Cooking with Robert

[rockandroll_swede]

Erik mumbled in his sleep as he rolled over and then yawned. What time was it? Was it even morning yet? The Swede groaned sleepily and then could feel sleep pulling him back into the land of dreams. Wasn't he supposed to be cooking with Robert today? That's what they talked about last night didn't they? The guitarist nuzzled into the pillow and felt too tired to get up.

"Sötnos?"

It came out as a tired mumble more than anything because Erik just assumed Robert was already up and awake since the bed felt empty and not as warm as it has been when the fluffy Brit was there. Half-asleep Erik rubbed at his eyes and scratched his head before slumping back underneath the covers.

Robert was up. As they had discussed, breakfast then showering and some time out with grocery shopping along the way. The Brit hoped to find some farm market or local place for fresh produce. He should really talk to Rekker about where to go but he hadn't asked yet.

Right now, he's in the kitchen making pancakes with fruit for breakfast. He can't hear the mumbling Swede in the bedroom though he does hear the faintest shifting on the typical hotel bed, squeaky and noisy. He figures Erik will come out soon but if not, he'll let him sleep in until the food is done at least.

Erik stirred once more and decided to get up because his hand went to feel for Robert next to him but instead was greeted with an empty space. The sheets below were cold and there was no sign of the warm Brit. Robert had to be up. The sleepy Swede getting up out of the bed and yawning whilst walking towards the kitchen. It still hadn't dawned on him that he hadn't bothered to put any clothes on yet.

"Fluffig? Are you in the kitchen?"

The sleepy Swede pushing black hair out of his face and rubbing his eyes as he approached the kitchen area. What was the time even? The smell of food was inviting though as Erik rubbed the back of his neck.

[thisisgroundcontrol]

"I'm cooking." He called back. "You should get dressed. Breakfast is almost done."

Robert was expecting the younger man to shuffle out into the kitchen at any moment to hug him from behind. That was the usual, something he appreciated in their relationship. True, Robert was only in his long robe but it was something more than what Erik was wondering out in.

[rockandroll_swede]

"Cooking? Oh. Well then I will put on some clothes, Fluffig."

Erik blushed a little and giggled mischievously as he went back into the bedroom, pulling on some underwear, some colourful pants as well as his fluffy boots and a thin shirt. Just enough to be decent enough to watch Robert cook and help if the Brit wanted the Swede in the kitchen with him.

"It smells good, sötnos."

As if on cue Erik stepped behind Robert and hugged him, nuzzling into those soft curls, sighing in contentment.

[thisisgroundcontrol]

Robert laughed to himself about the sleepy Swede. He was adorable when he woke up in the morning.

"Pancakes." Robert mentioned as he rubbed his free hand over the arms snaking around his midsection. "How did you sleep?"

[rockandroll_swede]

"Pancakes? Oh, I like those! They smell so tasty."

Erik enjoying the way Robert was all warm and snuggly against his body. The robe was also a tease as he allowed his fingers to move up, delving beneath the robe to touch some of the Brit's fuzzy chest hair.

"I slept well. Peacefully with my face in your curls."

That caused the Swede to giggle as he laid his head on Robert's shoulder softly.

[thisisgroundcontrol]

"I put fruit on them and there's homemade whipped cream in the fridge."

Robert mentioned while leaning back into Erik behind him. This was the best of a relationship. He took Erik's hand and kissed his fingers before letting his hand go to go back to cooking.

"I'm glad." He needed to finish the prep and turned to kiss Erik's cheek. "Will you take the tea and mugs to the table while I get the plates?"

[rockandroll_swede]

"Fruit? Oh and home made whipped cream? This sounds so delicious!"

Erik beamed as he pressed a kiss back to Robert's cheek before letting go to take the tea and mugs to the table. The home made whipped cream sounded delightful and the cheeky young guitarist couldn't help but think naughty thoughts with that. He was sleepy but awake enough to want Robert eating with him. It felt so right to be doing things like this with the man he loved.

"I love you."

The Swede giggled a little and then yawned while watching Robert get everything ready. Was he ready to fall back asleep after they ate? Possibly. But he did want to spend as much time as he could with the Brit.

[thisisgroundcontrol]

"I went to get them while you were asleep."

Robert laughed and patted Erik's backside as he walked into the other room with the tea.

"I love you too." Robert called after him while collecting plates, the plate of pancakes, silverware and the bowl of whipped cream to take to the table. He set the things on the table before taking the seat beside Erik and ruffling his bedhead hair some.

[rockandroll_swede]

"I did not hear you get up."

Erik was in a deep sleep after spending the night before with his brother and friends getting drunk and doing all sorts of crazy shit as per normal. That and the guitarist was learning some new riffs in the day so was tired when he rolled into bed at some stupid time in the early morning. The pat got a giggle from the Swede who sat down and watched Robert bring everything over.

"The bowl of whipped cream looks nice. Did you make it this morning, Fluffig?"

The Swede grabbing Robert's hand ruffling his hair to kiss his fingers.

[thisisgroundcontrol]

Robert smiled and leaned over to kiss Erik's cheek.

"I did." Cooking, especially in the morning, made Robert feel better throughout the day. This was especially true in the madness of the tour.

"Do you still want to help me with dinner?"

[rockandroll_swede]

"Of course I want to help you with dinner. I did promise to help you in the kitchen, sötnos. Just being with you makes me happy."

