Order Up! (Kentale/Algernon)

[clementine]

"Alge, just c'mon!" Eddie whined, tugging on his brother's hand to get him to hurry up into the nice restaraunt. HIs mate had already disappeared inside, leaving Eddie to cope by himself.

"No!" Algernon snapped, brown eyes flashing. "I told you I hate playing third wheel with you to love birds!" He dug his feet into the ground, refusing to be moved. The brothers arguments a few moments longer.

"But Clifford made reservations and everything! The chef here is supposed to be super good." Eddie pouted, pulling his puppy dog look complete with teary eyes. The look rendered Alge incapable of saying now and hew as dragged into the restaurant.

A little later, Algernon found himself seated against his brother and The Damn Cat. He tried not to gag as they started making kissy faces right off. Alge moaned and hid behind his menu.

[praiseofblood]

A maitre'd came out and looked at the group. "Sir Clifford, pleasure to see you again." he said with a little smile. "Chef Akahai's specials for today are a roast youfe, smothering in a sweet berry sauce, earth styled fillet mignon and mushrooms with a light salad, and Sensaforian glorn served with any sides you wish a light rosemary sauce." he said, looking at the two humans witht the prominent male curiously.

[clementine]

The well-to-do business man casually put his arm around Eddie's shoulder protectively. "Sounds delightful." Cliff smiled, showing of his pearly white teeth. Alge gulped, trying to shrink down in his seat. Fucking cats. He disliked every last one of them. It was one of the reasons he hated going anywhere. They were always there, waiting.

Alge blanked, looking away and out over the beautiful restaraunt, ignoring the conversation. When the maitre'd left with their orders, Algernon got an earful.

"That was rude of you." Cliffored pointed out with a sniff of disdain as he sipped at his water. "You could have a least smiled at the man."

"Just shut up." Algernon muttered, holding back all the mean things he wanted to say. He didn't fight with Cliff cause Eddie begged him not to.

[praiseofblood]

Kentale was in the kitchen, silently surveying his cooks. He blinked as he heard new orders called and went to gather the supplies, his staff used to his silence. Those with free hands set on the orders, and left the big things to the talented young cook. His soux chef, Rema, looked to him. "Need any help there?" He asked, and upon recieving a shake of the head from Kentale, went about his business, ordering the other shefs around.

[clementine]

Algernon was turning more and more pale by the moment. He had to make a run for it. If another Zercan looked at him, he felt sure he would run screaming made from the room. That, coupled with the fact that Eddie was whispering sweet nothings into Cliff's ear clinched it for Alge.

"Um, you know what?" He announced, suddenly standing. "I'm going to the loo and...erm, powder my nose or whatever the hell it is they do on this planet." Without waiting for a response, Alge fled. He knew he couldn't go out the front doors because Eddie would see and make a fuss. That was when he spotted the servers entrance to the kitchens. It was out of the sight of the slobbering couple.

Without a second thought. Alge pushed his way through, knowing there had to be a back exit on the other side.

[praiseofblood]

Kentale was just walking by the doors with a cutting board of perfectly diced and chopped vegetables when he was collided into by a thin body. He frowned, steadying the male with a strong arm and his cutting board with the other, placing it on the counter quickly before looking at what looked to be one of the customers in utter confusion. What was he doing back here?

"Excuse me, sir, but the bathroom's out that way." Rema said, coming over and looking at the male. "This kitchen is for staff only." he said to the male.

[clementine]

Gasping, Algernon jerked back when he had collided with a well muscled body. He looked up for a moment at the silent male, brown eyes rather wide in apprehension. He stepped back, suddenly unnerved as he brushed his scruffy blond hair out of his eyes.

"I'm not looking for the loo." Alge replied firmly, whipping his head around to look at the cat seaking to him. "I'm leaving, so if you'll please move." He was already pushing past the cook, having spotted the back door.

[praiseofblood]

Kentale stepped back, giving the male no trouble moving past him as he hefted up his board and returned to his cooking. Rema looked at Kentale in disbelief, "Can he do that?"

Kentale looked at him with a look that read: "Apparently," as he went back to cooking.

[clementine]

Praise god he was free! Algernon took a dramatic gulp of fresh air, knowing his looked a little crazy as he stumbled out of the alley. He ignored the few servers lounging on break as he walked the short distance to the sidewalk. There, much better, especially without so many cats about.

[praiseofblood]

Much later, Kentale was heading back to his apartment after the restaurant had closed. He ran a hand through his dark hair, looking up at the blue mooned sky. It was a warm night out and the cool breeze felt nice on his skin. He sighed, thinking hazily back to that strange human. He'd never seen one before today, but he had to wonder if they were all that beautiful?

[clementine]

"I said fuck off Cliff!" Alge shrieked at the top of his lungs as he slapped the redheaded Zercan so he could pull away from his grasp. "I'm going home. MY home. Not yours."

"I won't have a...relative living in such squalor. I won't let your ruin my reputation Algernon. Now get it the car." Cliff grabbed Alge again only to have his cock nearly broken as it was kneed fiercely. Algernon broke away and went tearing down the pavement to his new, and promised, apartment.

The Zercan who was walking in the same direction was ignored as Alge flew past him and slammed into the apartment building, leaving Cliff yelling after him.

[praiseofblood]

Kentale blinked, looking between the two males, before making sure the Zercan could stand. He recognized the male from his restaurant, and waved off his thanks before heading to his home. He opened the door to his apartment building and going up to the top floor in the elevator. So that pretty human lived here? Ken was unaware of that.

As he entered, a small round furball came tumbling out. Kentale blinked, picking up the...what was it? A tiny little kit. Except not. He cocked his head at the kitten as it meowed at him, and he held the tiny thing in his hands. Who's kit was this?

[clementine]

"Virgil!" Alge cried in abject relief when he'd spotted that familiar Zercan holding his kitten. "Get your hands off him!" The blond added, glaring fiercely as he went to gently remove his cat from the chef's fingers. "It's okay sweetling, you're safe." He murmured over the animal, wondering how the little thing had escaped from his apartment. Again.

[praiseofblood]

Kentale was confused. He didn't do anything. He blinked at the human before reshouldering his bag and heading inside of his apartment without a word. Dinner then bed sounded like a good idea, even as the kitty mewled after him.

[clementine]

Alge watched as the male turned to leave, surprised when the Zercan hadn't said anything. The human suddenly yelped though and dropped Virgil when the little menace clawed him to chase after Kentale.

"Vigril!" Alge cried, watching as the kitten darted between the Zercan's legs and into his apartment. "Come back you stupid cat!" He called, wanting to follow, but not wanting to barge into some strange man's apartment.
