"You eat a lot of meals! And it would just be heartbreaking if none of them have ever included, I don't know, latkes."

Permalink

"And there's one of the things I wouldn't have included on a list because I've never heard of it. Them? That word sounds plural but it doesn't really sound English."

And then, because kissing Asher here is a very bad idea and Sasha very much wants to do it, "Do you want to come back to our room with us?" 

Permalink

"Yes! --It's plural, latkes are a Peruvian food, they're potato pancakes." 

Permalink

"That doesn't sound heartbreaking to have never had but maybe I'm misunderstanding something about pancakes." 

Once they are in private and the door is locked he can definitely kiss Asher. 

Permalink

Okay, kissing is fun, but it is not nearly as important as food

Asher kisses him for a bit and then says, "latkes are so good, you need to try latkes. Kaleva, back me up here."

Permalink

"Latkes are in fact very good! Although I'm from Arendelle so I have no idea how you knew that I would know that."

Permalink

Oh come the fuck on, food is important but talking about food is not nearly as important as kissing. Also if they keep up the "things Sasha has never had the chance to do" line of discussion it's going to get depressing and he's going to share something he thought was lighthearted and they're both going to be horrified, he can feel it. 

"I am not objecting to trying latkes. Kiss me again?" 

Permalink

Okay, they can kiss, as long as Sasha doesn't mind Asher making lists of food to ask Sasha about in his head. 

(He is extremely pleased about the number of things he will get to introduce Sasha to.)

Kaleva picks up a book!

Maybe he will have more time for reading now.

"Plantains! Have you had plantains?"

Permalink

"I don't actually know what a plantain is so I'm going to go with no, and also I think you are maybe not getting that for sixteen years everything I ate came out of other people's garbage." He doesn't like bringing that up but seriously, does Asher not realize this. 

Permalink

He completely fails to react to this. 

"My parents' restaurant threw lots of things in the garbage. I don't know what countries your garbage barges came from, although I'm guessing the answer is 'Cinderellaberg'."

Permalink

 

 

He is not going to bring that story up. He is not. 

"Lots of places. I still don't actually know what plantains are." 

Permalink

"They're a kind of banana. Usually fried. They're also Peruvian."

Permalink

"Bananas don't travel very well. When I came here I was surprised to find out that usually they're yellow." 

Permalink

"Unless you're making banana bread, yeah. --You seem upset, I'm sorry."

Permalink

"Not your fault." Mostly. 

He pulls away from Asher and curls up in the corner of the couch. 

Permalink

Asher hugs him. "I'm sorry anyway."

Permalink

Kaleva is engrossed in an ethnography of the Huns and not paying any attention.

Permalink

It takes him a few moments to relax into the touch, but he does. 

Asher's warm. None of them really get it and they probably never will, but. Asher's warm. 

Permalink

"Je t'aime."

It would be really inconvenient if the person who spoke French were paying any attention at all, but fortunately he is not.

Permalink

"I don't know what that means, I don't speak French." 

Permalink

"It means 'I love you.'"

Permalink

He goes tense for a moment, but keeping himself tense is effort and it's not like Asher's going to hurt him. 

"That another thing you say to all the boys?" 

Permalink

"Nope. Only to you."
