Omelette three ways from the Fluffbruary fic Spicy Omelettes by @tj-dragonblade
This is a completely unplanned post but I had these omelettes on my list and I just realized it's TJ's birthday today. So we are having omelettes for dinner! There's still 20 minutes to midnight, so Happy birthday TJ!
Dream just loves it when Hob fusses over him, cooks for him, and feeds him!! Here he's trying the types of omelettes that Hob has lovingly prepared for him and then starts flirting, while Hob's brain has short circuited!
------------
Dream eyes the forkful of egg being offered to him, takes in the state of Hob's kitchen around them. Clearly he has interrupted a grand undertaking, but Hob is. As ever. Delighted by his presence.
Dream closes around the fork, slides the warm fluffy egg onto his tongue, intent on the flavor of it. It is simple, unadorned, shining for its lack of embellishment; Dream must concede. He is impressed.
"It is good," he pronounces, and Hob's expectantly-hopeful expression blossoms into a bright, pleased smile.
"Brilliant. That's the plain'n simple, just a touch of salt and pepper. Now. The next one—"
"You've got a clear preference for omelettes, haven't you? So I figure with a little testing I can whip up a 'Dreamlord Special' that'll knock your socks off, and then I can make it for you whenever you come 'round."
This one is bursting with subtle flavors, spices and vegetables that he does not bother to name for themselves, savoring instead the way they blend, the colorful interplay between them.
"Exquisite," he names it, and Hob grins, pleased.
Hob brings him a forkful of the third omelette, hand cupped beneath it as it passes Dream's lips.
This one is meatier, with sausage and mushroom, flavorful and robust. It is delicious; they have all been delicious, and Dream is. Awash in feelings, to be presented with this choice, to comprehend the care behind it.
"So? What do you think?"
"I would. Taste them again," he declares; and Hob brandishes the fork with a smile. But Dream reaches over, delicately plucks a chunk of egg with his fingers from the first pan, places it. Slowly, into his mouth, holding Hob's eyes all the while.
Hob goes. Very still.
[The flirting begins! 😂😂]
Hob tastes of. Scallions, green peppers, the salt of his cooking, the salt of his skin, and the want in Dream's belly grows insistent, hungry.
"That one," he pronounces, drawing Hob's fingers out of his mouth at last, "is my favorite." He does not release Hob's wrist.
----------
Hope you had a good birthday, TJ!
