Note: Written for twislash_100
Jasper's head snapped up from where he was fanning the rolling black smoke out of the oven when he heard the garage door raise. "Shit! Seth's home," he muttered. He fanned the stove a bit quicker with one hand and turned the water boiling over on the stove off with the other.
One would think that after 212 years he would have learned how to cook. Esme had tried, he had taken numerous classes, Seth had tried. The fact stood that Jasper just couldn't cook. But he had wanted this to be special for Seth, it was their 50th anniversary. Surely spaghetti and garlic bread, one of Seth's favorite meals, couldn't be that hard right? Wrong.
"Jazz? Why do I…" Seth's words trailed off as he came in from the garage. "Are you okay?"
Jasper looked over at his lover, a slightly ashamed look on his face. "I'm fine… but your dinner isn't."
"My dinner? Jazz, why did you try to fix me dinner? You know you can't cook," Seth stated as he grabbed a towel and pulled the burnt loaf of garlic bread from the oven. Setting the flat pan on the counter he turned the burning spaghetti sauce off.
"I wanted to surprise you love," Jasper replied stepping aside so Seth could see the dining room table that had been set for two, candles waiting to be lit. "Happy 50th anniversary?"
Seth stared at the table for a moment before he smiled. Stepping close he wrapped his arms around Jasper's waist and kissed his lips lightly. "Well… it's the thought that counts. Happy 50th love, I hope there are fifty more."
Jasper returned the smile and kissed Seth. "How can I make up this ruined dinner to you?"
"Promise not to cook again?"
Jasper laughed. "It's a promise."
