Instead of standing to start the kettle, Taako risked reaching forward across the table, palm facing upward and fingers lax. Angus, movements unsure, as if he thought the Elf would pull his hand away, very lightly put his hand in Taako's.

Summary
Living in the city had massive perks. For one, they didn't have to drive everywhere; there was usually something fun within walking distance. Even Angus' school was just down the street from their apartment. This restaurant that Carey picked out was three blocks away, practically under their feet. For one: b, they didn't have to worry about parking, an activity that tested Taako's patience even worse than walking among crowds.
Between the heat and the lunchtime rush, Angus figured nothing else would dare try Taako. Fate had another idea.
---
An encounter with a past lover, in poetic terms. Taako would just say, "He's lucky I had a kid with me, that stupid motherfucker!"

"We're going out," Lup told Taako earlier that day, her tone brooking no argument. "I already asked Lucretia if she could watch peanut, and she said yes. Pick me up at nine."
She hung up, then, and Taako was left standing with his phone to his ear in the middle of the kitchen, halfway done with making breakfast.

Summary
Usually other people were struck dumb by Taako's looks. This was the first time it was the other way around since… well. "Uh, n-no," Taako finally stammered once he gathered his thoughts, pulling his notebook and coffee closer to him to free up the other half of the table. "It's open."

Does this count as a meet cute?

"Next lesson," he said, taking Angus' smaller hand in his. Angus tried to pull away but Taako was too strong, aiming Angus' wand at what remained of the last human standing in front of them.
Taako shifted, pointing Angus' wand more directly, and hissed, "Crown of Madness," through his teeth.

"It's a work… thing," Kravitz finally blurted out above the low sound of a sitcom.
Taako, half asleep against him with some of his own hair in his mouth, made an adorably confused noise in response. "What's a work thing, baby?" he murmured against Kravitz' shirt.

Angus dropped his backpack in his bedroom, passing by the bathroom on his way. Warm, fragrant air wafted out at him from under the door and he saw candlelight flickering in the gap rather than the harsh fluorescent overhead light.

Summary
Julia took her chance to scoop Angus up, squeezing and tickling him until he laughed so hard his glasses almost fell off.
When Angus could breathe again, he looked around for Taako and found him leaning against the wall in the doorway of the kitchen. "Don't rough up my boy too much," he drawled. "I need to claim him on my taxes."
