#cauliflower soup cookie

[loginwalltoldmetomakeacc]

confuse don’t abuse I guess (crk comic)

I knew I had to do a little comic of some sorts after seeing what happened to my boi licos in the grand cookie games update

so I took it upon my self to let my oc cauliflower soup cookie (AKA collie) (he/they) turn the tides a little….. hehe

basically here I took collie’s association with weirdcore and took it to the next level, aaaand now green tea mousse is in a whole ‘nother dimension. Wuh oh! 🫢🫢🫢 hope the others aren’t next if they try anything funny���….

neighbour's dozen

pairing: carmen 'carmy' berzatto x reader rating: t (for now) length: 1,857 words content: mild cursing summary: what are neighbours for if not for borrowing a cup of flour when you're in need? a/n: thank you for being so gentle with me as i put these words out into the world! there's something really fun and intimate about the small, maybe mundane day-to-day things and i'm glad that's getting across. the little things. anyway, the brain rot continues... and so does the tension. read part one link to ao3 here!

No other packages were mistakenly sent to your door since the last one, although there were a couple of stray letters that slipped past. It only gave you another chance to talk to Carmy, though, and you weren't exactly displeased about it. You'd told him what you decided to do with the purple cauliflower — roasted and puréed into a soup with crispy sage on top, of course — and how much your elderly neighbour enjoyed it. And he told you how sad he was to not have gotten a jar delivered to his door, not even a taste.

Next time, the words flew from your mouth without a second thought, a promise of something more that made the both of you smile. An unspoken understanding about whatever was blooming between you two. Amicable friendship, maybe, though the way his eyes made your heart skip a beat had you hoping it was something else.

It wasn't a standing date. Not really. You knew if you told yourself it was, you'd only end up disappointed when you didn't see your neighbour at the market, but it'd been a few weeks since the very first time you did and at this point, it was almost clockwork. You were convinced — and even argued with him — that you always got to the market first, but that was only because you'd never spotted those soft curls or bright blues when you arrived. It was only when you looked up from picking herbs or sorting a bouquet from the flower buckets that he was already standing there next to you. Carmy, on the other hand, wouldn't budge on the fact that he always arrived right as the market opened, some stalls still setting up when he came, and that was the sole reason he found you so easily.

Because he was there first.

Oh, and because he always had a coffee for you in his hand. That part was much harder to debate.

It'd only taken a couple market trips to become acquainted with one another's drink order. It started with being the first stop after you'd run into each other, the same vendor who'd come to know you both as regulars separately. And then, Carmy started showing up with your drink ready, and there was an intimacy to it that made you uncomfortable. Insisting on paying him back, insisting to get the next one. But he never took your offer for money nor did he give you much opportunity to buy it first, and your discomfort soon turned into fondness.

It was a little thing, a tiny detail of your day, but it set the tone — and meant more than you could possibly express to someone who was just supposed to be your neighbour.

You found other ways to pay him back, though. You made the purple cauliflower soup again, this time with extra serving just for him. He had no notes for you and you wondered if he was just being polite or if he truly enjoyed it that much. Each night, he'd go to the restaurant and cook for everyone else but when was the last time anyone cooked for him? This was the thought lingering in the back of your mind anytime you made anything, including now as you worked on measuring the dry ingredients for an old cookie recipe you'd been craving.

Only to find that, because you were thinking of Carmy, you didn't have enough flour.

Only to find that, because you were thinking of Carmy, you were knocking on his door.

"Hi." He had an arm up against the doorframe, leaning on it, ocean blues scanning you from head to toe. "You okay?"

"Huh?"

"You, uh, you've got…" he chuckled softly, "a little something. D'you mind?"

"I— no?" Your words were barely above a whisper, your attention stolen by the way he swept his tongue along his lower lip and made them shine.

It wasn't until Carmy's hand stretched out, a tender brush of his knuckles and then his thumb along your cheek and so dangerously close to your mouth, that your gaze finally locked with his again.

And what a mistake that was because he held your stare as he brought his thumb to his mouth, sucking the tip of it with a smile. "Baking?"

"I… was, yeah. I am."

