Multi-Fandom One-Shots Part 2

Friday Blues - Thiam Teen Wolf

Sometimes Liam wonders if there is something wrong with him. There is only one thing on his mind as soon as he gets home from work on Friday, today he even thought about it in the car.

Oh yes, Friday really is his favourite day.

His fingers are typing the number without him having to think about it by now.
This is how addictions start. But he doesn't really care.

I deserve a treat after this week, Liam thinks to himself, everything else can wait until tomorrow.

The food is just so good at this place!
And with the click on the other end of the line, indicating that someone picked up the phone, the sad looking bell peppers in his fridge are forgotten.

"Hello, restaurant 'White Lilies', my name is Josh, what can I do for you?"
"Josh, hi, it's Liam", he starts his usual order only to be interrupted by a laugh, "Liam. Of course. Your order is ready and sent to your door as we speak."

Liam laughs, "maybe I should only call when I don't want any food by now, huh?" he scratches the back of his neck as Josh chuckles, "oh no, please you are actually a friendly customer so I don't mind the calls."

Liam makes a mental note to include an extra big tip for Josh when the delivery arrives, those phone operators have no easy job after all.
They finish up the call and then Liam waits.

When Theo steps into his kitchen he looks around the room, pure gesture of habit by now.
He knows that his people are doing a good job, without him breathing over their shoulders, but Theo prides himself in having a good relationship with his employees and he wants to make sure it stays that way.

Josh is chuckling as he hangs up on what must be the latest take out order, he shouts, "the usual for our Bacon Pasta guy" at the delivery boy by the door who simply nods, picks up the last box from the table and then vanishes out of the back door as if the call had been a 'go' sign.

"What was that about?", Theo asks, stepping closer to Josh.

His best friend grins, "just a little insider", but he elaborates because he knows that this won't satisfy Theo's curiosity, "There is this guy, he always calls on Fridays, at the same time and orders the same meal - Chestnut Mushroom Bacon Pasta. At first he tried different dishes but not anymore, he must really like that one. It has been going on for over a year and everybody knows Liam by now. Actually, I am kind of expecting his call and have his order prepared up front so it gets out with the first delivery tour."

The last part Josh admits with an almost shy smile on his face but Theo only grins, "well, regulars are great to have! And I was actually wondering if we should take this pasta of the menu because no one ever orders it in this place, even though it's my favourite dish to make. Guess it stays after all."

He shrugs and wanders off, leaving Josh to take the next call but his mind stays with Liam, the bacon pasta guy.

When the next Friday rolls around, Theo still thinks about Liam. And because he has never been one to dwell on his thoughts - otherwise he wouldn't have been able to open this restaurant - he excuses himself from his guests and makes his way over to the back a little earlier.

"Has Liam called yet?", he asks the operator in charge, a dark skinned, short haired guy named Lucas.
"No, but he is due any minu-", Lucas starts up, only to be interrupted by the phone ringing.

Theo picks it up.

"Restaurant 'White Lilies', my name is Theo, what can I do for you?"
