"Loves? I'll go live in 2 minutes! Everyone is excited, so be on your best behaviour" Scott spoke up when he entered the kitchen. "Where's Avi?"

"Getting ingredients from the pantry..." Mitch replied while he was wiping down the counter, just to make sure that it was spotless for the livestream.

"I'm right here" Avi came into the kitchen carrying a carton of spaghetti and some onions. "Here and ready to go" Avi pointed out.

"Wonderful. I'll start the stream and we'll see what we can get up to" Scott said and grabbed his phone. "Here we go." He smiled brightly when he started the screen. "Hello hello" he said. "Are we live? Is anyone here? Hi, it's Avi, Mitch and Scott, live from the kitchen." He waited for a moment for the number of views to go up before he talked again. "So... we decided to cook today or rather my boyfriends are cooking while I am talking to you and forwarding your questions to them. What are we having tonight anyway?" 

He changed the the camera mode and filmed his boyfriends. 

"Hi" Avi said. "We are having pasta tonight. Very simple. And if you happen to have some pasta, canned tomatoes and leftover veggies at home you can cook it, too" Avi explained. "For us today there will be some zucchini, carrots, bell peppers and leek. And of course some onions and garlic. At first, we need to cut up everything, but Mitchy will help me while Scott keeps everyone entertained."

"Just the way it usually is" Mitch added with a smirk on his face as he started to peel and cut the carrots.

Scott turned the front camera on again and found an angle which ensured that he and his boyfriends at last partly visible. "He's not wrong. I usually am the one who doesn't participate in cooking. I can feed myself and the boyfriends, but it's just not as good as Avi's food. You could give us the same ingredients and a recipe, Avi's food would be better. I don't know why." He shrugged his shoulders. 

"Amore" Mitch said with a slightly exaggerated Italian accent. 

"I've got a lot of amore for you, too" Scott joked back. "Anyway... while these two are cutting, how about some questions. What do you want to know? AnnaPTX wants to know how we are feeling about being quarantined together. I am thankful" Scott said. "I know that even though we are quarantined just like everyone else is at the moment, we are not alone. I could not imagine sitting here alone without these two." 

"I definitely agree" Mitch said. "And while we definitely spend a lot of time apart from each other, it is good to know that we're not alone. Also knowing that they're around kind of drives me to do stuff. Like when I feel like staying in bed all day they try to motivate me to at least take a shower." He chuckled. "But seriously, I get that the current situation might be hard on some of you guys and it is okay to struggle. You don't have to use all this free time you got wisely. Watch movies, sleep more, read, play games. Not everything is about efficiency. Your health, both physical and mental comes first." 

"You said that wonderfully, Mitch. I don't have anything to add" Avi pointed out. 

Scott smiled fondly. "Okay, next question: Any new hobbies you started during lockdown?"

"Yes, actually I started one today. Avi started to teach me how to play the guitar. It's hard work but a lot of fun, too" Mitch said.

"Oh Mitch is a natural" Avi said. "I am in the garden a lot. But it's not a new hobby, it's just something I have always enjoyed and right now I just have so much time on my hand. And it is very calming. How about you, Scott?"

"I... am making a lot of music right now and I am facetiming a lot, too" the blonde explained. "But I didn't start on any new hobby, for me it's rather about finding time for myself rather than starting something new. Uuuh, the next one is interesting: Frida and her boyfriend are isolated together and she wants to know if we have any recommendations on how to be home alone together for such a long time. Errrm... I don't know. I don't know you, Frida and your boyfriend, but what is important in any case is communication. Sit down and talk to one another. Anything from you?"
