"Stop that." he wined. He hand were delicately mixing the ingredients. He set the new liquid that he made, to boil. He left that there setting a metal timer. He started to cut up Bamboo and another vegetable that gave it the tug the dish needed to make it tastes so good. He felt the vibration on Jas's stomach smiling a little bit. "You sure are hungry. How about you grab a snack for now. It's not like you're doing anything. Unless you want to help me cut the meat and vegetables." Connor reach over to the meat that he pulled out of the freezer. He had left it out to began to soften. He touched it and nodded to himself. He started to cut it slowly and precisely.
Jas gave a little purr and sniffed at the various ingredients Connor had set out, finding them all intriguing. He glanced over at Connor and gave a lock on the cheek before gracefully jumping off and shifting back to normal. He rolled up his sleeves and started cutting the vegetables. He tried his best to make everything even but a few came out wonky and a bit too large. "How's this?" He asked, watching as Connor cut the meat
Connor looked over and tried to hold in a laugh. "You're doing better than I thought you were. I'll just them if I need to just keep cutting kitty." He kissed his cheek lovingly as he went back to cutting the mean. He hummed "Seven Nation Army" while he was doing so. He would nod his head lightly to the music playing inside his head. "Once the meat was cut he smiled before reaching under to get a pan. He put a bit of oil and seasoning on the chicken. His were not a sticky wet mess and he mixed the bits of chicken in. He made sure the stove was on under the pan before laying the meat on top. "That should do it. How are you making out over here?" He moved closer to Jas looking over at his handiwork.
"oh? And how badly did you originally think I was, love?" He asked with a grin, gently poking Connor's side with his free hand. He leaned into the gentle kiss, finding it adorable as Conner danced around to his own music. "You're too cute for your own good, you know that, right?" He murmured, eventually going back to cutting up the rest of the veggies for the ramen. "Good, I think, some if it is a bit wonky but not too bad." He replied, pressing a kiss to Connor's brow
Connor flinches when he felt a poke in his side only letting out a quiet giggle. "I thought you would've been way worse." he squeezed his eyes shut when Jas kissed his features. He analyzed the food he cut up. "It doesn't look awful…" he critiqued. "If it's really a problem I'll cut it into smaller pieces. We put these in at the end. "I appreciate you calling me cute, but I'm really not. I'm clumsy, I don't know when to shut up and stop talking, and I always say the wrong things at the wrong time," he admitted. "Sorry…" Connor went back to work going on to making the noddle portion.
"I'll take not awfully." Jas replied with satisfied grin, finishing off the list bit of his chopping and handing Connor the board. His eyes softened as Connor started to ramble, shaking his head slightly and gently cupping Connor's Chun between his pointed finger and thumb, forcing him to look at him. "You're right. You're far more than cute."he leaned in close "you're adorably clumsy. I love it when when you don't stop talking. And even when you think you've said too much, you always say the right things, even if it's not something I want to hear." He pressed a tender kiss to his lips, backing him against the counter away from the stove and pressing their bodies close together. "Don't you dare be sorry for being yourself, my heart. I love you exactly the way you are. Every flaw you may have is a perfection to me."
Connor was left speechless from the kiss, his word, his actions all of it. His heart was beating fast than it was before. Connor's breathing was out of sync while his eyes were staring right into Jas's. For some reason, he couldn't bring himself to look away. His hands were planted on Jas's chest while he made a deep gulp sound. His eyes kept shifting from his lips to his eyes. He felt shameful when he did something like that subconsciously. "I-I…um.." he tried to speak but he couldn't find the words. Instead, he just looked away at the miso soup. "You're so embarrassing when you say things like that." he mumbled.
