Who: Ren & Terry When: Friday, 8pmish What: Ren wants to know if Terry can see and speak with his mother. To do this, he has to bribe Terry with cookies. Warnings: Terry is involved, so we all know the language is gonna get foul.
Ren was nervous. Part of his nervousness was the result of being intimidated by Terry. The guy was a bit of a douche, and seemed to be good at zeroing in on people's weaknesses. Ren felt open and raw and vulnerable, and he didn't think any of this was good for his psyche. It was a strong possibility Terry was lying about his abilities, anyway, or that he wouldn't be able to see Megumi. But he had to know. He had to know if she thought he made the right choices, because really, it felt kind of wrong, lately. This school wasn't the place for him. He should have took his chances with the foster care system in Seattle.
Instead of freaking out, he threw himself into his cookie baking. He made the ones his Mom used to call Angel Kisses, the ones that Benjy seemed to love (they were pure sugar, of course Benjy liked them!), chocolate chip cookies, and oatmeal raisin cookies. Yes. All of them. HE had been baking and hoping around the kitchen on one foot since five o'clock. It was eight now, coming up on the time he told Terry to meet him.
Once all the cookies were baked and cooling on racks, he started on the dishes, to keep himself calm, to have something else to do with his hands. This was a mistake. He was tempted to just leave the cookies for Terry and split, but then he heard someone coming in the kitchen. Ren didn't turn around, not wanting to appear too eager, too pushy.
