Part of the gang - realy, the two, stable monogamous couples - decided to have breakfast at the same waffle house they went to after the bullshit back at Echo. It was a nice, comforting environment, especially after pararazzi freaks fucked off to somewhere else.
"What's it gonna be?" said the alligator waitress.
"Hashbrowns" Sydney said.
"Gonna be within his hive mind and also order hashbrowns" Carl said.
"These bitches have eyes bigger than their stomachs so I'll just eat their scraps" Flynn said, not particularly hungry.
"Oh, I'm just going to have sausage and eggs" TJ said.
"Two hashbrowns servings and one serving of sausage and egg. Be right back" the waitress said.
When she left, everyone looked at TJ.
"No hashbrowns?" Carl said.
"Hm, Was I supposed to order those?" TJ said, ears bent.
"No, it's just strange when someone orders anything different from the norm" Carl said.
"Well, I'm a carnivore and a cat. I can't deal with carbs, at least not loads of them. and hashbrowns are basically potatoes."
"You did not just insult my hashbrowns!" Carl said in mock outrage.
"Relax bitch, I know my beloved Toby has special needs" Sydney said, kissing TJ in the lips, "Very special needs indeed."
"Syd!" TJ said, kicking his boyfriend in the leg.
Flynn roled his eyes.
"Syd, you're a carnivore too. You should lay off the hashbrowns as well."
"And eat your shit pond salmon? No thank you!"
Flynn rolled his eyes, and TJ placed his paw on Sydney's.
"I respect your cravings, but I must remind it's unhealthy for you. T-this is not to say that-"
"Relax, baby, I get what you mean" and they kissed, deeply and romantically this time.
They unlocked their muzzles when the alligator waitress returned.
"Here you go. Hope you enjoy."
"Thank you" said TJ politely, before digging into his sausage.
"I think I'm going to be traumatised" Carl said, seeing the brutal way the sausage was eaten, with Sydney cheering TJ on.
Without second thoughts, Carl divided his hashbrowns and gave a portion to Flynn. This prompted the reptile to show his own brand of affection, a kiss on the ram's cheek.
Ironically they ate more reservedly, while Syd and TJ ate barbarically.
