"Are ya sure ya bought enough food?" Dee asked, amused, as he watched Ryo stowing the contents of several grocery bags in cupboards that already looked crammed to bursting point.

"I hope so." Ryo tossed a wry grin Dee's way. "It's Bikky's turn to host a sleepover at the weekend; I'll have six starving adolescent boys to feed instead of just one."

"Damn, I wouldn't wanna be stuck with that grocery bill!"

"It's only once every couple of months, and I've been slowly stocking up over the past two or three weeks so I didn't have to get everything at once, but even with all this, by the time the ravening horde leaves the cupboards will be almost empty."

"Growin' kids have healthy appetites." Dee knew that from the orphanage; he took additional supplies for Mother's kids whenever he could, but it was just a drop in the ocean compared to how much food was required.

"Don't I know it!" Ryo closed the last cupboard door and folded up the empty grocery sacks. "I don't remember getting through so much food when I was their age."

"Neither do I. Bet we did though."

"I suppose. I half want to hide some food in my bedroom just in case they don't leave anything for me."

Dee laughed. "Tell ya what, you run outta anything, give me a call and I'll do a grocery run for ya. I wouldn't want ya goin' hungry."

"Thanks, Dee; I'll remember that."

"Anything for you, babe."
