Skyfall

Chapter Five

Steve lumbers downstairs, Nero, Erik, and Kasdeya looking at the doorway as he comes into view. He blinks as three pair of eyes stare at him.

"Good Morning?"

"Good Morning," Erik says as he pulls on the toy that Nero is playing with. "Breakfast is in the kitchen."

Steve nods as he walks to the kitchen.

"Go ask," Erik whispers.

"No."

"Kasdeya..."

"I don't wanna," she whines and Erik gives her the side-eye as she sighs, standing and walking to the kitchen. She touches Steve's shoulder making him jump, his coffee spilling onto his chest. He hisses in pain at the hot liquid and Kasdeya quickly grabs a rag,  pressing it to his chest as she wipes the liquid away. Steve blushes as she cleans him off.

"Sorry about that," she says as she washes the rag out, making Steve a new cup of coffee. Kasdeya places it before him.

"It's fine. It was my fault. I Should've heard you."

"Actually: you shouldn't have."

Steve stares at her as she looks out the window before sighing.

"Do you want to go get lunch together?"

"Lunch?"

Her eyes narrow.

"Did I stutter?"

"Kasdeya! Be nice!" Erik calls from the couch making the couple look at him. Kasdeya huffs, crossing her arms. Erik rolls his eyes. "Steve she's asking you to lunch so you two can get to know each other before truly starting this mission."

"Oh. Why?"

"I told you it was a bad idea," Kasdeya says, crossing her arms.

Erik rolls his eyes as he walks into the kitchen.

"The idea is for you two to get to know each other so when you're on the mission you two act like a married couple."

"Oh. That makes sense. I would like to go to lunch with you Kasdeya."

"Can't we just do lunch here?"

"Kasdeya you are no fun you know that?"

"Shut up Erik."

He chuckles.

"I mean you could. I could make you two lunch. Jerk Chicken?"

"You can't jerk chicken to save your life."

"Curry goat? The goat is already marinating."

"I guess..."

"Woman I swear if you're going to be difficult I will personally throw you off a cliff."

Kasdeya waves Erik off who rolls his eyes.

"So difficult. You sure you want to marry her? Could find a sweet woman who doesn't want to cause problems. Maybe even wait on you."

Kasdeya snorts.

"What is this? The 40s?"

Erik chuckles as he begins to get the ingredients out.

"Do you need help?" Steve asks.

"Nope. Go relax and start talking to your wife Mr. Black."

"If you send him up to my bath I will put you out."

"Or not. Here, cut up the onions for me."

Steve nods as he begins to cut the onions as Kasdeya goes upstairs. She just entered the bathroom when she hears her phone ring. She answers it, beginning to remove her clothes as she talks.
