I made
Fancy waffles
For the both of them.

Well actually
I just toasted
Them.

They were the
Frozen
Waffles that you buy
In those boxes.

To make them fancy
I just dabbed
Whipped cream
And put two strawberries
On each.

(I gave myself an extra berry)

I stared at my creations.
I just liked it
When
My food looked physically
Appealing.
It really calmed
The OCD side of me.

I heard a door open
From upstairs.
It was obviously Mikey
Then.

I looked at the three plates
And pushed away
The one with the three strawberries.

I picked out
The left plate
For Mikey.
It just felt right
To give him it.

I pretended to fiddle
With the counter tops
Until I heard
Mike's footsteps

Enter the room.

I smiled to myself,
Grabbed the left plate,

"Good morning, Mikes."

Then gave him
The plate.

I was
Extremely tempted
To eat my waffles,
But I wanted to wait
For My Frank.

"Did you sleep well?" I asked him.
I felt very
Self conscious
In this moment.

What if he heard
Frank and I?

I felt the heat
In my face.
I was probably
So red.

"I slept really nicely. I didn't even wake up in the middle of the night. I haven't slept like that in a long time."

The weight
Of the world
Slid off my
Shoulders.

I could relax.
"That makes me really happy."

I shot my head
Towards a hallway
Frank had finally
Woken up.

I picked up
The other plates.

Rested the one
With the three strawberries
By me.

The other by Mikey.

"Morning, Frankie."

"Morning."

Now I could eat
Because we were all here.

I had noticed that Mikey
Hadn't ate either.

Maybe we possessed
The same motive?

But

Then again,

I didn't pass him the syrup.
