fandomhigh | Pie for Beginners - Week 4

Yondaime was back in class today, looking chipper and friendly as usual. “Hello everyone! Good morning! I’m sorry for my absence last week, but I was undeniably delayed due to an overly…. insistent relative at home. I hope that Professor Deadpool was able to help everyone with last weeks topic but if there were any problems please see me and we’ll work them out.”

He reached down to the floor and picked up a large bushel of apples, a small basket of berries, and another of peaches. “So this week we’re doing fruit pie fillings. I have apples, berries and peaches for you to choose from but of course just about any fruit can be made into a filling. The recipes and ingredients needed for the fillings you will find on your tables a long with pre-made frozen pie crusts. We’re using pre-made crusts for these lessons just because it would take too long to do the filling and crust in one class. Deadpool mentioned to me that some of you objected, to them before but if you wish you may make several crusts to use for the various classes to bring in.” He picked up an apple and tossed it back and forth in his hands.

“So barring the return of any puppets,” he paused, glancing around fearfully for a moment before continuing. “I’d like you all to work in partners, avoid certain dreaded words regarding crusts and we’ll see what kind of pies we can come up with by the end of class!”

Setsuna sorted through the apples and waited for Alphonse. Because it didn't even cross her mind that they wouldn't pair up for this one. They had to. Yup.

Wasn't she lucky, then; Setsuna was the first person he turned to once the lecture was over with a beaming look on his face.

"We cannot mess up on this one," Setsuna told him as if he didn't realize it, grinning. "We'll have to be extra careful. I'd feel just terrible if I messed up on apple pie around you." She gave him a light nudge with her elbow.

"Mm-hmm, no messing up," Alphonse replied in mock demand, moving slightly from the nudge.

"I'll get to peeling the apples," Setsuna offered; she didn't feel it needed to be said that she'd have it done in a significantly quicker time than just about anyone else in the room, excepting perhaps Yondaime-sensei.

"Hmm," Alphonse looked down thoughtfully at their pie-making materials. "Right. I'll get the other ~~oh so handwavey~~ things done while you do that."

Setsuna nodded. "Right," and, arming herself with the apple peeler, took in a deep breath, centred her chi, and, with a completely overdone display of how big of a dork she was, set about peeling the apples in a flurry of expertise.

Somewhere between the beginning and halfway through that demonstration, Alphonse stopped what he was doing and paused to stare.

Setsuna was unaware of the staring; it was only herself and the small bowl of apples in front of her. A few moments later, surrounded by sliced peels (one or two of them in her hair; another clinging precariously to her ponytail spikes), she let out a slow breath, releasing the chi, feeling the energy settle down back inside her gut to nothing more than a slight spark to be called upon later, and opened her eyes. She smiled at the perfectly naked apples ahead of her.

"Finished!" She beamed at Alphonse. "Coring them will take a much more precise attention."

Alphonse blinked, silent for another moment before speaking up; "That was... impressive."

The beam dropped away quickly, replaced by a very strong blush. Setsuna ducked her head. "It was...just apple peeling," she insisted, trying very hard and failing pretty badly to hide a smile.
