[ the three slutketeers ]
makes a catch-all will we use this more than once god i hope so
[Jae-ha likes having his dinners made by Sanji.
It's become something of a small tradition and even if the paranoia tingles at the back of his head, he doesn't plan on letting it get in the way. Rather, he's so used to suppressing that urge that he almost doesn't even think about it. Being away from his partner isn't that hard.
But it's interesting to see the way that it affects Sanji.
Still - Jae-ha's curious, endlessly curious, and even more playful and shitty than that. So he makes up a white lie - 'oh I can't find anymore candles,' he says, just putting a candle on a chair rather than on the table - and then he wanders out to go find Zelos.
There's no more explanation than 'Hey gorgeous, I found your partner. Let's get a bite to eat? ♥'
Which is how we're setting up this PC.
Jae-ha leading Zelos into the kitchen and:]
Chef, we can feed more than just us two, right?

[Sanji puts up a strong front; he's also used to hiding back longing, so the paranoia is endlessly annoying, but doable. Especially when he's so focused on his meal prep and the food presentation that everything else turns to white noise.
But it still worms its way out of him on occasion. A fidget here. A snappy reply there. Like a piece of cloth suddenly wrinkled, only to smooth back out as if nothing happened.
He's a little glad when Jae-Ha runs off and gives Sanji a moment to collect himself.
So of course by the time he returns -- with a guest? -- Sanji's busied himself by the stove, wanting to keep an eye on dessert so nothing burns. His voice is distant, preoccupied:]
Yeah, there's plenty of food.
[Glancing over his shoulder]
Who'd you brin--

[ On any other occasion, something like this would make him smile, laugh— perhaps even kiss Jae-ha right on the mouth out of glee and spite. But between the anxious prickling in the pit of his stomach (thanks castle, thanks Sanji), the snow, and all that the week has already promised him, he's just a little surly as he follows Jae-ha into the kitchen.
The sight of the curly browed bastard quells his anxiety for the moment, at least; through his surly demeanor remains (out of spite? because he's really actually in a bad mood? who knows!) ]
Shut up.
[ Is all he says in response to Sanji.
He sits himself down in a chair with a loud huff. The legs of his chair screech angrily against the tile as he does, perhaps taking after the mood of the person sitting on them. ]
Hurry up and feed me.

[what the fuck kiss him
just kidding, Jae-ha is just going to blink at that, watching. This really is just answering his own curiosity, because he's kind of a jerk and wanted to see what would happen. He'll go to retrieve another plate and utensils to set Zelos's place at the table, reclaiming that candle because he lied and just lighting it to set on the table.
Sanji never says anything about it. :/ ]
... and I thought my roommate was moody.

[... Hm.
So that did not keep on script. Sanji's expression slowly, slowly loosens the longer he stands there assessing Zelos, shoulders unknowingly relaxing now that he's not hiding a wall of panic. Will wonders never cease, here is Red in an actual bad mood.
He is probably to blame.
He only feels slightly guilty about that.]
What crawled up your ass and died, Red?
[Concern? Fuck no, perish the thought, it's curiosity and some (tentative?) needling as he begins setting out the meal: filleted steak in a herb butter sauce, baked scallops wrapped in bacon and served on a bed of asparagus, along with a sautéed dish of shrimp, rice, and spices.
... and some bread rolls because why the hell not. Apparently it's surf and turf night in Grimm.]
Here, eat up.

Wish I could say the it was you, Brows. That'd kill two birds with one stone— but unfortunately, with the castle-wide manhunt you've sent me on it seems whatevers lodged itself up there is anything but you.
[ Let that be a lesson to you Sanji— don't ever ask questions involving Zelos' ass ever again.
He is however, taken aback when Sanji sets food down in front of him. It all looks really good. Maybe even better than whatever the chefs back in his rich boy manor(tm) would make. ]
Oh, so this is why everyone seems to inexplicably like you.

[Jae-ha bites back a 'you think that's why....?'
Mostly because he's here to enjoy himself, and to figure out some of Sanji and Zelos's dynamic, not out to make it worse when Zelos is clearly not in a stellar mood. But he does hum appreciatively at the food and offer a happy - ]
Thank you, Chef. ♪
[he's pleased!!!!
but also:]
How about some wine then? To lift the mood some, if something is plaguing our friend Zelos over here.

Your friend.
[Sanji, meanwhile, has no qualms speaking his mind. Also? Gross, Zelos. There's a vaguely disgusted noise while turning to fetch them drinks.
He's not using his best wine for this, you best believe.]
And forget I fuckin asked, then. [Gonna pour them all glasses, really damn tempted to offer Zelos less, except that interferes with a chef's sensibilities and nah, he's not that petty. Zelos is a customer for now, he'll get the standard treatment.]
We got two choices, white or red. Which one do you bastards want?