"Do I get to be your taste tester?"

There was a beat of silence as your mind slowly tried to catch up to your body. "I'll make a neighbour's dozen, don't worry."

"A neighbour's… dozen?"

"Like a baker's dozen, but—"

"No, I know," he smiled wryly, "but what if I want more than just one?"

"Greedy, Carmen." You teased.

His chin dipped into his chest, those tufts of brown curls moving as he did and sending a strand falling against his temple. That dimple on his cheek deepened, and you swore you watched as his skin turned from pale to pink.

"A neighbour's dozen will be an extra twelve just for you."

Carmy's eyes flicked up while his head was still slanted down, the shimmer of mirth in them undeniable. "Deal."

"Deal."

"Okay."

"Only if—"

"Ah, so there are terms." He lifted his head and pressed his cheek against the doorframe, the arm just above curled around it flexing with the motion and god, how did he manage to look so effortlessly handsome?

You bit down on your lip, drawing it in with a smile that feigned innocence. "Unfortunately, I ran out of flour, and I was hoping my next door neighbour might have some to lend me."

Carmy didn't react. You thought maybe you'd read the situation all wrong, that maybe showing up at his door and asking for things was breaching some kind of unwritten agreement you had or crossing a line you hadn't known existed. You'd been about to open your mouth to take it back when a grin split his lips, Carmy pushing his door open wider and gesturing for you to come in.

"What— what was that, dramatic pause?"

"Had to build up the suspense a little," he laughed softly, "you, uh, did you really think I wouldn't?"

You blinked back rapidly a few times, shock turning into amusement with every step you took further into his apartment. "There was a chance, yes. What if you didn't have any?"

"Then we'd go get some."

The answer was quick, easy, as if it were the only answer in the entire world, and it made you falter in your tracks.

The layout of his space was similar to yours, only flipped, and yet you couldn't help but look around anyway. Pockets of his apartment felt untouched while others felt wholly lived in. The couch, clearly worn in and used, along with the coffee table littered with papers, pens, markers, a notebook and some glasses. There was hardly anything hanging from his walls but he did have a bookshelf, mostly full with spines you couldn't make out this far away.

"You can, um, you can have it."

You turned to look at Carmy, now standing in front of you with an entire bag of flour in his hands. "Oh, no, I just need a—"

"I don't bake anyway. I just, you know, cook."

"And you don't need flour for that?"

"I'll come knocking at your door if I do."

"Are you sure, Carmy?"

"M'sure." It was only flour, you told yourself, taking it from his hands without missing the way his fingers grazed over yours in the exchange. "Only if—"

"Ah, more terms."

One hand darted up into his hair, mussing the brown curls and you could only wish that you'd been the one to do that for him. To feel how soft they'd be as you untangled them or massaged his scalp after a long day.

"M'just kidding. I'm happy with, uh, with our original terms."

You held up the bag with a wide smile before tucking it into the crook of your arm. "Thank you. You're a life saver. A cookie saver, really."

"Yeah, of course."

As much as you wanted to stay here with him longer, you weren't exactly sure that would be appropriate. Sure, seeing your neighbour and keeping each other company at the market was one thing, but hanging out in his space was another. Right? And if Carmy really wanted you to, he'd ask, but he said nothing more as you started to walk back toward the door, flour in hand.

Once you were standing in the hallway again, you spun on a heel to face him, only to find him so incredibly close. So close that the bag of flour knocked right into his chest, your palms splaying out over the carved muscle you could feel hiding beneath the thin fabric of his shirt. "I— so—"

"No, I'm so—"

"No, no. It's—"

"It's okay." He murmured, one hand covering yours and giving it a tight squeeze. Your heart squeezed in tandem, constricting so tight that it ached and stole the next breath from your lungs. "You okay?" Another tattooed hand snaked around your middle and flattened at your back, as if to steady your balance.

And while you might have been standing stick straight, there was no denying the way your knees felt weak and how your frame rocked forward ever so slightly, your heart thumping loudly behind your ribcage like it might lurch itself in the direction of Carmy's.

"Yeah, m'good. Thanks again."