The guitarist leaning into Robert next to him, kissing his cheek and could smell the pancakes, making his mouth water. It all looked so tasty! The whipped cream catching Erik's eye and making him want to lather it all over his pancakes. The Swede forked some pancakes onto his plate and then wondered what Robert would pick.

"It all smells so good. Just like you."

[thisisgroundcontrol]

"We'll go to the markets for the afternoon."

Robert rarely had free days to enjoy and he wanted to go to the farm markets and enjoy L.A. some before work called him back. Robert took a couple of the pancakes adding a little syrup and a big dollop of whipped cream on them.

"My hair always smells like what I'm cooking." Robert imagined it was the fact that he had such thick and curly hair that leant itself to all the smells getting stuck in it. The fruit of this morning wouldn't be too bad.

[rockandroll_swede]

"I'd like that. We can pick up some ingredients and food to stock our little kitchen up with. Chef Robert."

Erik popped Robert on the end of his nose with a finger playfully and then watched as the Brit added syrup and whipped cream to his pancakes. They smelled so good and would taste even better. Picking up the syrup bottle, Erik squeezed some out onto his own pancakes then dolloped some whipped cream on the top. He smirked as he dipped a fingertip into the cream and offered it to Robert.

"That's so cute, sötnos. I love burying myself in your hair."

[thisisgroundcontrol]

"Chef?" Robert starts laughing. "I thought I was a secret agent?"

He's teasing before he starts eating, though Erik interrupts him. That gets another giggle though he does lick the whipped cream off. "Shouldn't you be the one licking the cream?"

He winks and nods to Erik loving his hair. It seems like the young Swede would live with his face in Robert's hair if he could.

[rockandroll_swede]

"You are both, Fluffig! So multi- uh multi---mångbegåvad multi-talented!"

The young Swede still struggled with some longer complex words in English but was trying. Hunter said he needed to try and use English wherever possible if he was now dating a British man. It just caused the guitarist to giggle a little.

"How about I lick it off your finger?"

Erik just offering Robert a coy glance.

"Once we finish our food we can then go to the market together."

[thisisgroundcontrol]

"My finger?" Robert started giggling as they sat together eating.

"I've wanted to spend a day with you like this for awhile." Robert admitted. He rarely had a whole day to himself. Spending it with his lover doing everyday things felt good.

[rockandroll_swede]

"Maybe more than your finger but that means you are a naughty boy."

Erik slid a hand along the inside of Robert's thigh suggestively and then gave the older man a kiss on the cheek. It felt so good just sitting and doing this sort of thing with the man he loved.

"You have? Well, now you get to spend a relaxing day with me doing things you want. No driving today so you can rest your arm muscles."

The Swede caressing Robert's arms with his hands, squeezing his biceps softly.

[thisisgroundcontrol]

"How am I naughty when you're the one thinking something dirty?"

Robert teased and barely held in the laughter. His eyes glanced down at that hand creeping up his thigh. "You're a dirty young man."

The laughter finally escaped as he shook his head, curls bobbing. He adored Erik, partially because the young Swede was so cheeky.

"I'll still be driving today, but hopefully less chaotic than usual."

[rockandroll_swede]

"I can't help thinking dirty things with you because you are so handsome and attractive."

Erik giggling and kissing Robert on the tip of his nose. Was the Swede a dirty young man? Oh yes. Hunter could vouch for that as could most of the tour. The guitarist had a very vivid imagination when it came to Robert.

"Less chaotic, yes. Maybe we can buy some nice food to stock up our kitchen?"

The Swede leant into the Brit, snuggling into those thick curls, sighing.

[thisisgroundcontrol]

'Blaming me?" Robert smirked at the teasing and the kiss. He didn't mind the dirty antics of his lover even if his mind was far more romantic and not quite as dirty as Erik's most of the time.

"Not too much. We're only here a few more days." That was one downside of the road. He could never have a fully stocked kitchen.

[rockandroll_swede]

"I would not blame you, Fluffig. You are too handsome and cute to blame."

Erik just leaned into Robert and felt some of the Brit's golden curls tickle his nose. This nearly caused him to sneeze but he held it in. Even if they were here for a few days they could still buy some good food and nice wine to stock up.

"Maybe we could buy some different teas and some wine too."

The Swede gently stroking Robert's arm as he pressed a kiss to the older man's cheek.

[thisisgroundcontrol]

"I thought my handsomeness took away your control?" Robert laughed while leaning into his nuzzling lover. This felt so good.

"I'm sure we can. I'll check in with Rekker for suggestions." Robert trusted his brother to direct him to worthwhile places. Sure, sometimes he would lead Robert astray as a joke but not when he was spending the day with his partner.

[rockandroll_swede]

"I like it when you are in control and authoritative. That makes you hot."

Erik wanted to give Robert a break from the constant driving he had to do on tour, even if it was for a few hours. Just the two of them spending time with one another doing the things they both liked. No doubt Rekker would have some good suggestions knowing LA much better than both Erik and Robert.

"This sounds like fun, sötnos."

The Swede kissing Robert's cheek and giggling slightly.

[thisisgroundcontrol]

"You're kinky as your brother and his toys."

Robert couldn't help that comeback. It slipped out before he could stop it. He did pause to text Rekker about some suggestions.

"It does." Robert took Erik's hand and kissed it. "So, .. am I driving or are we taxi-ing around all day?"
