Seasons with Shouto (❀´ ˘ `❀) *ੈ✩‧₊˚

₊˚⊹♡

Springs with Shouto are sweet, like the tender caress of his hands. Greeting him at the train station with a soft peck on his cheek and walking to school under a canopy of fresh, pink flowers. The sakura trees sway in the wind while you and him walk hand in hand, the soft yet chilly breeze a remnant of winter. Springs with Shouto include walking through lush tulip fields with every color, picnic dates at the local park, and spending the entire Sunday at Disney Land. Plucking cherry blossom petals from each other’s hair and taking selfies together with Mount Fuji in the distance. A lingering kiss pressed to the back of your hand, voluntarily tying your shoelace, holding your shopping bags.

Springs with Shouto are sweet, just like him.

₊˚⊹♡

Summers with Shouto are sparkly, like bold and beautiful fireworks at the summer festivals. Wearing matching yukatas and dancing with sparklers in each hand. Late-night cramming for tomorrow’s exam–a cool hand resting on your forehead and the other holding a box of strawberry milk. Summers with Shouto include ice cream dates (he’s memorized your order), making silly paintings afterschool underneath the oak tree on campus, and picking strawberries for both of you to eat back at the dorms. Making quick midnight runs to the conbini across the street to buy the last of the cold soba and pudding and peppering his face with kisses. Watching his face erupt into a big, beautiful smile, a smile that is only reserved for you (you don’t know that, though).

Summers with Shouto are sparkly, just like his smile.

₊˚⊹♡

Autumns with Shouto are adorable, like the orange cat that you saw at the park. Wrapping his warm, maroon scarf around your neck gently, scolding you for not bringing one yourself (he’s very happy that you like it and loves that you are wearing it. Besides, he can never stay mad at his angel forever). Holding hands while walking through the colorful maple trees, all adorned in red, orange, and yellow. Baking cookies and teaching him how to make cinnamon rolls while your friends and classmates take pictures of the two of you “hogging” the kitchen. Autumns with Shouto include dressing up as vampires for the Halloween party and leaving a bold, red kiss mark on his cheek with your scarlet lipstick (he likes it, despite all of the teasing). Movie dates in your dorm room, his head tucked in the crook of your neck, his eyes wandering to your focused face as you watch the movie (you catch him staring and think that he is the cutest).

Autumns with Shouto are adorable, just like him.

₊˚⊹♡

Winters with Shouto are warm, like the heat of the fireplace in your home. Not wanting to leave Shouto alone in the dorms, you invited him to come home with you. Freshly made roasted turkey is on the dining table, the smell of kona coffee cake in the oven drifting in the air. Your family is welcoming and jolly: they cleaned the house (a miracle), your siblings didn’t bicker, and most of all, they welcomed Shouto with big smiles and open arms. The living room looks cozy due to the Christmas lights on the tree and the vibrant fire. Your home is cozy and feels like a home. Shouto supposes that this must be what a functional household’s home is like.

But where is his home? For Shouto, home isn’t the building, it isn’t where he grew up, it isn’t where he currently resides in. Home is where he feels love, comfort, joy, peace. Home for Shouto is where he feels warm. Home for Shouto is you.

Winters with Shouto are warm, and Shouto thinks that winters with you are warm, too. 

And when you both are feeling extra cold, you’ll sneak upstairs to your childhood bedroom. The smell of nostalgia hits your nose as you turn on the fairy lights to add to the homey atmosphere. The both of you will tuck in close and look out the window, admiring the soft snow falling from the sky. At 00:00 am, he’ll press his lips on yours and quietly whisper:

“Merry Christmas, my love and home.”

₊˚⊹♡

A/N: Hello everyone (◍•ᴗ•◍) Guess who woke up and wanted to write tooth-rotting fluff (I almost bawled my eyes outwriting this <3) I hope you enjoyed this mini work of mine!

News about Strawberry Magic: the epilogue will come out maybe next week if I have the time between school and sports. I would also like to try and organize my tumblr once that is up, so please bear with me (..���ᴗ◝..) As always, thank you so much for reading my works and I hope that you enjoy them all ^^

hiii could you do something with rafe and a beach day please? love ur fics sm ❤️❤️❤️

thank you lovely <3 i am living for these fluff concepts, KEEP EM COMIN xxxx

╰┈➤ beach day with soft!rafe hc’s

warnings: a tad nsfw if you squint, fluff overload

: ̗̀➛ rafe was like an excited puppy when y/n finally told him what she wanted to do for her birthday this year.

