It's a Date

[Nox]

Elyse left him alone in the kitchen and Nox started searching her kitchen for the things he needed. But his thoughts wandered from the hunt to the brief kiss he'd given her. Fuck! What the hell am I doing?

But the kiss felt good and she hadn't pulled away anymore than he had. But he had other things to worry about. Nox chopped up the yams, carrots, potatoes and squash he'd bought from the market and put them on a pan with olive oil, garlic and a little salt and through them in the oven while he prepared the chicken. He intended to have a garlic and white wine sauce. He poured a glass of wine for himself too, and set aside another glass for Elyse. He wasn't a wine guy, but it was a special occasion.

The thought set his nerves on edge again. He heard the water turn off and poured the second glass of wine and waited for the little wolf, he grinned at the thought, she joined him in the kitchen praising the smell.

He grinned at her and handed her the glass of wine. "Almost done."


Nox could feel her eyes on him as he moved around her kitchen finishing up the last bit of cooking. The chicken was smelling divine as he plated it and set the remaining sauce in the pan aside for when everything was on the plate.

The timer went off as he set the plates near the oven and pulled out the hot pan and separated the vegetables on to two plates next to the chicken. Pouring the remaining sauce over top of both. It wasn't his go to meal, but it was impressive enough. And he'd never had any complaints before. Aurora was a better cook, and he could feel the wave of grief that washed over him. "Let's eat."
Nox could feel the nervousness washing over him again. What the hell was he doing?
