"Care to tell me the reason why every single dish on this table has an ungodly amount of chili peppers?"
Maetee looked at the abomination of a feast on their dining table, marveling at how most of the bowls were filled with the orange bordering on crimson red plus the amount of oil, and the visible green and red chilis that were actually threatening his throat's health. T-Rex stood beside him, also mortified, and hesitant in taking a seat, whilst Teedo and Teedet have yet to enter the dining room, Maitee is just about done setting up all the utensils. It was visible from Maitee's face that he was both agitated and looking somewhat vengeful as he stared at his work.
Watee was already sitting in one of the chairs, glaring daggers at each plate, and then he sent another glare at the one who made it all. T-Rex looked back and forth and pieced things together; it looks like the couple is in a quarrel. How interesting.
"Well?"
Maitee ignored his question and silently went back to the kitchen and clean the counters, riding all the pots and pans he has used to cook the heated dishes. Maetee tried to plead for help from the person beside him, giving him a look that screamed "help me" but T-Rex just shrugged, and called for everyone else to have lunch together.
"Holy fuck?" Teedet spoke once he laid eyes on the table, Teedo was just staring at it, a little frightened of their lunch. T-Rex shushed him, Maetee just gulped a large amount of air, trying to calm his racing heartbeat as all of them sat down. The last person to enter the room and sit was maitee who had just finished taking off his apron and sat quietly, his gaze focused on Watee.
"Um, Maitee, can you tell us what are these dishes?" T-Rex asked, pointing at the set of bowls.
"Tom Yum Kung, Gaeng Som, Pad Prik, and Gaeng Tai Pla."
"Oh my god."
Watee pursed his lips, hearing the silent cries of the other Tee's, sending another deathly scowl at the chef, who was looking smugly at him. Maetee groaned, placing his head in his hands, "Maitee, what possessed you to prepare this demonic meal?"
"Ask our landlord over here." Maitee tipped his head in front of him, and Watee wanted to smother him with a pillow right at this moment. Everyone's heads turned to him, making him feel small and cornered but he regained his resolve, "He's pissed off."
"And what might the reason be?" Maitee raised a brow at him, challenging his answer.
"I don't know, he's just acting like a child," the angry landlord replied. Both of them were now starting to go back to square one, back to where they both started arguing. The others were witnessing a marvelous show of knives at each other's throats.
Maitee smirked, his glare hardening, "Funny how your sentences contain both of the things we argued about; your forgetfulness and our childhood."
"Oh piss off, Maitee."
"Like how you dismissed my repeated attempts of telling you that you promised to take me to playdates every week when we were kids?"
Teedo just wanted to put back his earphones as he felt his friends' voices start to turn a decibel higher, T-Rex was quietly spectating the show and willing himself to stop it if he feels like the food will get too cooled. Teedet just rolled his eyes, feeling that the banter was too personal for his liking. Maetee wanted to cry, he was both hungry for the food and terrified of uttering a single word as he might be the target for the anger budding between the two.
"That's the thing! I told you we were kids back then, which meant we can't have "playdates" anymore!" Watee exasperatedly threw up his hands, scratching the back of his head as he angrily sneered at his childhood best friend. Truth be told, he was internally embarrassed that his kid-self made that promise and the fact that Maitee remembered every detail.