: ̗̀➛ she wanted to spend the full day at the beach.

: ̗̀➛ why? he had no idea, but if that was all she wanted to do he was going to make sure it was the best day ever.

: ̗̀➛ he’d wake her up at first light, having planned out the whole day.

: ̗̀➛ “hey birthday girl, time to get up..”

: ̗̀➛ “baby, it’s three in the morning..”

: ̗̀➛ “yeah, we’re going to see the sunrise, come on..”

: ̗̀➛ and while she got up and got dressed, he’d pack the car.

: ̗̀➛ he’d make sure to bring everything they would need to spend the day at the beach.

: ̗̀➛ a cooler for snacks and drinks, a disposable barbecue, fire wood, blankets, towels, changes of clothes, one of his hoodies because he knew she preferred his.

: ̗̀➛ and lastly, a birthday cake, made specially for her.

: ̗̀➛ when he told her he’d planned every second of the day, he really meant it.

: ̗̀➛ once he’d finished packing, he headed upstairs to collect her.

: ̗̀➛ “c’mon angel, let me carry you to the car”

: ̗̀➛ he carried his sleepy princess to his range rover, making sure she was comfortable and buckled in safely.

: ̗̀➛ the half hour drive to the beach went by quickly as she dozed off in the passenger side.

: ̗̀➛ rafe chose a small beach on the island, one where they wouldn’t be bothered too much.

: ̗̀➛ putting his car in park, he peppered kisses over her face as she stirred awake.

: ̗̀➛ “birthday celebrations start now pretty girl, c’mon”

: ̗̀➛ he chuckled as she stumbled out of the car in a sleepy daze.

: ̗̀➛ early mornings were quite chilly in kildare, so she’d opted for a pair of his sweatpants and a hoodie over the top of her bikini.

: ̗̀➛ he held her hand graciously as she followed closely behind him, careful not to fall.

: ̗̀➛ she settled on top of a towel while rafe set everything up around them, leaving a few pieces in the car that they wouldn’t need until later.

: ̗̀➛ he’d even brought pillows, and while she adored his thoughtfulness, she dreaded having to get the sound out of them once they got home.

: ̗̀➛ finally situated, they cuddled on top of the towels and blankets, watching the stars as the waves crashed further down the beach.

: ̗̀➛ instead of watching the sunrise, he chose to watch her instead, his heart fluttering as the bright gleam reflected in her eyes.

: ̗̀➛ “what are you looking at?”

: ̗̀➛ “you”

: ̗̀➛ once the sun had claimed it’s spot in the sky, the heat began to settle over the outerbanks, resulting in y/n frantically removing her comfy clothes.

: ̗̀➛ “oh my god, too hot! too hot! m’gonna die”

: ̗̀➛ rafe eyed the pink bikini she’d chosen for the day, observing how it hugged and complimented her curves.

: ̗̀➛ “do you have a boner?”

: ̗̀➛ “angel, i always have a boner when im with you..”

: ̗̀➛ around eleven, the sun had reached its peak, provoking y/n to apply the sun cream rafe had brought.

: ̗̀➛ “here, let me do it princess”

: ̗̀➛ “rafe, im a big girl, i can do it myself”

: ̗̀➛ “shh, todays your special day, you’re not lifting a finger”

: ̗̀➛ y/n moaned slightly as rafe straddled her bum, massaging her back.

: ̗̀➛ “baby, if you don’t stop that im going to fuck you right here..”

: ̗̀➛ lots of beach sex.

: ̗̀➛ after a while of sunbathing and reading, the pair decided to go for a swim.

: ̗̀➛ y/n tied her hair back as she waded through the light waves, enjoying the warmth of the water.

: ̗̀➛ rafe dove in immediately, thrashing about like a child.

: ̗̀➛ y/n looked around, frantic, when rafe disappeared beneath the surface.

: ̗̀➛ shrieking as he suddenly pulled her under by her legs.

: ̗̀➛ “you’re an asshole, you know that right?”

: ̗̀➛ “yeah…but you love it”

: ̗̀➛ making out in the ocean was a must.

: ̗̀➛ “you know, there’s nobody here yet..” she whispered suggestively.

: ̗̀➛ rafe didn’t even need to respond, immediately pulling her bikini bottoms aside.

: ̗̀➛ they spent the whole day like that, in and out of the sea, sunbathing, reading, eating.

: ̗̀➛ by nightfall, they’d watch the sunset together, y/n inbetween rafe’s legs, resting against him.

