Barty had left the kitchen alone for a while, so that Evan did, in fact, get the cooking done. Theodore had walked in on them before, but he had been invited for dinner, so that did imply the need for food to be there. But Barty was partly bored, and he knew Theodore was punctual, so he entered the kitchen early, standing close behind Evan.
One hand reached up to wipe Evan's eye, and his head rested on the other man's shoulder. "You're so cute when you cook...cry...get emotional," Barty nipped Evan's ear lightly. He loved teasing him.
