“you cooked me dinner?” (for alex & eliza ahhhh)
“i think attempted is a better assessment of the situation,” he winced, looking over at her from the sink where he was running water over the skillet to try to subdue the smoke that had inevitably filled the kitchen. eventually he let out a defeated sigh and left it abandoned in the sink. “i’m afraid that there isn’t much to salvage,” his voice sheepish as he turned to look over at her, his eyes immediately softening.
she will never not have this effect on him -- she warms his heart until it fills every single one of his veins and he’s just weak. she deserves things done for her, and alex has been in his own head for far too long to give her the things she deserves. this was a start -- a failed start, but a start nonetheless.
“it’s not too late to order out though -- what do you say?” he crossed the kitchen to her, taking her hands in his own as he smiled down. “or i could make pancakes. i couldn’t mess those up too much, right? actually -- no, let’s stick to ordering something, we shouldn’t risk it again.”
