Just a little slow burn story of Rody and Vincent. What if Vincent survived the fire?

What if in ending 1 of DeadPlate, Manon was actually alive? What if she purposefully ignored Rody's calls? What happened after Rody called her? This is an slow-burn story where Manon didn't actually die and lives as she proceeds to moved on from the situation she had with Rody, and where Vincent wouldn't be so psychotic. Rody's a wreck as he goes through series of negative emotions that fills his head, in which Vincent would help him, even if didn't like displaying vulnerability around anyone at all. Will Rody and Vincent become best friends? Enemies? Or lovers? -This is my first time making a story that isn't a oneshot, and I'm actually going to make this into a short series of mentally unstable Rody Lamoree and a less psychotic Vincent Charbonneau. This will probably be my practice story to help myself and get better in writing and in grammar. -Feel free to give any suggestions if you'd like me to add anything to the story! Just nothing weird or creepy. TW: Swearing, Smut [ART BY: rainny_leaf In X/Twitter] [Further TW's will be added soon into each chapters. I didn't exactly intent to add anything sexual, though... wouldn't that make the story much more engaging anyways?]

Recently, after Rody made a good amount of money he had quitted his job and only for Manon to not answer his phone calls.. He decided it was hopeless and start over and get over the fact that, Manon did not really like him. So he started a new life instead.. " ... Well- I wanna tell you something.. I-I.. wanna.. re-work... in the restaurant..?" ".. *sighs* Fine. But promise you'll tell me if you wanna quit. Good for you that the waiter's position is open and that other waiter was.. fired (dead). "Yay! I promise you! But I promise one thing I'll be early there!" "Right.." !! COMPLETED !!

"Chasing petty romances isn't the end-all be-all in life." Vincent was not a man who could easily be swindled with anything, especially not love. Love is not something he wishes to bother with. He already had everything he could've wanted. Fame as a chef, a world-renowned restaurant of his own, and a nice apartment on top of said restaurant. What more could he ask for? Well, it was possibly the attention of the stupid little brunet waiter that worked for him, and he didn't even know it yet. (Dead Plate, but what if Vincent was normal and didn't have psychopathic tendencies)

❝ "Putain d'enfer..." That was all the Chef could utter out before any other words he would've said were knocked out of his throat with The Waiter's lips- a kiss holding just as much swiftness, intensity, and desperation as the one he have Rody almost a month ago. Except the two differences. For one, it was Rody who was kissing him. And secondly- this time, Rody didn't pull back and run away like Vincent did. And neither did Vince. ❞ ↳ 𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡, she was gone. she was the one he thought he was waiting for all his life, and she was also the one who left too quickly. MarieAnne Vacher was gone. And so the Chef offers his condolences. Forming a close friendship was quick enough. What wasn't was their bewildering feelings they constantly found themselves questioning. Everything changed after a kiss. ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ The STUNNING cover is by the beautiful @Elle_Vares 💗 !!COVER ART BY kongze14 ON X!!
