⋮ ۩ ) • • • The idea of teasing Samuel had been at the tip of his tongue however he thought better of it. He knew Samuel had tried his best to learn new things in the year that he was gone. Micha couldn't blame Samuel for not knowing how to reheat an omelet. Although the least he could do was help. After all it was kind of his fault they had cold food.

Questioning Samuel, he watched as he blushed, agreeing to his suggestion. Micha smiled, as he moved to find a skillet in the cabinet by the stove. He set it on the stove then went to the fridge to find some dairy free butter. Micha opened the fridge, finding the butter on the second shelf in a small container. He closed the fridge, returning to the stove, setting the butter on the counter. Micha moved toward one of the drawers to find a spatula and knife.

He turned the stove on low as he opened the container of butter. Micha used the knife to dollop out a small table spoon and drop it into the frying pan. He closed the container and returned it to the fridge. Micha grabbed the spatula moving the butter around the pan to coat it. Once the butter was melted he grabbed the container with the omelet in it.

Micha used the spatula to scoop the omelet out of the tray and into the frying pan. He set the container aside as he turned his attention to heating up the omelet so it didn't burn.

Standing there, he felt embarrassed but he had no reason to refuse. Even if he did, he still would have taken his offer. By refusing, it would likely only give Micha more reason to tease him later. As Samuel agreed, he watched as Micha smiled and slipped out his chair to come around the counter. Stepping aside, he took some amusement out of how at home Micha seemed to be in his kitchen. Without even needing to ask him, he was able to find everything he needed. It wasn't long before Micha had everything that was needed and was turning on the stove.

Samuel stood off to the side, watching the male go about prepping the pan and moving about the kitchen. It all seemed easy enough, like something he might have been able to have figured out on his own if he'd tried. However, he found that he liked watching much more than actually doing. Plus, it was probably safer to allow Micha to take control. Samuel knew that eventually he would have to crack down and learn how to cook more than just boiled water and scrambled eggs. Especially if they were going to live together. Micha might take pity on him now, but after a few years he would probably get tired of cooking all the time.

Beside him the male passed him once more to take his omelet out of the box. Samuel watched curiously as Micha carefully scooped it out and set into the pan. He didn't think there was much else needed of him, just his appetite and patience. "Anything I can do while you cook?" he asked curiously.

⋮ ۩ ) • • • Not much had moved in the kitchen since he had cooked in it last. He remembered previously struggling to find things however now not so much. It wasn't the first time he'd cooked either in the kitchen. Micha had made a few meals earlier in the relationship. The idea of cooking for Samuel didn't bother him. He enjoyed it, making something and spending time with Samuel even if he had no idea what he was doing.

Feeling Samuel's eyes on him, he found it amusing. Micha soon heard him question him. He glanced toward Samuel, smiling at him. ”Mm, maybe you could get drinks and set the dining room table?” Micha commented, giving Samuel a task. He didn't want to sit in the kitchen as they usually did. While the dining room was large, he found it might be more appropriate.

In the time they were apart, the kitchen was one of the few rooms Samuel had not bothered to rearrange. Mostly out of laziness. The idea of switching out all the cabinets and reorganizing the pantry just sounded like more work than it was worth. Watching Micha now, he was glad that he didn't bother rearranging. If he had, he wasn't sure if he would be nearly so helpful. All the same, Samuel was glad that Micha was willing to cook for him. He enjoyed his food and spending time with him in the kitchen.

Standing off to the side Samuel worried that he might be hovering a bit too much. He wanted something to do and not be in the way. As he questioned Micha, he watched as he smiled and glanced his way before answer. "Sure, I can do that." he replied, smiling back at him. "Is there anything in particular you want to drink?" he asked. Eating in the dining room was a bit rare for them, he could probably count on one hand just how many times they gone in there. He didn't care how large the table was or that it was only the two of them. It would make for a nice change of scenery.

