Shepherd's Pie

The process of cooking can be very dry if you're doing it all by yourself, but Kiya decided to be the one to cook for Heathcliff.
His treat, of course. Or at least, he insisted it was. Heathcliff seemed to have a plan on his own, so he went out and left Kiya in the kitchen for the time being.
So he gets to work.
Kiya Sinner #25
Peas, Meat...What kind of meat does he want...
Kiya Sinner #25
Veal. Does he want veal?
Kiya Sinner #25
Or just...beef.
Kiya Sinner #25
...This is hard..
He isn't normally the type to impose, but Heathcliff, in his eyes, deserved something nice. And he can cook exactly that: Something nice.
What did he normally like?
In the middle of cooking, Kiya stops.
Kiya Sinner #25
He mentioned living off scraps for a bit.
Kiya Sinner #25
Ugh, I hope that's changed. I better get this out of the way before he comes back.
Kiya Sinner #25
I better get this out of the way before he comes back.
He's heard Heathcliff talk about his story a few times, and dealt with it himself. Confronting his past, and all that.
But he never really did get to talk to him properly about it, and Kiya didn't want to ask too many questions.
Heathcliff Sinner #7
Hey, hey. I'm back.
Heathcliff Sinner #7
Guess what? I got us both something nice!
Heathcliff returns at the same moment that Kiya begins plating. Peas, Mashed Potatoes, lots of meat and gravy arranged in a single plate.
Heathcliff Sinner #25
....Ah, shite! You made Shepherd's Pie?!
Kiya Sinner #25
You said you were hungry, so I made some for you.
Heathcliff Sinner #25
That's...
Heathcliff Sinner #25
...Awfully nice of ya, but I went out for that exact reason!
Kiya Sinner #25
...Did you...
Heathcliff Sinner #25
Yep. Got us two of the biggest sandwiches from HamHamPangPang. Still warm, even.
HamHamPangPang wasn't a terrible choice. It was good, even, but Kiya still gives him a look of slight shock.
Knowing that Heathcliff had gotten him a sandwich too.
Heathcliff Sinner #25
And seeing that you only made ONE pie, why don't we make a deal?
Heathcliff Sinner #25
I'll eat the pie, and you eat the sandwiches. No ain't an option, just sayin'
Kiya Sinner #25
...Yeah, okay.
Kiya Sinner #25
I guess I'm a bit hungry.
Heathcliff Sinner #25
You guess? I got them for you, dummy.
Heathcliff Sinner #25
Why don't we dig in and we can talk about nothing, huh?
Heathcliff Sinner #25
Call it a little date, even.
Kiya Sinner #25
...Fiiiiiine.
Kiya Sinner #25
It's a date.
Kiya looks away, a little flushed and flattered that someone thought about him at all.
Given that it's Heathcliff, it shouldn't be too surprising.
While the two of them talk, he can't help but bite into his given lunch...and smile to himself because he's loved.
