," Dave stands up and nods at Ivy, "We won't be long."

Master understands and Master leads him to the toilet so he can pee, his hands are covered with fruit so Master makes him wash first then he goes into the cubicle to pee.

Walking out afterwards Master helps him wash his hands and then they go back into the eating room, he can feel the Empaths in the room touching Master with their minds so they can read his emotions, he tells Master as quietly as he can and Master's squeezes his hand slightly.

He is expecting Master to close off from the Empaths and use a shield, but this is Master, so instead Master makes the emotions and thoughts stronger and pushes them outwards.

All around the room Empaths wince and rub their heads, but they do retreat from Master and leave him alone, Master is very clever.

Reaching Ivy Dave keeps a straight face but the woman's shoulders are shaking in suppressed mirth, "Well done Special Wizard Trainer Fury, nicely handled," and then she laughs outright, the Empaths all wince again and stare at their food having been caught red handed by her.

"You'll have to teach me that trick," she stands up with both trays, "Now let's take little Fancy for a short nap and then we'll see about letting you two exercise."

Following her out of the canteen he holds Kurt's hand and he knows they are both looking forward to getting out, even if it is just to the gym with the roofed off courtyard, the sun and sky through glass was better than nothing.


A/N: Sorry for any and all mistakes, I've tried to catch those I could, but I'm only human.
