If your husband turns into a wolf, dose that make you a furry?

Cooking

Femininity and Samus Aran don't mix very well.

It's not like the bounty hunter distaste dresses and domestic life. Her rising at a young age to be a killer and survivor by the Chozo destroyed all aspects of natural homely life. Even if she is curious about it, Samus knows only the bear minimum when it comes to housekeeping. She can clean ok and she's a lot better at keeping things organized and neat then her husband.

But when it comes to cooking….

Well their last safe house was blown up. And it wasn't because of space pirates.

So, when Samus asked Link to cook dinner tonight, he was a little worried. To be honest he knows she's not a bad cook per-say. She just keeps using insane ingredients like dark matter and strange alien parts that either explode or make him sick for a month. Still he the hero of twilight and he loves his bounty hunter, so he easily caved when she asked.

And now he regrets that whole decision.

"Um…Samus? Just…what are we looking at?" Link, with his fraternal twin children eyes covered by his hands, asked utterly bemused, confused, and very creeped out by the creature in the large green glop filled jar on the kitchen table.

The creature is spider like with eight long spindly legs jutting from the side of it's main body. The tail, long and thick, is pointed at the end. And the under side that sucked on the glass of the jar looked like a-well it looks like the thing Samus asks Link to pound at night when the kids are asleep.

Zion, the six-year-old boy, only rise his blonde brow in curiosity. His bright golden hair, tied in short tail, is a little rustled form his father's sudden attack on his face.

"Is it dangerous?" Zion asked calmly. More like his mother then his father, the book smart Zion has always taken everything in a calm, almost relaxed state. He's nose is always in a book, so he can't help but be a little curious about just what his bright blue eyes can't see.

"Muu~ Come on dad! I want to see!" Quinn pouted as she tried to pull her father's hand off her face. A messy mop of dark blond hair tickled her long elf ears as she tired to shake her dad off. Just as curious as her twin brother, Quinn wanted to see the strange creature for herself. Although unlike her bother, Quinn's bouncy tomboy attitude wanted to emulate her father and try to protect her family form it if it was dangerous. Her deep blue eyes with deep shades green squinted in anger at her dad's over protectiveness.

Samus, as calm as ever, answered Link's question as if she was talking about the weather. In her varia suit. Without her helmet. Covered, what the Hylian hopes is green blood.

"It's a face hugger."

There was a dulled 'sskkrreeee' form the jar.

"And?"

"It's dinner for tonight."

"…."

"…."

Link looked at his wife and his wife looked at him with nothing but clam indifference.

Then she titled her head in curiosity. "You did say I could cook tonight."

"…Yup. I did." Link hung his head in defeat.

He turned his kids away from…. whatever a face hugger is, and kneeled to them.

"Go get my sowrd kids. I may need to fight dinner. Again."

-OOO-

Out of her working clothes, her zero suit and varia suit are out cleaning, Samus dressed a little more homely in a cotton shirt and pants. Along with Link's dark green, 'cats are people too' apron. The image was only made stranger with her Paralyzer gun at her side.

Said Hylian was behind her with his sowrd and shield on his back. Waiting defend his home form whatever that thing in the jar is.

And his worry was right since, as soon as Samus opened the jar, the creature leaped out with eerie shriek at Samus's face. It's plan to seed it's eggs, and repopulate this planet with the more powerful true species!

Only for the bounty hunter to fire her paralyzer form her hip and Link to throw a knife at it at the same time. The creature shirked in deathly pain it was pinned to the wall.

"Nice throw." Samus complimented her husband.

While the monster dripped blood onto their stove top, Link gave his wife an incredulous look.

"It tried to eat us."

Samus shrugged. "We've faced worse."

There was a loud hiss on the stove. The creature blood is apparently acidic. The hiss coming from their burning stove top. Link was luckily that metal alloy he had installed into this safe house was so cheap and durable.

"Acid blood?" Link asked as he watched the tall blonde walked up to the creature and pull it form the wall. Holding by the tail, Samus placed the creature over the jar to let the blood drip inside.

"The blood dose make a good base for a sauce." Once again Link could only wonder just what the Chozo taught her.

