Viktor led the way through the busy main room into the much less crowded kitxhen where platters upon platters were being arranged by the catering crew. Viktor shuffled passed them and went to the counter by the fridge where several tupperwares sat full of homemade food.
“Mama Havania always brings us our favorites, it’s like her tradition.” He said with a proud grin. “I love her acarajé and her cheesy pao.” He offered up the cheesy roll first. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

“It certainly smells good.” Bernadette said, offering a smile though she couldn’t say she felt much like eating. But it was quieter in the kitchen and less crowded, which she was thankful for. |

Viktor didn’t pay much mind to Bernadette not eating the bread and simply grabbed a few more rolls and a tupper full of some sort of beans before indulging a little himself.
“I’m glad you came.” He said around a bite of pao. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

Bertie took a little nibble on her roll, it was good but she just didn’t feel much like eating. Instead she offered hers out to him.
“It’s good, but my stomach is bothering me. Finish mine?” She asked. |

“Your stomach? Why? Do you feel sick? Like the flu?” Viktor immediately set his food down and went to take Bernadette’s roll to set that down as well. He reached up to press the flat of his hand to her forehead. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

Bernadette flushed, her face burning as she leaned away from the touch.
“No, nothing like that.” Bertie swatted at his hand. “It’s just a lot, hot and crowded out there.” She explained. |

“Oh...you know, we can go hang out in my room if you want. Mama and Papa won’t miss me, Sasha and Mila are here, plus the other hundred people.” Viktor suggested, gesturing to the service staircase at the back of the kitchen that went up to the bedrooms. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

“Are you sure? You won’t miss the party?” Bernadette asked. |

“Why would I? You’re here, that’s all I need to have a good time.” Viktor smiled. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

Bernadette smiled, cheeks rosy with excitement and embarrassment, but was grateful for the gesture.
“Okay, maybe just for a little while. At least til I feel better.” She nodded. |

Without thinking, Viktor reached for Bernadette’s hand and guided them towards the narrow staircase.
Unlike the main rooms of the suite, the bedroom hallway upstairs was completely empty, save for Sasha’s old room which was serving as the coat room due to its proximity to the main staircase. People, mostly people helping with the party, were periodically coming in and out with coats. Viktor’s room was closest to the service staircase so they didn’t cross paths with anyone.
He opened his bedroom door and flicked on the lights.
It was a normal teenaged boys room with a bed messed from sleep, a desk full of homework and a few sports magazines, and even a tv and video game setup (though the tv was far bigger than a normal tv for a bedroom for sure). As they entered, Viktor bent over a few times to gather some socks that had leaped from his hamper and onto the floor. He shoved them into his gym bag and kicked that towards the hamper. It all needed to be washed anyhow.
Bernadette was no stranger to his room, they studied plenty together and just hung out lots of times before.
“Do you want to sit? Lay down?” He gestured towards his bed. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

Bernadette had been in Viktor’s room many times before, but it felt weirdly foreign; like she wasn’t supposed to be in there. Anxiously she fidgeted with her hands, already wandering over to his bed to sit down.
“I’ll sit, do you mind opening a window?” She asked. |

“Of course, but if it gets too cold, let me know.” Viktor bobbed his head and went over to crack the window a bit before going to join Bernadette on the bed. He couldn’t help but notice her wringing her hands anxiously. “Bertie...is everything okay?” He asked her. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |

Upon being noticed she settled her hands in her lap, it looked deliberate and unnatural, which she noticed herself and chuckled nervously then.
“Ah, I’m sorry. I’ve had a lot on my mind lately. It’s made me less like myself.” Bertie sighed. |

“What have you been thinking about? Is there anything I can do to help you?” Viktor asked, his brows furrowed earnestly. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts. |