: ̗̀➛ “i’ve had the best day, thank you rafe”

: ̗̀➛ “anything for you angel”

i have a similar situation - i'm struggling to make my own correspondences, and i'm trying to draw from my pagan practices as well as my ancestral asian practice. i'm having a bit of difficulty with systematically going through a small dictionary, but maybe this can provide some ideas (and of course, if you have any critiques, i'm totally open to that as well!)

I usually just pick up any reference book and choose whatever I like the sound of and can get my hands on. I have a copy of The Encyclopedia of Natural Magic by J.M. Greer which I use a lot because it has minimal tangential waffle and is neatly laid out. I like Llewellyn's Charms, Spells and Formulas for the same reason.

For culturally relevant things, I like chinasage which has a symbol index of various flora and fauna. I'm not aware of similar resources for other parts of East Asia, apologies.

While I do think that different materials are endowed with particular virtues, I also think this is another area of magic where people get a little obsessed with categorisation.

It's not like Pokemon where lavender has +10 sleep magic points and chamomile has +12, or roses are exclusively for love and attraction and black pepper is only for cursing and banishing, and so on... It's a little more like cooking where there are many possibilities of creating a satisfying meal and yet it still depends on the individual tastes of who's partaking in it.

Cypress, yew and asphodel are strongly associated with the underworld; mugwort and wormwood are associated with night-time and dreams, but these plants will still die without the light of day. Sunflowers and oranges are very solar, but they still have roots that reach into the earth to anchor them. Chilli peppers are incredibly fiery, but they still die without water. Yarrow is for youth, love and beauty, except when you're allergic to it.

Every herb is a herb for protection, and wealth, and attraction, and fertility, and banishing – and so on, because every plant has its own strategy to survive, thrive and proliferate.

(And that's just plants, not even touching on the properties of minerals, animals, elements, colours and so on.)

They do have their specialisations, yes, and I wouldn't use mint to call on the element of fire, nor would I use coffee beans in a sleep spell... What I'm trying to say is: they're all multi-faceted, so set aside the reference books now and then, and just observe and make connections intuitively.

Reference books might tell you that basil or cinnamon or citrus (or whatever) have wealth-drawing properties.

But grass, plain old common grass, completely dominates the greenery of the earth. Crops like rice, wheat, barley and corn are staple foods that support the world's population. And dandelions, with their solar and ouranic qualities and how quickly they proliferate across an open field, are oft overlooked.

These never get listed in books, yet their literal and symbolic powers are undeniable.

Put these – grass seeds, rice grains and dandelion seeds – into a wealth working with a simple prayer. "Bless me with as much wealth as there are blades of grass on this earth, as there are grains of rice that sustain humanity, as there are dandelion seeds that fill the air in spring."

Correspondences are only part of what makes magic work. There's also your own ability and experience, the spirits you call and the relationship you have with them... I strongly favour the relationship part because reference books become less and less important, when you can just ask and the spirits will tell you what to use. Or even better when you don't have to do a spell at all, because you have spirits to take care of it in exchange for some cake.

It took me a long time to open myself up to receiving that kind of inspiration, but... honestly, don't overthink it. You know a lot of correspondences already because you interact with the world every day.

Good luck 🌿

Oh, my, god...I loved this so much! I loved the cookies you chose, the events...and oh my gosh I want a part two! (Applogies in advance if I accidently get so invested into this that I accidently make it into a series lol!) Like life at the castle how y/n is treated at th castle and so on lol

Also curious how they planned it out...or what parts were planned out...like did they ask red velvet for a favor to send cake monsters after y/n or herd the cakes towards y/n and then, once the cakes catch onto y/n's scen and start chasing, the group quickly hurries over to a spot to play music? Lmao!

Enjoy the milkshake! The first part of this is going to be clarification/ lore. Also I don’t mind writing about this ^^ it gave me an excuse to write about some honestly forgotten characters

False Ruller: Castle Life

-platonic-

Pt 1

Lore!!!

Now when I say this was planed it is planed on the witches part. The witches made Y/N cookie as normal but where able to put the chemical Oxytocin into the dough. Now oxytocin is also known as the hormone that causes love and affection.

The witches wanted to see what would happen if they baked a cookie with the literal thing that causes love and affection in them.

So on the witches part, it was planed. They made a cookie, decided to have a helper of sorts set the cookie somewhere that there’s a high density of cookies and put this oxytocin cookie in danger to see the results. This helper will check in after a while.

