Content: SFW?
Summary: Vinnie is setting up lunch for himself (another care package from momma) and meets Brody along the way

There was nothing like homemade food. Nothing in the world. Especially when you were Italian, and the food came from your grandmother, who was obviously the world's best cook. Second to her was your mother. This was just the way of things in Vinnie's life, and he loved every moment. He loved being a part of a huge family, loved having so many siblings, loved holidays at home, loved being surrounded by kids and adults at summer bar-b-ques and Christmas parties and the like. Sometimes, yeah it was nice to be away from them and at school where he almost had his own room. But he did miss them sometimes, especially when it got too quiet.

So they sent him food, and things from home that showed that they cared. But mostly food. As his mother put it, "And who knows what sort of things they think are edible at that school of yours? No no no, you get good things from me in the mail. You gotta eat, you're all skin and bones still." Hence the care packages packed with way too much food for him. This time was mostly antipasto things, finger food, and bread. Oh the bread. Vinnie's mother and older cousins made their own bread at home. This time, they put some sort of freshness charm on it so the bread was even still warm when he got it, fresh from the oven. he decided to make himself an al fresco lunch of bread and cheese, olives and mushrooms, some roasted peppers and prosciutto wrapped bread sticks, and eat in the common room. The table now set up with his family's offerings, he sat down to enjoy his lunch.

Just as she usually did whenever the Ciccarelli family sent a care package, Brody appeared over Vinnie's shoulder shortly after he settled down to eat. Just the smell of the breadsticks alone was enough to bring her from a mile away, Vinnie's mother made the best bread that Brody had ever tasted. Combine that with everything else delicious that she packed in with it? There was nothing better.

Sometimes she felt a little like a mooch, but then there was the fact that since she was going to be hanging around Vinnie anyway, she might as well enjoy all of the perks.

Sliding the chair across from him without a shred of hesitation, the red haired girl fixed him with a serious look. "Is that straight up prosciutto? Because I will take my top off like, right now for a bite," she joked, grinning at him.

She had been meaning to catch up with Vinnie for a while anyway. She had wanted to ask him to the Valentines dance, but had backed out at the last minute after her brother ridiculed her mercilessly about how a girl can't ask a boy to a dance. It would emasculate him, according to Shane. She had made him chocolates for Valentines day too, but after all of the ridicule from said brother, she had never sent those either. They were still in her room, under strict protection from a freshness charm, just waiting to be eaten.

Maybe she'd give them to him later, if this went well.
