Summary: Illya struggles with the restaurant, the fact that he and Matt are drifting apart, and of being alone.
My thanks to my betas! Link takes you to AO3
“Cara, come here… quietly.”
Illya set down the boxes he’d been carrying and walked quickly to Matt’s side. There in a mess of piled up rags were two small still forms.
“What are they? Rats?”
“Not rats, Mattie, cats. Well, kittens, really. So young, too young to be on their own.” Illya knelt and studied the forms. He was inwardly thrilled to see they were both breathing. “Matt, go to the store. In the pet food aisle there should be some kitten formula, then go to the baby food aisle and get the smallest bottle you can find. The pharmacy next door might be better.” Illya reached into his pocket and pulled out two wadded up $20. He didn’t need new jeans, but these two little ones did need food. “And, quickly, Matt.”
