Daniel was in the kitchen, dropping his bags of groceries down onto the counter after exiting the garage. At the request of Alan, he was to prepare a dinner of his choosing as he had won their bet. While it had been on pause following the circumstances of the curse, they resumed after a few weeks only for Alan to win the bet effortlessly. As agreed upon, Daniel was to cook Alan dinner for an entire week. This was the first night and Alan requested a simple dish: Chicken Parmesan, which happened to be his favorite.

As he began to sort through the bags for ingredients, he heard his phone give a chime of "Kupo!" as he received a text message. He grabbed his phone off the counter, a smile coming to his face as he saw a text from Alan.

He's so sassy... Daniel thought to himself after he put his phone down, taking a moment to look at everything on his counter. "Well, let me get started."

-

"You're taking this quite seriously." Alan spoke as he watched Daniel place the strips of fresh pasta on a drying rack after he cut them.

"You said 'from scratch', so I'm just keeping up my end of the deal." Daniel answered with a smile as he placed the last strip down, before he moved over to check on the pasta sauce he had prepared earlier, seeing it simmer in the pot. He grabbed a ladle to taste it carefully, a pleased noise coming from him before he peeked into the oven to check on the chicken.

"Do you cook like this often?" Alan asked, his chin resting in the palms of his hands, giving Daniel his full attention as he sat on a barstool on the elaborate kitchen island.

"Only when requested, or I'm in the mood for something specific. I usually don't have a lot of time. But, since soccer season is done, I can do it easier."

"I should've asked for a whole month." Alan joked, a grin coming to his face.

"So greedy. I'd have to ask for something in exchange for all that work, regardless of the bet." Daniel returned the joke, taking a moment to start cleaning the area.

"Like what? I can't cook like you. Best I can do is make toast." Alan laughed.

"I'm not sure. I'd have to think of something." Daniel said with a shrug.

"I can only imagine, with you being such a gentleman." Alan teased, a smirk appearing not long after.

If you're imagining me making out with you on top of that counter, you'd be correct... Daniel thought to himself with an innocent smile as he washed a cutting board. "By the way Moogle, what did you bring over as a surprise?" he asked, curious.

"Oh, let me grab it from my bag..." Alan stated, climbing off the stool and walking over towards a tote bag near his backpack. He pulled out a small container and walked back to his seat, placing it down before opening it carefully.

Having finished cleaning for the moment as things continued cooking, Daniel walked over and took a look inside, before his eyes widened in surprise. "It's a cake!"

"Yeah... I made it. Well, my mom helped, to make sure I didn't screw it up." Alan stated, bashfully. A 2-layered chocolate cake rested inside, with a whipped chocolate frosting covering it entirely.

"You didn't have to make a cake, Moogle." Daniel spoke, surprised.

"It was the least I could do. Hell, I'd feel like an asshole if I didn't do something after watching you make this entire meal. Besides, your mom told me you like chocolate, and I wanted to make it." Alan admitted with a small smile.

"That's so nice of you, Moogle. I really want to try it."

"Hopefully it doesn't taste like trash." Alan grumbled, covering it back up carefully.

"I'm sure it will taste lovely." Daniel reassured him.

"If you say so..." Alan mumbled bashfully, a light blush coming to his face as he looked away.

He's so cute when he's embarrassed. It just makes me want to kiss his face... Daniel thought with a smile. And do so much more...

-

"I could... die happy... just kill me now." Alan spoke in a serene fashion as he leaned back into his seat.

"So, it tasted horrible, then?" Daniel asked with a grin, only to see Alan glare at him.

"It was AMAZING, you wombat!" Alan replied, only to hear Daniel laugh. "Dare I say, it's better than my mom's."

"Don't tell her that. I'd hate to give her a different impression than what she has of me now." Daniel replied with a laugh.

"True, those are fighting words." Alan joked, before he got to his feet. "Should we clean up? I can help."

"You don't want dessert?" Daniel asked, surprised.

"I figured we could clean and then have it after." Alan suggested, grabbing the dirty dishes.

"Ah, good idea." Daniel nodded, grabbing some things off the table as he followed Alan into the kitchen.

"Should I put these in the dishwasher?" Alan asked, holding up their stack of plates.

