Hanne

[nola_joshlyman]

Diego had to stop putting it off. He had a bunch of Hanne's mail that he needed to give her. And he knew he should do it now, because she was seeing someone else and was in love, and so what was the point of holding onto her mail or asking her to drop by? He had to shift his thinking, again, into a new era of Hanne and Diego. An era in which there wasn't a Hanne and Diego.

So it was late morning when Diego went by Hanne's new apartment with the mail in one hand, following a different resident into the building. He knocked on the door, steeling himself for seeing Hanne again for the first time, knowing now that she had moved on.

“And I’m always yours. Let’s make some pancakes and then let’s have sex,” Max suggested.

[nola_yvaine]

"God, yes," she agreed, kissing him again. All it took was the suggestion for her voice to have a thread of need in it.

[nola_tristan]

Max grinned. He heard Hanne loud and clear. “But we really do have to finish the pancakes first.”

[nola_yvaine]

Hanne walked backwards towards the kitchen, hands on his hips to pull him with her. "Yes, sustenance is important. Also, syrup."

[nola_tristan]

Max laughed, comfortable to be led. “And chocolate chips. Don’t forget those.”

[nola_yvaine]

"Such a greedy boy," she taunted with a grin, leaning in for a brief, teasing kiss before she let go of him in favor of the bowl of batter.

[nola_tristan]

“But I’m so cute,” Max countered, and Hanne could let him go, but he was going to have to lean in and steal another kiss while she held the batter.

[nola_yvaine]

"Yes, you are. Which doesn't make you less greedy, but does mean you're going to get everything you want," she pointed out very promisingly. Hanne stirred the batter with one hand to make sure it hadn't separated at all and used the other to pour most of a bag of chocolate chips into the bowl.

[nola_tristan]

“Luckily, most of what I want is for you to be happy. And food.” He grinned, kissing the side of Hanne’s face as she worked.

[nola_yvaine]

"This is a food appreciation household," she assured him, heating up the griddle. "You should see me eat a cheeseburger."

[nola_tristan]

“I would love to see you eat a cheeseburger,” Max replied, then laughed at himself. “Okay, weirdo.”

[nola_yvaine]

"Hey, that's the love of my two lives you're calling a weirdo," Hanne said, smacking his ass lightly with a spatula. "Though you're not wrong," she added, eyes laughing.

[nola_tristan]

“Are you into spanking in this life?” Max asked instantly, his face still lit up with merriment.

[nola_yvaine]

Hanne grinned. "That's for me to know and you to find out," she replied, pouring four circles of batter onto the pan.

[nola_tristan]

“I can’t wait to learn all your new secrets.” And because Max couldn’t help himself, he kissed Hanne’s shoulder as she worked.

[nola_yvaine]

She loved every single one of those kisses and touches; how had she ever cooked without them? "I can't wait to learn yours."

[nola_tristan]

“Secret number one: I think you look sexy with flour on your face.” Max grinned.

[nola_yvaine]

"That's my badge of honor. I think I've finally defeated these pancakes," she said, sliding the first batch onto a plate and pouring another one. "Tell me another one," Hanne requested, holding a stray chocolate chip up to his lips for him to eat.

[nola_tristan]

Max bent down to suck the chocolate chip into his mouth, kissing her fingers in the process. “Secret two: I ate chalk when I was eleven just to see what it tasted like.” It tasted bad.

[nola_yvaine]

Hanne was so surprised into laughter that she clapped a hand over her mouth. When she dropped it again, still laughing, she said, "I can't believe I'm in love with a chalk-eater."

[nola_tristan]

“I can.” Max would never stop grinning at this rate. “It’s very you.”

[nola_yvaine]

"I am not giving you any of these pancakes now," she lied, pretending to be offended.

[nola_tristan]

“Secret three, I already know you’re going to share the pancakes,” Max said instantly.

[nola_yvaine]

"Only because I need you to have the energy to take me back to bed after," she playfully insisted. Hanne piled the second batch of pancakes on the plate with the first and turned off the stove.

[nola_tristan]

“You want to make it all the way back to the bed? I was just going to dramatically sweep everything off the table, throw you down onto it…”
