FO4 Companions React Headcanon- Sole burning lunch & setting off the fire alarm

Sole was in the kitchen of an dilapidated apartment complex, making him/herself a decent lunch of Deathclaw Steak. In the process of doing so, Sole looked out the window got distracted by a group of off-duty Diamond City security guards below trying to recreate an odd pre-war dance called the Harlem Shake. Sole forgot all about the steak until the blaring fire alarm snaps him/her back to reality

Deacon:

Deacon was in the middle of changing his outfit when the alarm when off.

“You know if you really wanted to see me naked you could’ve just asked nicely.”

He walked into the kitchen in his underwear to see Sole standing there with the burnt steak.

“Well that’s an eyesore? Nothing a little contour can’t fix, amiright? But seriously, you’re not actually going to eat that, are you?” Deacon handed Sole another piece of deathclaw meat. “Hopefully second times the charm, pal.”

Cait:

Cait was rummaging around one of the nearby rooms when she head the alarm go off.

“What’re ye doin in there!?”

When she approached Sole and saw the charred steak, she grimaced. “I see ye like it well done. Like, very well done.”

“I burned it.”

“I can see that. The thing looks incinerated. At least the chars will give ye some extra protein.”

Longfellow:

Longfellow was reading an old nature magazine that he found when he heard the alarm go off.

“Are you okay in there?” He put down the magazine and walked into the other room, immediately eying the burned steak.

“I give you props. I’m an old man. And in all my decades of living, I’ve never seen a piece of meat burned this bad.” He scratched his head. “ But Deathclaw meat is tough. The best way to cook it is to slow-roast it.”

He gave Sole another piece of deathclaw meat. “I’ll show you how to prep and cook it the right way.”

Ada:

Ada was collecting junk when she heard the alarm. “Alarm detected. Are you safe?”she asked through the wall.

“Yes Ada, I’m fine.” Sole answered, walking into the room with the burnt streak.

“What is that?” Ada asks, scanning the meat. “I have determined that this specimen is 1% deathclaw, 99% charcoal. Traces of deathclaw detected.

Are you in safe? Do you need assistance?”

“No Ada, I’m fine, thank you.”

“Affirmative.”

Nick:

Nick was reading a book in the other room when the fire alarm went off. He couldn’t help but chuckle a bit.

“How’s that steak coming along, pal?”

“It’s fine Nick, I’m just cooking.” Sole shouted from the other room, frantically fanning the smoke.

“Sounds more like burning.” Nick joked. After making sure that everything was okay, Nick offered Sole a second piece of deathclaw meat.

“Easy bucko. This is the last piece of Deathclaw I’ve got. Make sure to actually cook it this time.”

Gage:

Gage was sharpening his switch blade when the alarm went off.

“How’s that lunch coming?” he asked sarcastically.

When Sole entered the room with the burnt steak, Gage just shrugged.

“A little crispy but it ain’t the worst I’ve seen.”

He rips off a piece of the meat and tosses it into his mouth. “A little crunchy. A little tough. A little smokey. It ain’t bad though. Yeah, it ain’t too bad. Just eat it.”

Danse:

Danse was modding weapons in the other room when he heard the blaring of the alarm. “Stay put, soldier! I’m coming.” He drops to the floor and crawls to the door, feeling the knob with the back of his hand. He then opens the door, where he meets Sole, holding a burnt steak.

“Danse? What are you doing?”

Danse stands up. “Considering the pitch and volume of the alarm, I assumed there was a combustion. You seemed to have been able to contain the inferno. Good job, soldier.”

“There wasn’t a fire, I just burned my lunch.”

Danse looks quizzically at the burnt slab of meat.

“Oh...I’m sorry to hear that. That’s quite unfortunate. I suggest being more attentive to your cooking in the future. Luckily, I have some extra rations.”

He then hands Sole a box of Fancy Lads Snack Cakes.

MacCready:

MacCready was relaxing on an old mattress when the fire alarm went off. He rolled his eyes.

“Hey! Next time you wanna do an EDM jam sesh, remind me to bring my turntable.”

He rolled over and covered his ears with an old straw pillow until the alarm ceased. When he sat back up, he saw Sole holding out a sad-looking steak.

“Wow. That looks bad.” MacCready poked the stiff steak, “Like, really bad.”

Sole shrugged. “I’m hungry.”

“Yeah but you’ve got to have some standards. That’s the worst-cooked piece of meat I’ve ever seen! And I was the Mayor of a village run by kids!” MacCready sighed. “Look, I picked up a box of Blanco Mac n Cheese that I found. We can split it if you want. But I’m making it.”

Hancock:

Hancock was doing jet when the alarms went off.

“Hm. Can’t quite tell if this is the jet or real life.”

Sole walked in holding the burnt steak a few minutes later.

“Ah. That answers my question.”

Sole sat down next to Hancock and hesitantly poked at the steak with his/her fork.

Hancock instantly noticed Sole’s disinterest in the food and handed him/her some jet.

“Here, brother/sister. This should take the edge off the food.”

Piper:

Piper was in the middle of writing a draft for the paper when the alarm started blaring.

“Hey, Blue! Everything okay in there?”

“Yeah Piper all good. I just managed to completely singe my lunch.” Sole answered.

“Oh, I’m sure it’s not that bad.” Piper walked into the kitchen and was greeted with a cloud of smoke. She then saw the slab of meat. “Yikes! That’s not edible. Here, have some Sugar Bombs, I have some extra.”

X6-88

X6 was watching the dancing Diamond City guards in disgust when the alarm went off.

“Ma’am/Sir? I suggest that in the future, you pay more attention to your cooking than to the buffoons below.”

Strong:

Strong was going through his collection of assorted meats when the alarm went of.

“WHAT. IS. THAT. SOUND???”

“It’s just the fire alarm Strong. It’s fine.” Sole reassured from the other room.

When Strong found the source of the screeching he walked straight up to the alarm.

“PUNY ROBOT. STOP MAKING NOISE OR YOU WILL DIE.”

When the alarm failed to stop, Strong whipped out his heated super sledge. “STRONG SMASH!!”

Preston:

Preston was tuning into various radio stations when the alarm when off. When he heard the sound, he rushed into the other room.

“Everything okay in here, General?”

Sole looked at his/her worried companion. “I’m good, Preston. I just burned my lunch.”

“I’m sorry to hear that, General. If you want I can contact a nearby settlement to see if they have any extra meat for trade.”

Curie/Codsworth:

This scenario never happened with Curie and Codsworth. They both insisted on helping Sole cook the entire time and didn’t let the food burn.
