Neptune smiled back and they dug in, using the food as an excuse to stop talking. He poked his brothers with his tail and the twins emerged from underneath the table just as the waiter set down their meals.

Neptune smelled their food before he saw the waiter coming over, and he licked his lips. Traditional parasols protected each table from the light, and indigenous Vacuan fauna spilled over the pots and trellises that separated table from table. Glowing crystals hung from wires overhead, mimicking the fierce Vacuan sun without any of that scorching heat. They hadn’t actually tried any of the food yet, as they had ordered just a couple of minutes ago, but if the café’s cooking was anything like its décor, then Neptune had high hopes. The café they were in was on the roof of a Vacuan supermarket, and advertised itself as ‘the most authentic Vacuan food in Vale!’. Jin and Huang Wukong were also doing that fake smiling thing, although all four of them were trying their best to get along, for their children’s sakes. Mr and Mrs Vasilias were doing that thing adults do when they smile even though you know they’re screaming internally, and although Rhea’s smile was somewhat genuine, Neptune could tell from the tension in his father’s body language that Saturn was even more terrified of Sun’s parents than he had been of the White Fang, and that was saying something. Then, the aeroplane noises would start again with renewed vigour (and irritation). Occasionally, the noises would pause and one of the twins would hit Sun’s legs, to which Sun would kick them back. Sun’s brothers were making aeroplane noises under the table, but no one payed them much attention.

Neptune’s parents sat across from Sun’s parents, while Sun, Neptune and Yaya sat in the middle of them. “Did you find this place alright?” asked Rhea. He was fairly confident Sun was dying inside, too, but then Sun was much more comfortable with awkwardness than he was, so he couldn’t be sure. Neptune was pretty sure he was dying inside. ← Previous Work Part 2 of the Shades and Colours series Stats: Published: Completed: Words: 48862 Chapters: 28/28 Comments: 197 Kudos: 241 Bookmarks: 12 Hits: 4096