[ Zelos grumbles something unintelligible at the friend comment, but is far too petulant and bashful in this moment to say anything else. ]
White—
[ He taps the rim of his long-stemmed glass. ]
And fill her up real good, thanks—
[ He says, very nearly reading Sanji's mind. ]
I'm going to need as much of that stuff as possible to get through this.
[ He turns to Jae-ha ]
You really do this every night?
[ Spending this much time with Sanji when you don't have to? Absurd. ]

[... Ooor they'll just catch this:]
Tch! I liked that glass...
[Gonna disappear behind the counter, sorry assholes, muttering as he goes. There's the slide of glass on the floor, another curse--]
Well, at least it wasn't full.
[... And tacked on the end:]
That's why you invited him?!

[ Zelos, for his part, looks a bit taken aback. He won't say anything about the glass or ask if Sanji's okay.
Once Sanji is behind the privacy of the counter however, he will pause to give Jae-ha a look and mutter, only so Jae-ha can hear: ]
What's up with him?
[ And then in a louder voice so Sanji can hear: ]
Can't figure it out honestly. I mean, I've been nothing if not accommodating as a partner and roommate.
[ He turns to Jae-ha ]
You'd love to have me as a partner, wouldn't you handsome?

[ . . . Zelos's inquiry is met with a shrug - he's not sure what's up with Sanji, but he is going to quietly stand to go find out.
But he still doesn't miss a beat - ]
It'd only fulfill my wildest dreams, gorgeous.
[they should stop
but also jae-ha's going to wander over the sanji and investigate]
Trouble in paradise, chef? Why don't you let me perform this part of the service for once?

Stop being nosy and go sit back down.
[So that's a negatory. Sanji doesn't seem to be doing anything down here besides shuffling the glass with his feet. His hands, meanwhile, are shoved inside his pants pockets the moment Jae-Ha shows up.]
Actually, do me one better and you two bastards stop flirting where I can hear it. I'm about to be sick.
[Sanji is going to renounce this possible friendship if he finds out they slept together. He needs friends with standards.
... Anyway he stands, shoulders squared, glancing at the wine glasses...
Taking his hands out (and hey, they're fine!) while reaching over to the wine bottle. He's looking at Jae-Ha the entire time.]
Oi, go sit. You two start eating without me, it's fine.

If you want to be included, all you have to do is ask nicely!
[ Zelos calls over the din of Sanji's general kitchen shuffling. Hm, there sure is a lot of deja vu packed into that one statement.
Anyway, Zelos has little courtesy in general but especially not for Sanji, so he doesn't protest and starts eating. ]
Huh, this is actually pretty good. Guess you are good for something that isn't just yelling and being a pain in the ass. I'm shocked, really.
[ Not really, everyone's been talking about his cooking for weeks at this point. ]
Anyway, stop breaking stuff and come sit down. All that noise is annoying.

[Jae-ha watches, quietly but closely.
But he's going to ignore Sanji's request and instead take the wine glasses now that Sanji's gotten ahold of the bottle, bringing them over to the table with a hum.]
Nope! Let's eat all together - I can't very well satisfy my curiosity with only one half of the question, can I? We'll take care of the glass later.
[THEY SHOULD EAT WHILE IT'S HOT
but then he's joining zelos at the table]
Oh? It suits your tastes? Do any of your adoring fans ever cook for you?

[One would expect Sanji to take Jae-Ha's head for disobeying a direct order, but at most he scowls, shoots the green dragon a look and keeps his mouth shut.
He'll also make his way back to the table. Slowly, and rather mute as he slips into his chair.
... Though bless Zelos for running his mouth; nothing like an asshole to get Sanji talking. He scoffs, hands in his pockets, like he plans to make his plate later]
Tch! Wish I could say the same for you. You keep finding new ways to prove how useless you are.

[ Pointedly ignoring Sanji, instead he takes the bottle of wine on the table and reaches for a spare glass from an unoccupied table setting. ]
Oh yeah, my hunnies cook stuff for me all the time. Valentines Day is the worst— homemade chocolate piled to the ceiling. I of course, never eat any of it though. Shouldn't eat food you don't trust, stranger danger and all.
[ All through this he's pouring wine into the glass he's acquired. And then he sets it down in front of Sanji, who already has his own glass? ]
Here— you drink two, because you're reaaally bringing down the vibe in here. So I'm gonna have to get you to loosen up, one way or another.

[Eyebrow twitching some, and not even because of the alcohol -- just that Zelos mentioned food he left to rot and it takes effort not to start a fight over that. Haha, silly pirate sensibilities.
Thankfully, he's also quickly distracted... by those two glasses filled with wine... thanks partner? Ugh. Sanji sighs so hard his eyes close tight, like he's warding off a headache. It's with that expression in place that he'll reach over, unpocket his left hand, and swipe the first glass up.
Knocks it back.
Briefly opens his eyes to find that other glass and same thing. Wine glass is grabbed, drinking the entire thing down.
After which he'll put the second glass down and sit back, pocketing his hand again to keep it warm. His visible eye slits open]
Happy?

Content for the moment.
[ Because ugh, how's he supposed to be HAPPY around Sanji of all people!! ]
Hey, brows— what's your alcohol tolerance like?
[ He looks to Jae-ha ]
Actually you too. It's kind of weird to imagine what you'd be like drunk since you're already so, y'know.
[ Zelos makes a vague gesture that means absolutely nothing and everything at all. ]
