Narcyz put his elbows on the countertop to stop himself from spinning out of range, chuckling slightly. "Huh? Oh, yeah--it changes now and then, but I always get it because it costs less. Today it looks like... a stack of three waffles slathered in honey and whipped cream with strawberries and banana slices. Damn," he laughed, looking back at Cosmos with raised eyebrows. "That'll feed me for like, at least three days," he joked, grinning at the god as he spun the stool around once, stopping again once he'd come around to face Cosmos. "Waffles don't keep all that well, so we're gonna have to try to eat everything. Think you can handle that?"



But there will come a time
You'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart
But dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see
What you find there
With grace in your heart
And flowers in your hair



"Tomorrow will be a good day."

Cosmos nodded along with Narcyz's words, looking a little too serious, given the subject manner. "This sounds full of sugar," he said, putting a hand on his face as he thought. "Is that why it's so special?" Cosmos thought for a moment longer, then let out a breath, smiling at the human boy. Narcyz looked excited, so he would put his skepticism about the healthiness of the waffle platter aside for now.

Until the waffle platter was placed right in front of him. It was like a mountain of caramelized, glistening sugar. Cosmos stared at it dubiously, glancing over at Narcyz. Was this normal breakfast fare? Where was the protein? Why did waffles need a pint of sugar on top? "There's certainly a lot," he said, not sure where to begin. He scooped up a dollop of whipped cream on his fork, staring at it. "Does whipped cream on top give it any more nutritional value?"

Narcyz's face, in contrast, took on a huge grin at the appearance of the food. "You bet it's full of sugar," he laughed, pushing Cosmos' plate a little closer to the god. He met Cosmos' eyes, blinking in bemusement as he cut off a square of gooey waffle. "Nah," he laughed in response to Cosmos' question. "It's just awesome." Narcyz paused, then reached with a finger to dip into his own whipped cream, then reached over and dotted Cosmos' nose with the white fluff. "Boop!" His eyes lit up with delight and a sheepish flush, then chuckled and took a bite of waffle, humming in approval. "It's really good, Cosmos--c'mon, try it. For me?" he added, looking back at Cosmos with a hopeful, puppy-eyed look.

Cosmos blinked, flinching slightly as Narcyz put a dollop of whipped cream on his nose. His eyes crossed as he tried to look at it, and, when coupled with his surprised expression, created a fairly hilarious result. Reaching for a paper napkin, Cosmos tried not to smile as he gave Narcyz a look, his heart melting a bit at the look in Narcyz's eyes. "I believe you," he said with a little sigh, smile winning over on his face. "I just don't believe that this has any nutrients at all. But I will try it for you." Picking up his fork and knife, Cosmos looked at the tower of sugar on his plate, then began to cut into it, whipped cream and honey spilling all over his plate in a hopeless mess. Sticky mouthful speared, Cosmos held it up, then took a cautious bite. He chewed for a moment. It was a little chewy, very sweet... not horrible. Cosmos gave a smile towards Narcyz, just to encourage the happy expression on the human boy's face,  then finished the bite.

Narcyz tried his best not to burst out laughing at Cosmos' facial expression, but failed pretty miserably. He kept it largely contained, though, just so he wouldn't attract the attention of the other people in the restaurant. "The fruit's at least a little healthy, right? And you need those carbs," Narcyz chuckled, grinning all the while as he stabbed a waffle with his fork and lifted it, taking a careful bite and getting a bit of the whipped cream on the corner of his mouth and his cheek. He chewed and looked over at Cosmos, a softening expression on his amused face. "Not your cup of tea, huh?" he said with a sheepish smile, swallowing and shrugging. "If you don't like it much, we can probably save it--and go get you something else," he mused,  picking up a strawberry from his plate and biting into it. "No biggie."

