MHA #16 - Friday Evening After Sunset

[itsananomaly]

Cutter was still feeling a little restless from the other day and even though that stone had helped, he still couldn’t help but wonder about what it meant that he had been dreaming of Captain Ryan and then the last couple of days he had started dreaming of Stephen as well but it was Stephen before everything had happened with Helen, the Stephen he had happy memories of and that just made his restless energy grow.

After nervously pacing his flat for a bit to try and get rid of some of the restlessness that he was feeling, he decided to try and do something productive and after a while he thought maybe he should try and do some laundry, the pile had been growing steadily bigger since Rex had found Connor’s hoodie the other week. Maybe he should at least start organising the piles of laundry that he had.

As he bent down to start sorting through those piles of clothes, he thought he really did need to get more social … it was a Friday night and he was there doing laundry.

Cutter gave a small smile at that, "not one of my smartest moments that was for sure," he said and then was quiet for a moment, "thank you for bringing me back though, I know how difficult I was being at that point ... I am grateful you brought me back," he told him.

"Just doing my job. And besides, you were already starting to grow on me by that point for some reason" Ryan said with a smirk. "Which is also why.... I think we need to mark this little impromptu visit with a proper meal!"

Cutter grinned at that, “well I’ve been told I do grow on people,” he said and then tilted his head, “a proper meal? That does sound nice,” he admitted.

"So, I think... if you can point me in the right direction... I'll grab some stuff and whip up a nice meal for us to celebrate this weekend. Have any requests? I actually have a pretty extensive repertoire of dishes." Yes Ryan was full of surprises.

“Maybe you can surprise me?” Cutter said with a smile, “I never pictured you for being a cook,” he admitted, admittedly there wasn’t a lot about Ryan he had known outside of the Home Office, “uh …you might have to do a lot of food shopping, I don’t have a lot of food,” he admitted.

"One surprise meal coming up" Ryan said as he grabbed a piece of paper and pen off the nearby table and started jotting down the things he would need. "Guess one of the good things about a place like this- not a far walk from one place to another. Because lord help anyone that tried to navigate all these stairs other than on foot!" Ryan laughed and finished his list and held onto it as he looked back at Cutter, and fiddled with it a bit, almost nervously. "Hopefully won't take me too long to get the stuff."

Cutter smiled at that, "it does take some getting used to, all those stairs," he agreed, "and Turtle & Canary should have everything you need, it usually has a wide selection of different options," he told Ryan, "so you should only need to go to the one store,"

Ryan nodded and gave a small salute to Cutter and smiled. "Yes sir! I'll be back with enough stuff to make a meal to feed an army. Gotta make sure you eat once I am gone after all" he added with a smirk as he headed for the door.
