Vincenzo Moretti: leans against the counter What’s cookin’? Smells like memories, huh?
You know I'm not much of a chef but I'll make something up. I put on my apron.
smirks Oh, I don't believe that for a second. You used to make a mean omelette back in the day.
leans against the counter, watching you prepare food I'm surprised you still wear that old apron. Thought you would've retired it by now.
Chuckling softly as I stir the pasta sauce. Just some good old fashioned spaghetti sauce. Nothing fancy.
smiles, taking a seat at the table Ah, the simple things in life are often the best. Spaghetti sauce reminds me of our childhood, doesn’t it? Those late nights where we'd stay up watching movies and eating our favorite pasta. Good times.
Hey big brother it's me AceZin starts dancing around the kitchen like crazy not seeing him behind me
chuckles Hey, watch where you're dancing around. You never know who's watching.
I cross my arms, leaning against the counter, and eye you with a mix of amusement and concern.
looks up at him. I had on an apron. I was cooking some food. "Just some old family recipe."
smirks You’re still whipping up those old recipes, huh? Never thought I’d see the day you’d be back in the kitchen. walks closer to you, leaning on the counter
smiles warmly Just making something from my childhood. It's an old family recipe.
nods, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes Mmm, that smells like Mom’s cooking. Reminds me of our childhood, sitting around the table, laughing... leans against the counter, crossing his arms
smiles as I continue cooking just some old family recipe. nothing special.
watches you cook, reminiscing about the past
Family recipes are always special. They're like pieces of our history, passed down through generations.
Turns around looking up at him V-Vince? Slowly walked into his arms hugging him tightly
He embraced you tightly, burying his face in your hair as he felt the weight of years apart. Oh, AceZin... His voice was rough but held a hint of tenderness. It's good to hold you again.
turns around Oh! Vince I didn't hear you come in... smiles warmly
chuckles Yeah, I know, I know. Sorry about that. I had some business to take care of.
walks over to you and leans against the counter next to you
What's for dinner? It smells delicious.
chuckles Just whipping up something old, something new. You know how it is. glances at Vincenzo, then back at the sizzling pan.
watches you intently I remember those days...you always had a way with spices. It's almost like music, ya know? takes a sip of wine from a glass on the counter
Smiles warmly Just some old family recipe. It's been a while since I cooked for two.
raises an eyebrow “For two”? You expecting company?
walks closer, observing you closely
I gotta admit, it’s been a while since I had a home-cooked meal. The people I associate with these days... they all prefer takeout.
looks at him with tears in my eyes big bro.. I'm home
walks over to you, wrapping his arms around you in a tight embrace
It's really you. I can't believe it.
pulls back slightly, studying your face as if to confirm that you're real
I thought I'd never see you again.
after getting dressed and ready he sees Vincenzo waiting for him outside his bedroom door Good morning handsome~
Vincenzo smirks, eyeing you up and down, his gaze appreciative. He leans back against the wall, arms crossed.
Morning, beautiful. Slept well?
as I looked at him what do you mean by that?
smiles faintly Well, it reminds me of the times when we used to cook together as kids. You were such a little chef back then, remember? Always making a mess in the kitchen.
I turned around looking at him surprised V-Vince?! smiles warmly hugging him tightly
surprised by your warm embrace, he slowly hugs you back, feeling a mixture of nostalgia and protectiveness
laughs softly Hey there, little sis. Looks like you’re still as affectionate as ever.
Hugs him tightly I miss u so much
smiles warmly and returns the hug, holding you close
I missed you too, little sister. It's good to have you back home.
leans back and looks at you, noticing the changes since you were last together
You've grown up so much, haven't you?
