"Could that have taken any longer." Vastos grumbled to himself before he took a sip from his cappuccino. He had made a stop at "Centuarin Donuts" to grab at coffee to get him through the day and two dozen donuts for his boss.
But those service workers really dragged their feet today, he was going to be late. Though these donuts should put his boss in a good mood. Mr. Minos was probably the biggest glutton that Vastos had seen. Big, blubbery, and always had his belly sitting on the table. Nit to mention Mr. Minor always seemed to be eating whenever he saw him. Really the definition of a corporate fat cat, qell except the cat part
Vastos heard his cell phone ring. He groaned he didn't have any hands free to pick it up. He spoke some ancidnt words and a blue spectral hand appeared. Perks of being a Tiefling of having remants of magic from otherworldy creatures. The hand grabbed Vastos's phone in his pocket and showed him the screen. The caller ID said it was his boyfriend Jaeger. A Goliath that always seemed to be at the gym. The two had meet at a gay bar 3 years ago. While it was supposed to be just a one night stand it had grown to be something more intimate. 2 years later they were sharing an apartment together.
Vastos took a deep breath. He didnt want to sound snippy at him."Hey babe,good morning." Vastos said witha sweet purr to it.
"Morning babe, I thought I give you a call since I didn't get to say goodbye this morning." Jaeger said.
"Yeah sorry babe I waited as long as I could for you to get home but I didn't want a nt to run late." Those those shitty servie workers did I great job making that happen.
"Hey its alright babe, don't worry about it. Boss had use working later wanting to finish the foundation before we let. Got some overtime money for it!"
"Awesome!" Suddenly a loud growl came from Vastos stomach. Loud enough that it even picked up on the phone. Vastos frowned. "The fuck was that?"
Jaeger laughed. "Oh looks like someone os hungry, did you forgot to eat your breakfast bar for"bab the morning?"
"...Yes" Vastos admitted.
"Babe you know it's not healthy to skip breakfast." Jaeger said in a soft voice.
"I didn't mean to I just forgot to grab on on my way out. I'll make sure to eat a bigger salad today for lunch". Vastos said.
Jaeger yawned. "Alright well I'm gonna take a nap. Then head to the gym later You have a good day at work babe."
Vastos smiled softly. "Sweet dreams." The spectral hand hanged up and put the phone back in Vasto's pocket. Vastos took another sip from hos cappuccino and headed off to Orcus CORE.
*******
"Oh I shouldn't... Vastos should be here soon with my donuts. Or but what he doesn't know won't hurt him." Mr. Minos said to himself before gobbling down cronuts.
The door to Mr. Minos's door opened as Vastos stepped in with the boxes of donuts in hand. "Your two dozen donuts sir."
"Oh! Vastos thanks!" Mr. Minos said swiftly wiping his mouth trying to hide the powdered sugar ans crumbs on on his mouth.
"What a pig." Vastos thought to himself. He placed the donuts on Mr. Minos's desk. Right now Mr. Mino's desk was clean, thought by lunch time it would be covered in fast food wrapping and all sorts of junk food. Vastos swore this minotaur was always eating when he saw him.
"Thanks Vastos I don't know what I'd do-" Before Mr. Minos could finish his sentence a loud growl of hungry came from Vastos's stomach again.
"Burly Baphomat, was that your stomach?" Mr. Minos said.
Vastos couldn't believe his stomach had rated him out like this, why couldn't wait five hours like it usually did. "Yes.." Vastos admitted.
"Here please take this then, I hate to see my worker striving on my watch." Mr. Minos said pushing the dozen donuts box to Vastos.
"Oh no I can't make I'll just have one or two." Vastos said.
"No I inisit, I know that kind of hunger and it shouldn't be taken lightly you can give me whatever is left later. I'll call you if I need anything. I have another lunch with the other executives and I need you in tip top shape. Now go enjoy breakfast." Mr. Minos said.
"Thanks." Vastos said before he left Mr. Mino's office with the donuts in hand.
Vastos groaned this was the last thing he wanted. Sugary unhealthy pastries, but ahit was he hungry. Just one or two and make a small salad for lunch.
Vastos headed to his office. It was anything grand like Mr. Minos, who's office was as grand as his gut. But it was cozy. Vastos had made it is own, decorating it with pictures of his him and his boyfriend, some paraphernalia of his favorite TV shows and games.
Vastos plopped down at his seat and opened the donut box glaring at them. He didn't want to wheat them. Another pang of hunger but his stomach was given him no choice in the matter.
Vastos grabbed a glazed donut and took a small bite. He groaned in delight. Man that was a good donut. He couldn't help but finish it off in three large bites. "Just on more" he thought to himself as he grabbed a chocolate donut... then a strawberry frosted donut, chocolate sprinke donut and on and on and on.
He couldn't help himself it was like something had taken over he was hungry snd needed more.
When he reached for another donut and found nothing he came back to his senses. "FUCK!" He screamed in his mind. What in the nine hells happened?!
Clearly this was an outlier, a warning not to skip breakfast again. Vastos stifled a burp. Maybe just a leaf of lettuce for lunch...
