Body Language (MewGulf AU)

🌻Chapter 23

🌻

It took an hour to get to Gulf's house from the college. It was expensive living near the campus, so taking into consideration his parents financial situation, Gulf had settled on living somewhere cheaper.

When fifth period finished, it would be six o'clock, so he could expect Mew around seven. After he finished his laundry and chores, he went out shopping.

Gulf liked kiddy food, but Mew was the opposite. He liked Japanese food. He often ordered non-fatty dishes at the pubs he went to. Gulf knew that Mew liked fish more than meat, so he went to pick up some sashimi.

While out shopping, Gulf debated what to cook. It was the beginning of summer, so he wasn't sure what was in season. Steaming some asparagus and broccoli and serving it with some mayonnaise would go well with alcohol, and it was nutritious too. He had to be quick. Normally, men don't like too much vinegar in their side dishes, but both Mew and Gulf liked it. So he would try and use it. And for the sashimi, he would go to the fish market and ask them to choose a good fish for him. For the main dish, he would serve meat with potatoes.

He was enjoying thinking about all this. They had cooked for each other before, but Mew would go all out when he cooked. By comparison, when Gulf decided to leave home for studying, his mother had to teach him in a rush, so he could only really do the basics. Even so, Mew would always tell him it was delicious.

Today was the first time he was going to cook for Mew as a lover, so he was excited.

"I'm not expecting anything to come out of it though." He muttered to himself and continued shopping.

He wondered if he should smoke his meat. And what about powdered fish? Or maybe some Chinese-style fried rice would be better. But Mew liked noodles so...maybe soba noodles then?

Shopping for the one you love was exciting and pleasurable.

Gulf had a big smile on his face as he shopped.

He wanted to see Mew again as soon as he could.
