Summary
“Your first course,” Alex says, sliding a plate in front of him. Henry isn’t too sure where to look – the food looks great, sure, but Alex’s cheeks are slightly flushed from the heat of the kitchen and there’s the slightest bit of sweat on his neck and Henry wants to devour him.
Alex must notice him staring, because he’s smirking as he explains, “Taragai with a saffron gelée. I hope you like seafood, because that will be the focus of tonight’s tasting menu.”
Henry squints at his boyfriend, curious as to why he’s acting like he doesn’t know who Henry is, or like he doesn’t know that Henry loves seafood and it’s the one thing he can never seem to get right when he tries to cook it at home.
“Thank you?” He doesn’t mean for it to come out as a question, but he’s kind of distracted, okay?
[or: Henry loves to cook and somehow doesn't realize that Alex is a Michelin Star winning chef]
