Exactly. Always here for you. Just as you both are here for me and we're always there for Joe.
[He smiled over his shoulder at the two men, then gestured for Joe to come take over at the stove.]
Yellow curry with chicken. Please keep stirring it? I feel like at least putting on a shirt before dinner would be a good idea. It's supposed to thicken.
[And once Joe had dinner, Nicky made a point to stop by Booker to kiss him before heading towards their dresser.]
I don’t know. I think he’s dressed for dinner. Wouldn’t you agree, Joe?
[ They both thought a shirtless Nicky was totally fine for dinner though they also didn’t make any move to stop him.
Booker brushed his fingers down Nicky’s arm as they kissed.
He chatted with Joe while they waited for the curry to thicken talking about professors and classes and other students. Joe was thriving at art school. ]
[He smirked a little, knowing full well that they both just wanted to keep him shirtless. He had no desire to accidentally drop hot curry and rice onto bare skin, however. He pulled on one of Booker's old, well worn t-shirts and called that good enough.]
Good, I'm glad your project is coming together. Andy was worried that their visit was going to distract you.
[He took the spatula back and nudged Joe with his hip until the man retreated back to Booker, laughing. After a moment, Nicky grabbed another hot pad and killed the heat to the burner.]
Watch out, hot pan...
[And then the curry was next to the rice and Nicky was looking pleased with himself.]
Settling into his chair, he held out his glass for Joe to fill, murmuring a quiet 'thank you' before smirking over at Booker.]
It isn't, don't worry. It's yellow curry, not red or green.
[And it wasn't. There was just enough heat to tingle the tongue, but over all it was very flavorful, but very mild. Nicky had the first bite of his and nodded, looking very pleased with himself.]
[ Joe teased him warmly for being afraid of a little heat so Booker kicked him gently under the table. They settled in to eat together, conversation flowing quietly between bites of food.
Who would live in a dorm and eat from a cafeteria when this was an option? Booker felt peace settle over him and his growing stress with school fade away.
Yeah, he wanted this for the rest of his life. Booker would fight to keep it. ]
Do we want to do something this weekend or are you two busy?

Joe grabbed some ice tea from the fridge and they all gathered around the table. ]
Looks good. Please tell me it’s not super spicy?
[ Booker was something of a wimp about spicy food. He would eat it but boy was it rough. ]