"Yeah."

One second was all it took for the reality to wash down upon you, the one second it took for him to drop his hands and tuck them into his pockets. "See you around?"

"Okay." Willing your feet to move despite how heavy they felt, you eventually made your way down the hall, wiggling the handle to push into your apartment.

"Okay." Carmy called out, and it wasn't until you were inside your own apartment that you finally heard the door click moments before your own did.

Now that you'd gotten to know more about your neighbour, he wasn't just Carmen Berzatto, curly-haired blue-eyed boy-next-door with chicken scratch for writing and a fleeting dimple you wanted to see again.

He was more than that.

You set the flour down onto your kitchen counter and counted down from ten, inhaling deep breaths in through your nose and exhaling out through your mouth. And with every second that passed, you thought of all the different things you'd learned about him over the number of weeks.

Ten. Carmen Berzatto, double espresso connossieur. Nine. Carmen Berzatto, a subtle floral expert who always encouraged you to put an extra bunch of baby's breath in your bouquet. Eight. Carmen Berzatto, chef extraordinaire, with a sweet tooth he liked to hide. Seven. Carmen Berzatto, gym rat, because why else would he have arms like that, that distracting vein trailing down the centre of his bicep to his forearm? Six. Carmen Berzatto, thoughtful and kind neighbour, with marker stained tattooed hands that were always willing to help.

In through your nose and out through your mouth. Five, four, three, two, one.

Counting all the different ways you were so. utterly. screwed.

Some of my safe foods/meals just for myself to keep track of!

Popcorn! Air popped without any butter or salt is around 30 cals per cup! unseasoned popcorn just tastes better than popcorn with butter imo <3

Sugar free gum bc duh! I really like the watermelon flavored gums cuz they taste soso good and they fill my sweet tooth!

These low cal cookies! 50 cals each, love baking these and pairing them with black coffee <3

Cauliflower rice! 27 cals per cup, and super filling! I dont usually eat it by itself, I like to mix it with some protein or veggies!

Rice cakes bc you know the drill, 35 cals each yum yum, I usually pair plain rice cakes with greek yogurt and a few of these stevia-sweetened dark chocolate chips!

Diet Arizona Green Tea! Tbh just any diet drinks, but this ones a personal fan fav! 0 cals, as all drinks should be <3

Shirataki noodles! Tons of fiber, only 5 cals, and filling! Make sure to look up a good way to prep them! I usually boil and stir fry them before eating them!

Boiled eggs! 78 cals each, but still super good for you <3

Teas, teas, and more teas! Theres a tea for everything from metabolism speeding to sleep aid, drink some tea!

Greek Yogurt! This isn't a revelation I've figured out by myself ofc but still! 100 cals per cup, and super healthy! Plus its a great substitute in a lot of cooking!!!!

Canaloupe! 19 calories for a WHOLE wedge! A whole medium sized canaloupe is 180 cals!

Pickles! 7 cals each and suuuuper yummy imo <3 cucumbers are also a major safe food of mine I have them almost every day for a snack!

Soup!!!!! Tomato soup has around 80-100 cals for a whole bowl and its so yummy imo!!!!

Casabella peppers! (yall know those little peppers at in-n-out?) 10 cals each, literally any peppers are my favs, but my friends love to go to in-n-out together with me and I always love getting a diet coke and some casabellas to munch on <3

Chicken! Just in general! 120 for a whole chicken breast is the best thing ever <3

Almond milk! I've always been lactose sensitive so I've never genuinely had regular milk, plus almond milk is 30 cals per cup and full of calcium which is super important for hair and nails!

Miso Soup! My dad's made this stuff for me since I was a wee little kid, its just one of my favorite foods, period! When i found out it was only 50 cals per cup I was absolutely THRILLED

Healthy Choice power bowl microwaved meals. Oh my goodness absolute godsend! 170 for a whole DINNER!!!! Super filling, high protein, literally just put it in the microwave and bam omgggg its so nice to have these when I need them <3

Strawberries, Watermelon, blueberries! Oh my! <3

Low cal versions of my favorite meals! I've been experimenting with a bunch of low calorie recipes of different stuff and they've all been great! If you like cooking, it can be a great way to keep busy and keep with your goals! My favs so far are low cal pancakes, low cal tortilla wraps, low cal margarita pizza, etc!

