Fallout 3
Midnight Snack
by pchberrytea
Butch DeLoria hates the taste of strawberry. The night before the events of “Escape!”, when crap was still mostly normal, he comes across Vault 101’s resident nosebleed in the kitchens practicing for the vault cake bake-off. Typical Butch-style annoyance ensues, ‘cuz who wouldn’t take a golden opportunity to bug Lainey? Fast forward a couple of nights and Lainey’s gone, vault security has regained some control and everyone’s locked down tight under mandatory curfew, and maybe worst of all Butch is friggin’ starving. The only option available is a slice of cake left behind for him that he hasn’t touched. And y’know what? Maybe strawberry ain’t so bad.
