"D'you mind just sitting on the counter across from me?" Adrien grabbed some plates so Alex wouldn't have to search around for them and then started rifling through one of the cabinets until he'd found a couple different pill bottles. "It's more fun to eat like that, plus we don't have to leave the kitchen."
"Sure, I don't mind." In a couple more minutes, the food was completed and he took the plates that Adrien had left out, placing the human's omelet on his plate before handing it to him. The walker placed his own food on the other turning off the stove.
Adrien hopped up onto the counter beside the stove, gesturing at the island so Alex would know where to sit. "This looks really good, thanks. Whenever I cook eggs they always come out really shitty."
"Practice makes perfect or close to it." He replied, sitting up onto the island, "I've cooked them way too many times in my life." He took a bite, actually surprised it tasted pretty good since he used a different stove top then he usually would.
Adrien cut off a cautious little bite and then, once he'd decided Alex wasn't one of those people who turned everything they cooked into poison, he dug in. The omelet was gone in the span of five minutes. "Yeah, and apparently you're pretty good at it! How come you never told me you could cook?"
Alex shrugged a shoulder, finishing off his own omelet and the bacon and sausages shortly after Adrien, "I didn't think it was important. Considering there are more important things we need to focus on, me cooking is not important info."
"Pretty important information for me." Adrien took a sip of coffee and then cracked open the pill bottles, taking two from each before he tossed them back into the cabinet. "I never used to have the energy to cook, so now it's like… number one on the list of things I need a boyfriend to be able to do."
Alex raised a brow, blushing a very light shade of pink, "Boyfriend?" They'd hadn't had time to put a label on what exactly the two of them were, but saying the word out loud made things all the more real.
Adrien ducked his head at the question, shrugging lightly. "I mean, we don't have to be. If you just wanna do a friends with benefits thing, that's cool too, but…" He trailed off with another sharp shrug. "I dunno, I guess I was just hoping that was the way this could go?"
Alex smiled, hopping off of the counter to lean over to Adrien and peck him on the lips, "Boyfriends it is then," He smiled, "And as your new boyfriend, I'm telling you to clean up since I made breakfast for you."
Adrien kissed him back, lighting up with a smile when Alex used the word boyfriend twice. He knew they'd already been something before, but having a title made it seem so official. So incredibly sturdy, like they could turn this little snippet of happiness together into a whole relationship.
"And you say I'm bossy," he teased. He couldn't even force an edge into his tone, too happy to bother. "Will you dry if I wash?"
Alex sighed dramatically, pulling Adrien off the counter and pulling him into a tight hug, "I guess I'll dry then. But we have to hurry since you have training to do." He kissed Adrien on the side of the head, letting him go to find a cloth or a towel to dry the dishes with.
Adrien laughed and pecked him on the lips. "All in due time, big guy." He grabbed their plates, rinsing them off in the sink as he searched around for a sponge. "What're we even doing today? 'Cause I don't wanna be rude but that tornado thing was honestly kind of a disaster."
Alex sighed, leaning against the counter top and running a hand through his hair, "Well, I was thinking," He started, "We can't fight without a team of sorts, I guess, so we'll need allies, people we trust and are willing to help."
Adrien nodded, scrubbing a bit of egg yolk from one of the plates. "Makes sense I guess, but I'm pretty sure we're the two worst people in the world for it. I mean… you don't exactly play well with others, and I'm not really much of a people person, so I doubt we'll grow any sort of team fast."
"That's true. But I do have a… friend of sorts, who might be able to help us," Alex replied, "Although it would mean taking a two day trip off of Earth. She's… not the easiest woman to get a hold of. Good news is, the place we've gotta go to is a… resort… casino sort of thing."
Adrien laughed. "Oh boy, a casino? You do realize I'm too young to gamble, right?" He passed Alex a plate to dry, already thinking about all the fun they could get up to at a boujee gambling resort. "Are we gonna be drinking too? Am I gonna get to be your arm candy while you talk to wealthy socialites?"
"You're not to gamble where we're going," He sent Adrien a wink, taking the plate he was handed and starting to dry it, "And I mean you can drink, there aren't many strict rules there so you could. If you want to classify yourself as… arm candy? then sure, I guess."
Adrien laughed and leaned over to peck him on the cheek. "But sugarbear, I'm good at gambling. You have no idea how many pudding cups I won while I was still in the hospital; I was basically the king of cards." He finished washing another plate, handing it over. "And I'd love to be your arm candy, if you think I'm pretty enough."
"Fine, maybe you can have one game of cards but that's it, I don't want to fuel your addiction," He smiled, placing the previous plate down and taking the other, "I don't exactly know what arm candy is but you are extremely attractive so I'm sure you are."
Adrien blushed a little at the compliment, passing him an assortment of silverware and dirty cups. "Arm candy is like… a hot girl who hangs on your arm all night so you can make everyone jealous. Only I'm a guy, and I'm far from hot."
Alex rolled his eyes, pressing a kiss to the top of Adrien's head, "For starters you are hot, and second their are couple like us all over the universes, and well… you'll see when we get there, no ones going to give a damn that you're a dude, they're gonna care because I've got someone attractive by my side that they all want."
Adrien rolled his eyes right back, though he leaned into the kiss without complaint. "Yeah, yeah, I know. You think I'm the hottest guy this side of venus, I think I look like a birch tree with eyebags, it's an age-old dilemma that will never be solved 'cause we're both too stubborn to admit the other is right."
"At least we can agree on one thing then," Alex let out a light chuckle, turning his attention back to the dishes in front of him, "But anyway, if we manage to find and she helps us, we'll gather a ton more allies to help."
"Well we'd better get to training then, shouldn't we?" Adrien passed him the last dish and then drained the dregs from his coffee cup, washing that as well. "Don't wanna waste any more time than we have to." He gave Alex a smarmy grin.
