Valerie looked around,she was sitting on kay’s couch with strict instructions to not go anywhere else, not step in the kitchen and not try to snoop anywhere in the house. Which was a pretty boring thing to do for fifteen minutes,not that it was much but in general her ability to do nothing limited itself to about 5 minutes at a time, otherwise she needed to have her brain engaged in something and her phone had bored her a while ago. She also knew he was probably arranging some sort of birthday surprise which made it hard to focus on anything else, she loved surprises after all and kay was very good at birthdays, maybe the best person she knew at least when it came o her birthdays not that anyone had made much of an effort before him.
“What is your dad doing?” She asked looking at helios and thor when she heard something fall in the kitchen, they both just looked at her blinking before thor decided to come closer to the couch and rest his head on her thigh so she could pet him, thing she promptly did, of course. “Should I go break his no snooping rule, what do you say? I could say that I was just worried something broke and he hurt himself as an excuse to hide my curiosity.”
❝ woah, woah, woah. don’t bring my boys into your schemes. ❞ kay walked into his living room and cradled thor’s head in his hands. ❝ you’re gonna corrupt them. ❞
❝ besides, no need to snoop, i’m all done in the kitchen. come on. ❞ he ruffled thor’s head and gestured for val to follow him into the kitchen. ❝ surprise! ❞ he said, sweeping an arm in front of him. he had set the table with his best dishes and plated their food already. there was caesar salad, potatoes au gratin, and ropa vieja. or, his attempt at ropa vieja. he had followed the online recipe exactly, but he didn’t know if it turned out right or not. which is why he had made extra potatoes, just to be safe.
