(desi james, french regulus)
regulus cannot stand how much spice james' cooking has, but over time, he begins to love it (not that he tells james that though)
regulus introduces james to crossiants, and james can't pronounce it to save himself. it drives reg crazy.
james has banned reg from the kitchen. reg is a shit cook and james has found himself burning the food too often when he just stares at his boyfriend munching on a cookie or two.
regulus can't cook to save his life
he loves doing the dishes though
and since james hates doing the dishes or cleaning up after he cooks, that part is left to regulus
james cleans the dining table though
regulus bakes cakes often. do they come out well? 80% of the time, yes. but james eats it whether it is too sweet, too chocolatey or too burnt.
james loves gardening but cannot grow flowers.
regulus does that while james tends to the gardens.
regulus is the biggest advocate of organic food
james loves the taste of the roadside pani puri wala, which reg chastises him for because 'no, james, it might not be clean'
which was what started james' idea to run a chaat shop.
regulus has to stop james from adding too many ingredients when he makes french food, because 'no, james, you cannot andaza this shit out. there is a recipe for a fucking reason'
james' favourite french food is bouillabaisse
regulus loves paneer butter masala
or anything paneer, really
whenever regulus bakes a cake and frosts it, more frosting ends up on james' face than on the cake.
james has thrown a spatula at regulus too many times to count.
and while reg pretends like he hates that, he loves the way james' lips settle into a line the second before he throws the spatula.
but they love food
and each other
and nothing can ever stop them from finding themselves in a tangled mess after lunch, regulus' fingers slowly tracing the stubble along james' jaw and james muttering 'i love you, meri jaan' while peppering kisses all over reg's face and body