"Im not the one embarrassed a, dearest creature?" He shrugged, stealing one more kiss from Connor before taking a step back so that they could finally finish dinner. "The only reason you are embarrassed is because I'm right." He gave a little wink and smirk and waved his hand at the veggies. "So where does this go?" He asked, taking a peek into the pot of boiling water. "Here? Or is this for the noodles?" He asked, taking a sniff and wrinkled his nose at the aromatic smells that drifted up from the pot
"I-It's for the noddles…" he tried to open the pack with steady hands but struggled slightly. Once he finally got it open he poured the noodles into the pot making a slight sizzling sound. He started to stir the noodles and after a while letting it sit so it could really soak up the flavor. "You're wrong by the way…" he mumbled. He was much too distracted with Jas here. He had to make sure the food didn't burn but Jas making all these comments and flirtatious remarks, caused him to be less cautious than he usually was. He hated it and loved it at the same time.
Jas sighed softly and set down the chopped veggies within reach. He gently wrapped his arms around Connor's form and rested his head against his shoulder. "I'm not." He insisted softly. "How long have we've known each other? I've seen the best and worsts of you, my love. And not once would I have ever turned my back on you. Even the life I was with Winston, if you really needed me we would have come." He pressed a gentle kiss to his temple. "I love you Connor." He let got after a few minutes and started finding bowls and spoons to see the table with
"I…" He stirred the noodles a little more before turning off the stove. "I love you too…" he mumbled the last part under his breath hoping Jas wouldn't hear it. He powered out the ramen into two separate bowls before he put veggies and seasoned things in the bowl. "Do-Do you want an egg to go with that?" He moved away from the table and rinsed the pot, cleaning up a bit before he walked back over to the table. "Or spice or anything?" Connor tried changing the subject.
Has glanced up, ears flicking to the sound of Connor's voice. "The egg is fine, no extra spice." He replied, wrickling his nose at even the mere thought if anything spicy. "He settled into one of the chairs, pulling bowl toards him and digging in with a pair of chopsticks, too impatient to wait for the egg. His eyes widened at how good the food tasted, always surprised whenever he tasted Connor's food "this is great love, and you made it look so easy." He curled up comfortably in his seat, bowl in hand as he contently slurped at the noodles and drank the warm broth.
Connor hummed. "Sometimes you eat like an animal you know that. I find it cute when you act like this." Connor took the fork from the bowl and started to eat the noodles like a normal person. He brought the noodles up to his lips blowing on them first before eating them. His stomach growled wanting more as soon as it entered his stomach. Even sometimes Connor was amazed by his own food. "This is amazing though. You helped don't forget that."
Jas covered a laugh as he chewed through another bite of noodles and meat. "Hush, I am not eating like an animal, I am simply enjoying your wonderful cooking to the fullest." He argued lightly, slurping up some of the delicious broth. "Yeah but I didn't actually cook anything. Just the prep work. You're the one who actually made this." He replied, finishing off the bowl of soup with a satisfying sigh
"You finished that way too quickly Kitty." He only shook his head finishing half the bowl of ramen. "In the meantime, since you finished so fast you can help clean up the kitchen. I think that's fair." He Connor gave a soft laugh before he continued eating. "If you want you can look and see if there are enough for seconds or go take a shower, either one works." Connor had his free hand pretending to play the piano, going over songs he memorized and some he was still learning.
Jas stood with the bowl in hand and walked over to the sink, stealing a quick kiss from Connor. "Thank you for dinner, dear. It was really good. I'll clean up while you finish up and shower." He smiled softly and went to go clean the dishes as well as put the extra ramen in Tupperware for tomorrow. He hummed softly as he worked around the kitchen, an older song he had always liked in his past life. "So what's for desert?" He asked, glancing over his shoulder to Connor
"Desert?" he questioned before swallowing the noodles still in his mouth. "You still want dessert?" He hummed in while he finished up his ramen with a nice sigh. Connor placed his bowel in the sink, leaning on Jas's shoulder. "Well, what do you want your dessert to me. I could order ice cream, maybe a pie, or an ice cream cake." He looked over his shoulder looking at Jas cleaning the dishes. "They tend to stain easily so make sure you really wash them," Connor instructed.
