Neal was on lunch, and currently indulging in one of his favorite guilty pleasures - a good deli meal. He'd gone down to Katz's, on Houston Street, and was digging into a good pastrami sandwich and chicken soup. This was almost as good as Marea.

He'd been enjoying himself, but as he started to eat his sandwich, the place started to get busy. Neal made sure his wallet wasn't within grasp of any wise-guy, but as he was shifting his tray, someone's hip bumped it and his soup went everywhere. "Damnit!"

	Michael saw the guy in the fancy suit about to get pelted with soda. Sighing, he realized he felt for the guy. It was why he stopped time, scooting Fancypants aside so he didn't get anything spilled on him. Then he went to grab him another bowl of soup, as well as cleaning up what had been spilled. He knew he'd get no end of crap from Kabie, but it was his good deed for the day. (Reply to this)

Neal blinked as he was pushed aside, looking up at his savior. A big guy had managed to get between him and the soup, and hey, this was a good suit. "Hey, appreciate it." Kabie had seen Michael's quick move, and she did smile, but it was rather fond. She approached the guy - who was hot, by the way. "Hey. You okay? My husband's fast on his feet for a big guy." Neal couldn't help but grin when the pretty woman approached him, even though she said Husband. He could just be nice. "I'm fine. Thanks. It was a good catch." (Reply to this)

	"No problem, fancy." Michael's voice suited his body, a gravely basso profondo that still sounded somewhat playful. His arm wrapped around Kabie, kissing the top of her head. "Who're you calling a big guy, you midget?" (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2011-12-16 06:12 am UTC (link)
	"You, you behemoth." Kabie shoved at him, amused. "My name's Kokabiel," she said to the handsome mortal. "What's yours?" Neal got the impression she was casually flirting with him, and had to be careful when he answered. The guy really was awfully big. "I'm Neal. It's nice to meet you." (Reply to this)

	quisutdeus 2011-12-16 06:17 am UTC (link)
	Michael sighed indulgently, rolling his eyes. "Should I leave you two alone?" He threw his hands up and walked back toward the counter. "The things I endure because of this woman, oy." He was half teasing. (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2011-12-16 06:22 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, shush." Kabie rolled her eyes just as indulgently, amused. "You bring kvetching to an art form, seriously. I'm just being nice!" Neal liked them both. "I have a girlfriend, but I will buy you guys lunch for saving my suit. This was hand made." He took his hat off, smiling. (Reply to this)

	quisutdeus 2011-12-16 06:29 am UTC (link)
	Mikey got them all pastry from the counter and returned to the table. "I know that this sounds crazy, but I just ate. Really, you're lucky you caught me at an off moment. We an-" He grunted when he caught a sharp elbow to the stomach from Kabie. (Reply to this)

Kokabiel rolled her eyes. "We'd be happy to. Mikey's a bottomless pit." She lowered her voice when she spoke to her husband, and Neal did his best to not hear. "Stop being an idiot," the woman told her husband quietly, squeezing his hand. Neal decided to tactfully withdraw, getting them each bowls of matzoh ball soup. He figured he could take a few minutes. The guy seemed nice, but frankly, Neal would have been insecure about having such a good looking young woman if he was the guy, too. (Reply to this)

	quisutdeus 2011-12-16 04:33 pm UTC (link)
	Michael just grit his teeth. "I'm sorry, but goddamn." He pushed her pastry over, then put one down for the fancy guy. "Should we even tell him the truth?" (Reply to this)

	starofgod 2011-12-16 04:46 pm UTC (link)
	"It might be fun to break him?" Kabie chuckled. "He's Catholic; he's wearing a cross tie pin." She rested a hand on his. "Stop being insecure. You look and so do I. It's just looking." (Reply to this)

	quisutdeus 2011-12-17 04:08 am UTC (link)
	"I know, and I dunno, he seems like he might have kind of a glass jaw." Mike smiled and squeezed her hand for a moment before lifting it to his lips. It was around that time the bell at the door sounded, indicating that someone else had come into the deli. It was a petite, pale woman with dark green eyes. It was Michael's turn to stare. (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2011-12-17 04:21 am UTC (link)
	Neal raised an eyebrow, amused. "What're you doing here?" He hadn't told her he'd be going here, not that he was sad to see her. Kabie grinned, nudging Michael. The mortal had lit up when that woman had come in. (Reply to this)