⋮ ۩ ) • • • The idea of making more meals together interested him. He enjoyed going out for dinner but it wasn't the same as a home cooked meal. Micha hadn't cooked a lot for himself after all it was sad to make a meal for one previously. He wanted to do more domesticated things for Samuel especially in the future.

Micha was hardly bothered by Samuel's hovering. He was used to it after all. While Samuel couldn't exactly help him with what he was doing, he offered a different task. Micha listened as Samuel questioned him. He knew it probably seemed odd to sit in the dining room but he thought it might be more enjoyable. ”Probably some more coffee.” The idea of milk sounded better with his pancakes but knew Samuel wasn't likely to have any.

Samuel liked the idea of being able to make more meals together. Most days, he didn't mind going out to eat or ordering them some take-out, but he also couldn't argue that home meals were sometimes better. Samuel wasn't sure how much help he might be, perhaps he would be able to learn a thing or two from Micha. Or better yet, they could try out some new recipes together. He too wouldn't mind doing more domestic things with Micha. It made sense seeing as they were already talking about living together and sharing their lives.

Standing beside the male he couldn't help wanting to have something to do. Upon asking, he was soon given a task. He knew that there wasn't much he could do in the way of cooking, so he didn't mind helping out elsewhere. Asking about drinks, Samuel nodded as the male soon replied. "On it." he said, leaning over to kiss Micha's cheek. Pulling away, Samuel moved across the kitchen to grab their mugs from earlier. He saw no reason to dirty up another pair. Coming back around the counter, he set one mug beneath the spout, and replaced the pod in the machine. While the coffee brewed, he took Micha's mug and moved towards the fridge. "What all did you have in your coffee?" he asked, reaching for the door.

⋮ ۩ ) • • • Giving Samuel a task, he watched as he nodded his head. Micha smiled as Samuel kissed his cheek before pulling away. He returned his attention to the omelet so it didn't burn. Micha flipped it carefully to the other side as he could see it was getting slightly brown. He heard noise behind him as Samuel gathered their coffee cups from earlier. Micha glanced as Samuel came beside him and went about emptying the machine and putting a new pod in it. He heard more movement as Samuel moved toward the fridge and opened it. Micha was soon questioned about what he wanted in his coffee. Such things never changed. ”Creamer and sugar.“ He responded toward Samuel. Micha looked over the omelet knowing it was almost done.

With a task given to him, Samuel set right to it, but not without showing a bit of affection first. As he left Micha to continue to prepare his food, Samuel gathered their mugs from earlier, and started making his coffee. While that was going, he then stepped over to the refrigerator to get the items needed for Micha own coffee. However, he wasn’t entirely sure what he put in it or how much he preferred. To him, it seemed like an ungodly amount. Though anything that wasn’t his usual black coffee, was too much in his unwanted opinion. Pulling back the door, Samuel didn’t have much in the way of variety, just what he kept in stock for his family. Wanting to be sure of what he was putting in his drink, he glanced over at Micha as he asked him. It wasn’t long before he was given an answer and nodded his head. ”Half a bottle of creamer and tablespoon of sugar.” He repeated. Reaching into the fridge Samuel took out the creamer and poured a small splash into the mug. ”How’s that?” he asked, tilting the mug towards Micha.

⋮ ۩ ) • • • Between the two of them, Micha's coffee could hardly be called coffee. He preferred his coffee sweet as compared to Samuel who liked his black. Micha would drink it black but didn't exactly like the bitter taste. He listened as Samuel went about going through the fridge to find what he was looking for. Micha heard him speak and shook his head mostly to himself. While he liked sweet, he didn't want a pound of sugar and cream and a tablespoon of coffee. He wasn't one of those Starbucks freaks either. Micha continued to monitor the omelet before he soon heard Samuel question him again. He glanced to see Samuel holding a mug out toward him. Micha reached out, taking the mug carefully from Samuel. He could see the coffee still steaming so he was tentative as he brought it to his lips. Micha took a sip, tasting the sweetness though it was still bitter. He didn't mind though as he smiled at Samuel. ”Good, thank you.” Micha responded as he set the mug down on the counter.

