Eddward tossed his keys on the table adjacent to the front door.
After a long day of work, the raven-haired man wanted nothing more than to kick his shoes off and crawl into the bed. Working from sunup to sundown was slowly, but surely, putting a toll on his body; however, knowing Eddward, he would never admit it. Not to mention after the sudden chaos his life was thrown into: a sudden job change, promotion, and relocation; Eddward could barely keep it up.
Walking down the hallway towards the master bedroom, Eddward stopped and smelled the air for the first time. It smelled like Italy. Smiling, he made a beeline for the kitchen. The closer he got, the more heavenly the air smelled, making his mouth water and stomach grumbled. It was then that he wished he didn't skip lunch.
"It smells good in here," Eddward hummed as he walked into the kitchen.
Standing over the stove, Kevin stood with a wooden spoon in hand and bottle of wine in the other, slowly pouring the contents into the pan. Kevin chuckled and looked over his shoulder, smiling at Eddward.
"Oh…" He trailed off, checking Eddward out from head to toe. It was the same ensemble the raven-haired man wore every day: dress pants, dress shirt, tie, etc.; however, it was enough to make Kevin's face heat up. Eddward was a sharp dressed man, anyone would admit that, but for those who didn't, Kevin would call them a fool. "Does my husband know you're here?" Kevin winked.
Turning the burner down on low, Kevin stepped away from the stove and crossed the kitchen, picking up two wine glasses and a bottle of 96' Château Latour. Kevin reached out and took Eddward's hand in his own, placing a small kiss on his knuckles before stealing one from his lips. Eddward tasted of lavender. The kiss was short and sweet but the passion behind it was enough to make Eddward's heart race and his mind to fog.
"No," Eddward chuckled as he pulled away from Kevin.
"Then," Kevin began as he poured him and Eddward a glass of wine. "I'll guess we will have to keep it a secret then," he whispered. Eddward laughed and took a sip of the wine. Kevin smiled and engulfed Eddward in his arms, twirling him around the kitchen until his body sat perfectly between his own. "How was work?"
"Work was work, you know?" Eddward humped his shoulders. Kevin nodded and placed a quick kiss on Eddward's chin. "Nothing too exciting." Kevin hummed as he reached over and stirred the food on the table.
"Well," Kevin said assuredly. "I am confident that whatever was thrown your way, the Chief of Neuro was able to handle it." Eddward snorted and pushed Kevin's face away. Picking up the spoon, Eddward tasted the food and all but moaned. He would never understand where Kevin's ability for cooking came from. It was as if it was a natural instinct. Kevin was able to cook anything whereas Eddward could simply burn water.
"What's for dinner?" Eddward asked, inhaling the food on the stove, not even caring if it was burning his throat.
"Nothing if you keep eating like that." Kevin took the spoon from Eddward and placed it on the counter. Eddward laughed and turned to face Kevin. Eddward smiled, committing those green eyes to memory once again. It was one of the first things that made Eddward actually stop and consider dating the redhead. His eyes shine like emeralds and if he was to be completely honest, Eddward never seen anything more beautiful in his life.
He was lucky.
Kevin leaned down and captured Eddward's lips with his once more.
"Happy anniversary, babe," Kevin said between kisses with his words coming out a bit rushed in between breaths. "I love you."
Eddward smiled and kissed Kevin back.
"I love you too."