	folleconnasse 2011-12-17 04:23 am UTC (link)
	BB wrapped her arms around his neck and gave Neal a kiss. "You were sniffling this morning, so I figured you'd duck in here for some soup." Her smile was happy as well, and she felt warm just being around him. Michael chuckled, nudging back. (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2011-12-17 04:35 am UTC (link)
	"Clever." Neal chuckled, sitting her on his lap, because he could. "This is BB. She's my girlfriend." He was finally okay with just letting it roll off his tongue. Kabie smiled, waving. "I'm Kokabiel, and this is Michael." (Reply to this)

	folleconnasse 2011-12-17 04:38 am UTC (link)
	"I think they garnered that from the fact I'm too young to be your child and I'm sitting on your lap." She grinned and nibbled his ear before blinking. "Oh! I've heard Lee talk about you guys - she's my half-cousin. Gabey's wife?" (Reply to this)

	starofgod 2011-12-17 04:43 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah." Kabie smiled. "Lilo's sweet. Has Neal here met Gabey or Lee?" Maybe if he had, he wouldn't blow up when he found out they were angels. (Reply to this)

	folleconnasse 2011-12-17 04:44 am UTC (link)
	BB nodded. "Yup. I thought he was going to faint when Hortensia flirted with him." SHe couldn't help laughing, and Michael joined in. "That pig likes everyone." (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2011-12-17 05:17 am UTC (link)
	"It's a pig!" Neal laughed. "You don't expect a pig to talk, let alone flirt." "True, I guess, but she's sweet." Kabie smiled. "Lilo has a heart of gold, and so does Hortensia. That whole little family's pure as snow." (Reply to this)

	folleconnasse 2011-12-17 05:19 am UTC (link)
	Mikey laughed. "She's clearly blind, since she flirted with me too. You, Fancy, I get." He tipped an invisible hat to the other man. BB smiled, shrugging at Kabie. "Lee tells me that you guys have a dog. I'm sure you all are just as adorable." (Reply to this)

	starofgod 2011-12-17 05:42 am UTC (link)
	Kokabiel grinned. "Samson is Mikey's baby. I'm surprised he even lets me come near." Her tone was fond, though. "He's a tiny little thing that wears doggy sweaters." (Reply to this)

	folleconnasse 2011-12-17 05:44 am UTC (link)
	"He gets. Cold." Michael sighed and shook his head, rolling his eyes. "He followed me home, he barely has enough fur to keep himself warm." BB cooed. "Awww, dogs are sweet. I've wanted a pet to keep me company for when this one comes home late." She motioned at Neal. (Reply to this)

	classicratpack 2011-12-18 03:36 am UTC (link)
	"Oh?" That was the first Neal had heard of it. "I don't know, Beebs. We have expensive stuff in the house." The thought of a puppy gumming that volume of da Vinci made him sufficiently light-headed that he bent to eat a little more soup, just in case. (Reply to this)

	folleconnasse 2011-12-18 03:49 am UTC (link)
	She laughed a little to herself, ruffling Neal's hair. "I always figured we'd just put all of the super valuable stuff upstairs." Smiling to herself she moved off of his lap and started to eat her soup. Michael did as well, wrinkling his nose a bit. "This just doesn't taste good after having Miss Mary's does it?" (Reply to this)

	starofgod 2011-12-18 03:59 am UTC (link)
	"It's good, but not nearly as good as Mary's, it's true." Kabie took a bite. "This is good for mortals." "Mary?" Neal echoed. (Reply to this)

"Lilo mentioned her once," BB smiled. MIchael closed his eyes. When he opened them again, they were all in a kitchen that was welcoming and warm. There was a woman in jeans and a t-shirt at one of the counters stirring something in a bowl. When four people randomly appeared in her kitchen, she shrieked and the bowl fell from her hands into the sink. "Michael! What have I told you about appearing in the kitchen? Can't you go into the hall for once?" (Reply to this)
