Routines

It had been a few weeks now and everything had settled into a comfortable routine.
He would show up everyday at 5:30 just before the staff woke up and got two large pots of coffee going, washing up any remaining dishes from the night and starting on breakfast.
Two large skillets of scrambled egg, almost two full packs of bacon and sausages that he deftly plated and moved the platters to the counter, two loaves of toast with the butter dish and two jams beside its plate, and then when all was said and done he pulled a bag of fresh fruit from his tote and sliced up strawberries and oranges.
The fruit was always finished when the now awake employees made their way downstairs, retrieving their respective cups that were out and ready and getting their caffeine fix.
Scott made sure to greet them all from his spot at the sink washing up the pots and pans used in preparing breakfast.
If Hank happened to miss breakfast he would make him a plate and coffee and have Pietro run it to him, the students breakfast starting as soon as the staffs ended. Logan loved to skip breakfast due to the crowded nature of the kitchen so a doggy bag of snacks and fruit always waited in the garage's mini fridge for him to break into. Once the breakfast and washing up was done he walked through the halls on occupied floors and retrieved the laundry baskets that had been placed outside of doors, everyone accumulated there own at different rates. Those were dumped down the shoot to the basement where the automated services took care of it for him to retrieve later.
Piotr made his appearance at breakfast as much as he could but oftentimes went to work out on the lawn in the early hours when he had spare time, Scott always wandered out when he could spare a moment and placed an orange beside the man's water bottle, sometimes he was noticed and sometimes not, he didn't particularly care , just wanted to make sure his vitamins stayed at a good level.
He often had to keep an eye on the soap dispenser.
He had easily correlated Wade to Deadpool only after a day of working there and managed to hit it off with the anti hero. Wade was the only one Scott was comfortable being his true self around, service voice leaving and his accent coming out thicker and laced with curses and jests, Wade did good keeping their little shit talks a secret.
The halls were swept daily, with vacuuming being done every Friday unless it was needed beforehand. He followed the same schedule with dusting but it followed a biweekly schedule of Fridays.
Bathrooms were checked everyday for any touch ups with hard cleaning getting done every Tuesday, today being that day.
He was on the third floor , the large hall bathroom had been splattered with hair dye by Kitty who had been attempting to change things up but got so nervous the bottle phased right through her hand and busted on the counter. The poor girl apologized until she was blue in the face with Scott constantly assuring her that it was fine and that she needed to get to school before she was late.
He was on his knees at the tub, bent over the side scrubbing at the stains in the basin. His headphones blared with Korn as he did so, nodding his head along as the brush scraped over the blackened acrylic. The bleach was getting a bit strong at this point and he rocked back on his heels so he could stand to turn the fan when a hand rested on his bare shoulder.
“FUCK”
He jumped up and snatched his head phones off , whirling around to see an apologetic Piotr.
“Oh god its just you i'm so sorry for that excuse my mouth”
Scott rested a hand on his chest as he attempted to calm his pounding heart.
“My apologies for startling you. i should have announced myself”
Scott leaned around his figure and hit the switch for the fan .
“So what's up?”
“I was reading the suggestion box, we must compile menu for next week”
“Oh alright, if you could just write down what everybody asked for ill weed through it once i'm done in here”
He turned back towards the tub after Colossus stepped out and got back to scrubbing.
He pulled his work shirt over his tank top and stepped out of the bathroom, bleach and brush in hand.
The cleaning supplies all resided in a locked cabinet downstairs , keeping them safe from children and wade alike. The key ring on his hip granted him access and he placed the spray bleach back in its spot with the brush tossed into a bucket with its brothers and sisters.
When he closed the doors he was greeted by wade leaning against the cabinet.
he flinched and sighed , casting wade a harsh glare.
“Quit sneaking up on me “
“Sorry limp bizkit can't help it”
“Oh my god i listen to like three of there songs”
Wade loved to pick on his taste for nu metal and heavier tracks.
“Can't help im just so edgy and cool”
He shrugged as he made his way back into the kitchen to check for any dishes that may have appeared. Hanks cup and plate greeted him and he rinsed it and wade hopped up to sit on the counter.
“Figured he be better house trained and would wash his own dish”
Scott couldn't help the laugh that bubbled from his lips at Wade's shitty joke.
“Your so mean”
“Can't help it im just so edgy and cool”
Wade mocked back with a terrible rendition of scotts southern twang.
He soaped up the dishes and rolled his eyes.
“I do not sound like that”
“Say ‘tomato””
Scott kept his mouth shut.
“Exactly”
He flicked the water from his soapy fingers at the other in an attempt to run him off.
The teasing was an everyday occurance.
“Hey love bugs, you guys done with those cups?”
He turned to Ellie and Yukio who sat on their phones together at the table, free hands intertwined together on top of the wood.
“Yep”
Scott nodded his head at Wade who moved to retrieve the cups from the table for him.
“Better watch it hand holding gets you pregnant”
Scott giggled at Wade's childish statement and took the cups from his hand adding them to the soapy water.
“Scott, are you always this lavish?”
He turned to see Wade lifting his ring from the counter, the solid gold ring carved into the face of a native chieftain, his headpiece made up of diamonds, his most cherished possession.
“Hey careful that was a gift from my momma”
He watched as the man attempted to put it onto his larger fingers.
“Baby hands”
“Man fuck you”
It came out so quick he froze when he realized he had stated it loud enough for Ellie and Yukio to hear.
“Yall aint hear nothing”
He gave them a look and they nodded in agreement.
“Wade imma get your ass, i keep slipping up i even cussed at Piotr “
“That was accident”
They both jumped as Colossus stepped into the kitchen with a paper in hand ,setting it on the counter beside scotts rings.
“The list you requested”
“Thank you”
Wade groaned from his seat on the counter.
“How are you so nice and professional allll the time”
Scott rolled his eyes
“Ya momma”
He turned back to the dishes as Wade sat scandalized. He called after the retreating colossus.
“You're gonna let her bully me like that?!”
“Da”
Scott burst into laughter, leaning against the sink in a fit of giggles as wade groaned and moved down from his perch.
“I can't believe this betrayal”
“You'll be ok baby”
