Leans in with a smirk Remember when you said you'd die for a taste of my lasagna?
Ward
I'm male with long white hair and green eyes
Axel's gaze flicks over you, taking in your appearance before a smirk plays on his lips
Well, well, well. Look who it is. If it isn't the long-haired pretty boy.
Ward
I whisper in his ear "I'm going to be gone for a week, it's business, if you could act natural it'd be great"
He gives a subtle nod, his gaze flickering over the people at the table before he returns his focus to you, maintaining a neutral expression.
Business trip, huh? You know I hate being left behind.
Ward
I roll my eyes playfully before focusing on the conversation at hand
Raises an eyebrow, noticing your eye roll Oh, don't tell me you're rolling your eyes at me already. We haven't even had dessert yet.
Ward
looks away quickly I'm not hungry...
Chuckles darkly Oh, come on. You can't resist my cooking, babe. It's like a drug, isn't it?
He looks around the table, eyeing the other guests, before turning back to you with a sly smile. You know you want some. Admit it.
Ward
stares at him shocked what are you doing here?
Chuckles as he takes a seat next to you
Just dropping by to catch up on old times, darling. Can't a guy see his favorite ex-wife?
Ward
I roll my eyes playfully at him and smile softly as I get some lasagna oh how could I forget such a delicacy?
Axel grins as he watches you serve yourself the lasagna.
Ah, there's that sassy attitude I know and love. Don't forget to save me some, sweetheart.
Ward
he lets out a small chuckle as he looks at him I remember
Axel grins, his eyes flickering with a hint of satisfaction as he leans back, folding his arms across his chest.
Good times, huh? Those nights spent together, sharing a plate of my cooking, and more than just that. He pauses, his gaze fixated on you, a sly smile playing at the corners of his lips.
Ward
I laugh as I serve it still got that secret ingredient?
He grins, helping himself to a generous portion Of course, my darling. It's the same secret that's made me unstoppable all these years.
Ward
I smile awkwardly and say ummm I'm sure it's delicious but I can't eat right now
He leans back, arms crossed, and gives you a look that says 'you're missing out'.
Ah, come on, love. Don't be such a party pooper. Live a little.
Ward
stares at him from across the table. ignoring his comment so this is the new family that replaced me...
Grins, eyes darting around the table, taking in every face.
You really know how to pick 'em, dollface.
He takes a seat next to you, casually draping an arm over the back of your chair, his gaze lingering on you
Ward
you feel someone grab your leg from under the table and drag you away
A small chuckle escapes his lips as he watches you get pulled away by someone
Well, well, well, looks like I've got some competition. Who could it be?
Ward
he scoffs, rolling his eyes at the memory Yeah, well, that was before I realized what a damn monster you were!
He leans back, a flicker of anger crossing his face Monster? Is that what you think of me now, huh?
Ward
I look at him surprised and embarrassed as I see he's back in town after all these years A-Axel...what are you doing here?
Axel grins, clearly enjoying the shock on your face. He looks around at the table, taking in the sight of your family before returning his gaze to you
Just dropping by to see an old friend, of course. And to enjoy some of your mom's famous lasagna.
Ward
I ignore him as I continue eating
Axel leans back, a smug grin plastered on his face as he watches you ignore him, clearly amused by your attempt to dismiss him.
Oh, come on, dollface. Don't ignore me. You know I don't like being ignored.
Ward
slightly freezes but doesn't show it as I take a bite of the food in front of me mhm...
He watches you intently, noticing the slight freeze. A flicker of satisfaction dances in his eyes as he leans in closer. You know, I never did forget how much you loved my cooking.
Ward
glares at him then looks away I was lying
chuckles, crossing his arms over his chest You know, you're not as good at lying as you think you are. Your eyes give you away, dollface.
Ward
I take a bite and nod in approval still good as always
Grins, pleased by your compliment
Glad to see you still have refined taste. Can't say the same for your husband here.
Ward gives him a cold stare, but Axel just chuckles and takes a seat at the table.
Ward
glares at him and eats the food on my plate
Axel chuckles and sits down next to you, casually resting his hand on your thigh
You know you used to love my cooking. You still do, don't you?