Now on the cookies side, it was not planed in the slightest. Clover Cookie wanted to show some other cookies a ballad he’s been writing and a cookie reaking of love came from the woods

The TLDR is that the witches made a love cookie to use as a lab rat.

Got that? Good. Let’s hop into castle life.

—————————————

Castle Life wasn’t anything special. I mean, you were confined to certen areas of the castle, like the garden and library.

You were always kept busy, weather that be by pretending to be Custard Cookie the lll’s faithful advisor, getting the occasional visit from Clover, Milk or Purple Yam or hearing the latest gossip from Chilli Pepper Cookie.

By this gossip, you had some idea what was happening outside. At the moment it was quite worrying. Like what do you mean there’s an evil sorceress trying to eradicate cookie kind?! 5 ancient hero’s??? The Crème Republic??? All of that sounds… messy…

Honestly, you wouldn’t mind not getting involved. The kingdom was one of the most peaceful places there was. Only if you could walk around and meet more cookies…

the taste of love is not just extravagant five course feasts and medium rare wagyu beef.

The taste of love is taking out the tomatoes from my omelets because I hate tomatoes.

The taste of love is cracking open walnuts and picking away the shell gently, nuts rattling in a bowl.

The taste of love is al dente pasta, not too hard, not too soft, just right.

The taste of love is perfect ratios of spices, my favorite flavors, rubbed onto tenderloin steak.

The taste of love is fresh, ripe and tart blueberries on greek yogurt, on warm, busy Monday mornings.

The taste of love is warm, soothing peppermint tea on chilly, calm Friday evenings.

The taste of love is being spoon fed warm rice with chicken curry, a gentle handkerchief brushing away the tears on my cheeks.

The taste of love is strawberry preserves poured into popsicle molds, crafted for sore throats.

the taste of love is hand tossed, heart shaped pizzas with olives as the eyes and a mushroom slice as the nose and a sliver of bell pepper as the smile.

The taste of love is chiffon cake baked from scratch, iced with the words “I love you”, crumbs melting on your tongue, the taste of triumph, the taste of support and congratulations.

The taste of love is the chef's finest ingredient.

Attention and care.

[thealphavoidofficial]

So new CRK Au idea, guess what! it’s a SWAP AU! :D

So I still gotta draw the designs down but here is a chart showing all the roles that are swapped:

And here are some fun facts before I make the actual lore and story with them :)

GingerBrave: He has scars and burn marks from his time in the Witches Castle and a Shit-Tom of trauma :), his brother Dozer had died, being burnt alive and eaten in front of him, he has Pyrophobia.

Wizard Cookie: His backstory is kinda similar to Licorice Cookies, and he has OCD

Licorice Cookie: Like OG Wizard Cookie he was baked in the Witches castle, he is rather skittish and rather attention seeking, like his OG counterpart he feels like nobody takes him seriously and always feels like he has to prove himself as a valuable member of the team, he has abandonment issues,

Crimson Velvet (Evil PV): In this Au he went with White Lily to the witches feast and fell into the Ultimate Dough instead of her, however due to mental trauma and slight amnesia from being in a slumbering state in the Void for so long she doesn’t quiet recall it that well.

Pure Vanilla: After falling into the Ultimate dough it had split him in 2, creating Crimson Velvet, after sealing him away he was teleported to the Faerie Kingdom in Beast-Yeast, where he had sacrificed most of his Half-life to strengthen the seal, going in a half-dead comatose state.

White Lily Cookie: She plays a similar role to her OG counterpart and OG Pure Vanilla, like the OG universe she does not have a Kingdom and preferred to wander the land and visit the other kingdoms, she had assisted Pure Vanilla in casting the Dark Moon Magic spell that sealed away Crimson Velvet, getting sent to the Void in the process.

StrawBerry Cookie: Much like OG Pomegranate Strawberry Cookie is very devoted to Crimson Velvet, willing to do anything for him. She also has a slight insecurity when it comes to their looks, preferring to hide her face in her veil.

Pomegranate Cookie: She is rather shy in this Au, like OG Strawberry she was baked in the Witches Castle, she prefers to hide herself in her cloak and rarely takes the hood off.

Chilly Pepper Cookie: She was found and adopted by Crimson Velvet and had her body modified with Cake parts, she sees the cake beasts as her partners in crime and performs several raids with them.

Red Velvet Cookie: After Crimson Velvet exploded The Oven he ran from the Witches Castle and into the world, having to steal to survive, soon meet and befriending a young Cake Hound, whom he named Chiffon, he has trust issues.

