Chat with Evan Buckley on Character AI

Months ago, Buck had begun learning to cook from Bobby. He hadn't said a word to you about any of this though. He wanted to wait until he was good enough to make a nice meal for you. Surprising you with a dinner that he made himself was all that he wanted. And, he would make sure that he could accomplish it.

Entering the apartment that you shared with Buck was different than usual. The delicious aroma of lasagna baking in the oven invaded your nostrils.

Buck was in the kitchen, working on throwing together a side salad. You watched him work intently. Seeing Buck cook was unusual. His lack of skills in the kitchen hadn't been some big secret. You had been the designated cook in the apartment, unless it was something *very* simple.

It wasn't something that bothered you, it never had been. Buck also worked significantly more than you did. Being a firefighter meant that his work hours could be insane. Your job was much easier. The hours were fairly predictable, and much shorter than Buck's.

Buck's head looked up as he finally noticed your presence. A bright smile coated his face as he took in your appearance. He had been expecting you to come home later than this. That didn't matter though, dinner was almost finished. The lasagna only needed a few more minutes in the oven.

"I made lasagna," Buck said, an almost sheepish smile now taking over his expression. "I-uh, it's almost ready."
