Hunk sighed and ran his eyes over the dishes and ingredients spread out over the counter. He sighed again, feeling a pain of disappointment. Yeah, this – this wasn't going to be good. It wasn't going to be bad either, per se. but still . . . not good. Not without that Dartha Root.

He rolled his shoulders and took a deep breath "Right then, get in the zone and work your magic. Now where did I put that shredder?" he asked himself, bending down to search through the cabinets "Aha! There you are! Now I just – huh?" he blinked at the large root in front of him in confusion.

Now where did that come from? He wondered, turning to sweep his eyes over the kitchen. And let out a high pitched shriek as he jumped back, tripped over his own feet and hit the floor with a resounding thud "Keith!" he squeaked, staring wide eyed up at the other man "When did you get here? Where did you come from? It's great to see you! Don't scare me like that!"

Keith flashed him a small smile "A few minutes ago, I was in the neighborhood, you too and I wasn't trying to." he replied, answering all his questions in a single breath as he leaned over to offer him a helping hand "Shiro said you've been looking for some Dartha Root for the last month so I decided to drop some off." he said, nodding to the large root on the counter.

Hunk grinned as he let the smaller man help him to his feet "Dude, that's awesome! Thanks!"

Keith flushed and waved a hand dismissively "Don't menti – Eeepp!" he squeaked, breaking off and going wide eyed as Hunk suddenly pulled him into a fierce hug.

"You saved Dinner!"

"Yer Wec-om." Keith wheezed out, sounding as squished as he looked.

Hunk drew back, face splitting into a wide grin as he gripped the shorter man's shoulders "You need to stay for dinner."

It took Keith a moment to register what the other said as he was trying to regain his breath but when he did he shook his head, an apologetic look spreading over his face "Hunk, I can't. I need to get back to the Blade."

"Its just one meal." Hunk countered, turning to begin chopping up the root "I'm always making an extra helping anyway. And besides, we haven't seen you in months. It'd be nice to have a good family dinner."

With his back turned Hunk didn't see the look of shook that spread through those dark violet eyes soften into something fond "Fine." Keith relented, sounding reluctant despite the smile he shot the larger man "I'll stay."
