Rating: PG
Length: 888

Can I just say that I was grinning like a fool and giggling all the way through this?

You had me at:

Noah chuckled at Luke's sincere absurdity. "Don't you already breathe fire? Eat some more of that Kung Pao and you will." Noah waved a hand in front of his face, chasing away an imaginary odor.

I just love this simple little idea...a whole fun, snarky, flirty little scene all coming out of something minor like going out for Chinese. And I LOVE Luke and Noah early on in their relationship, before things got complicated and messed up and messy. Back in the beginning when they were still new to each other and so very flirty. Learning each other's buttons and all that. I liked how embarrassed Noah was with Luke's relatively innocent naughtiness, and how much fun Luke seemed to have with it. What a great use of the "dragon" prompt, I never would have thought of that!

Other parts that I really liked:

"Ha ha, very funny. If it bothers you so much stop stealing from my plate." He pointed at the piece of chicken on Noah's plate

Wow! I'm all blushy and aw shucks!

I love the beginnings of relationships, and theirs was so fun... when they weren't getting shot at or committing to sham marriages. Sigh, those were the days. ;)

I'm so tickled that you liked my lil' fic so much. It makes this all that more fun.

I would read a dozen more just like this! Please write more...I love the way you write their banter. Totally flirty and natural and very in character. :D

Any other little ideas you have especially about their early days, please write them! I love random date moments like this. Fic that just fills in the details and gives us a peak into their everyday life. :) Love it!

I'm a teaser by nature, at least this time no one is crying and calling me "meanie." ;)
Thanks!!
