The hostess got them seated and handed out the menus. Just as they were about to place their drink orders, Pratt jumped up.
"Tyler! Stephen! Over here!" He waved at the three other guys as they came in. Without waiting to be seated, the three came over.
"Hey guys. Surprised to see you here. I thought you were all on strict diets for your superhero roles?" Tyler asked.
"Like you two?" Pratt laughed. "No. We're done with all that and are just going to enjoy ourselves now. Hey Clay, didn't know you were with them."
The football star smiled and nodded at him. "Yeah. Ran into Tyler as I was coming in with Stephen."
Pratt raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"
"Yeah. Stephen here was going to help me bulk up. Coach's order for the bulking. Stephen heard about it through Robbie and offered to help."
The group looked at Stephen. He shrugged. "Hey, some people like to help others achieve their goals."
"Or watch them eat." Pratt said, smirking. "Well, if you're going to help him bulk up, why don't you help us as well?"
Evans, Hemsworth and Tyler looked at him confused as Stephen's eyes went wide.
"You want me to help all three of you to bulk up? Don't you have trainers and nutritionists for that?"
"Like Clay here has some of his own and yet you're helping him." Pratt shot back.
"Yeah, but even if I wanted to, four guys is an awful lot for one guy to help." Stephen commented.
Pratt nodded. "That's true. What about you, Tyler? You going to keep up your superhero physique or just let loose with us?"
Tyler's eyes went wide and he went slack jawed. "Oh, um, I don't know. The thought hadn't even crossed my mind, to be honest."
"Of course it didn't." Evans said. "Okay, I've bulked up to play Captain America, but to intentionally bulk up when it's not needed?"
"Lighten up Chris," Pratt told Evans. "Trust me, when you just let go and not worry about all that, it's one of the greatest feelings in the world. Just try it once. You too Tyler. You can decide afterwards if it's for you."
Stephen, Clay, and Tyler pulled up chairs to join them.
The waitress cleared her throat. "I have no idea what that was about, but are you ready to order drinks?"
The group all placed their drinks. "And we'll all have the largest steaks you have. You guys want some time to look at the sides?" Pratt asked.
"8 oz. Sirloin for me. Plus the house salad and a baked potato." Stephen said. "So that's five of the largest steaks and an 8 oz. sirloin for me."
The others started to protest but Pratt and Stephen held up their hands. "Just let it go. Eat what you want and take the rest home. I'm personally going to enjoy it while it's fresh." Pratt said, leaning back and grinning.
The others mumbled some complaints but didn't put up any more arguments. Instead, they all just ordered their sides.
"Hey Stephen, you not letting go yourself?" Pratt asked.
"This is letting go for me. But I'm not really interested in getting bigger myself. I'm fine as I am. I'm just going to focus on helping you all loosen up." Stephen chuckled.
The group chatted until their food came out. It took three servers to bring everything out. The table was completely covered. Everyone chowed down. For the most part, the conversation continued but if anyone was talking to much, Pratt would tell them to focus on their food before it went cold. That was the majority of what Pratt said throughout the entire meal. Stephen ate his steak at a leisurely pace but he mainly focused on Clay, encouraging the football star to eat up and occasionally rubbing Clays abs to get a belch out and make space for more.
"Anyone save room for dessert?" the waitress asked, wheeling over the dessert cart.
"Slice of cheesecake for everyone. You too Stephen." Pratt said.
Everyone else groaned but took their slices.
"I'm stuffed." Tyler said. Evans moaned in agreement.
"Me too. Let's get out of here." Hemsworth said.
"You guys want to come over for lunch tomorrow?" Pratt asked the others. "Or if you had plans with Clay, maybe we could join you? You're welcome to come to Tyler." Pratt said.
"Sure. How about we..."