I'll add more as I discover more! Stay safe <3

planning out this menu for next week so of course thinking about the ghouls and their kitchen/food habits

dew loves sweet, crunchy treats. kettle corn, frozen chocolates, chocolate covered nuts. anything sweet that will leave a trail of crumbs will do. what he hates, however, is dishes, so he'll do anything possible to avoid making more, including using a paper towel as a makeshift plate (this of course leads to more mess, and mountain has nearly banned him from the space on several occasions)

rain loves spicy foods. ordering thai? he's requesting level 5 spicy, with extra chili paste on the side. loves to chase spice-intolerant dew around offering kisses after. he has too many teeth, so he won't touch stringy foods like celery. in the kitchen, he will clean as he goes, but never remembers where to put the spatulas or whisks so good luck figuring out which drawer he plopped them in

mountain also has a sweet tooth, but more for cakes and cookies. his baking is rivaled only by sunshine, and they'll tackle the most difficult recipes together to make actual magic. also makes the best ✨️special✨️ treats with his home-grown stash. extremely clean and organized; everyone knows better than to bother him in the kitchen, choosing to sit and observe at the island instead. if they're extra good, he'll slide them a sample

swiss loves savory and crunchy snacks. chips, pretzels, extra toasty cheeze-its. mountain made him savory trail mix once and now he asks for a pound of it every yule. will keep the kitchen pretty tidy, but has an unfortunate habit of forgetting to close the cabinets he opens and has bonked himself on more than one occasion. also known to make anything into leftover sandwiches that have no right to be as tasty as they are

aether is a grill dad. grilling is peaceful for him, plus it keeps his hands warm. loves a good classic burger, or a grilled chicken salad, definitely a savory guy. there could be a foot of snow outside, and aeth will be lighting the grill up for dinner without complaint. he's still learning to use the smoker, ever the perfectionist, but no one is complaining about eating the "messed up" brisket that doesn't quite fall apart when you poke it

aurora is the soup queen. loves eating soup, making soup; all soup, all the time. the den has a lot of mouths to feed so mountain made her a special step stool to help her see more easily into the massive kitchen stock pot while she cooks. her favorite to eat (but least favorite to make) is cauliflower soup, it's creamy and delicious, but every time she uses an immersion blender the ceiling gets as much soup as she does

sunshine also loves baking. her favorite is a classic raspberry french macaron and she has perfected the technique - it's impressive. phantom loves to watch her cook in particular, she's so clean and precise, they hope one day to hold a measuring cup like she does. sunshine is a bit more patient in the kitchen, showing whoever is watching little tips and tricks. wears the cutest floral apron, almost always covered in flour handprints

cumulus is all about fruits and berries, loves citrus and blackberries the best. mountain painstakingly cares for a little tangerine tree, just for her. her favorite foods to make are comfort foods, and she always makes the macaroni and cheese for big group dinners. everyone begs for it (and rain doesn't even add hot sauce), but she is definitely one of the messier cooks. everyone knows she has been in the kitchen when there are wrappers left about, little twist ties on the counter. the pack doesn't mind terribly, not when her dishes could cure any emotional wound

cirrus is all about cold, sweet snacks. loves ice cream and popsicles, the freezer is well stocked. her favorite is orange pushpops, and she will take exactly zero questions about it. works with great efficiency in the kitchen, and will often be the one planning dinner party menus with mountain. that, and which special snack he should make next. her specific cooking talent is bread, in particular sourdough. she made a cinnamon bread once that made dew cream his pants, he still hasn't lived it down

phantom burned water once, never tried cooking again. loves to wear a thrifted shrek shirt, "in the morning, im making waffles." they aren't, they barely use the toaster, but they'll make puppy eyes at mountain until he sighs and starts getting the batter ready. will eat anything anyone feeds them, but has an extra soft spot for those cloyingly sweet white puffy sugar cookies with bright colored frosting and sprinkles. the first time they had one was halloween, and they insisted on saving all the bat sprinkles

I made this for the lovely @jokerislandgirl32 as a thank you for the Rex and Yssa oneshots. I feel terrible it took this long to make; I've been dealing with block.

