krystalkatzficzNino left the Military hospital feeling a hell of a lot better than when he had arrived. His insides seemed to be glowing brightly with his inner grace and none of his feathers were falling out as he walked. His head a little higher he found his feet taking him to the first hamburger store that he came across. It was a long way down the street from the hospital but he had been feeling so bad for the last couple of days that he hadn’t eaten anything but plain bread and water. The smell of greasy burgers and fries washed over him as he entered the shop and his stomach rumbled happily.
“Welcome to the Happy Burger, what can I get you?” A cheerful girl on the desk asked and Nino didn’t need to look at the menu before he said happily;
“Two double decker’s, a box of fries, and a cookies and cream milkshake, please”
“Coming right up” She punched in his order and he handed over the money moving to one side so he could wait. As he did so he saw a small child coming in holding the hand of an angel with yellow wings. It was a female angel with long black hair. She was clearly bonded as she was humming with grace and he wondered about the child. Angels couldn’t have children so it wasn’t hers.. They had the outward appearance of gender but internally they didn’t have the right make up. It was okay, he had never really cared for children but he did wonder how the partner of the bonded human felt having an angel around.
As he wondered that he thought about what his own human partner would be like. He had never given it much thought, even when he had decided to go with the option of joining the army to get one he hadn’t give it much thought. Meeting Doc Roe made him hope that his partner would be like that at least in the fact that he was gentle and caring.
“Sir, your order” The cheerful girl from the counter said with a grin handing over a tray with his burgers and fries. The smell forced out his thoughts and he grinned happily taking the tray as he muttered;
“Thank-you”
“You’re welcome” Nino nodded his head looking around for a seat glad to find one with a bench with no back. Although most restaurants did try and accommodate Angel’s wings nowadays there were still a few that seemed to think it was okay to make them sit with their wings scrunched up behind them. He sat at the table and lay his food out surprised when he heard the clearing of a thought and a gentle;
“Excuse me, but can we sit with you? This is the only backless bench?” Looking up Nino saw the Angel with the kid and he gave a nod motioning for her to sit down. The child, a boy with startling blue eyes and curly hair, grinned at him before moving to the chair opposite. “Thank-you, my name is Marianne”
“Nino, nice to meet you” Nino said pulling faces at the child who giggled happily while cramming the food from his child menu box into his mouth.
“You have come from the hospital? You have Gene’s grace” Marianne said with a smile as she took a bite of her crunchy leaf salad. Nino immediately paled wondering if the angel was going to shop him or the doctor to the higher-ups. “Relax, I am not going to say anything, I work with Gene, that’s all so I could tell. Also Gene has a strong grace”
“He does. His partner is lucky”
“Yes, and Babe knows it, eh? Julian, papa knows”
“Papa knows!” The boy Julian said happily dragging fingers through tomato ketchup with a happy grin. Nino tried his best not to wrinkle his nose at the sight glad that he won’t be the one that has to clean it up. Marianne didn’t seem to care however and was cooing about the pictures he was making in the sauce.
“Julian is the Doc and Babe’s adopted child, I am just on baby sitting duties because my partner who is Julian’s regular nanny has a cold, ne?” Marianne said with a grin as Julian gave a huge smile smashing smiley faced fries into the mess he was creating on the tray. “Are you excited about getting a partner?”
“I never really thought about, I just...Sort of...Decided, I’m nervous” Nino admitted for the first time feeling ashamed of feeling that way but Marianne seemed to understand as she rolled her shoulders in a shrug and then hummed;
“I think we all are, but Doc will make sure he sets you up with the best partner for you. He set me and my partner up and we are doing okay! I’ll tell you what! I will give you my number and if you need anything you can phone and talk to me! I’m not an archangel but I do understand what you’re going through, but don’t worry, it will work out for the best...” Panic flashed through the female angels face as she stared across the table at the boy who had finished making pictures in sauce and was now trying to cram sticks of carrot up his left nostril “Julian! No! Don’t put them up your nose! Sweet mercy, I don’t know how Erika does this every day! I will be glad when she gets better, don’t give me that look! It doesn’t work!” Marianne said as the boy flashed his bright blue eyes and stuck out his lower lip “I am a sergeant in the United States Airborne, I should not fall for pouty faces”
“I think that for today you might” Nino chuckled as somehow the boy’s eyes seemed to shine though he wasn’t really crying.
“...Okay, I’m sorry for shouting but you can’t put carrots up your nose, Daddy will shout at me!” Marianne said slowly looking horrified at the very idea. Julian looked thoughtful for a moment and then grinned reaching over the table and squeezing her hand. Nino didn’t like kids all that much but he had to admire how manipulative Julian was and he couldn’t even be three yet. He was going to be a monster when he got older. Thankfully after that that though he went about eating his meal without further incident and Marianne wrote down her number on to a napkin.
“Here you go, just give me a call if you need anything”
“Here you go, just give me a call if you need anything”
“Thanks” Nino gave a genuine smile and then decided to give her his number. He didn’t have very many friends. The only one that he did was Sakurai Sho and he had moved to Hawaii to be with the partner they had picked out for him. Oddly Masaki was Japanese but had moved when he was a kid and was now a mess officer at the Hawaiian base. Nino thought it amusing that Sho, who could not cook to save his life, had been paired with somebody that had to cook 500+ meals a day, he could only hope that Masaki never let him help cook. “Um, if I don’t call you can call me...Just not if its a carrot related issue...”
“Urgh, trust me, I won’t be doing this again in a hurry” Marianne smiled rolling her eyes while finishing her salad and Nino ate his burgers. It had been a surprisingly good day, he decided happily.
TBC
A/N: I hope that this is okay...Marianne and Julian are complete OC’s though John Julian was a private that was shot and Babe Heffron blamed himself (If you read the ao3 version that gets covered) so I think it would be sweet for him to name his son after him...