Cosmos chewed slowly, ruminating on the almost rubbery taste of the waffle. It was good, but it was all sugar. He speared a strawberry next and popped it into his mouth. "No, this will suffice for the time being. Afterwards, I would like to go to the ocean, if that's alright. I want to dispose of this cursed amulet as well." Cosmos was quiet for a little while, focusing on finishing his food. If he wanted to keep a proper nutritional diet, he would have to refrain from eating any more sweets. The body he was inhabiting seemed a little on the plump side, so Cosmos would have to watch his caloric intake. Maybe he would go exercise; humans needed that. Glancing over at Narcyz, Cosmos stifled a smile at how the human boy was shoveling the waffle down. "Do you like sweet things?" He asked, curious. Maybe he would make something for a dessert.

Narcyz relaxed slightly at that; the way Cosmos talked, it was like he was analyzing everything, and there was something cute about that. "Oh, right!" he exclaimed, eyes wide. "I'd almost forgotten about that thing. Good thinking bringing it," he chuckled, then trailed off in thought, a little smile turning up his lips as he entertained a thought. "Maybe that's why that dick Simon ran into us. It's all that amulet's fault, you know?" he said with a joking note in his voice, cutting off another piece of waffle and chewing it with a happy sigh. "Yep, you read me like a book. I love 'em... but I kind of just love food in general, honestly," he said with a sheepish glance at Cosmos, shrugging and patting his own stomach. "It doesn't really show, though. I'm pretty scrawny, nowadays."

"I'm surprised you forgot," Cosmos said, pulling the amulet out of his pants pocket. He had nabbed it from the store front on their way out, intent on throwing it in the ocean. It had a curse etched in runs on the blank, obsidian surface. "I can see how it looks like something you could sell. Curses can be deceptive like that." Cosmos smiled, then pocketed it before returning to his half-eaten waffle. It was beginning to grow on him.

Cosmos smiled at that, a rare, sweet smile that bubbled with a suppressed excitement. "That's good to know," he said, turning to his plate. "I think I would enjoy cooking. And you need to eat more and better food. So... 'two birds with one stone,' is the expression, I believe..."

"Mmhm... I had high hopes someone would buy it, but no one ever did. Maybe everyone else knew it was cursed but me? Man, that's a drag," Narcyz chattered on, fork in his mouth making his words a little more muffled. Narcyz glanced at the amulet; nothing looked wrong with it, but hey, he trusted Cosmos' intuition about magic artifacts a lot more than his own. And about most other things, too, except the healthiness of sugar. Narcyz was definitely right on that one.

Narcyz brightened right up at Cosmos' indirect suggestion, perking up and staring at the god. "Aw man!" he exclaimed, grinning and swallowing, bringing a wrist up to wipe his mouth. "You'd do that for me? That'd be great--awesome. I can't cook with a shit, so," he chuckled, then scratched at his hair, a sheepish smile on his face. "Worth a darn--hey, how do you... feel about all that cussing shit--stuff? Stuff. Because like... I dunno. Gods and all; I always figured cursing was like, 'oh no, you're goin' to hell, you crazy kid' fodder."

"Cursed amulets have a nasty habit of sticking around where they're not wanted," Cosmos replied, taking a ruminating bite of his waffle. He glanced up to look at Narcyz's expression as it lit up; light eyes seeming to shine like a jewel even in the flourescent lighting of the diner. Warmth seemed to seep in through his chest, making Cosmos feel as if he was about to burst with it. If it made Narcyz look like that, Cosmos would be happy cooking every meal for the human boy.

The abrupt change in subject caught Cosmos off guard, and he blinked with wide eyes, a dollop of whipped cream dangling precariously off his fork. It fell into his lap, making the god jump, reaching for a napkin to dab at it. "Ah--goodness--ahem..." Cosmos straightened up, something that looked like amusement on his face as he looked at Narcyz. "Languages are very ambiguous, are they not? Words are just symbols to describe the world around you. Yet, humans do not know all of the things that exist in the universe, and thus have no vocabulary for them. The word god to describe a being such as myself is somewhat inaccurate. Cosmos, as defined by the Greeks, is Order. Human scientists label me as a principle, a rule that is invisible yet controls the movements of the universe. There are no words in existence that can quite capture the essence of being, so the simplest umbrella term would be God."