Sweet Treat: Zach refuses to share his cookies with anyone. We see it with the pigeons, so why would he share with people? Well, that's different with Violet. That has been his love language with her since they met. He realized he loved her truly when he gave her the bigger half of his black and white cookie. Seeing that smile on her face made him feel...good.

Picky Eater: Zach is a very picky eater. He has many comfort foods like cookies, toast, and tomato soup. However, Violet finds a way to incorporate some other foods into his diet with some help from a few friends.

From making fried chicken out of cauliflower to blending some broccoli into some macaroni and cheese, she has found many ways to give Zach more variety in his diet. His favorite ended up being pasta verdé since it was not too spicy. It was also good since this yummy pasta is made with chili poblano, serrano peppers, and cilantro.

No More Tears: Zach hates nature with a passion. He could care less if the earth becomes a floating rock in space. However, when he mentioned eating some wild turkeys for Thanksgiving, he noticed his lovely wife was on the brink of tears. He immediately back petaled since she found the fat birds adorable; the last thing he wanted to see was his lovely wife cry.

That's all I could really think of! I will make more once I get some more ideas!

[quibbs126]

All right, so as said last post, this was a request from @a-weird-bean-bag, and this is Chowder Cookie

For those who don’t recognize the bottom character, this is @a-weird-bean-bag’s character Goat Milk Cookie

You know fun fact, this is the 2nd OC x Canon I got, and the first was I think either the day before or earlier the same day. Haven’t finished that one though

So I think the process for this name was that I saw the two of these characters and was like “oh hey isn’t there some recipe in Breath of the Wild that uses seafood and milk?” and so I went looking on a website I knew for the name of it. Note that I know nothing about seafood, my family doesn’t eat it and we just generally stay away from it. Anyways, so the thing I was thinking of was trout soup, which I’m now realizing is from Stardew, not Breath of the Wild. Okay so it went Trout Soup from Stardew, which didn’t really work, so I went looking for anything that mixed seafood and milk, but couldn’t find anything. Then I thought about that BOTW recipe and looked it up and it was Clam Chowder. So I looked up chowder and it turns out it doesn’t necessarily have to clams, so I just went with Chowder Cookie

As stated above, it’s because it mixes seafood and milk. So, simple enough

Chowder:

Okay, looking at it now, maybe I made her skin too dark, but ah well, it’s probably fine. Anyways moving on to her hair

So I know Caviar and Goat Milk only have partially curly hair instead of Chowder’s entirely curly, and she probably looks closer to Cauliflower, but that’s just what I went with, and I liked it. I made her hair lighter than either of the two since it was supposed to be the soup, and I didn’t think Goat Milk’s hair color necessarily cut it as light enough

Also the pink and green bits are supposed to be like, things in the soup, since chowder doesn’t just seem to be a base soup, it has other ingredients in it. My idea is that she had more in her hair when she was younger, but maybe she picked them out to seem more professional or something. I also tried to make it seem somewhat liquid-y, but I don’t know how successful that was

I had a lot to say about her hair, but not much on the outfit front. I kind of just tried to come up with something based on Creme Republic characters, specifically the Lower City designs. She’s supposed to be a trader, so I wanted to make her look somewhat professional, but also she’s not into wearing particularly fancy clothes, so I just kind of went with this (though she probably also has more formal clothes, this is just day to day). I suppose it’s fine

Also you may notice the tiny horns. They were honestly a pretty last minute inclusion, hence why they look like they were kind of tacked on. But also I’m kind of fine with them the way they are

I was also thinking of giving her freckles like Goat Milk’s old design, but they didn’t pan out

But yeah, overall I like the design well enough. Maybe not one of my best but still good. Maybe doesn’t look enough like Caviar though

