It went very simply.
It was Alec's birthday - he'd just turn ten - so after he'd been dropped off at Andrew's office he walked in and said, "It's my birthday. I want ice cream for dinner. You promised."

Alec gives him a stubborn look.
no subject
Because why the hell would Andrew ever get ice cream alone?
no subject
Who knows. Why the hell would Andrew ever get ice cream, period?
no subject
After sighing for a moment, he stands and nods. "Lead the way, then."
no subject
Still! He'll lead the way. "Lukas got me a hat and some books," he says as he walks.
He neglects to mention that Lukas also let him have ice cream already.
no subject
Because he hadn't thought to bring it with him. Of course not. This whole birthday party thing was new to him, even one so simple as this.
no subject
Andrew's getting to do all sorts of new things.
no subject
At least he's aware of what is and isn't an appropriate gift for a ten year old boy. Mostly. It remains to be seen.
no subject
He is satisfied with the lack of books and socks answer. He's curious to see what Andrew got him, but he isn't going to ask.
no subject
A pause, and then the inevitable question. "Are we nearly there? You're not dragging me all the way across town for ice cream."

They continue walking for a few moments until they arrive at the ice cream parlor, and Andrew pushes the door open for Alec.
"What are you going to have?"
He can't say with any certainty that he's ever stepped foot in an ice cream parlor, not even this one that's apparently within walking distance of his apartment.
no subject
"I want a banana split with vanilla and strawberry ice cream, caramel, whip cream and peanuts." He says this promptly. "What about you?"
no subject
"Vanilla, maybe," he finally says. Sugar has never been his thing.
no subject
Alec lives on sugar. At least, he'd like to.
The guy behind the counter smiles at Alec and looks amused. He recognizes the fact that the boy was there just an hour or so ago.
no subject
See -- he's capable of listening. Even if he thinks the idea is terrible and likely to result in a stomachache.
"And I'll have a small scoop of vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup."
no subject
Alec is going to have a major sugar buzz and then stomach ache later.
"It has fruit in it. It's healthy."
no subject
The ice cream is handed to him, he pays, and then walks to a table, setting Alec's ice cream on one side.
"There you go. Knock yourself out."
no subject
Still, he attacks the ice cream with rapid scoops.
no subject
He doesn't sound exactly convinced, but feeding a child healthy, well-rounded meals is something you're supposed to do, right? He picks at his ice cream with his spoon, not taking a bite yet.
no subject
The strawberry is gone and he's got whip cream on his nose.
no subject
He's not going to comment on the whipped cream on Alec's nose. He'll just get more on him even if he wipes it off, at the rate he's eating.
no subject
no subject
He's not sure if being scary is really the best way for your pseudo-child to describe you.
