Setting Up For Success

JJ lightly jogged down the stairs and brought himself right into the kitchen. Without a moment's hesitation, he began to pull out eggs, fresh peppers, spices, cheese, everything for the perfect omelets. Grabbing a few pans, cutting boards, and mixing bowls, JJ began to set everything up before dicing up the peppers with a smile. It was by then that Kenny finally made his way into the room, "Whoa, damn man, cooking up a storm in here already?" The teen chuckled out,

"Not me, you," JJ grinned back, "I'm just doing the heavy lifting of getting everything set up for you,"

"What? Why am I suddenly in charge of breakfast? You want omelets you make them," Kenny dismissed with a short toss of his hand, "Lazy ass,"

JJ let out a short laugh and shook his head, "Try and do a favor for a guy," He muttered to himself, "Listen smooth brain, I'm trying to help you out here. Help you continue to impress and charm Ms.Ross upstairs, you do still like her don't you?"

Kenny's brow jumped up and he immediately felt his cheeks start to turn flush, "Wait, how did you...we told no one...we just woke up, how could you have known what happened?"

JJ's chopping began to slow and he slowly leaned forward, "Hold on a minute, I was talking about continuing to follow my advice from yesterday, but what's all this last night stuff about?" Kenny let out a small nervous smile and remained silent, "No way....Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, my buddy isn't that slick. Not with Anna Ross, he's not,"

"We didn't have sex," Kenny retorted in a hushed tone, "We...fooled around a little though, it was mostly her idea, I just ran with it. You know, kinda like what you told me yesterday?"

JJ let out a breaking exhale of disbelief, "Shit...you're telling the truth, aren't you? My fucking man, you really...shit, okay, get your ass over here," JJ motioned with a wave of his arm causing Kenny to walk over to JJ's side of the counter, "Since you've been moving right along at a faster speed than I would ever anticipate I won't hold your hand through this. Just, listen, this right here," JJ said while motioning his hands over the table, "This is called a supremely romantic gesture, and that's something you need to really think about if you and Anna are gonna be shacking up this trip and beyond,"

"JJ, it's omelets," Kenny denied with an amused smirk, "And I'm plenty romantic, Anna didn't have any problem with me yesterday or this morning,"

"Not having a problem with you isn't the same as being swept off her feet," JJ retorted only to hear the sound of Anna coming down the stairs, "Trust me, Ken, when she comes in just offer to make her some breakfast, I'll back you, and you'll see,"

"Whatever, if it'll get you off my back, fine," Kenny lamented just before Anna entered the room,

"Whoa," Anna awed as she saw Kenny stationed behind half a dozen bowls of omelet ingredients while JJ casually sat in a chair at the counter, "What's going on?"

"Ken's decided to make us breakfast, insisted you get first pick though," JJ replied with a shrug of his shoulders,

"Wow, Kenny, this was really thoughtful," Anna sweetly said while looking over at the teen, "I can't believe you thought to do all this,"

"I..." Kenny droned for a moment as he thought, "I thought it'd be something nice, and...I figured what better way to start the day than making you breakfast,"

"Aw, a cute little breakfast for the happy couple," JJ teased causing Kenny to shoot him a hard glare, though Anna didn't flinch and chose not to correct that statement,

"Thank you, Ken, I really appreciate it a lot," Anna warmly said as she looked over her options, "Ummm, okay, let me start with some fresh green and red peppers," The blonde began to say causing Kenny to jump into action while JJ easily crossed his arms, slyly smiling as he watched the pair slip into their own little world.

After a moment, however, Kenny did take a quick moment to look over to his friend with surprised eyes and JJ merely lifted his hand, delivering a silent, I told you so, to his friend. Before long the entire group was gathered in the dining room, Kenny having prepared each of them breakfast, though Anna patiently waited to eat until he was done cooking, saving an open seat right next to her.