Dark Choco Cookie: Like in the OG universe he attack his father Dark Cacao Cookie with the Strawberry Jam sword, however after being banished he abandoned the sword immediately, instead wandering the land as a sort of Vigilante protecting villages from Cake Beasts.

Custard Cookie III: He was found as a mere infant and raised by Crimson Velvet inside of the Tower, although his Healing magic is stronger then his physical Attacks, he can be a formidable opponent in battle, do not underestimate his young and small appearance.

[sleazyjester]

We already know about Sunny's, but what are other characters' favourite things to eat? What do they like to drink?

Basil: espresso/americano/capuccino to drink, and for food something comforting and warm, like beef stew or something. he tried going vegan like a hundred times but he's not ready for the commitment. i think he would go for angel cake as a dessert, or just granola bars.

Aubrey: alcohol probably, coke on casual days and as a favourite dish i think she would really enjoy sushi or ratatouille. her favourite dessert would probably be donuts, m&ms, or peeps.

Kel: orange joe for a drink, obvi, and i feel like he would enjoy crazy american combos like bacon and waffles, deep fried anything, probably raising canes, oh and empanadas. for dessert he would probably go for... the entire breakfast menu? i'm sure he's a big waffle/pancake/torrijas fan, and also sour gummies.

Hero: probably plain ol black coffee, blueberry lemonade or sparkling water (he's one of those..), milkshakes too. For food I think he likes trying out new things from time to time so his favourites change pretty often. his go to sweets would be... fruit tarts, tiramisu or chocolate chip cookies.

Jamie: Jamie loves decaf lattes, and sodas, and for food probably some classic chicken nuggets with fries, and birthday cake flavoured sweets. they've got a huge sweet tooth, so anything would do, except hard candy.

Brent: he loves coffee and hot cocoa, especially accompanied by a treat. for food, i would say he likes jollof rice, salads with all kinds of dressings, anything beef and a lot of salty snacks. he would always snack on some chips. for sweets, i'm inclined to say lava cake with ice cream on the side. he likes chocolate bars too, like snickers and bounty. he's got a full drawer of snacks in his room because his mom wouldn't let him eat too many while growing up.

Ash: he loves coffee to the point that it's a personality trait, and he usually gets a flavoured latte. avocado toast and sunny side up eggs for breakfast, alfredo pasta and salad for lunch, and fish with vegetables for dinner, specifically salmon. for dessert, he would go for a cinnamon roll or rugelach.

think that's it. for me i love lattes and dr pepper, and for food probably something really lame like a mcchicken or chilly cheese fries or pasta. for sweets.. i don't know. everything at once. i love chocolate and anything with a soft chewy texture.

[knifeforkspoonhand]

Top left: A whole side of boneless salmon that was discounted from £24.88 to £6.06 and I'm still living off that high. I brushed on top a mix of oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, tomato powder, garlic powder and oregano. It was delicious and smelled fantastic.

Top right: The same chocolate cake as the last post except with a chocolate ganache topping as per the instructions of the recipe. It tastes much better but that's because you have ganache left over to eat. The cake is so simple and hits the spot.

Middle left: Stuffed paratha, made from about four and a half cups of plain flour, nearly two tablespoons of sunflower oil, some salt and keep adding water until it forms a dough. Leave to rest for half an hour. The stuffing I made from grating cauliflower and frying it in oil with: one bay leaf; three cardamoms; salt, turmeric, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder and ground black pepper. You portion your dough into small round balls, flatten them out with a rolling pin, putting some of the stuffing on top of one rolled dough before putting more dough on top. Continue rolling it out with the rolling pin. Cook in a non-stick pan on low heat with a lid, flipping every minute until it's cooked and takes on a little char. This is a long paragraph.

Middle right: I followed a chilli chicken recipe but with mushrooms since I didn't have chicken breast. It was really tasty with the mushrooms absorbing all the flavours in the pan. However, the chicken was notably absent from my version. I think it definitely needs something firm or with a meaty texture for it to be more rounded out. I ate it with some garlic and parsley flatbread.

Bottom: Chicken madras. In a pan with neutral oil, fry three medium blended onions with eight cloves, six cardamoms and a stick of cinnamon. You can add your garlic and ginger paste after or before the onion, I haven't noticed a change either way. Keep stirring for about few minutes, adding cumin, coriander powder, salt and chilli powder. Stir until all the colours have combined. Then, add your diced chicken breast, making sure to cover all the pieces in the paste. Add your blended tomatoes (I use store-bought passata), add sugar if they're particularly acidic and it tastes unpleasant otherwise. Cook on medium-low heat for half an hour, adding water if it reduced by too much. It gets asked for a lot.