"Well... no, I'll wash them." Daniel hesitantly stated, only to see Alan frown in confusion. "My mom hates the dishwasher."

"Really? Why?" Alan asked, carefully placing the dishes in the sink.

"I have no clue. My dad insisted on getting one installed, while my mother protested it. She still doesn't use it and asks that we wash everything by hand." Daniel explained with a shrug, as he turned on the water and grabbed a bottle of dish soap.

"That's..." Alan stated, but wasn't sure what to say next.

"Weird?" Daniel added with a laugh. "I know, I said the same thing."

"Alright... I guess you wash, I dry?"

"That works. Let me get you an apron." Daniel stated, grabbing a dark blue apron from a hook on nearby wall.

"An apron? For washing dishes?" Alan asked, surprised.

"Otherwise, your clothes will get wet." Daniel explained, handing it to him.

"You mean you don't want to see me in a wet t-shirt?" Alan teased with a smirk as he placed it over his head.

I don't want to see you in anything at all. I'd rather just have you be dripping wet with nothing on instead..." Daniel mulled to himself, all the while giving Alan a grin. "That mind of yours is quite dirty, you know that?"

"You don't know the half of it..." Alan joked with a laugh. "Might be better off if you never did."

"How bad can it be?" Daniel asked with a smile.

"Let's not even go there. I could ruin this apron for you, and I'd rather not." Alan shook his head with a laugh.

It can't be as bad as me picturing you in nothing but the apron, sitting on the counter with that embarrassed face from earlier...

"If you say so, Moogle." Daniel stated with a laugh of his own.

-

"Did you make the icing yourself?" Daniel asked as he placed another forkful of cake into his mouth.

"Yes, is it bad?" Alan asked, watching Daniel eat a slice of cake nervously.

"No, it tastes great! It's very light, but has a good amount of chocolate in it." Daniel exclaimed happily. "It's good, you should have a piece."

"Ok, ok... I just didn't want to try any until you did." Alan stated, cutting a slice for himself and placing it on a plate. He grabbed a forkful for himself, before putting in his mouth. He blinked in surprise as he chewed. "It is good..."

"See? You did well, Moogle! Maybe you should bake more often." Daniel praised with a warm smile.

"I'm not going to push my luck." Alan said with a smile of his own. "Besides, my mother being there made it easy." He added, placing another piece in his mouth.

"Well, maybe we could make something together one day." Daniel suggested, before he chuckled softly.

"What?" Alan asked, puzzled.

"You... have icing..." Daniel stated, pointing at the corner of his lips. Alan had icing on the side of his mouth, which caught his attention.

Alan watched him, before laughing himself. "I can't even eat like a normal person." he joked, before a smirk came to his face. "You could've just removed it for me, you know."

"Oh, I can grab a napkin for you." Daniel stated, only to hear Alan laugh.

"Such a gentleman." Alan spoke. "It's fine, I can just lick it off..." he added, before attempting to do so, yet he still missed a part.

If you had asked me to, I would've licked it off for you. "You missed some..." Daniel spoke with a shake of his head. He's making it really hard not to...

"I did? Crap... just give me the napkin, since I fail at this too..." Alan stated with a laugh.

Instead of a napkin, Daniel moved closer, catching Alan off guard before he carefully grabbed Alan's face, leaned down and gently licked the rest of the icing off himself. He pulled back to see Alan staring, wide-eyed and red-faced. "Not there anymore, I got it." he stated with a smile.

Alan stared back at Daniel rather speechless, until he looked away nervously. "Y-you could've used a napkin!" he stammered quickly.

You damn liar. You know you liked that and wanted it. So, just tell me what you want next time...

"Is that what you wanted?" Daniel asked gently, as he studied Alan's face. He watched Alan's mouth open to speak, before closing quickly.

For all the teasing and joking he does, he surely makes it harder on himself when I call his bluff. Daniel observed silently, before speaking once again. "If I shouldn't have done that, then I'm sor-" Daniel stated, yet was caught off guard himself when Alan pulled him into a kiss, feeling Alan's tongue brush across his lips softly.

There he is... Sexy Moogle; his rarest form. He only comes out when you push the right buttons.

