Action-Packed Dinner-time!

[amomentofsympathy]

Who: Nasuti, Shin, and Touma
Where: Nasuti's Apartment - more specifically, the kitchen and dining room
When: Following this post
Status: Closed

"Ow!" Nasuti hissed between her teeth as she brought a finger to her mouth. It was difficult trying to remember what equipment she needed for the kitchen in order to make pasta. It was only natural that she'd forget a screen to keep the tomato sauce from spitting at her as it cooked.

Flimsily shaking her hand and turning the sauce onto low, she stepped away from the stove in order to get the table set. The boys said they would arrive shortly, and it had already been a good ten minutes since they cut off their network feeds. So it was only a matter of time before they arrived.

She wanted to get as much completed as possible before Shin arrived. Knowing him, he'd want to steal her apron and take over the kitchen. Not that Nasuti entirely objected to it...perhaps it would take his mind off of things, after all.

He was expecting to arrive after Touma, but he also wasn't one to dawdle when given an invitation like that. How often did anyone cook for him anymore? Even if it was a passion of his, it was a lot of work; that meant he appreciated it even more when others made the effort on his behalf.

Even though it was Nasuti, he knocked on the door. She was still their Onee-san after all this time; she deserved that much courtesy. He put on a smile and resolved to just enjoy his friends' company - no thinking about...

Well, anything but the people who were here tonight.

Touma had been distracted by the library on the way over but arrived just in time to walk up behind Shin. He smiled a bit and waved a bit as he approached. Dinner was sounding better and better as the time approached. This invitation had thrilled him when he'd heard about it.

Then again, any reason to have someone else make his food was a good one in his mind.

"Hey, Shin."

[shounenphelps]

"Hey Touma. You don't happen to know what meal she has planned, do you?"

He couldn't help but be curious.

"Actually, I have no idea. Do you think there will be dessert after dinner?"

He couldn't help himself. He had an incurable sweet tooth.

Shin laughed. "I can definitely see Nasuti going all out if she invited us over. If not, maybe she'll let me throw something together. I figured we were beyond host gifts, or I'd have brought something like that myself."

Touma started to blink a bit. "Oh. I didn't even think about a host gifts." He really didn't get out much back home.

Answering the door, Nasuti was pleased to see the two boys arrive together. Even if she hadn't had as much opportunity to check on them as of late, it was good to see that neither of them were being neglected.

It made it easier to avoid the inevitable mother-henning that she was prone to do. (Even if it was easier for others, like Ryo and Shuu, than these two.)

"Glad you two could make it!" Nasuti stepped back to let the two in, reaching back to her hair to pull her pony-tail out from its tie. Now that the food was done, she could let it fall free again.

"I needed an excuse to break in the kitchen. I've been here how long and it hadn't been used yet?"

orz didn't realize it wasn't my tag sorry

"Oh but you're good enough at plenty of other things to excuse a kitchen in disuse." Shin smiled as he entered the room, turning on his heels to face the others.

"I was just asking Touma if he knew what'd you made, and I'm smelling plenty of interesting things, so what did you make?"
