Ace looked over when he walked in, then looked back at the wall. He was honestly just enjoying the silence. "Thank you." He said quietly, shifting his weight a bit so he could tuck his arm under the pillow, pulling the blankets up a bit more.

"You're welcome," Derek mumbled, not used to saying the words. He rarely didn't, usually shrugged it off with a grunt. "Dinner will be ready in a little bit.." He huffed, slinking back out of the room. One thing about Derek was that he could cook. He began to go through Parish's kitchen and started pulling things out for pasta, careful of the ingredients he used as he worked.

Ace watched him go before he laid his head back down, closing his eyes. He wasn't used to just laying around, but it was a welcome change to being abused or tormented. He finally got up and pulled on his jeans at the end of the bed, not bothering with a shirt before he walked downstairs, looking into the living room before he stopped in the kitchen. "Can I have a drink?" He asked quietly.

Derek glanced up at him quietly, mid taste of the pasta sauce, and rose an eyebrow comically. He began to stir again, pausing to lean against the counter and look at him. "Yeah, what you want?" He huffed.

Ace shrugged, sitting down carefully at the table. He was used to asking, had never really had a home where he was welcome to get what he pleased. His own mother hadn't even let him get his own drinks. "Water's fine.." He said quietly.

Derek smiled, had figured the would be the answer. He found the glasses exactly where they had been when he first got here last week, and pulled one down, filling it with cool water and bringing it to the table. Then he returned to his cooking, setting the strainer in the sink and pouring the noodles in.

Ace took it with a thanks, taking a sip from it. He looked over at him, watching him cook. It had never been something he was interested in, especially because he was terrified of burning himself. Water and fire didn't mix. He reached up, rubbing his eye.

Derek grabbed the sauce and stuck it in the microwave before grabbing four plates and divvying out the noodles, pulling bread from the oven and tossing a slid on each. He brought them to the table, grabbing a bottle of juice and three more cups and setting them there as well before returning for silverware and the sauce. "Girls, dinner."

Ace looked up as Chantel bounced in, throwing her arms around Derek in a hug before she sat down. Parish was there a moment later, sitting down at the table carefully. He looked at her before he looked down, messing with his fingers slowly. He didn't want to be a bother.

Derek hugged her gently before sliding Ace's plate towards him with a gentle smile, sitting down next to him. He offered him the sauce quietly, bringing a hand to his mouth as he yawned.

"Thank you.." Ace said quietly, putting the sauce on his noodles before he handed it to Chantel. She smiled at him, and he forced a smile back, reaching for his fork. He looked over at Derek, then down at his food, carefully stirring the noodles in the sauce.

Derek waited for them to fix their plates, absently tapping his fingers on the table until the sauce got around to him. He ladled it onto his own noodles and set it back in the middle, pouring himself and Chantel glasses of juice before passing it to Parish and picking up his fork.

Ace took a bite out of his food, chewing it slowly and swallowing it before he looked over at Derek. "It's really good." He said quietly. But he never got real food, either. He took another bite of it, looking over at Chantel cutting up her noodles. She smiled at him, reaching over to pat his head. He shrank back, biting his lip.

"Mm," Derek huffed, his usual 'thanks' or 'welcome'. He ate quietly until Ace shrank back and glanced up. "Careful, Chantel," He murmured, glancing at the two in turn with faint, weak smile. He reached for his juice and took a swallow, then picked his fork up again.

She pouted, poking her food with her fork. Ace took another bite of his food, looking down and hoping she wouldn't try to touch him again.
"Why's he so mean to me?" She asked, and Ace wanted to groan.
