"Who's that with boss?" One Hyperion employee asks the other as they discreetly watched Jack and (Y/n) from the other side of the diner.

     "I don't know. Maybe the boss's new side piece?" She says with uncertainty before they both nod in agreement.

     "So, is Helios also a colony of its own?" (Y/n) asked as she looked around at her surroundings from where she sat.

     "Yep, the employees need a place to stay so we have living spaces and places like these set up." Jack says with a shrug and hands in his pockets. A waitress walks over and hands the two menus, Jack declines, "Just coffee. Black." He says as she nods and looks at (Y/n).

     "Oh um..." She looks at the waitress and at Jack, "Uhm w-water for me." She says with a sheepish smile. The waitress nods and walks off.

     "Didn't take you for a person who didn't like coffee." Jack says with a brow raised.

     "I do like coffee." She defends with a wave of her hands before pouting and looking at the menu, "I-It's a long story is rather not get into." Jack looks at her skeptically before nodding.

     "Sure, cupcake." He leans over, resting his forearms on the table as his eyes watched her, "So, what're you gonna get?" He asks.

     "Um... I'm not sure." (Y/n) grumbles as she flipped through the menu, "I've never had anything on this menu before." She admits.

     "What?" Jack looks at her with a shocked expression, genuinely shocked, and takes the menu from her hands, "You've never had anything that's on this menu?" (Y/n) shakes her head and blushed slightly in embarrassment.

     "N-No..."

     "Not even flapjacks?"

     "What's that?" She asks with a slight tilt of her head. Jack face palms with both of his hands.

     "Oh my god!" He shouts that causes others to glance over at them.

     "Well I'm sorry that we don't have anything on Pandora that you have here!" (Y/n) says with a flustered face and crossing her arms.

     "They're like pancakes, pumpkin." He explains, "Have you ever had pancakes?"

     "No."

     "Waffles?"

     "Uh uh." She shakes her head.

     "Bacon?"

     "Nada." 

     "What the hell do you people eat then?" Jack asks with a look of disbelief.

     "W-Well," (Y/n) starts while trying to figure out how to explain it, "If we're lucky, and desperate while on the brink of starvation... We'll eat a slag or two." She admits as Jack stares at her.

     "That's..." He starts before shaking his head and shifting in his chair, "That's fucking nasty."

     "Hey! If you were hungry and had nothing else to eat, you would do the same!"

     "I wouldn't eat a skag!" Jack argued, "If things came to worse then I'll probably, most likely eat a human if I was desperate." (Y/n) groans in disgust. "Hey, it's survival of the fittest and/or let natural selection take its course."

     "You're sick."

     "Takes one to know one, cupcake." He says and sighs, "I'm ordering for you."

     "Why?" (Y/n) frowns.

     "Because you've never had any of these dishes nor know half of them. So I'll choose something that you'll like." He says and she huffs.

     "I'm not a child."

     "I know, but even a child would know what these are."

     "Not if they were from Pandora. Waffles is something they would think is some kind of relic from a Vault." She defends as he sighed with a shake of his head.

     "Alright I got it." Jacks says as the waitress comes back with a mug of black coffee and a glass of water.

     "Ready to order, ma'am?" She asks.

     "Yes she is and she'll be having a 74." Jack orders for her and the waitress nods while jotting it down, "And I change my mind about not getting anything. I'll get the omelette." He adds.

     "Alright, your food will be here shortly." She informs as Jack hands her the menu and she takes it.

     "Great, thanks, cupcake." Jack says with a wink to the waitress, who blushes and giggles while walking off. (Y/n) rolls her eyes at the scene.

     "Is someone jealous~?" He crooned with a grin and she scoffs, but blushing ever so slightly.

     "What? No. Over you? Tch. Gross." She clicked her tongue as she looked away from him. Jack hums with a knowing smirk.

     "Whatever you say, cupcake. You will be at some point since you're living with me now." He says as he picks up his mug and sips his coffee.

