H[o]ld my heart(it's beating for you anyway)

"Sandwiches?" he thought to himself. "Those sound delicious!" Nodding in reply to his question, he smiled partially as his stomach also growled, though more quietly than Alec's. Seamus had plenty of money to pay for their meals, so he guided them inside, walking up the the counter. Thankfully it was a location where the customer could pretty much point to what they wanted, making it much easier to order. "Get what you want Alec, it's on me."

[Alec M'Crae]

Alec glanced up at Seamus with a faint smile and looked at the menu as the lady working behind the counter greeted them both. Seconds later Alec found something that looked appetizing and a fair price, even though he didn't take mind to that. He pointed to the picture of the #2 sandwich. The lady followed his finger and nodded her head, starting to make the sandwich for him. "And you sir?" She asked Seamus and she finished of Alec's sandwich.

[freedom]

He watched as the person crafted the sandwich expertly, and dang did it look good. But Seamus didn't really know what he wanted when it came to himself. So, he decided to give a little challenge to her. "Surprise me with something with plenty of meat on Italian. You of all people would know what tastes good on a sandwich," Seamus said with a smile.

[Alec M'Crae]

The lady finished up Alec's sandwich and wrapped it up in the paper, than fixing up a sandwich that they don't serve often that fit the requirements of Seamus's intended sandwich. Alec stared at his sandwich in the paper, toasted and everything. It made his mouth water. It's been a while since he's had something like this, for the metal institute didn't serve the food from here. The lady finished off his sandwich and wrapped it up, placing it next to Alec's sandwich. "Will that be a meal? Comes with a drink and a bag of chips for each of you." She asked. Alec's eyes brightened up. That sounded nice!

[freedom]

Seamus laughed and rubbed Alec's back, smiling brightly at the server. "Make them both a meal! It sounds delicious, and for your kindness and excellence in preparing our sandwiches..." Seamus reached into his pocket and pulled out three twenties. The whole set wouldn't have cost more than fifteen, but she deserved the extra tip. "Buy yourself something nice, you deserve it." As she put away the cash and put the cups on the counter, Seamus handed Alec his cup and he took the food to the table.

[Alec M'Crae]

Alec wasn't sure what Seamus was saying but it sure made the lady happy. She took the money with a shy smile, thanking him and telling the two to have a nice day. She noticed Alec didn't talk and had a little childish auto to him. She assumed he had a mental disorder and Seamus was his older brother. Alec took the cup and the sandwich and just planned on following whatever Seamus did.

[freedom]

Seamus smiled and nodded to the cashier before taking his cup and filling it with some cherry pepsi before returning the table. "Choose whatever you want Alec, they all are pretty good." By the time Alec would return with his drink, Seamus would be all set up, sandwich unwrapped and prepared to take the first bite.

[Alec M'Crae]

Alec stared at all the drink choices, biting his thumb as he was wondering what each drink tasted like. The lady couldn't help but notice he was have a little trouble and decided to help him out a little. She walked over and took his cup and first pressed the button for ice and let a couple cubes fall into the cup. Alec just watched. "What kind of drink do you want?" She asked, gesturing her hand to show all of the varieties. Alec knew what she was asking by the gesture and pointed the same thing Seamus had. It looked tasty. The lady nodded her had and filled the cup up to the rim, than out on a lid and stuck a straw in the hole. "Here you go! If you want more go for it." Alec smiled and took the cup and the lady patted his shoulder and walked back behind the counter. Alec trotted over to where Seamus was sitting and sat in his own seat, trying the cherry coke. His eyes widened and he blinked a couple times. The fizz in his throat didn't feel good but he liked the flavour. He sipped a little too much at a time and his eyes shut tight but he liked it! He's never had pop before, and he liked it.

What kind souls inhabited the city nowadays. The waitress had helped the boy without reason other than pure will, and she did so excellently. Mouthing the words, "Thank you," to her, he welcomed Alec back down to try his new drink. For someone who hasn't had soda before, it would be a weird experience. But to much avail, Alec enjoyed it. I have to agree with you Alec, I don't care for the fizz much myself either. But it does taste go, no? He smiled at Alec, before taking a bite of the warm and delicious sandwich in front of him.

[Alec M'Crae]

No matter how much his throat stung his throat he sipped a little more before putting it down the drink and nodding his head with a faint smile in agreement to Seamus's statement. The lady watched him eat his sandwich, and smiled as Alec seemed to really like it. This is the best sandwich ever! Alec thought, truly meaning it, taking another bite. The boy found himself having the best meal of his life so far. If only he got to eat this everyday, the metal institute wasn't famous for their food choices.

[freedom]

Seamus smiled, enjoying his sandwich as well. Indeed, they were fantastic, and he resolved something to Alec. I'll bring you food like this every day, so you don't have to eat anything that tastes bad ever again. He probably couldn't promise that, but he would sure try.

[Alec M'Crae]

Really? Alec exclaimed in his head, the boy's eyes lighting up like a Christmas tree. He imagined eating fresh food and drinking cherry coke every single day, seemed like heaven to him and he hoped he'd never get tired of it.

[freedom]

Of course! I'll change things up every so often so you aren't eating the same thing every night, but I can only assume that the food isn't that good from how you feel about it, Seamus thought to him with a chuckle. Oh how hospitals and care centers focused more on cost than quality. Cuts had to be made somewhere, and to his home they choose the food.

[Alec M'Crae]

That's fine. Alex agreed with a nod of his head. But I want the cherry coke, everyday please he giggled a little outloud, finishing of the last bite of the best sandwich ever made.
The lady behind the counter found it odd but astounding how no words were spoken but they looked as if they were communicating just fine. Maybe its a 'brother' thing? She decided to mind her own buisness and started cleaning the counter from crums and other ingedients left behind.

[freedom]

Seamus nodded and smiled, taking Alec's cup and quickly refilling it before sitting back down. Would hate for you to run out. But make sure you brush your teeth, or this stuff will rot your teeth out.

A small sigh came from his lips as he finished his sandwich, leaning back in the chair in which he sat. Thoughts had troubled him, or rather, drove him almost as insane as Alec to an extent. He had been able to talk to Seven, though a mass murderer isn't exactly the person you can talk about your crush with. Still, it wasn't like Seamus had many other people to talk to nowadays. Alec? What do you know about relationships? Was he crazy for asking a schizophrenic for relationship advice? Perhaps...
