Yesterday’s date had gone well, and last night was amazing. Just hanging out at Cutter’s, watching movies, eating junk food, and eventually falling asleep… it had been a simple yet perfect date. And Connor had been touched by how much Cutter had tried to make sure everything they did was something he would like and enjoy. That meant a lot to him, so when Connor awoke early that morning and saw Cutter still passed out in the bed next to him, he had an idea of how he could return the favor and do something special for Cutter now.

“Breakfast in bed,” he said to himself with a smile as he glanced back at Cutter. “Perfect!”

So, slipping out of bed as quietly as he could, Connor made his way to the kitchen. He examined the fridge and the cabinets for a couple of minutes. Cutter really did need to go shopping, and soon! But eventually, Connor found everything he needed, at least he thought so…he’d never tried to make pancakes before, but really how hard could it be?

And so he started pulling out mixing bowls and random measuring cups and gathered up the ingredients and got to work. It…. was not going as well as he had hoped. A couple of the eggs ended up cracking when they hit the floor. There was flour everywhere, which meant when Connor went into the living room to get his phone to look something up, he accidentally tracked flour all over the carpet. He forgot to use the cooking spray with the first batch he tried to make, and so they had ended up more burnt than anything. And honestly, he was not exactly being stealthy about the process easier, his usual klutziness coming into play at least a couple of times.

“Ok, this is good… this is fine… I can work with this…”Connor was muttering to himself as he tried to clean up the batter that had spilled out of the bowl just then as he started the next batch of what he hoped would be edible pancakes.

Cutter locked eyes with Connor and tried to look innocent but he started giggling again, "just trying to be helpful," he really, really wasn't.

From:

Connor didn't break that gaze as he reached over and grabbed one of the rags from beside him and tossed it at Cutter, a grin spreading across his face just then as he couldn't hold it back anymore and started to laugh as well.

From:

itsananomaly

"Hey, I didn't mean get it over me instead!" Cutter burst out laughing as the rag hit him and fell to the floor, he bent down to pick up and threw it back at Connor even though it was a very poor attempt at throwing.

From:

anomaly_research_nerd

Connor laughed and dodged the incoming rag bringing himself closer to Cutter as he did. Shifting back to his knees, he circled a finger, motioning for Cutter to come closer.

"You got a little something... right there.." he said with a vague wave toward Cutter's face.

From:

itsananomaly

Cutter grinned, moving closer to Connor and bent down to be eye level to him, "oh, what do I have on me?" he asked as he tried to follow the direction that Connor was pointing at his face to see if he could find what he was.

"Little something... right... there," Connor said reaching out his hand before leaning in and kissing Cutter instead.

From:

itsananomaly

Cutter did very much like this kind of helping and he happily leaned into the kiss, throwing his arms around Connor and forgot all about the cleaning that they were doing.

Funny how that worked.

Very odd how that worked. Total mystery. They just might have to count breakfast a loss at this rate and order something in. But that was a problem for later, right now... all Connor wanted to do was enjoy this kiss.

From:

itsananomaly

Cutter had completely forgotten about the food and his plan to salvage it so they could enjoy breakfast but like the narrative suggested that was a problem for a future Cutter and Connor and for now he wanted to enjoy this very nice kiss between them and keep it going as long as possible.

From:

anomaly_research_nerd

Connor likewise was in no hurry to end this. And to prove that point he wrapped his arms around Cutter, gently grabbing hold of the undershirt he was wearing and pulled him down closer.

From:

itsananomaly

Cutter was very happy to follow Connor's lead, welcoming his tight embrace and hungrily leaning into the kiss, this was definitely so much nicer than cleaning.

From:

anomaly_research_nerd

So much nicer.... though his knees were starting to protest the hard tile flooring a bit. Connor tried to ignore it and focused on the kiss, trying to shift slightly to get in a more comfortable position.

From:

itsananomaly

Cutter felt Connor trying to shift position and tried to adjust his position slightly so Connor would have an easier time to move, it was actually rather impressive how he managed to keep the kiss going while trying to do that.

From:

anomaly_research_nerd

Was very, very impressive. Connor gave a small contented sigh as he broke the kiss just long enough to take a deep, shuddering breath before whispering out Nick's name and going back in to continue the kiss. They would have to stop eventually... but Connor didn't want that to be any time soon.

From:

itsananomaly

It was rather annoying that breathing was a necessity wasn't it? When Connor broke the kiss long enough to breathe, Cutter took the opportunity to do the same, "I love you," he whispered softly, before leaning back into the kiss to keep it going as long as possible.

From:

anomaly_research_nerd

The kitchen really wasn't going to get cleaned anytime soon was it?

"We really... should... be getting... back... to the... cleaning..." Connor said between quick little kisses. He was trying. Failing. But trying at least!

From:

itsananomaly

"Mmmm...?" Cutter blinked distractedly in between those kisses, "oh right cleaning, we really should, shouldn't we? Don't want all that batter mix to get stuck right?"

Cutter was making no move to stop though, funny that.

From:

anomaly_research_nerd

It was probably a poor indication that Connor was trying to be the responsible one just then... Trying was the key word there as he still was barely making any progress to actually getting them back focused on the task at hand.

From:

itsananomaly

Cutter was a terrible influence and made very poor decisions so it was a good thing that someone was actually trying to be a responsible adult.

Note he was still not making any effort to stop and get back to the task at hand, kissing Connor was oh so very nice and he didn't want it to stop.

From:

anomaly_research_nerd

"How about a compromise? We stop ths for now. Get the kitchen cleaned up. Then we can continue this someplace a little more comfortable?' Connor asked between kisses.

From:

itsananomaly

"That sounds fair," Cutter admitted, however reluctantly, "I suppose the kitchen isn't going to clean itself and the floor isn't the most comfortable of places," he said with a slight grin as he got in a few more kisses.

From:

anomaly_research_nerd

Connor grinned, running a had up to run cutters face gently.

"Ill be sure to make it worth it" he said with a wink.

From:

itsananomaly

Cutter flushed slightly at Connor’s gentle touch and he smiled warmly, “oh is that a promise?”

From:

anomaly_research_nerd

"Always," Connor said softly, returning the smile.

From:

itsananomaly

“Then I’m looking forward to it,” Cutter said warmly, taking one more opportunity to smile at Connor, give him another quick kiss and then reluctantly stood up, extending his hand over to Connor to help him up.