Turning his attention toward the omelet, he turned the burner off. Micha moved to the island to grab his pancakes he'd put onto a plate earlier. He made his way to the microwave and pushed the button to open the door. Micha slipped the plate inside and closed the door. He set the time for two minutes to heat up. Micha moved back toward the island as he grabbed the other empty plate Samuel had grabbed out. He turned toward the stove as he grabbed the spatula to carefully pick up the omelet and lay it out on the plate. Micha set the plate aside as along with the spatula. He reached for his coffee, taking another sip while he waited for the microwave to go off.

Samuel was hardly bothered by Micha’s coffee preference. Not everyone liked plain coffee the way he did, nor did he expect them to. Due to his own preference though he was a little unsure of what constituted as being too much. While Micha continued to warm up his food, Samuel playfully repeated the words back to him. Reaching into the fridge, he pulled out the bottle of creamer and held the mug out for inspection. He was unsure if that was too much or too little. If anything, the coffee in the mug was just slightly paler than before, so there was at least that.

As he questioned Micha again, he watched as he soon took the mug from his hand and brought it to his lips. Samuel watched him take a small sip, before smiling. He couldn’t help to smile back as he was thanked. ”You’re welcome.” He then replied. Standing there, his own coffee continued to brew. While he waited on that, Samuel made sure to stay out of the way. He thought to set the table but there wasn’t really much to set, not yet anyway. The dishes were currently being used as Micha prepared the food, and he seemed content enough with his drink to keep it close by. The only thing left to set would be the silverware. He supposed he could dress it up a little with some of the cloth napkins his mother insisted that he keep stocked in the hutch.

⋮ ۩ ) • • • As Samuel had yet to set the table, their food was almost done. All he had to do was finish heating up his pancakes. He soon heard the microwave go off. Micha set his coffee down as he turned toward the microwave. He opened it as he pulled out the hot steaming plate carefully. Micha closed the door as he moved toward the island and set his plate down.

Grabbing the bag from earlier, he searched for his syrup to go with his pancakes. Micha found it as he opened the container and poured the sweet sticky stuff onto his pancakes. He moved to throw the empty container away as he turned his attention to Samuel. ”Alright, foods ready.” Micha responded as he grabbed his plate and moved to pick up his coffee cup. He started around the island to head out of the kitchen to the dining room.

Samuel had meant to set the table, but had busied himself with questions and coffee that he just never got around to it. Not only that, he couldn't exactly take the plates away as Micha had been using them. Waiting for his own coffee to finish, he stood aside while the male continued making their meals. It didn't take very long before the microwave cycled off and the steaming cakes were removed. Samuel had to admit, they smelt rather good. He was tempted to ask for a bite later, but would wait until they were sitting down and well into the meal.

Behind him, his own coffee soon finished and Samuel carefully removed his steaming mug. He heard rustling at the counter and turned to see Micha pulling out the small containers with syrup. Removing the lid, he then drowned the stack to his liking and throwing away the empty container. Samuel smiled as Micha then declared that breakfast was ready. "Lead the way." he said, motioning forward. Picking up his own plate and cutlery, he followed the male out of the kitchen. Moving down the hallway, they made their way into the dining room.

Samuel flipped on the lights and was not surprised to see everything exactly as he left it. A white cotton runner stretched across the middle of the table and was decorated with seasonal flowers and tall candles sitting on brass candlesticks. Setting his things down first, Samuel then moved towards the hutch in the corner of the room. Pulling back the top right drawer, he pulled out two cloth napkins. Samuel hardly cared that his mother preferred they be used for a more special occasion. But she wasn't here and he saw no reason not to make use of them. Closing the drawer once more, Samuel returned to the table and handed a cloth to Micha. "Is there anything else you would like before I sit down?" he asked.
