Pairing: Established Daisuke x Takeru.

Summary:

Takaishi Takeru's attempt at cooking a meal for Motomiya Daisuke doesn't go as planned.

Michael Barton.

The American Chosen Child was an honest-to-God saint, but he'd been a smidge too friendly around Takeru's boyfriend (no fault of his own) when he and Mimi came to Japan for the long weekend.

Michael made a damn fine plate of eggs. Sunny side up and not a yolk overcooked! Was Daisuke supposed to withhold a sincere compliment?

Takeru liked to believe so.

To challenge Michael's coaching from Digitamamon, Takeru had his brother.

Unfortunately, savviness behind the stove wasn't genetic. He hesitated to call the lunch he and Patamon worked on together a burger. It was more a club sandwich, in that they wound up adding chicken, lettuce, bacon, and mayo to the pan out of panic to douse the flames.

All things considered, the presentation was decent. Takeru even crafted cocktail stick "wings" approximating Patamon's. Yamato hadn't taught Takeru how to make fries yet, so Takeru just lumped in some potato chips and a mini tomato.

Daisuke bit into the bun, gulping audibly.

"It's inedible, isn't it?"

"Want the truth?"

"Please."

"You aren't going to be charging 1,100 Yen on any menus…"

"I think Oniichan's got leftovers."

"Or, you know," the prospective ramen chef broached smugly, "you could leave the cooking to me?"