Daniel opened his mouth to allow Alan's tongue to intertwine with his own, his arms instinctively wrapping around the other's waist to pull him in closer. He felt Alan return the kiss deeply, his hands grasping onto his shoulders the longer they stayed together. After some time, Alan broke the kiss hesitantly, taking a moment to breathe. Daniel didn't stop however, moving forward to bite Alan's left ear gently. With that, Alan dug his nails into Daniel's shoulders and let out a loud moan. Daniel didn't expect the kind of reaction he got, completely taken aback by it and paused where he was.

What... was that? He thought, yet he got his answer when he felt Alan shiver not too long after, along with a growing bulge against his right thigh that happened to be resting in between Alan's legs. Ohhh... I found a new button...

"Alan..." Daniel spoke softly against his ear, feeling Alan's body tense slightly. "Are your ears... sensitive?"

There was a brief moment of silence between them, neither moving whatsoever as the question lingered in the air. There was a shift in body movement from Alan, as he turned his head away from Daniel slightly. "Yes..." Alan muttered very quietly, a look of complete embarrassment and redness covering his entire face.

Well, how interesting. I'm going to completely destroy him... Daniel thought to himself, not helping but to smile a bit before he placed a small kiss on Alan's cheek. "Good to know..." he stated quietly, before he trailed his tongue across Alan's right ear without warning. He heard Alan let out a moan once again, much more tame this time as he practically melted into Daniel's arms, barely able to stand up. He kept his thigh where it was, stabilizing Alan against it before he moved to lean Alan against the counter, placing his back against it as he continued to relentlessly lick and gently bite Alan's ear.

"D-Daniel... w-wait..." Alan forced out between gasps, moving his entire head away as he did so.

How about "no?" Daniel protested mentally, looking at Alan calmly, yet it took everything in him to not ignore his request when he saw his flushed and exasperated face. Christ, I could strip him naked right now. "What's wrong?"

"Look..." Alan stated, his voice shaking slightly as he did so. "If... if you keep that up... I'm not... not going to be able to... control myself..." he finished, his gaze completely averted from Daniel's.

Good, I don't want you to. That's the whole point of me attacking your ear. Daniel watched Alan carefully, trying not to push him too much. "What do you mean by that?" he asked. A few seconds later, he felt Alan's hips move forward, that same bulge now rather hard against his thigh. "Oh..." Daniel spoke softly as he looked down, rather intriguged.

"Let's just stop... we're in the kitchen..." Alan protested, trying to compose himself, yet he visibly jumped in surprise when he felt Daniel actually lift him off the floor and onto the counter top, kissing him once again.

Fuck that. You're not just going to get a hard on and expect me to stop. I'm going to make you so aroused that you can't think straight.

Daniel continued to make out with Alan while he sat on the counter, feeling Alan give in, his legs actually wrapping around Daniel's waist to pull him in closer. He used a hand to pull up Alan's shirt, traveling across his chest carefully, before it made its way back down towards the waistband of his jeans, unbuttoning them in a swift movement.

Alan broke the kiss once again, looking at Daniel intensely. "We are in the kitchen..." he protested, yet you could see the visible conflict on his face of wanting him to continue, but to also stop.

While normally he would've actually stopped, Daniel ignored his protest this time, only to lean forward and carefully bite Alan's left ear instead, hearing him cry out in shock.

"D-Daniel..." Alan forced out between moans, clinging onto Daniel's arms as his hips moved upwards towards his hand.

Daniel looked at Alan as he pulled away, seeing him look completely disheveled, but in a blissful way. My god, he's so damn sexy...

"Are you alright?" he asked, leaning over to give Alan a kiss.

"You... you did that on purpose, didn't you?" Alan asked between breaths, his eyes narrowed as he stared at Daniel.

With a rather complacent expression, Daniel looked Alan in the eyes, a rather warm smile on his face. "Of course I did, Moogle." At this answer, Alan's entire face turned bright red, his green eyes wide in shock.

Like clockwork, he's embarrassed once again. I love that face.

"W-what? Why?! Are you insane?! What if your parents walked in?!" Alan exclaimed in shock.

"They wouldn't have. They're at a conference this week and won't be back until Saturday morning." Daniel admitted, that smile slowly turning into a smirk. He watched Alan's expression turn from shock, to nervousness at that shift in his smile. "I wonder... how many places can we do this in the house before they come back?"