Anyways, so let’s move on to her character

So as I’ve stated before, she’s in the maritime trading business. I think I got this idea because Caviar’s captain of a ship (and I think their navy), and my brain was like “boats also = trading”, which may have been spurred by my recent history lectures which have been discussing the road to the American Revolution, and we got to the shutdown of Boston Harbor which affected merchants. But also I looked back at Goat Milk’s info and saw he’s a trader too, so it all works out

Generally she’s a very business oriented person, with a drive to get things done as quickly and effectively as possible. As such she can be a bit stern and not the most pleasant to be around if you work with her. She’s nicer if you meet her outside of work, she’s just trying to get things done

She also can have a bit of a short temper and doesn’t really take setbacks or mishaps well. I mean, she’ll find ways to work around them, but when she gets bad news she doesn’t react the best in the moment. Likely it will involve her swearing. Sometimes excessively

Also she likes chowder, as shown in the left sketch. I had something else there, but I thought I should show her being chill so she doesn’t seem like a completely angry person. She isn’t, it’s just that she gets pissed off a bit easily

Anyways I think that’s about it. I feel like I’m forgetting something but I don’t know what. Ah well, I can edit it in later if I remember. But yeah, I hope you enjoy her!

Oh and also, I didn’t know where to put this, but what actually got me to get around to drawing her was making this rough sketch. I actually did a few of these, and maybe it’ll help me actually get around to drawing them more, since it was pretty fun and I feel like drawing the other two I did sometime

Here was the initial sketch. It’s small so I just put it with the rest of the drawing so you’re not looking at a largely blank canvas

So, I've been thinking on Thatch's sad bean hour time and here's a decent one i think

Now, as head cook and commander, Thatch takes his job very seriously. With a crew this large, it's not hard to get lost in the details, which is where his division comes in to help lessen the, at times, overwhelming workload.

Still there are some things that he personally likes keeping an eye on, to the best of his ability.

Allergen safe work areas for particular foods is key among them.

The kitchens are massive, of course, which is the only way he's able to ensure certain foods go no where near particular areas. It took some clever work arounds in some cases, but it works!

Thankfully, meals are rather self serve style, so he usually can relax after prepping and cooking is finished when it comes to cross contamination. His division is well trained, after all, and utterly serious about food health and safety.

So, he's enjoying dinner, sitting beside Izou as they both gossip about interesting, new things that popped up recently in the papers or on board. Visibly pleased when he spots Nikia make her way to the food and wave to get her attention after she gets her plate.

"She's so cute when she does that." Thatch murmurs, referring to the little fluffing her wings do when something abruptly catches her attention. She jogs over and sits across from them in an empty spot, most not wanting to eat directly beside any commander, let alone Ace. Her wing briefly brushing across his back in quiet greeting before she considers her food.

Thatch notes, still quite pleased, that it was pretty healthy fare. Teriyaki chicken and cauliflower rice with raw veggies, a small serving of clear soup, and two cookies as a treat. Healthier than usual, but he was hardly complaining. It was surprising though, that she didn't eat regular rice, considering how much she usually liked it with certain meals.

"Good picks." Thatch said cheerfully, watching as she smeared the sauced chicken over the cauliflower--apparently intending to eat it as she would white rice. "Wanted to try something a little new or have you had it before?" he asked curiously, watching as she scooped up a healthy serving of cauliflower and chicken before eating it.

"What? The rice? It's just small, still white though, isn't it? Or something like that--"

Her face immediately scrunched up as she started choking, confusion clear as she swallowed hard. Face red as she blinked furiously, trying to control her breathing.

"F-Fuck, that was spicy as shit! Where'd that come from?!" Thatch frowned, looking down at the food.

While he knew she had a sensitive palette, nothing on her plate was particularly spicy.

She was wheezing as he stole a bite of chicken and cauliflower rice.

It certainly didn't taste spicy--though he'd apologize for the theft regardless.

"There's no spice besides teriyaki, baby. Just chicken and cauliflower." Thatch mused, focusing on her face again only to realize she was struggling to breath. Lips tinted faintly blue, wings trembling with distress.

"Ah. Get Marco. O-Or epi." Nikia blinked away tears and swallowed with greater difficulty.

