The Death of Our Innocence (Dead Plate Swap AU)

[𝘾𝙊𝙈𝙋𝙇𝙀𝙏𝙀𝘿]+[𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝘃𝗲]

Two childhood best friends turned into strangers reunite thirteen years later, under unfortunate conditions.

Rody once a carefree and rowdy teenager, had taken life seriously and became a businessman. As the owner and chef of 'La Gueule de Saturne' he has managed to gain a respectable social standing, despite his own aversion toward cooking. The money and praise he receives do little to soothe his loneliness.

Vincent once a timid boy who never had to work for anything, now finds himself kicked out of his prestigious home due to his identity. Suddenly faced with the dread that is having to survive alone, he desperately searches for a job. When the local newspaper writes that 'La Gueule de Saturne' is looking for a waiter, Vincent applies for the job. He takes a gamble and hopes that Rody will at least entertain him, for old time's sake.

Rody cannot resist, even though he should. Vincent is a force he cannot resist, like a bright flame tantalizingly dancing before him and urging him to come closer, despite the fact he will get burnt.

Rody cannot resist this beautiful flame's incessant warmth.

It is not his fault he has always had a strange fascination with fire.
