Ken would walk through the door to the apartment, clearing his throat and calling out.

"CG, you home?"

"Yep!"

She was in the kitchen, cooking something for the boys. The smell of chicken and spices would waft through the entire Pod.

Who needs to go to the cafeteria when they have an Evie in the house?

"I'm in the kitchen."

Ken walked in with a Rose, and a bottle of wine.

"Feels like forever since I've seen the girlfriend. A la...you."

He grinned, setting the rose down on the counter.

"Whatchoo been up to? Something smells delicious...."

Girlfriend? Her face was flushed at that word, but she was keeping herself busy, stirring some kind of sauce on the stove. The chicken was in the oven, actually.

When she looked up, her eyes fell on the bottle of wine, and she couldn't help but frown slightly.

"How do you keep ending up with alcohol?"

"I have my means....and....ways...."

Ken would smirk before taking the bottle of erath and looking at it.

"I don't want to get drunk or anything- wine is for the flavor. And I thought maybe you and I could hang out a little tonight. Get to know each other more."

"Sure," she said with a furrow of her brows. Where on gods green earth was he GETTING the ALCOHOL? She offered him a concerned little smile, but didn't say anything else.

Instead, she turned around, focusing on the cooking. She was making enough for Mik to have some, too, but she had a feeling he wasn't invited on this date. "I've got some garlic mashed potatoes, some chicken in the oven... wine will go well with that. Right?"

She didn't really know wines. She worked at a diner, not a fine restaurant.

He chuckled.

"Haha, definitely."

He would step forward and give her a light kiss on her cheek, placing his hands atop her shoulders. He would look down at her, biting his lip.

"We...don't have to have any. I know you said you're not a big drinker so we can skip it and just eat."

She shrugged, tilting her head up to let him kiss her on the cheek. He was standing right behind her, and she smiled, softly. "It doesn't really matter to me," she told him, turning from the sauce to the potatoes, made just as her mother used to make them.

Thinking about her parents always made her smile. She remembered how they would have date nights, with Mom in the kitchen and Dad bringing home a bottle of wine. How closely remniscent this was made her heart skip a beat in her chest.

Even if she was a little distracted.

"The wine is fine, I'm sure. And once I get everything to the right temperature, I can go put the rose in my room." She glanced up at him with light blue eyes, her hair loose around her face.

His brow furrowed.

His parents....were not so lucky. Not that he knew what she was thinking, but with her being so kind as to make him a meal he couldn't help but go there too. His dad would come home and kick up his feet, asking for a beer. Then shouting for one. If one didn't come soon, someone was getting a bruise. Then, Ken would be ordered to rub his feet through his socks while he watched boxing.

Ken could still smell them, if he thought about it hard enough.

Good thing she was cooking.

"Alright." He nodded, looking down at her. "You are...comfortable, with me calling you my girlfriend, right? I don't wanna like, push you..."

"I don't really know what that means," she admitted, but didn't lose the smile that was still plastered across her face. She looked happy, and if his thoughts were somewhere dark, hers were the exact opposite. She couldn't help but think about how beautiful everything was, in that moment. Her timer, a little apple beside the stove, went off, and she backed up a bit to look at the chicken in the oven.

It was coming along nicely, and when she opened it, the smell of Italian seasoned chicken and mushrooms came wafting out.

"I mean, I get the basics of it, sure, but I don't... Really know what that means." She closed the oven again and turned back to the potatoes and the liquid dressing for the chicken. "I've never had a boyfriend before. And I mean... If I'm your girlfriend, then you're my boyfriend, right?" That WAS how it worked, right?

He would step back to let her work, leaning against the counter and nodding.

"Yeah, I would say so. I've never really had a serious girlfriend either so we're sorta in the same boat. But I think it means we remain exclusive. We don't...become interested other people, or look for that. It's not all about sex, it's about having a unique connection....I think."

That sounded right....

"So it's different than dating because you've already decided whether or not you have that connection?" She asked, her brows furrowed as she continued to cook the different things on the stove.

She had cooked for the Pod before, and while it was rarely intricate or advanced recipes, she seemed fairly decent at the art.

He nodded.

"You are telling yourself, them and the rest of the world you're not free to date because you are with someone you care about."

He would smirk.

"You hold hands, kiss, fuck- whatever you wanna do."

The vulgarity of his phrasing made her wince a little, but she nodded thoughtfully.

She didn't say anything as she contemplated his words.

Ken's cheeks warmed a little as she winced, the big man bringing a hand up behind his head to scratch. He could tell she wasn't big on cursing.

"A-anyway. You're basically letting the other person know, along with anyone who sees, that you and that person are it I guess."

He would glance around the kitchen, then turn and grab the wine bottle, strolling out and toward the living room.

"If you don't want that, it's no biggy. Just let me know so I can get back to life as usual."

What was she supposed to say to him? He had been so kind to her. And she appreciated that... greatly.

"Kenny," she called after him, trying to offer him a smile. "You know, dinners almost done, and you said that wine would go great with the chicken. Why don't we sit down together and eat?"

She would reach out and, if he let her, take his hand.

Rather than let her take his hand, he would catch her fingertips, bend and kiss the back of her hand.

"I'd love too."

He'd release her hand and keep walking away, however. She didn't....answer him. That wasn't a good sign.

He popped the cork on the wine and chugged a little.

"I don't think you're supposed to chug wine," she told him softly, trying to lighten the mood back out.

It was only a few seconds later that she pulled the chicken out of the oven and starred gathering two plates, two nice glasses, and the buttered toast to complete the meal.

He lowered the bottle and wiped his mouth.

"Well, since buying the director a new desk I've been a little broke. You've never tasted wine at the level of this cheapness. It's not so much wine as grape flavored water."

He chuckled at his own joke.

"That doesn't sound too bad," she said with a gentle sort of laugh, plating their food and finding silverware for them.
