@MOONSBRUTE while his first instinct was going to be to take a picture- that wouldnโt be fair to shinji. heโs the one who went out of his way to get it.
instead, a determined look on his face. understanding now the need for secrecy.
โ only work after the weekend. letโs do this. โ
@MOONSBRUTE eyes widening, looking over his shoulder.
not afraid of leaning into him.
โ what?! no way! โ
he said the magic word.
for his full, undivided attention now.
โ how did you even get it? they make them sign a fucking contract to not leak it! โ
@MOONSBRUTE he just brushed the back of his head. but he also gets it- not someone who likes being given gifts either.
and they have to focus. walking closer to him, to see the famed cookbook.
" pinky promise. "
hand to his heart. he's serious.
@MOONSBRUTE " c'mon, don't worry about it. we make it everyday, it's better if the extra go to someone who's gonna appreciate it! "
didn't seem he noticed the fluster, leaving the basket on the counter.
" ready to begin the secret recipe sharing session? "
@wildcardthieves you know.
you like my body, being more built.
i like your body. more lean.
not- i mean, if you still want to go to the gym, we can, just-
n-nevermind.
@MOONSBRUTE seems it was a savory-focused basket. some peppers, different greens. a ginger root for good measure, even if he figured shinji probably had some.
and also
" brought you some ramen as a gift! "
little balls of handmade noodles.
@wildcardthieves well, i do eat a lot.
but it's balanced with other stuff.
plus, you sweat a lot in the kitchen! so even on days when i miss the gym, i'm working out.
@MOONSBRUTE ๐ฒ coming!!
and the sound of the door unlocking showed it to be true. similarly dressed with a tight shirt and apron, with a basket of ingredients under his arm.
โ yo, aragaki-san! โ