[ucannotkillmeinawaythatmatters]

ok so I was thinking about holloweane and how they are when it comes to cooking and baking!! and in my head, holloway and duke are very different

holly and baking: 100% consistency, she makes pies and they come out the same exact same fantastic way each and every time (she's been using the same recipe for years and years, even before The Book and all her time alive allowed her to perfect her craft)

holly and cooking: follows the recipes to a t and it comes out kinda plain bc of it. (I love holly, but she's still a white woman and therefore would use white ppl recipes that call for salt and pepper to taste 😔😔) does not deviate from the recipe at all. would rather run to the store in the middle of cooking than substitute an ingredient

(deviating from something in the book could mean death and destruction. Do Not Deviate for even a second. someone's life could depend on it. the habit carries over to her baking and cooking)

duke and cooking: is so food smart. the type of food smart that adds a bit of chocolate to chilli to enhance the tomato flavor, and adds lime to things when it's too salty. will take the most random of ingredients from the fridge and make the best meal ever on the face of the earth, but could not replicate it even with a gun to his head. never ever reads recipes and just loves to add a lil of this and a lil of that. measures shit with his soul and nothing else

duke and baking: can't bake for shit. he brings a sort of loosey goosey energy the "science" of baking doesn't appreciate. again, doesn't use recipes, and can't replicate anything to save his life, so he'll add the most random of ingredients thinking it sounds about right, when it definitely was not. makes cakes with the texture of cookies and cookies that are thin as paper and sinking in the middle. it'll change each time

Master Chef SR Idia Edition “Apprentice Chef” / Personal Card Story Part 2

~Let's make stuffed peppers 2~

Kitchen

Chef Ghost: After lightly sprinkling the insides of the bell peppers with cake flour, stuff it with the seeds that you mixed earlier.

You can use other flours as a substitute, but..... It will affect the finished product, so basically just follow the recipe.

Idia: Ah, it's the same principle as with using an interchangeable part that works fine, but the genuine parts are still the best. I completely understand.

Chef Ghost: Interchangeable...? Genuine part.....? Fufu, this time, this is an expression I don't understand at all.

Well then, pick up the seeds with your hands. Fill them precisely and generously inside the bell peppers, so there aren't any gaps.

Idia: Hiiihh....!! The minced meat's chilly, slimy feeling clings to my fingerssssssssss.....!

Is t-this also a pattern that can't be measured? I have to adjust the amount of seeds according to the inner diameter of the bell pepper.....

Is there no other way to calculate the proper number of grams other than collecting data several times from the same work.....

Idia: ...Haah, it's all done.

Chef Ghost: Then, let's finish by baking. The key is to let the frying pain reach the right temperature before placing the stuffed peppers.

Don't forget to oil the pan before heating it. And the heat should be kept on medium.

Idia: .....What's the proper temperature, anyway? How am I supposed to know if the frying pan is at the right temperature?

Chef Ghost: Place your hand over the frying pan, and if you think it's warm enough, you're good to go.

Idia: There it is again, using my hands! The boundary between warm and hot varies so, so much from one person to another.....

And more items that need data to be collected are increasing one by one......

Chef Ghost: I'll make sure of it this time. Which one, which one... Hm, this is around the right temperature. Idia-kun, try hovering your hand over the pan.

Idia: It feels kinda hot and kinda warm...? C-Chef..... I want to measure the surface temp of the frying pan...

Chef Ghost: Hm~, there are tools like that, but we don't have them here in the kitchen.

Idia: There's nothing I can do about it. I guess I'll give up and start baking this time. Alright.

*CLICK* *SIZZLING*

Idia: HIGYAHHHHHH!?

The oil is splashing around...... Hiihhh! Don't come to me!!

Chef Ghost: IDIA-KUN, DON'T MOVE AWAY FROM THE FIRE!! PUT ALL THE REMAINING STUFFED MEAT ON THE FRYING PAN!

Idia: No, but I can't even get close to it because the oil is splashing all over the place!?

A guy needs to have some kind of protection... Like, at least a shield! I need some kind of shield—

HAAAH!!! That one over there is.....

A pot lid... NOT a pot lid!

It's one of the earlier tools that was used a while ago, but it's better than nothing! Let me hold it with one hand!

