Les Amoureux

"I was entrusted with today's entrance examination,"

His ears perked up as he heard the angelic voice of a certain someone he knew.

I thought Pops was kidding when he said that Erina might be the judge in my entrance exam...

"My name is Nakiri Erina."

He could hear his fellow applicants whispering about the blonde beauty in front of him. His golden eyes gained a mischievous glint as he glanced towards Erina's long honey blonde locks, careful to avoid making any eye contact with her. He took in the blonde's whole form, from her beautiful golden threads to her long, slender legs. He gained an amused look as he saw her cross out her hands below her puffy chest. He was rather irritated by the looks that some of the males (and a few females) was sending her though.

"Please read the notification for admissions Hisako,"

"Hai. I'll read it now," With a nod, the girl named Hisako leaned down her head before she started reading, "First is an interview in groups of ten based on the application forms. After that is a practical examination of the cooking skills of the applicants with three—"

"Hmph. How boring." Erina paused, a finger flickering towards her chin. "Let's see," The blonde's face contorted into a sly smirk he was all too familiar with.

Ohhh, boy.

"Bring out the kitchen tables!"

He looked towards his left and saw a couple of people that looked like students judging from their matching uniforms bringing out a number of kitchen tables filled with different cooking ingredients and utensils. It even had it's own sink. How convenient.

Erina approached the table and seemed to scan it. She walked towards a bowl of egg and then picked up one before holding it up towards the direction of the applicants. "This will be the main ingredient," Seeing the nods of the applicants she continued, "Make one dish. Those who can satisfy my tongue will earn their admission to Tootsuki Academy."

He observed the expression of some of his fellow applicants, curious to see what their reactions at the exam would be.

He was disappointed at what he saw.

They were all terrified.

"In addition," Erina said in a rather dark tone in his opinion. "I'll give you one minute to withdraw from the examination if you want."

That did it. All of them, excluding himself, suddenly started running away, as if their life was at stake. Where did all their bravado go to?

Cowards. After insulting Yukihira's that's all they can do?

He made no effort at stopping them. They were all showing off and boasting their restaurant's food and all that stuff but they themselves aren't even confident enough on their skills to back up their boasting. A bunch of babies if you ask him.

"Is this really ok Erina-sama? With this no one will—"

"Didn't you see? They were all hopeless garbage, I won't waste my time on these kind of people."

He observed the interaction between the two ladies, idly wondering on when they'll notice that he was still there.

"Is that the end of today's schedule? I want to try making a new dish in my room." Hisako's eyes widened at the blonde' s statement. She unconsciously started drooling a bit which didn't go unnoticed by him and Erina as a smirk appeared on both of their faces.

"What happened, you look like you want something."

"Ah..No..Umm—"

"Does someone want to have the right to sample my dish," Erina caressed Hisako's cheeks teasingly with the pink-haired girl hopelessly stammering. It only made the scene all the funnier to him.

"Heh, didn't know that you had that side to you Erina," Erina suddenly frozed —her eyes widening at the voice—, something which confused her pink-haired secretary. Said secretary, Hisako, looked over behind her superior and saw a male behind the blonde, grinning as if he had won a lottery.

Erina turned to her back slowly, hoping that the person behind her was not (not really) who she thought he was.

"S-Sōma-kun! What are you doing here?!" Hisako was really confused now. They knew each other?

"I'm here for the exams of course," Sōma picked up an egg and threw it to his other hand. "Or am I not allowed to?"

Erina composed herself before saying, "You're allowed to, of course, but are you sure you can satisfy my tongue?"

He simply smirked at the challenge as he gathered, "Get ready then."

Hisako, who was really confused between the interaction between the two, took a look at the application form of the red-haired boy in front of them.

Yukihira Sōma. His family runs a Special-of-the-Day shop. By all means he should be someone that Erina would never give her time of the day for. But there she was, talking with him as if he was a long time friend. She was even watching him cook with a very interested look. And that confused Hisako greatly.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!"

Hisako stared at the bowl served in front of them in shock. How dare he?!

"How dare you! Do you know who Erina-sama is?"

He nodded in reply. "Then how do you expect Erina-sama to approve of—" She was interrupted by a hand from Erina who hushed her.

"Just wait and see Hisako."

A toothy smirk appeared on his face as he suddenly placed another bowl on the table, this time one filled with what looked like white rice. "As I've told Erina earlier, what I've made is a," He took the bowl of the Furikake Gohan before he took it over the bowl of rice and poured it. "Transforming Furikake."

A heavenly scent assaulted the senses of the two ladies. The two looked at the dish that he prepared for the blonde and saw the jelly-like toppings melt with the rice. The intoxicating smell had them both slightly weak to the knees, more so for Hisako. He knew the reason why Erina wasn't as much though. They both knew.

"Here it is," Picking up the bowl of topped rice, he slid in a silver tray and put the dish in it along with a pair of chopstick before he ever so eloquently served it to Erina. "The Transforming Furikake Gohan." He finished with a gentle bow, a smile etched on his face.

With a blush, Erina picked up the chopsticks and nibbled a single grain of rice from the bowl.

He observed with a smirk as he saw Erina's expression change bite from bite. He also saw the suspiciously fascinated look of Erina's secretary.

"You can taste it too you know," He turned to Erina who was still savoring the explosion of flavors that the dish he concocted did before grinning at the pink-haired secretary. "If Erina doesn't finish it all, at least."

That statement seemed to break the blonde's stupor as she did what he called the 'Tsundere' pose. "Hmph,"

"Heh,"

"Hisako! Let's go, I have to report to the higher ups." Erina said.

"O-of course, Erina-sama."

The blonde took a final glance at him before turning away. "The number of passing applicant's in today's entrance examination is one."

A huge smirk appeared on his face as he removed his headband, "It wasn't much!"

"Erina-sama, if I may ask, how do you know him?" Hisako was really impressed with the guy. Although she didn't like his disrespectful way of referring to Erina, she could respect his skills as a chef.

The blonde turned her face towards the sides and mumbled, "He's my fiance."

"I'm sorry Erina-sama, I didn't hear you properly."

"He is," A small tint of pink appeared on her cheeks as she thought at what she was gonna mention next. "He's my fiance."

"What?!"

Erina sighed and rubbed her temples. A small smile crept on her face afterwards, "Yukihira Sōma. My stupid, idiotic, lovable fiance."

Author's Note:

As you have read, the chapter tackled chapters 2 and 3 of the manga with some noticeable differences.I mostly zoned through the cooking bits since it was mostly the same, only with a different outcome. Not much romantic or 'fluffy' interactions between the two in this chapter. Sorry for that.

I relied a bit on the dialogues from the manga itself, only changing a few words or so but that'll change in the future chapters. A bit forced on the last part, definitely will edit and improve it in the future so it flows better.

This chapter was really half-baked though. I was debating on whether to hold back on the details and just be straight forward and as you can see the above chapter was the result. Not my best work, that I can say with confidence.

The story will be a series of related but not necessarily connected drabbles. This chapter was basically to show the pre-established relationship that Sōma and Erina has. How they met and how the whole engagement came to be will be shown in future chapters...probably.

Most of the chapters will only be as long as this one. Some will be a bit longer, some shorter. As I said, this will be a collection of drabbles meaning each chapter will be short. Updates might be rather slow though as this is only a side project of mine.

Might post another story with a different pairing sometime in the future but don't expect much.
