[M/N] usually made breakfast for them, cooking up any region cuisine from Mondstadt, to Inazuma or even some home dishes from Snezhnaya. He had visited many regions but stayed in Liyue for a calm life. Yes, some people were fishy and odd but loved the whole business atmosphere. His business especially is booming, lots of women who enjoyed his work and many men who come in to buy things for their wives. 

Not to mention sales from around Teyvet, and he would sell to everyone. No matter their line of work.

He would have clients over, the most expensive clients over for dinner, and made dishes from their homeland. [M/N] didn't mind coming off a bit of a kiss ass but he enjoyed it, cooking. Besides, he rather cooks every day than have Ajax cook at all.

Being a lone wolf, preferably working alone, meant he cooked what he ate for himself on commissions or missions in general out of the city. Though, when they did share a meal that Ajax made, it came out burnt or half-cooked, or raw at times. So [M/N] took it upon himself, to do this simple domestic chore, not that he minded.

Though, today was one of those days that [M/N] was late to work, and would be staying later than usual. So he didn't make breakfast for them to share, so Ajax took it upon himself as a loyal and handsome husband to make it. Though, he had a hard time reading and following instructions for a dish...his own homeland dish.

Snezhnaya breakfast pudding, like his mother, used to make for him as a child.

Ajax pouts as he leans on the counter, reading over the messy handwriting of his great-grandmother. He never knew her, but she had hella of a messy writer. 

Ajax, I've been making this dish since I was a little girl, how horrible that you couldn't make this for your husband. How cruel!

He could hear the disappointment in his mother's tone, then it shifted to his lovely husband. Hmph! I think we should get a divorce, making me cook all the dishes and the housework! Maybe I should leave and marry Mr.Zhongli!

" No, he wouldn't! He's been waiting for me since we were eight years old." Ajax said to himself, disagreeing as he pulled out a bowl, after starting the oven so it could cook properly. He looked at the ingredients for one moment and tighten the blue frilly apron around his waist as a look of sheer determination covered his face. " I will do this! I'm the eleven Harbinger for archon sakes."

Ajax broke the eggs and many pieces of white shells fell into the bowl. Ajax's eyes stared down and inhale sharply. "Anything for my любовь моя."

MEANWHILE

[M/N] sat in his office, working on the floral design that he received a few days ago for a young lady's wedding. The date was set for another few weeks but she wanted a beautiful dress, long and flowy, with some extra details that she wanted. He almost finished the project but wanted to add new flowers and butterflies, which she insisted into her dress which bothers her traditional father.

They had an argument in the shop, which he calmed down in minutes. Though the father was the worst father-zilla he had in a long while. Moving his eyes on the fabric he was sewing by hand, keeping the butterflies a few inches within each other before putting the needle down when hearing the panicked voice of one of his assistants of the shop.

"Sir Tartaglia, please wait!"

"MY LOVE!" 

Ajax practically slammed the door open with his hip, wearing a slightly dirtied apron and flour on his cheeks. He beams happily as [M/N] placed the food down on the desk, avoiding any papers or fabrics. "I know you made a pass on breakfast this morning, so I, decided to come with some breakfast pudding!"

[M/N] smiles but looked to the oddly darken brown dessert? Bread pudding? Though it did gave odd some ominous feeling. The more he stared at it, the more lines of evil appeared on it, maybe he should get Chongyun to bless it?

"Stop staring and eat some of it!" Ajax insisted and [M/N] glanced at his husband than to the dish before shifting his gaze out the window. 

"I can't."

"Eh? Why not?"

"It's a breakfast dish, and it would ruin my appetite if I were to eat it now." [M/N] said, as he saw the lanterns in the street began to light up. " Besides, some Crystal Shrimp sounds good."

Ajax pouts before checking out the window, the sun was gone and the moon was slowly rising. Just how long was he locked away in the house cooking? Then the mess he needed to clean up before morning. That would take most of his sleeping time. "...You're right, we should go out to eat.."

"Don't worry, 向日葵." [M/N] cooed a bit as he grasped Ajax's hands in his. He smiled lovingly to the Harbinger and pecked his lips. " We can eat this...in the morning after I adjust it." Ajax whines a bit as he slumped his shoulders. 

"At least you didn't call it disgusting."

With that, the two head off as the assistance of [M/N]'s workers throw the horrid burnt pie or cake into the garbage. Not reacting when a rat dove in and died within seconds of bitting into the odd-looking pie.

They ignored it as they watched their boss happily walked out the door with his redheaded husband, both talking about their day until Ajax brought up something about a weapon sale by the docks and [M/N] saying they should check it out.