*SIZZLING*

Idia: Throwing the stuffed meat on the pan: Mission Success. I can finally take a breather from this.....

Chef Ghost: Turn it over or else it will burn! Here, hold the spatula!

Idia: HIIH, THERE'S NO TIME TO REST!!

Idia: Ha, hah... It's somehow finished.....

Chef Ghost: Good work. The judges should be here by now, so let's bring out the food.

CAFETERIA - Judging Venue

Cater: Ah, so it's Idia-kun who cooked the food. Cay-kun is the judge~♪

Idia: Hiih! An overwhelmingly sunny atmosphere...! I've been too unlucky today.....

Cater: A home-cooked meal by a classmate might be a fresh experience. I'm looking forward to eating stuffed bell peppers made by Idia-kun~!

Idia: That's pressuring me a lot, and the food hasn't even been served yet.....

That..... Ah... H-Here it is..... Go ahead.....

Cater: Thanks~ Wow! The visuals are looking good! It's colorful and its shape looks like a flower, so cute!

Can I take a quick pic before eating?

Idia: Hiiih..... G-G-Go ahead... D-Do, Do whatever you want.....

Cater: OK~!

*SNAP SNAP*

Idia: Is this a tactic of spreading my poor cooking on the internet? It's not even interesting or anything.....

Cater: .....Picture taking, finished! Now then, I'll go take a bite!

*MUNCH MUNCH*

Cater: .....Mhm, it's delicious!

Idia: Eh!? I... I can't even deny that it's overcooked and burnt in some places.....?

Cater: There are definitely parts that are black. But, hey, it's better than raw ♪

Idia: (whispering) Are these….. The concerns of a sunshine charac? Or is it just that Cater-shi's taste buds have a wide strike zone.....?

Chef Ghost: You did well, Idia-kun. It looks like you got a passing grade so far.

Idia: Hahhh~~~~ .....For now, I'm glad...

I feel bitter that I can't say, “I passed, the program is over!” or something like that, but.....

I'll just use the rest of the remaining time thinking about a hypothetical design for the “Idia Shroud-style cooking machine”.

Ahhh, really, LET'S FINISH UP QUICKLY~~!

THE END!

this is a little all over the place but What Ever sunny pleasant evening for once

[stuffing, tummy rubs]

Sunny was the last to arrive at Laurie's house. Everybody else was already happily chatting and snacking and laughing when he came trudging through the door, shivering and drenched to the bone after a long walk through the pouring rain. He was over an hour late. He hadn't intended to be, but he'd had a hard time getting himself together that day. Nothing seemed to be going right. His sleep had been repeatedly been interrupted by nightmares, leaving him feeling tired and on edge. He'd tripped and banged up his face on the arm of the couch, and he now had a big bruise blooming under his eye. The pasta dish he'd spent all morning working on was ruined by a faulty pepper shaker, and he'd had to not only start over from scratch, but run out and buy new ingredients as well. He'd spent a fair amount of time during this whole process crying in exhausted frustration, and his eyes were still red and sore. And then, after all that, he'd gotten rained on on his way over. He was bitterly aware that he'd likely still be dry if he hadn't screwed up the pasta.

"Oh, jeez, Sunny, you're soaking wet," exclaimed Laurie. Gray relieved him of the heavy dish he'd been carrying, and Laurie wrapped him in a towel. Realizing it wasn't going to do much good, she pulled him into her room and made him swap his wet clothes for a cozy oversized sweater and the smallest pair of pajama pants she could dig up. The two of them were nowhere near the same pants size, but with the help of the drawstring he was able to make it work.

As he emerged from the bathroom in his new outfit, Laurie ambushed him with the towel once more, this time vigorously ruffling his hair with it. A smile cracked through his grumpy face, and he hugged her tightly. She gladly returned the hug, lifting him slightly off the floor as she did, and then the two returned to the living room together.

"Hey, what took you, anyway? We were starting to think you got lost," said Carrie, throwing an arm around Sunny.

"I was busy fuckin' everything up," he said glumly, though his mood was already better than it had been when he'd arrived.

"Aw, shoot," she said, pulling him into a hug. "Well, hey, you made it, right?"

"Yeah, and now we can finally eat," said Dave. Sunny's belly rumbled loudly in response, and Carrie laughed and gave it a friendly pat. He hadn't realized it, but he'd barely eaten all day, having been too busy running around getting the pasta together.

