Summary: This piece is set in the universe of my WIP story 'Fence Talks.' For those who are not familiar, Michael was released from Sona but in a bad condition.
Preparation can take you only so far
He is tired and still quite feeble to even get up from his bed. Yet mentally, Michael's brain already works on full speed, his plans including a certain auburn-haired doctor.
However, if he doesn't get up from this bed very soon, his plans will stay only in realms of wishful thinking. He can barely sit for more than twenty minutes and even then needs the support of numerous cushions.
Michael sighs in frustration. He needs help, he knows, but whom to ask for something this….delicate?
The door creaks open and the head of his nephew appears in the doorway.
"Hey Uncle Mike, you up? Dad sent me to check on you and ask if you needed anything. He finally forced Sara to get some sleep, so you are stuck with me I guess." He flashes Michael a genuine smile and Michael feels the corners of his own mouth twitch upwards.
"No I am fine." He says but rethinks immediately. "Actually, I could use your help with something…"
LJ steps into the room, closing the door behind him. "Of course Uncle Mike. Anything."
"I kinda need…could you please…" Michael surrenders, "…find a recipe for Filet Mignon and write it down for me, then go shopping for the ingredients?" Michael's ears burn with awkwardness yet LJ only smiles knowingly.
"Sara?"
"Yeah, Sara." Admits Michael sheepishly and LJ laughs.
"Consider it done!" Without any further questioning LJ leaves the room in order to execute Michael's plans.
God, how he only loves this kid.