He laughed "yeah. I like desert." He gently pressed a kiss to Connor's head and nodded "anything you'd like love." He murmured, making sure to scrub at the dishes well to get out the stains. "I'm always down for some ice cream cake. Maybe a small one so it's not so much of a waste or takes up space in the fridge." He suggested, gently nudging Connor up so that he could dry his hands
"Okay then, Ice cream cake it is. How about you order it and I will go take a shower okay?" Connor kissed his cheek before moving towards the bathroom. He has opened the door seeing the fancy glass door he always saw when he took his showers. He turned on the hot water taking off his slightly damp clothes. He made sure to shut the door before fully stripping down and letting himself be taken away by the warm water.
Has gently nuzzled back "alright." Has finished cleaning the last of the dishes then was set if finding someone who actually delivered ice cream cakes. He eventually found a restaurant that did deliveries on most of their menue items, including a miniature chocolate icecream cake, usually for larger celebrations but Jas thought it'd be perfect. Once he ordered the cakes, Has sprawlt out on the couch to rest, soon, accidentally falling asleep.
Connor came out of the shower fully dressed and stretching out like a cat. "Hey kitty have you found a-" he looked over to the couch where Jas had looked like he fell asleep. Connor went quiet and tiptoes over to the sound sitting on the edge. He reaches over to Jas's hair combing it back softly with a giggle fallowing. He kissed his Kitty's forehead before giving a heavy sigh. "I can't believe like 2 weeks ago I was right you and cursing you out on the street every time I saw you. Now, I just kissed your forehead and you're sleeping on my couch. Time sure does fly by. Especially when you're having fun." Connor rubbed Jas's cheek gently with his thumb. "pst…no falling asleep, you said you wanted dessert." he whispered, give a soft kiss to his lips. It was longer than a peck but no longer than 10 seconds.
Jas slowly awoke, leaning into the gentle hand at his cheek. He hummed softly, blinking fully awake as Connor pressed a kiss to his lips. He mowed softly as Connor pulled away and slowly sat up. "Hm, I didn't mean to fall asleep, sorry dear." He muttered, gently wrapping his arms around Connor's waist and pulling him into his lap. "You smell nice." He murmured, nestling his head against Connor's neck. "Did the ice cream cakes come yet?" He asked, suddenly remembering he had ordered dessert. "Think I can squeeze in a shower before they arrive?"
He squeaked when he was moved onto Jas's lap unexpectedly. "I hate that you can do that and don't worry about it Kitty." he hummed when his neck was nuzzled. "Thank you, I think I smell nice too. I didn't know you ordered already though." He leaned into Jas's touch loving the warmth he felt even though he smelled like the great outdoors. "I think you have time to squeeze in a shower. I'll watch the door to make sure the cakes are picked up. You,however…" he ran his fingers through Jas's hair, stroking his head just the way Jas likes it. "…seem like you don't want to move, but you should because you do not smell that good."
He chuckled lightly "hush, you love my unsuspecting hugs." He teased, purring softly as Connor pet his hair, eyes fluttering shut and ears flattening. "No, I really don't." He replied, nuzzling Connor's cheek. "But someone is whining about my scent so I guess I have to." He wricklwd his nose and pressed a sweet kiss to Connor's cheek. "Alright, I'll be back soon." He promised, gently nusmdhing Connor onto the couch and standing up to go shower. "I'm using your soap by the way!" He called before finding his clothes from home and closing the bathroom door behind him.
"Have fun, but not too much fun! Make sure not to drop it!" he joked. He decided to tidy up a bit even though it was as tidy as can be. Soon enough the cakes came while Jas was still in the shower. He thanked the man leaving a tip before locking the door back. He was going to wait by the counter but instead, he decided to take the cakes to the balcony. He looked out into the night sky after setting the cakes don on the small table with two chairs. He looked out into the city, looking at all the bring lights. He started to hum a piano song that he loved to play called "Clair De lune" while he waited.
