A Chance Encounter (Chris Hemsworth X OMC)

A Visit

"I figured we've had steak and seafood so I thought we'd do something different," Chris explained as he stood at the island in the kitchen. "You're sure you don't mind having a little meat?"

Wyatt leaned across the island to kiss him. When he drew back, he smiled. "That's a silly question."

Chris laughed softly and then pulled him back in for another kiss. "For dinner, I mean."

"Yes, I'm sure I don't mind. I told you I can be flexible."

"I promise to make a lot of veggie sides for you though," Chris said.

Wyatt rubbed his hands together. "Alright. So what are you making?"

Chris moved to the refrigerator and removed some chicken breasts. "In Australia we really like chicken parmigiana."

Wyatt tilted his head. "An Italian dish?"

"Oh, yeah. We love it in Australia. Every pub serves it." He paused and smiled. "Actually, we could do a vegetarian version with eggplant."

Wyatt smiled at Chris's thoughtfulness. "I think there's some eggplants at the other house."

"Honey, darling, dear?" Allie said as she leaned over the counter. "If you want an eggplant there's a perfectly good one next door. An Australian one?"

Wyatt rolled his eyes as he retrieved the eggplants and turned around. "He's making me dinner. And he wanted to make sure I had a vegetarian option."

"That is so sweet," Allie gushed. "He's making you dinner?"

"Tonight. Tomorrow it's my turn," Wyatt explained as he tossed an eggplant up and caught it.

"You're so good at catching eggplants," Allie teased.

"I'll have put that on my resume."

Chris was in the middle of hammering the chicken breasts when his phone rang again. This time he looked at the screen and saw that it was Liam again. He was FaceTiming him.

"Yo! Is that the new Thor hammer?" Liam quipped as he watched Chris as he continued to flatten the chicken. "You cooking dinner for your new lady?"

Chris smiled and reached for the seasonings and bread crumbs. "Yes. I'm making dinner."

"What's her name?"

Chris grinned and shook his head. "All in good time."

"You're killing me..."

A door opened and shut and Wyatt called out that he was back with the eggplants.

"Who's that?" Liam asked.

Chris hurriedly wiped his hands and snatched up the phone. "No one, I'll call later."

Chris had just finished hanging up when Wyatt walked into the kitchen. He'd heard Chris's goodbye to Liam. He looked down at the counter instead of at Chris.

"Hey," Chris said as he reached over and took Wyatt's hand. "Hey. Look at me."

Wyatt met his gaze.
