[pats his head a little awkwardly.]

Are you in any condition to be making anything?

I've been fine.

...I'll be alright. I just need to focus on something else. [ anything else! anyone else? ]

[ he twists around and reaches up to gently cup noctua's face, aiming to drag him down for a chaste kiss. ] I want to make you something besides. Whatever you like. You've already done plenty for me.

[kisses him, warmer than his general vibe would suggest.]

Aren't you overstating the things I've done?

...not at all. I enjoy spending time in your company and you got my Vision back, something that meant a lot to me, and then... [ gives him another soft kiss. ] And Noctua has such a nice, tight asshole and big fucken dick~ how could I *not* love that about him~

[kisses him again just to shut him the fuck up, with a cranky noise.]

[ his laughter is muffled. ] ♥~ [ sits up and loops his arms around his neck. ] Let me cook something for you. I feel at ease in the kitchen and I want to spoil you.

...All right. Just don't hurt yourself, you drunk.

I'll be careful. [ turns into something akin to a hydro seelie and smushes himself up against diluc's face. he... can't talk now, but come on~ let's go back to cupcake! ]

[cute...

does his best not to react to WET SEELIETHING ON HIS FACE, but turns toward cupcake anyway.]

[ HE IS THE CUTEST. ]

[ blows bubbles and continues nudging him as they head to cupcake. once there he changes back and drags Noctua into the kitchen. grabbing an apron he puts it on, using it to cover his bloody front, and washes his hands before setting to raiding their cabinets and fridge to make something as close to a mondstadt specialty as it could possibly get. ]

[this is all so whirlwind, but-]

You really are comfortable in a kitchen.

Of course! I have a number of siblings, so I had to help out and make sure everybody had something to eat. [ his father was often sick too, so he wanted to help ease the burden his mom had to carry. ]

Aha.

[a complicated expression crosses his face at the mention of siblings, but he simply nods after a moment.]

I see.

[ lifts a brow, but keeps his mouth shut, and instead just passes diluc some food once he's finished. ]

And cooking and cleaning are monotonous enough that I can kind of lose myself in them, y'know, makes it easy to relax.

Mm, repetitive tasks are good for that. Thank you.

Exactly! And it's not like I can go ice fishing here, so this is the next best thing. Not to mention I get to watch you and everybody else enjoy the tasty stuff I've prepared. [ smiles, joining him at the table, but not before removing the apron and draping it over the back of his chair. ]

[ folds his arms on the table and rests his head on them, watching diluc in silence. ] ... [ after a moment, ] I think I may have pissed off your boyfriend... again.

[eating peacefully, but... sets down his fork.]

What happened?

I sent him a text asking if he'd like to drink with me. I... want to put what happened during that stupid board game behind me. I made the mistake of mentioning you, I guess, and he immediately declined.

Mm...

It's best to be stubborn with him. But I doubt he'd like the reasoning of doing it for me.

If you aren't already on good terms, inviting him somewhere isn't likely to get far.

But I'm not doing it for you? I mean, yeah, sure, it'd be nice to all get along, but he's interesting on his own...

Mm. [ starts messing around with the salt and pepper shakers. ] I guess I'll just leave it alone then. It's not like I didn't try.

Mm, so bringing me up would spook him.

He's a tough nut to crack. I wouldn't recommend getting offended by rejection from him.

[ shrugs. ] I'm not. Like I said, I tried, so... it is what it is. If he cares to try at any point, then ball's in his court. [ going to steal a bit of food from diluc's plate. ]

Waiting for him won't get you anywhere.

[reaching over to pat him.]

...so what do you suggest then?

...Give him a little time, then approach less straightforwardly. He won't come to you from a simple invitation, not when you're on bad terms.