In addition to the pasta, Gray had made enchiladas and Wendy had made her famous chicken noodle soup. It was an odd combination, along with the random assortment of snacks and appetizers everyone else had made, but everything looked and smelled fantastic. Sunny, who was still chilly from his long trek through the freezing wind and rain, was eager to get some hot food into his hungry stomach.

"So, what's the story with your face?" Carrie tapped her cheek as the group finally sat down to eat.

"I tripped," he confessed.

"Looks like it hurts," remarked Wendy. He nodded.

"I'm being very brave about it." He scooped a big steaming bite of enchilada into his mouth. Smiling, Laurie leaned over and planted a gentle kiss on the bruise, and he felt his cheeks go pink.

The group of friends talked and laughed happily over dinner, and it wasn't long before Sunny's plate was empty and his belly was full. He leaned back in his seat with a soft sigh, resting a hand on his rounded tummy. He finally felt like he'd shaken the cold away, the hot meal having warmed him up from the inside out, and he felt worlds better now that he'd eaten.

"You're lookin' pretty stuffed," teased Laurie, reaching out and patting his belly. "You didn't save room for cake, did you?" He perked up instantly, and she laughed. Laurie was well-known for her killer chocolate cake, and Sunny was perhaps one of its biggest fans.

Together, they all cleaned up dinner. Sunny rolled up the sleeves of Laurie's sweater--they were long enough to cover his hands, which he liked--and washed the dishes, his full tummy pressing against the counter as he did. It didn't take long for everything to be cleaned up, and Laurie retrieved the cake from the fridge. Gray wrapped an arm around Sunny while they waited their turn to get some, and Sunny gladly leaned into the embrace, hugging Gray and resting his head against his chest.

With the size of the cake, it was nearly impossible not to cut a big piece, and Sunny sat down with a slice that he wasn't sure he'd be able to finish. His friends were full, but he was absolutely stuffed. Still, he couldn't pass up dessert. The cake was heavenly, and he found it easy to eat even on a full belly. It wasn't long, in fact, before the entire slice was gone. He was a little surprised at himself for finishing it, but he wasn't surprised at how tight his stomach felt. It didn't ache--as a matter of fact, it felt pretty good--but he didn't think he could eat another bite if his life depended on it.

"Bet those pants fit now," said Laurie, giving Sunny's belly a gentle rub. She was right. He'd pulled the drawstring of the large pajama pants as tight as he could to fit his narrow waist, and now, as a matter of fact, it was just a little too snug. Shamelessly, he reached under the oversized sweater and loosened it a little. He sighed contentedly, resting both sleeve-covered hands on his belly, and Laurie laughed.

"You're adorable, Sunny," she giggled, and he flashed her a big toothy smile.

They remained at the table for a little while, chatting and digesting, and then the friends retreated to the living room and crowded onto the couch together. Sunny found himself happily nestled between Gray and Laurie. It was a tight squeeze, and the pressure against his bloated sides coaxed a small burp out of him. He yawned and leaned against Gray, who wrapped his arms around him and rested his big warm hands on his belly. Sunny melted under the comforting touch. He didn't want to fall asleep on his friends, but he was absolutely exhausted after losing so much sleep the night before. Looking up, though, he saw that Gray was also beginning to doze off. He smiled and hugged him. Gray was famous among his friends for falling asleep after a big meal, and Sunny was always glad to join him. He yawned again, and his tummy gurgled softly as it expanded under Gray's hands.

As the evening went on, Wendy, Dave, and Carrie made their way out one by one. Gray remained, having fallen fast asleep on the couch, and Sunny kept his place snuggled up against him. Laurie, perfectly fine with the two of them staying the night, rested herself against Sunny, sandwiching him snugly between his two larger friends. He grunted softly as he adjusted himself, trying to get comfortable. His belly felt extra tight under the new weight, but it wasn't unpleasant, and the heavy warmth of Laurie pressed against him was comforting. She rested one hand on his tummy, rubbing gently, and he smiled sleepily at her.

"I can't believe you ate that whole giant-ass piece of cake," she said quietly, giving his belly a gentle pat. Despite having some time to settle, it was still tight as a drum.

"Your fault," he whispered. "You make it so good." Laurie giggled and kissed him on the cheek.

"Still! On top of that big dinner," she whispered. "Doesn't your belly hurt?" He shook his head.

"Just full," he yawned, covering his mouth.

"I'll say." She continued rubbing his belly. Soothed by the gentle sensation, Sunny let his eyes fall shut, and before he knew it, he was happily snoring away.
