Chapter Text
It had been a while since things were calm as they are now.
Ze could hear Regect humming in the kitchen as him and Moe were organizing the rest of the house for the “huge” housewarming party they would have. Reject had built (or stolen) this house so that Wakafante would have more space for himself and Captain Dice to “hang out”.
They'd all invited everyone they knew, whether they would come? Now that was questionable.
But that's alright.
They'd all still have fun either way.
*Honk honk honk honk? Honk honk honk honk honk!*
“Do you smell that? Regect is really outdoing himself!”
As much as he hated to admit it, Moe was right.
(like always)
Whatever Regect was baking smelled pretty good!
Peaking in the kitchen, he saw Regect leaned over a big pot on top of the stove, humming to some random 90's song. Ze quietly approached him from behind, taking a peek at what the other was preparing, fascination printed on his face.
Regect stopped humming for a second and glanced at Ze as he tipped the bottle of dry white wine into the pot,
“What do you want?”
All the fascination he felt was quickly covered up with annoyance and a huff.
“Wanted to make sure you aren't intoxicating us with arsenic or something, thats what.”
Reject quickly turned to Ze, he was wearing a beige apron with “Kiss the cook” imprinted on it with black bold letters,
“Oh, yeah! Like if you could even cook, moron!”
“What even is that? Anti-vampire soup or some shit like that?”
“For your information, it's french onion soup!”
Reject turned back towards the oven, regulating the temperature to make sure not to cause a fire (again).
“It's not like your peasant ass has ever tasted something so fancy! Am I right?”
“Excuse me? You-”
Ze would have absolutely thrown hands with the Ǝna wannabe, but he was stopped by Moe, who quickly let out a few angry honks directed to both of them,
*Honk honk honk honk?! Honk honk honk honk honk honk honk honk honk honk honk honk honk?!*
“Can you both stop?! What would our guests think if they saw you both fighting like that?!”
Reject and exchanged sheepish looks, Moe was completely right. What type of host would fight infront of guests?
But Ze couldn't help but think something that Moe would have put shame on,
(It's not like anyones coming!)
Was he wrong? Probably not. But that was still incredibly rude-
A knock on the door proved him wrong.
“See, Ze? Go open the door now!”
What made that damned entity think he could talk to Ze like that? After the party, he was sure to teach that fucker a lesson!
Ze walked left the kitchen and approached the door, Moe was happily honking in the kitchen, while Regect did a happy dance- or whatever in hell that was.
Opening the door, he was greeted with Qred.
The same Qred that had made him go almost insane.
The same Qred that worked to Daemon.
Ze immediately closed the door, giving Qred only the chance of saying a “wait-”
*Hooooonk! Honk honk honk honk honk honk!*
“Zeeeee! Qred isn't here to hurt us! I invited them!”
“What- Moe! Qred worked- or works for Daemon! They were the one that made the clones!”
*Honk honk, honk honk! Honk honk honk honk honk. Honk?*
“I know, I know! But just give them a chance. Please?”
Godamnit. Fuck him and his over-care for his friends.
Opening the door, Ze was greet with Qred with a sheepish expression- or what seemed to be one- on their face. Noticing now, Qred was wearing a suit.. And was carrying flowers?!
“Sorry for closing the door in your face, man.” Ze rubbed his neck sheepishly, “I think I overreacted a bit.”
Qred shook their head, also apologizing,
“No, I should be the one saying sorry! After all, what I did in the hole was.. Not very nice… It is my job though so I didn't have much choice. But either way. I came for the housewarming party! Moe invited me!”
Moe gave a few honks of delight, visibly excited from seeing Qred, a slight blush appearing through her makeup.
Qred coughed and continued,
“May I come in?”
Ze quickly moved to the side, allowing Qred to step in and approach Moe.
They seemed very close, even if Ze disliked Qred, it was nice to see Moe happy!
