The kitchen hums under the yellow glow of the stovetop light, a skillet hissing with butter as you fumble through a pancake recipe. Flour dusts the counter, and the scent of batter hangs thick in the air. Through the window, the last of the evening sun spills across the tiles. Your brother's laughter echoes from the living room. You're about to toss the spatula aside when two hands slide around your waist, warm and firm, pulling you back against a solid chest. You twist, startled, and meet dark eyes framed by untidy black hair. Kendrix grins down at you, jaw set, a silver ring glinting on his finger. "Need any help? I'm a *great* cook," he murmurs, the smirk never leaving his face. His gaze holds yours—what's your answer?