Thatch and Izou froze in horror as they realized what was happening for only a moment, but luckily Ace wasn't passed out and quickly reacted.

"Marco! Here!"

He was over in an instant, hand on fire as he gently placed his palm over her throat.

"Right, let's get you to the med bay--this will only hold it, not treat it." Marco advised gently, helping Nikia leave. "Got your inhaler--ah, good! We'll use that after we treat the allergic reaction."

Nikia was in good hands, thankfully.

Thatch, however, was spiraling. It didn't matter what Izou told him, Thatch could only replay the moment in his mind when Nikia ate something she was incredibly allergic to without realizing what it was--

right in front of him.

Nikia, on the other hand, was fine after some medication and ordered to take it easy for the rest of the day. No running, flying, or eating foods she didn't recognize.

She returned to her room and got ready for bed, quite exhausted from the startling event. Settling down for sleep when there was a knock at her door. Confused, she answered, finding Thatch swaying in her doorway.

He was utterly despondent, eyes red, reeking of booze as he whimpered apologies. Arms quick to wrap around her in a tight, drunken embrace.

"Oh, b-baby cakes--'m sorry--I should have kn-known--knew--was right there--" Thatch whined and she was quick to pull him into her room. With difficultly, being mostly blinded by his arms shoving her face into his chest, she steered him to sit on her bed.

"H-Hey, Thatch, it's alright! I'm okay!" she reassured him, rubbing his back as he shook his head and kept mumbling apologies. "I should have realized it wasn't actual rice--cauliflower is like, the literal only thing I know I'm allergic to. And usually it's just spicy but I guess it got worse without me realizing it--ah, beans, that's not helpful is it?" she balked as he started weeping, eyes watery pools as he cupped her face.

"You couldn't breathe, baby. You couldn't breathe because I didn't make sure the food wasn't mixed." Thatch breathed out.

"Hey--look at me--it's not your fault. I'm breathing fine now, see? Everything is alright. It's not your fault. I don't blame you. Feel that? I can breathe just fine now. Because I felt safe eating something new--because you helped make it. And you don't make it weird if I decide not to eat something after trying it. Normally, I would have not eaten it at all--or eaten it while alone." Nikia reassured him gently, sliding one of his hands to her throat.

He froze, fingers pressing into the delicate skin that throbbed with life. Trusted so implicitly with her life, even now, that she openly let him touch her neck. Which he knew she hated. But his palm was there, pressed against the side of her throat as she breathed steadily.

Slowly, Thatch slid his hand further behind her neck. Watching as she didn't even flinch, not even as he used the leverage to pull her into his arms. Lifting her into his lap to hold onto her better, bury his face in her hair. He collapsed against the bed as tears kept falling. Now more from a place of relief than anxiety.

It was his literal worst nightmare as a chef.

Bad enough to trigger her asthma--which she apparently had.

But she still trusted him.

Still let him hold her like this. Shifting only to rest more comfortably on his chest, wings tucking in like the edges of a thick duvet. Feathers brushing against him gently as she rubbed the sides of his ribs in comforting motions.

Izou found them sometime later, sighing as his voice crept out from the doorway.

"I'm so sorry, sweetheart. I can take him to bed now." Izou offered.

"It's alright." Her voice vibrated against his chest as one wing lifted up. "He was scared. Scared me too, today. You can join if you turn off the light." she offered.

There was a moment of hesitation and the room was cast into silken darkness. His body gently shoved further up the bed by firm hands until a familiar body slipped in beside him.

"Ki?"

"...yeah, 'Zo?"

"I'm glad you're okay... please don't do that again, though." Izou asked softly.

"Don't plan on it." she snorted before settling back down.

From that day forward, Thatch carried a little case with emergency epipens on his person at all times. And it was a while before he stopped hovering over Nikia when she got food, quietly listing out the food she considered and major ingredients. Just in case, Thatch gently steered her away from anything closely related to cauliflower, such as brussel sprouts and cabbage.

When he gets to be a little too much, Nikia gently lifts up his hand and places it on her neck. A silent reminder that makes Thatch's stomach flip with a mix of emotions.

He just never wants to see her like that again.

artisan item checklist
