[CLOSED] you're tellin me a catboy fried this rice?
Who: Noah & Nene
What: Throwback to the first time the nenoahs met. There will be rice.
When: April 1st, dinnertime
Where: Dorm kitchens
Warnings: Excessive cuteness, Noah's cooking
[Whenever dinnertime rolls around, Noah will go and fetch Nene for a surprise, and then drag her cheerfully off to the dorm kitchen where he has set up what appears to be... a date? Maybe? There's a white sheet on a desk he's pulled from the study hall (in lieu of a tablecloth) and he has plates set out and a vase of cut flowers in the middle of it.
On the plates? Piles of fried rice. And nothing else.
It's not the greatest fried rice. It's edible and decent, but it's forgettable. He didn't flavour it very much and some of the rice is a tad bit crispier than it should be. But all in all, it's an attempt.
When Nene goes to sit down, Noah pulls her chair out for her. Like a gentleman. And then, stupidly, he opens the conversation with:]
Do you remember when we first met and you taught me how to fry rice?

and it's so cute. is that supposed to be a tablecloth? is he- oh gosh, he made her dinner? ... even if it doesn't quite look the best, before nene sits down she hugs noah real tight, giggling softly. )
Mmhm. That was... a year ago, wasn't it?
no subject
...yeah. It was. I might've screwed it up a bit. If it's really bad, just tell me, my feelings won't be hurt. I only know how to make pancakes and French toast, really...
no subject
No one's gonna get a new thing down 100% the first time. We can practice together, too! And then we'll add another recipe to your book.
( so she's gonna have some!! and even if it's a bit crispy and probably not as flavorful as it could be, she thinks it's delicious. cooking with love does that. )
no subject
[Noah wants to be perfect! He wants to be helpful in the kitchen! He's not even a perfectionist by nature, he'd just like to do things right and have them turn out perfect.
...yeah, the food isn't fantastic? But it's food, and he's never been a picky eater. Nene's cooking is far better, though.]
You can tell me if you hate it, too.
[Boy she doesn't—]
no subject
( baps!!!! )
... It's a little overcooked. But that's not bad. When we make this again, I'll show you better, okay? But I like it. And I love you.
no subject
[Help, not the love!!]
I love you too. ...the good news is, it's a lot better than the vegan pancakes I made for Clamor that one time. They turned out... suspicious, I guess.
no subject
( even as she continues eating, she's clearly trying to not giggle at the little annecdote- she wants the details, honestly. )
no subject
Well... you put eggs in pancakes, usually. Except Clamor can't have eggs, because he's vegan, so we tried using oil as a substitute. I thought that, since you normally use two or three eggs for pancake mix, that you should have that many eggs equivalent of oil.
...
So that's not correct, apparently.
no subject
( except the small 'noooo' trails into barely stifled giggles that she is deeply apologetic for, even though she cannot stop them from happening. )
M-maybe we should get you a recipe book so you'll have it on hand-
no subject
[Noah points to his bad eye; it's covered as it normally is, but he's more or less indicating the spirit pact without saying anything. Wherever he kicked Clamor off to so that he could have his little lunch date is a mystery.]
Where would we even get a cookbook? The student store? I haven't... been there recently.
[He's been casually avoiding it because Keigo used to run it and Keigo makes him think of Amami and Noah is sad.]
no subject
( maybe that's too domestic for a place like this. but... ...
the student store. nene hasn't been there in a while either. during the past couple months it felt like she was in a daze... and then she woke up in the aftermath of so much hurt and loss. she still doesn't understand.
her grip tightens around the fork and she doesn't say anything for a while. )
... There might be some in the library.
no subject
[Disastrous, truly.
...]
Yeah, we can try the library. I bet there's all kinds of old stuff in there. Some of the books in there are... pretty musty.
[Jello salad time :0]
no subject
( get BACK demon, away with ye and your salads of jello!
anyways.
nene pauses and then... leans over across the table to press a soft, brief kiss to noah's cheek, because she thinks it's cute how he gets flustered. )
Ehehe, yeah, they're kinda old, but some classics are well worth knowing! And I'll write down my recipes for you, too.
