General RP Damnit, He’s Hot! (Firestarter)

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin looks at Derek, biting his lip and then away. He shifts slightly and focuses on his food, taking a large bate so he couldn't speak.

Javi shrugs, "No, not much." He watches Kalin, snickering, "Looks like little brother's embarrassed."

Kalin glares at him, green gaze sharp.

 

[Firestarter]

Derek clears his throat softly and looks at Esmerelda, "So may I ask what you feel is the first and most important dish to learn how to cook?"

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Esmeralda thinks for a long moment, "Arroz." She nods, repeating herself. "Rice."

Kalin watches, silent for long moments.

 

[Firestarter]

Derek smiles, glancing at Kalin for a moment before looking at Esmerelda, "I usually can't cook rice to save my life, so learning how to do it properly would be amazing."

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin grumbles, looking mildly irritated.

Esmeralda smiles brightly, "That is fine. I will teach you."

Amaria laughs, "Oh, hell, everyone avoid the kitchen."

Javi laughs, taking a bite of his food.

 

[Firestarter]

"Thank you very much. It means a lot to me. I want to be able to provide Kalin similar meals to what you make so he feels more at home." Derek smiles and turns to look at Kalin, "Are you okay baby?"

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin waves his hand, "Nothing, babe. Nothing at all." He shoves another mouthful of food into his mouth.

Javi stares at Kalin and then looks at Derek, then back to Kalin.

 

[Firestarter]

Derek frowns a little before looking back up at Esmerelda, "I was wondering, what was Kalin's favorite food as a child?"

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin sighs, closing his eyes.

Esmeralda smiles, "Oh, the sweet boy loved--"

"Mama!" Kalin looks up after swallowing.

"Quesadilla's. Just the tortilla and cheese." She hums,looking at Kalin, "¿Si?"

Kalin sighs, shaking his head, "Never mind. . ."

 

[Firestarter]

Derek smiles ans tilts his head, feeling it probably wasn't true but happy regardless, "He's always been a cheese lover hasn't he?"

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Javi snickers, "I remeber that. He would run around one in each hand. He'd want another one and would throw a fit when the third quarter wouldn't fit in his hand."

Kalin huffs, "Nuh uh!"

Kalin's father laughs, "Oh,yes, you would demand I hold the other two quarters and follow you around while you are them."

 

[Firestarter]

Derek smiles and chuckles, "I could imagine him asking me to do that now, knowing that I probably would."

He turns to Kalin and gently brushes a thumb over Kalin's cheek.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin pulls away slightly, taking another bite of food.

Javi huffs, "Kalin,don't be a brat."

Kalin glares at him.

 

[Firestarter]

"No, it's okay. I tend to make mistakes like this a lot. I'm...still getting used to being in a serious relationship." Derek give Kalin a sad smile before taking a sip of his wine.

"Is there anything you guys would like to ask me?"

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin sighs and lightly touches Derek's arm for a long moment before going back to eating.

Javi shrugs.

Amaria looks up and smiles, "Oh, yes. What are all those. . . Rich people parties like?"

Kalin smirks, "Boring. I've been to one, and it was boring."

 

[Firestarter]

Derek nods and laughs just a little. "He's not lying. It's fun to get dressed up, but having to act all stuffy and act like nothing bothers you is a little much."

He glances at Kalin and bites the inside of his cheek, feeling like an ass for asking Esermelda about the food.

"I had to host a company party here once. Since the board of directors were attending, I had to keep everything extremely formal and wasn't even able to talk to my employees all that much."

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin sighs, hooking his foot around Derek's leg again.

Esmeralda hums, "Id love to see my baby all dressed up. For any occasion."

Amaria smiles slightly, "So. . . It's a bit fun and frustrating?"

Javi snickers, "A double edged sword.*

 

[Firestarter]

"That's an understatement. It's more fun for the guests that the hosts." Derek reachs under the table and lightly rubs Kalin's thigh.

"Maybe when the company Christmas party comes around you guys can come along?"

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin relaxes, taking Derek's hand in his own and holding it tightly under the table.

Amaria tilts her head, "That would be. . . Fun."

Kalin smiles, "It is fun, Amaria."

Javi tilts his head, "We wouldn't have anything to wear to it though."

 

[Firestarter]

"I would be more than happy to make sure everyone had something to wear. It would be my treat as a thank you for allowing me the honor of being with Kalin." He smiles at Kalin, wanting to spoil him and his family at least a little.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Javi snickers, "You mean horror." He ducks out of the way as Kalin's free hand swats at him, glaring. "Aye, I've seen your apartment! And your room at home, we shared it, remember?"

Amaria rollsher eyes and goes back to eating

"Javi, be nice to your brother!" Esmeralda scolds.

 

[Firestarter]

Derek laughs and shakes his head, "Kalin, you should respect your older brother. You know he loves you."

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin looks at Derek, lips parting, "How can you defend him?! He called me a horror!!"

 

[Firestarter]

"You know you're not a horror." Derek smiles and lightly pets Kalin's head while leaning closer

"But are you a messy little thing." He whispers playfully.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin flushes, squirming slightly and grumbles back, "Only after you make me so." He leans away, still grumbling.

Javi was laughing and shaking his head slightly.

 

[Firestarter]

Derek chuckles and winks at Kalin, "that's not what I meant, but if you say so."

He leans back in his chair and takes a sip if his wine.

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin rolls his eyes, "Whatever." He stands and stretches, archi g his back.

Javi rolls his eyes and pokes Kalin in he side,making him help.

Amaria snorts, "Boys."

 

[Firestarter]

Derek smiles and stands from the table as well, "I hope everyone enjoyed dinner as much as I did. Please feel free to continue eating and enjoying your time. The maids will help to clean up any mess. I think Kalin is ready for bed."

 

[RhysTheFirebird]

Kalin looks at him, and then nods slightly. He moves over to Derek's side and presses close, grumbling softly while glaring at Javi.

 

[Firestarter]

Derek wraps one arm around Kalin, pulling him close, "I hope you all have a wonderful night."

He turns and leads Kalin back to the bedroom, closing the door behind them and frowns, "I'm sorry about earlier. I shouldn't have asked you mom about your favorite food. I just...slipped out."