-OOO-

Guessing form, it's crab like look, Link guessed it would be better to boil it like one. Instead of using Samus's arm cannon to quick cook it like the woman suggested. So, the creature is currently being broiled in a pot with the few seasoning Link had to force Samus to let him add. Although there is one ingredient that Samus would not relent on.

"Are you trying to kill me and the kids?" Link glared arms crossed at his wife.

"Trust me. Dark matter is great for breaking down it's outer shell and making it soft enough to eat- "

"This stuff makes black holes." Link argued back. "That's what blew up three of our houses."

That Samus using arm canon to bake cookies.

Samus did look a little apologetic as Link brought up the many home explosions she has caused. "Sorry. I was trying to find the right amount and I kept using too much."

Still Link didn't budge. "The answer is still no Samus- "

The bounty hunter suddenly placed her hand on Link's head. Petting him like a dog while giving him a heart warming smiling. Her fingers twisted into his blonde hair to rub that part of his scalp that makes his tail wag in his wolf form.

"Please Link?" The bounty hunter smiled as her husband blushed.

Link tired with all his might to resist the heavenly ministrations of his lover. She always doses this to get her way. Even though he spoils her enough as it is, she always finds a way to get him to spoil her even more.

"…. Fine." Link, his face tinged pink, resigned. But not completely. "But I measure the amount ok?"

Samus conceded to that. Handing the tiny black tube to Link, Samus let her husband take control of the rest of the cooking. Link, with great trepidation, walked up to the boiling pot and un corked the deadly…. can he even call it a cooking spice?

Either way, slowly, as human possible as he could, Link titled the bottle over. And, as the tiniest of beads of black energy, smaller then a dot, dropped out of the bottle Link closed it back in a flash and jumped back in front of Samus with his shield raised in defense.

The pot bubbled and shook violently. It jittered with green liquid spilling out on the sides as the threat of a deathly earth shattering explosion-

'pop!'

Fizzled out.

Link sighed greatly in relief as he lowered his shield.

"Hmm." Samus held her chin in thought. "Maybe we should add a little- "

"NO!"

-OOO-

Cooked, buttered and seasoned, boiled face hugger sat on the family plate. On its back with its…colorful underbelly facing upwards, surrounded by green leafy garnish, the Aran family dinner is ready to eat.

"Dad. This looks like thing you and uncle Noctis fished up last week." Quinn poked her dinner with her fork with a worried expression. "But a lot uglier."

Zion examined one of the legs in his hands, "This looks like something form a predator species. Although it has no teeth, the poisonous blood is a great defensive mechanism. It could prove very dangerous to eat."

Zion show no remorse as he shoved the leg in his father's face. "Therefore, you should eat it dad."

Link gave his son a hard look. Sometimes he hates his child's smart mind. He took the leg and eyed with just as much worry as his children. However, the wife, sitting at the head of the table, sat patiently. Although she didn't smile there is a bright eager glow in her eyes.

She desperately waited for everyone's opinion. Especially Link's. With him being the designated cooker, cleaner, and well everything else around the house, Samus wanted to do something, anything to help him out. Their normal routine is that she get's up before the sun rises and goes off to any job she needs while Link stays home and takes cares of the house and the kids.

And then she comes home at un godly hours or random days within the week. Or month.

And what ever time she comes home he's always asleep. Tired from the daily stress for house work and child rearing. Their relationship has always been equal at every step of the way, so she wanted to do something for him.

Even if her cooking is utterly horrific.

Link understood this, yet it still didn't make him want to eat the monster in front of him.

But the look of devotion and love of his wife gave him some courage.

'Well I can't say I died for a bad cause….'

And with that Link took a bite out of the monster's leg.

"Ah! This is…great1?" Link gasped in shock at the tangy, slightly sweet and crunchy texture of the face hugger's leg.

"Eh!? Really!?" Quinn took a leg herself and bit into it. Humming at the taste that danced on her tongue.

"Oh. So, he's not dead." Zion said with a smirk as he took a leg himself.

Samus smiled at her family happily enjoying her food.

"So…can I cook full time?"

Link looked as wife. With smile and sigh, he said "Let's work on that whole dark matter stuff first."

Good? Bad?

So tell me what you think in your review.
