"And I don't need sass, yet here we are." Jax snarks, turning on the water to wash some of the dishes. "Do you have any allergies? If you don't say so and have a reaction to any of my food, I will probably laugh."

"I'm lactose intolerant." Having this guy in his house was kind of surreal. Levi hadn't had people over since he got back home. He knew exactly how Sequoia would react if she saw all the empty soulless rooms in his house. She'd force him to fill them up with junk and watch him even more closely than usual to make sure he used them.

"Okay, no milk for you then. I can probably find some substitutes." Jax mused, he had cooked for people with lactose allergies before. "Anything else?" He asked, sliding some dishes into the dishwasher.

"No." Levi glared at the cook from the corner. He'd vaguely considered saying something outrageous like he was vegetarian who was allergic to gluten but he realized that he probably couldn't live like that. Meat was about 80% of his diet and he'd definitely die without it.

"Good, what are your favorite foods?" He asked, he may not want to be here, but that doesn't mean he would do a bad job. Don't be rude to your client and don't punch him, he's a soldier.

"Don't have any." Levi finished his cup and placed it into the sink, ignoring Jax's efforts to clean out all the dirty dishes. It was his sink after all. And what could Jax do to him? Refuse to work?

"Okay." He said, taking the cup and rinsing it. He put it in the washer and went to check the fridge. "Your fridge is empty, do you even eat?" He muttered as he pulled out a pad of paper and began to write on it.

"Sometimes." Levi knew that eating was important, and he did eat. It just took a while for him to get around to it. Besides, he ate when he was hungry. Even though that occurrence had become rare after his time in the army. As much as he hated to admit it, he probably didn't eat enough.

"Yeah, you look as if you don't eat." He commented, opening the pantry and recoiling in horror. "There. Is. So. Much. Ramen." Jax hissed.

"Yep."' Levi looked down at himself, trying to see if he looked skinny. His body looked the way it always had: thin but covered in lean muscle. He certainly didn't look starved. And why was Jax so opposed to ramen? It was convenient and easy for him to make. Why shouldn't he eat it?

"This ramen is an insult to chefs everywhere, I'm burning it." He says, grabbing a garbage bag and shoving all the ramen into it. "It will be gone, forever."

Levi frowned and snatched the trash bag from his hands. A few packs of ramen laid on the shelves, saved from their doom at Jax's hands. Something about Jax throwing out all his ramen made him kind of angry. This was his house and his food. He was the one who decided what to do with it. "It stays. Deal with it."

"Hmm, but no eating it when I'm here. If you want, I can make regular ramen, good ramen." He said, crossing his arms. Ramen was a crime to society. (I fucking love ramen!)

(Me too man. I'm pretty sure I have a bulk package in my kitchen rn)

"This is good ramen." Levi tossed the garbage bag into the trashcan and stepped away from Jax again. He had no desire to be near him for any amount of time now that his food was safe.

"No, it's artificial crap and it's unhealthy to eat that much." He argued back, snooping around more in the pantry. "At least you have flour and sugar."

This wasn't going to be fun. Levi could sense deep in his bones that Jax was going to pry about things and argue with him and shit, and Levi really wasn't prepared to deal with that. He was probably going to go and buy groceries soon. It was 10 and Levi definitely didn't have the ingredients needed to cook anything but ramen. "I don't eat it all at once."

(Has no clue how to respond to this because Lex only bakes…//

I'm also very tired…//

Yeet! I'm back!//

"Yeah, no dip." He said, pursing his lips and wrinkling his nose. "When did you last go through here and buy groceries?" He asked, his voice full of disgust as the smell of rotten vegetables filled the room.

"Uh…" Levi hadn't been shopping in… a month? A month and a half? Honestly, he couldn't remember. All he could remember was how much he'd hated the grocery store. How nervous he'd been as he struggled to pick out the correct items amidst loud bangs that made him want to scramble for the hills and people pushing themselves into is space.

"Fine." Jax huffed. "We're going shopping tomorrow. And there's no way you can get out of it Levi Akerman." He closed the fridge door with a bang. "I suppose ramen will have to do for now."

"Akerman?" Levi raised an eyebrow in a judgmental question. His last name certainly wasn't Akerman, it was Animus. Levi Animus.

Jax waved his hand to wave the question away. "It's an anime reference, don't worry about it." He said, laughing at his own little joke. "It's because your tall!"
