Title: Chatterbox
Pairing/Characters: Adam/Tommy
Rating (Word Count): 2/100
Warning(s): None.
Author's notes: Part of the chef AU, this is after they are an established couple. Also, marcona almonds are the best nuts ever.
“Maybe I should start a to-go business on the side of the restaurant.”
Tommy turned over on his back, staring up as Adam started his late night idea dump about the restaurant. He glared at the ceiling , thinking please shut up.
“Like, maybe takeouts of my most popular entrees, and some of Ashley’s cakes. And maybe have free snacks, like candied marcona almonds…”
“That’s it.” Tommy rolled over on top of Adam and put a hand over his mouth. “Go to sleep and tell me about it tomorrow.”
Adam tried to protest and Tommy shushed him. “Not now baby.”
***
Adam whimpered and Tommy moved his hand. “But what if I forget about it by tomorrow?”
“You won’t. You don’t forget good ideas.” Adam lit up at that and Tommy had to suppress the aw fuck he was thinking. Now he had encouraged the monster. “I mean, it can wait.”
“You like it!” Adam beamed at him and Tommy groaned. But then Adam flopped on his side and moved Tommy around until Adam was spooning him. “Okay. I’ll talk to Neil about it tomorrow. Thanks Tommy, you’re the best.”
“Night.” Tommy closed his thankful for the silence and Adam’s arms.

Warning(s): None
Author's notes: Another chef AU bit, this one when they are established. Just some cuteness.
“So.” Tommy rolled down the window as Adam started the car. “The story at work is that I’m moving in.”
“Uh.” Adam stared ahead, not moving.
“Yeah, Esteban told me that everyone thinks it, except for those who think I already am.” Tommy raised an eyebrow. “I wonder where they get this from.”
“Not from me!” Adam held up a hand. “I don’t talk about us at work.”
“I know. I don’t either. But it’s cute how they gossip.”
“Really cute. You don’t even have all your guitars at my place.”
“We can get the last one if you like.”
Title: Tell Me
Pairing/Characters: Adam/Tommy
Rating (Word Count): PG, 4x100
Warning(s): None
Author's notes: Chef AU, after they are an established couple. I like the open week, I get to try out a lot of prompts.
“Tell me something I don’t know about you. Like, the last thing I’d expect.” Tommy looked up at Adam, who was sitting in bed facing the TV they had on with the sound muted. Tommy moved up and put his head on Adam’s shoulder as he thought.
“Do you want serious or silly? Because I can think of one of each.” There was a pause and Tommy felt Adam’s arm around his shoulders.
“Tell me the serious one first.”
“Okay.” Tommy took a deep breath. “I was engaged once.”
There was a pause, and Tommy tensed. Then Adam said “Yeah?”
**
“Yeah. I was pretty young, and we’d been dating a while. But it couldn’t happen. She wanted me to get a job and settle down to a normal life, and I couldn’t. I can’t be a husband. I just can’t, it’s not me.”
“No, I guess not.” Adam was silent for another minute. “That is pretty serious. I have to say I’m glad you didn’t marry her though. Just for selfish reasons.” Tommy chuckled then and Adam pressed a kiss to the top of his head. Tommy smiled, relieved that Adam wasn’t upset. “Okay, tell me the silly one now.”
**
“Ummm…” Tommy blushed thinking about it. “When I was eight I used to dress up as Batman.”
“That’s not a secret, every kid dresses up as Batman.”
“No, but I dressed up as Batman when my mom took me shopping. And I got away from her and found a cop and volunteered my services.” Tommy covered his face with his hand. “Oh god.”
Adam laughed, his body shaking as Tommy tried to sink through the bed. “Shit. That’s fantastic. You must have been an awesome kid.” Tommy moved his hand and Adam bent down and kissed him.
“So it’s okay?”
***
“It’s hilarious and awesome and totally okay. Wow. Batman. I just dressed as a vampire all the time.” Tommy laughed picturing that. “I’m glad you told me. Both of them.”
“Yeah.” Tommy slid back down and curled into Adam’s side. “Thanks. For not making a big deal over me almost getting married.”
“No reason for me to. It was a long time ago and you’re here with me now.” Adam clicked the TV off and settled down, spooning Tommy. “Goodnight Batman.”
Tommy groaned. “I’m gonna be hearing about that for a while, right?”
“Yes you are. Now go to sleep.”
Title: Trial By Fire
Pairing/Characters: Adam/Tommy, Brian

Author's notes: Another short Chef AU bit. I love the open week, I've had so much fun!
Tommy took a deep breath, and got behind the line, next to Brian.
“Relax. You’ll do great.” Brian gave him a quick grin, and then Tommy got his first order. He groaned-it was risotto, which was tricky to make. He had butterflies as he added the stock slowly into the rice, stirring the entire time. Once he looked up and caught Adam staring at him. He quickly looked back at the pot.
When he was done, the risotto was plated and he went on to the next dish. He started when he felt Adam’s hand on his shoulder.
“Good job.”
Title: 'Cause I Get Better Looking Each Day
Pairing/Characters: Tommy, Brian, Adam, Ashley
Rating (Word Count): PG, 100
Warning(s): Bad country music.
Author's notes: Inspired by Mac Davis. This song was a family joke-my sister would randomly burst into it. I'm pretty sure that between the two of them, Tommy and Brian know every song ever recorded, so I think it works.
“Oh Lord, it’s hard to be humble, when you’re perfect in every way…” Adam hid his face in his hands. People in the Denny’s were staring at them. Adam could only imagine what they looked like: hungover, wearing dirty clothes, and now Tommy and Brian were leaning against each other and singing loudly. Welcome to Omaha.
“Please shut up,” Adam whimpered, but Brian just held up his coffee mug and kept singing. Ashley was glaring at them, and Adam reached over and patted her hand. “We need more coffee. And burgers.”
“And a fucking tranquilizer gun.” Adam could only nod.
