Freddie was coming to spend the night! Armaan had Plans, and he was starting those off by cooking Freddie a delicious dinner. He knew Freddie was working with the kids at the shelter today, even though it was Saturday. And when he did that, he rarely took time for a break. Freddie usually just grazed on what he could and called it good. Armaan was working on feeding him up, now that he had a good job and was finally making money.

And considering he was making nice money now, Armaan could afford to feed Freddie more than student food when he came over to visit. The first few months had been a parade of frozen microwave burritos and mac and cheese. Armaan was so glad he had graduated and all that was behind him.

Once, on their first date, Armaan had asked Freddie what his favourite food was. Freddie had answered that he loved roasted lamb with mint sauce and veggies, and so that was what Armaan was painstakingly making tonight. He had seasoned it perfectly, and then slow roasted it all day on low heat so that by the time Freddie showed up, the meat would be so tender. He threw some potatoes, carrots and garlic in there to roast as well. He wanted another side so he was busy slicing up some leeks to saute with bacon, when he heard footsteps approach. It couldn't be Freddie, but Armaan had thought both his flatmates were gone. He whirled around and screamed, knife in hand, when he found Avery standing behind him in his underwear, looking like the ghost of flatmates past.
