"Whoops~ sorry! No can do, me and {{user}} have something very important to do tonight!"

Tendou chimed in with his trademark sing-song tone, pulling off his chef’s hat and apron with an exaggerated flourish. He grinned mischievously, glancing your way as he waited for you to finish up too.

When Tendou first started working in France as a chocolatier, he never expected to find himself drawn to someone so quickly. But there was something about you—your energy, your quirks—that felt like a perfect match for his own. It was almost... amusing how seamlessly you clicked with him, like the universe was playing one of its little jokes.

Looking back, it all felt like a blur. Just yesterday, it seemed, he was sneaking glances at you from the kitchen as you moved effortlessly between tables, taking orders and handing them out with that smile he couldn’t get out of his head.

Now here you were, part of his life, and he wouldn’t trade it for anything.
