“My Lord,” called Whis
who was standing in Beerus’s sleeping chamber in the palace on his planet. “It’s
time to wake up.”
He got a big yawn from
the purple cat-like god in response.
“It can’t be that hard to
get up. You’ve only been asleep for five years.”
“I don’t wanna,” Beerus
groaned, still curled up on his golden cat bed.
“You don’t want me to
sing, do you?” Whis asked playfully.
Beerus lifted his head
slightly and grinned. “I brought ear plugs this time. You trick is not gonna
work on me like last time.” Beerus
yawned again and rested his head on one of his paws.
Whis rolled his eyes and
came up with a plan. He disappeared from the chamber and appeared in the
kitchen. Moments later, Whis reappeared in the same spot he was before. The
only difference was the angel was now sitting on a comfortable chair, with a
bowl of freshly made hot ramen with vegetables, slices of meat, and an egg on
top.
Having a good sense of
smell, Beerus sniffed, eyes still closed. He opened his eyes when he realized
what the food was. He stumbled out of bed and promptly fell off a floating
piece of rock, startled by one of the hovering hourglass alarms blowing up.
Whis waved his hand and slowed his decent. He landed with a thunk onto the
ground. Sighing, Beerus shook his head and walked over to Whis.
“It’s ramen!” he
explained, happily. “I hadn’t realized how hungry I could get, even after that
short nap.”
Whis tapped his staff on
the ground, and in a flash of light, the two of them appeared in the dining
room. Aquatic creatures swam to and fro in the deep blue water from outside.
Whis mentioned to a pot
with more soup inside. “There’s plenty for both of us,” he said. “I also made
some tofu, rice, mixed vegetables and smoked salmon too.” The food lay on
plates on the table. “I was going to save it all for myself but…”
“You what?!” Beerus asked
aloud.
Whis shrugged, “I’m just
saying, my Lord, I love cuisines as much as you do. I had to make sure I got plenty to eat.”
“And not saving any for
me?”
“You were asleep. I’ve
made food when you were in bed before. I don’t sleep, remember?”
Beerus sighed deeply. “Food
and sleep…two essential things in my million year life…besides destroying
planets. So hard to choose between each one!”
“Indeed,” Whis said with
a chuckle.
“Though how are you able
to go without ever sleeping? You’re missing out on getting essential rest,”
asked Beerus.
“Well sometimes I do ‘rest’
per se, but it’s mostly meditation and mental exercises. Besides there’s so
much to do, even for someone who’s lived so long,” explained Whis. “Besides,
you’re a cat, or partly so. Cats need their downtime.”
“What was that? What did
you just call me?! I’m a god, not some mortal feline!”
Beerus crushed a fork in
his hand and it instantly crumbled to dust.
“Come now, my Lord, there
is no reason to get so upset. I meant no offence by any means. Now finish your
ramen before it gets cold.”
“Fine then,” Beerus
responded, digging into his meal and slurping up the long noodles into his
mouth.
“You know, for a supreme
deity, you do show a gross lack of table manners,” Whis muttered.
Beerus looked up from
licking the broth with his tongue at Whis. “I can hear you, you know.”
Whis laughed in response
and began eating.
Hours later, nearly all
the food was gone.
“I’m stuffed,” Beerus
said, patting his stomach.
“If you keep eating so
much, you’ll be fat like Champa,” Whis teased.
“Shut up!” he responded
shortly before letting out a burp. “I’m far better than my brother in physique,
intelligence, everything really. Don’t forget that we won the Universal
Tournament against Universe 6, the baseball game on earth and the Tournament of
Power.”
He sat back, arms behind
his head, a look of arrogance on his face.
“True, but Champa did
beat you in that arm wrestling contest out in space. He got to eat a deluxe
chocolate éclair for being the winner. You got so mad that you blew up that one
planet between Mars and Jupiter. Earthlings call it Planet X.”
“Wow, that was a long
time ago,” said Beerus. “Time flies by even when you’re immortal.”
Beerus stood up and stretched
his arms. “Well, time to scout space and find worthless planets to destroy.”
“Wait, you need to brush
your teeth, my Lord.”
“Do I have to?” he
complained.
Whis flared at him,
eyebrow raised.
“Okay,” Beerus relented
and walked toward the bathroom.
“And floss as well!” Whis
added over the angry stomping of Beerus’s feet.