     "Ha, alright. In your dreams." (Y/n) says with a scoff, "From what I'm feeling right now is forever annoyance over jealousy."

     "That can change in the later future." Jack shrugs with a chuckle.

     "The day my view of you changes is the day you stop being so egotistical and self-centered."

     "Fuck that." He scoffs, "Never."

     "Exactly." (Y/n) hums as she sipped her water. Jack nods as he glanced up at her.

     "How old are you?" He asks, "Just out of curiosity." She looks up at him in slight surprise by the question before shrugging.

     "Well, I was 19 yesterday. I'm 20 today." She says while resting her chin in her palm. Jack drinks some coffee and puts his mug down.

     "Wait. Today's your birthday?" He asks and she sighs with a nod.

     "Yeah. I'm an adult now." She says sarcastically with a bittersweet smile.

     "What's that supposed to mean?"

     "It means you can stop treating me like a child and order my food for me." (Y/n) huffs as she leaned  back in her seat, "I wish I were older though."

     "Why's that?" Jack asks with a slight frown.

     "Because being older means being wiser. But after meeting you, you're nowhere near wise." She says bluntly as Jack gasps.

     "How dare you! I'm not old at all."

     "How old are you then?" (Y/n) raises a brow and looked at him blankly.

     "Old enough to be at least wise."

     "You seem old enough to be my dad."

     "Now that's weird. Okay? Don't say shit like that when I'm obviously trying to get with you." He says as he scrunched up his nose.

     "Do you have a kid?" (Y/n) inquires while taking a sip of her water. Jack's quiet before looking away from her.

     "Yeah."

     "How old are they?" He shrugs as he sipped his coffee.

     "I don't know. Like 18 by now." (Y/n) looks at him with a brow raised and arms crossed. Jack catches this look and scoffed. "Alright, you might be around the same age as my daughter but that doesn't mean shit."

     "You have a daughter?"

     "Yeah." She gives him the same look again. "I can't believe you. Y'know what? Let's just drop this topic because it's making me uncomfortable." He huffed.

     "You're the one who asked how old I was." (Y/n) states as she quirked her brow slightly. He clicked his tongue and rolls his eyes.

     "Whatever. Anyway, happy birthday, cupcake." Jack mumbled as she smirked slightly, seeing that she has won this round.

     "Thanks." She says as the food finally arrives. The waitress takes a plate off the tray and places it down in front of Jack.

     "An Eggs Benedict." She says and takes another plate, placing it in front of (Y/n), "And a 74, 2 stacks of chocolate chip pancakes. Here's your butter and syrup." She says as she placed the butter and syrup down with the pancakes. (Y/n) looks at the pancakes in wonder, mouth watering slightly. "Enjoy." The waitress says with a small smile and walking off.

     "Wow." (Y/n) says as she puts the butter and syrup onto the pancakes. Jack smirks as she starts eating his food.

     "Go ahead, cupcake. Give it a taste." She looks at him and nods a bit, taking a piece of the pancake and eating it. Jack watches her expression closely as he ate and she sits there. She blushes slightly and gulps it down.

     'It's really good...' She thinks to herself.

     "So how is it?" Jack asks and (Y/n) shrugs.

     "It's alright." She says, trying to act like she didn't like it.

     "What? It's just 'alright'?" He asks and she nods, "There's no way. Admit it, it's the best goddamned thing you have ever had." (Y/n) blushed slightly.

     "Why should I? If I think it's okay then it's okay." She huffed stubbornly, Jack sighs and smirks. Taking her plate and she watches in confusion as he cuts the pancake into piece, forking a slice and bringing it up to his lips.

     "Alright, then if you don't like it, I'll eat it for you-"

     "No!" She says and swiftly snatches the plate away from him, "I like it alright? Damn..." (Y/n) clicked her tongue as she ate her pancakes. Jack chuckles with a smirk and eats the piece of pancake
