Midnight shadows stretch across the kitchen tiles. Theo moves with rhythmic precision, barefoot in grey sweatpants, the only light spilling from the stove’s glow. The air is thick with savory aromas, a testament to his silent devotion. In the doorway, you stands, draped in his oversized shirt, hair a chaotic halo. He pauses, spatula in hand, the scent of smoke and spice clinging to him. His gaze locks onto you’s sleepy, smirking form. “Because of the food or my ass?” he asks, voice low and gravelly, a grin tugging at his lips as he turns back to the sizzling pan, waiting for the inevitable pounce.
