Settling themselves in the shelter, Narugami and Yamino listened to the monk tell them of the problems they'd been having. Strange things had been occurring, and then all of a sudden these men showed up, demanding payment to stop it. They didn't have any money, only what they got from donations from the community. Consequently, they'd had to close their doors since they didn't have any money to feed the homeless.
This had sent Narugami into a rage and strangely, Yamino seemed to be the only one to calm him. Yamino offered his services as cook and the monk had nearly wept in tears at the offer. Narugami and Yamino left to get the food they had brought and get things ready to open.
There was a line outside by the time they were ready. Yamino could only stare at all the people, amazed that there were so many homeless people in Tokyo. He'd never really thought much about it, what with living with his father and all. He'd always followed his father rather blindly into whatever situation that Loki was wont to get into.
But this was something that he could something about. After coming to Midgard, Yamino realized that he was good at something that no one else could compare to, at least no one that he knew of. He was good at cooking, or so Mayura and Loki told him constantly. He could please his father with his meals, but he could do more than that here.
These people needed food, otherwise they would starve. And they wouldn't care what it tasted like, just as long as it was hot and filled their cold, empty bellies. He'd found a calling within him, something that he could do something about and do it gladly. He wanted to do this and, somehow, he knew that his father would be proud of him for doing it.
So he offered his services as cook to the monk, much to Narugami's surprise. He hadn't really thought that Loki's son was one to take charge like that, but he was, obviously. He smiled and shook his head, reassuring the monk that all would be well. He would have an excellent cook that could work with just about anything and make it a gourmet meal, and he had Narugami who would take care of the ruffians that dared to try and close the shelter down.
In compensation, Yamino offered to make all of Narugami's meals for as long as they chose to do this little project. Narugami was shocked, and flattered all at the same time. The monk couldn't help but snicker at the two when they'd both suddenly become embarrassed and looked away. They'd been staring at each other for a good five minutes without even realizing it.
Christmas certainly had a way of bringing out the good in people, and this was no exception. It brought out the good, as well as gave everyone new revelations about themselves and those around them.
