WIP Wednesday (4/10) | Mafia Front Restaurant AU (Part 132)
“What was the verdict? Am I allowed to stay?” Andrew asks when Neil comes back out. He gestures to the kitchen. “Now that you’ve discussed with the council, I mean.”
Neil makes a face, “I wouldn’t call Jean and me a council.”
“Ah, but you’re forgetting your third member.” Andrew says, wagging a finger. When Neil opens his mouth, Andrew holds up his hand. “Don’t bother. You can’t lie him away this time.”
“I can’t?”
“No. I’m afraid Kevin is a bit too loud to ignore.” Andrew admits. Hearing Kevin's voice again, even from another room, did something to Andrew’s stomach that he’s trying his best to ignore.
“God, tell me about it,” Neil grumbles, rolling his eyes. Andrew raises a brow at that, but Neil just shakes his head. “I asked and Jean is making bœuf bourguignon today.”
“Bœuf bourguignon, huh? I thought this was supposed to be an Italian place.” Andrew says, thinking of the spaghetti he was served during his first two visits despite the French name on the sign.
Neil bites his lip. “New management.”
“So soon?”
“Yes. What do you think about the menu for today?”
“Huh. I’ve never had it before. What is it exactly?”
“Uh. Stew, I think.” Neil guesses with a shrug. “I’m not really sure. Whatever it is, it takes forever apparently. It won’t be ready until dinner time. So if you don’t want to stay—”
“No, I don’t mind. I have nowhere else to be. And I like pancakes. So jot me down a pile of those, would you?”
Neil’s mouth pops open. “How did you—”
“I just told you. I heard Kevin say, ‘You’re making pancakes?!’ like an excitable toddler.” Andrew says, pitching his voice higher in a bad imitation. Neil lets out a breath.
“Okay. I’ll tell Jean you’re staying. And I’ll get us something to drink while I’m back there.”
“Us? You’re going to join me?”
“If that’s alright,” Neil says, looking about as sheepish as the nephew of a mob boss can.
Andrew nods after a second. “It is.”

everyone always wants a piece of the director. she might have hesitated a moment longer before picking up the service weapon if she'd known exactly what it would entail. not the whole hiss situation necessarily but the job and the bureaucracy and everything. jesse was slowly understanding why emily said doctor darling slept in the oldest house on some occasions, but she hadn't quite gotten to that point (and would prefer not to). somehow, an afternoon had cleared itself of meetings or demonstrations or reports, and so she wandered down to the maintenance sector to check in with someone she had been neglecting.
finally! where have you been? a typical ahti greeting if there was ever one, the janitor not hiding how he felt from his voice as she stepped into his office.
❛ sorry, ahti. ❜ jesse rubs the back of her neck in a sheepish manner, averting his sharp gaze. even though she was technically his boss, there was always a sense that he was the gatekeeper between the oldest house and the world beyond. after all, @yontonyo was the first person she met when arriving. plus it was a nice change of pace to simply run errands for him every now and then, relieving the burden of upper management temporarily. ❛ i meant to come down sooner but i had trouble getting away. but i'm here now. ❜

for once i almost (i said ALMOST) don't care that the crimes in oc are boring as fuck because instead their channeling their unhinged energy into the character work instead. the stabler sibling story is actually. immediately incredible.