Cosmos laced his fingers together, still smiling at Narcyz with a slightly smug look. "So, to answer your question, as God, I say that you are excused from eternal damnation in the fiery pits of Christian hell. Your vocabulary is perfectly adequate the way it is."

Narcyz's chewing had slowly stopped as Cosmos began to ramble, his eyes going a little wide. If he really stopped and thought about the information Cosmos was rapidly feeding him, he figured he would be a little startled. An understatement--he'd have to reevaluate his views on the god before him. Not a god, but... a principle? A science even? It would have sent him spiraling to think that the person in front of him was the personification of a law of nature, an ideal of events, and an end to chaos...

But instead, Narcyz's sugar-high brain stored it away in the back of his mind for later, and his nose wrinkled in a giggle behind his fork. "Well shit fuckin' damn, then, there goes my childhood of eating soap and feeling sorry for myself. I love it when you talk like that to me," he snorted, a grin tugging at the corners of his mouth as he pulled the fork out and stabbed another piece of sugary waffle. "Big words are a turn on, you know. Major turn on. Didn't I say that before, once?" he mused lackadaisically, popping the food into his mouth as his happy face pushed back the darker, confusing thoughts for a later date.

Cosmos's eyes had widened at Narcyz's reaction, although he wasn't quite surprise. He did, in fact, remember Narcyz saying something like that before, which was partly why he even bothered with the long-winded monologue. He smiled, leaning forward towards Narcyz as if he were a magnet, or gravity. Cosmos felt as if his entire world seemed to revolve around the simple moments where he made the blonde-headed boy grin like that. "Shall I say a few more for you, then?" He asked, his voice as light as the feelings in his chest.

Narcyz felt his already sugar-charged heart pick up in speed as Cosmos leaned closer, a sheepish smile winding over his face as he almost leaned away, just enough to see Cosmos' whole face. Deciding against it, he leaned forward instead, closer, the god's words making him a little warm in the pit of his stomach. Admittedly... he was flustered. He didn't realize he was until he opened his mouth and all that came out was a stuttered, "U-uh..." He recovered himself, after a moment. He wasn't used to Cosmos flirting so openly--it was exciting. Lightly nudging Cosmos' leg with his foot, Narcyz's mouth curved into a smirk. "Don't tempt me in public, Cosmos," he countered under his breath, putting a soft purr in his words. "It isn't fair..." He brought his fork to the remaining whipped cream and brought it to his mouth again, licking it off the prongs of the fork and side-eyeing Cosmos.

Cosmos flushed, his cheeks darkening considerably. He let out a laugh, rubbing his hand against the back of his neck. "My apologies," he murmured, smiling ruefully. When had the diner become so warm? Cosmos distinctly remember the air conditioning being on when he came in, even though it was so chilly outside. And when had Narcyz gotten so close? Cosmos felt as if he could feel the two inches separating them, almost as if he was back in his godly form. He swallowed audibly, then leaned away, glancing at his plate, then back at Narcyz, that smile still on his face. "Was that... too out of line? I'm afraid I'm not as adept with flirting compared to you."

Narcyz's eyes softened at that, and he reached over to lightly touch Cosmos' thigh with his hand, then took it off with a slight chuckle. "Don't apologize, I'm just messing with you a little," he murmured, a sheepish look in his eyes. "Sorry. You're just cute, when you try to fluster me. Honestly, you're not bad at it at all," he added, nudging Cosmos' shoulder slightly with a grin. As an afterthought, his eyes darted to the side for a moment, then he leaned forward to peck Cosmos on the mouth. "Just don't get too good at it, or I'm gonna have to step up my game a little bit," he added, eyes lidding slightly and ignoring the slightly surprised stare from the woman at the register.
