Cooking Club [Home Ec Classroom, Thursday]

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

It was Thursday and that meant Ned was in the Home Ec classroom, getting things ready to actually cook today. That was the benefit of power, they could actually make things.

When everyone filed in, Ned started talking.

"Hey guys," he said, waving dorkily. "Glad to see you all came back and didn't ditch because we didn't have power last week. This week, we do have power so we're going to do what we did last week and that's breakfast foods. I was going for new club session equaling breakfast which is the first thing you typically eat in the mornings. First meeting, first meal. It made sense when I thought of it."

He laughed nervously.

"Anyway, there's both recipes and ingredients to make omelets, french toast, waffles, pancakes, crepes, bacon, sausage, eggs, oatmeal and grits," he said. "And then we can eat them. Oh, and there's cereal too in case anyone doesn't wanna cook. That's completely fine."

Ned gestured at the tables and said, "Let's get cooking."

"Do one with my name in it?" he requested.

"Ned is shiny, Ned is great! He makes the best food I ever ate!"

She beamed.

"Lookit, it rhymes an' it's got your name."

"You get extra strawberries for that."

Well, no, there was another reason.

"You get extra because I love you."

"I love you too!" she told him gleefully. "I was gonna put that in th'cheer but it don't fit."

"When did you decide to do this for me?" Ned wondered, still grinning.

Re: Talk to Ned

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Today!" she said cheerfully. "'Cause I remembered what day it was."

"No classes for you today?" Ned asked, finishing his eggs and grabbing pancake stuff without missing a beat.

Re: Talk to Ned

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"I only got classes on Tuesdays," she said happily, watching him. That was all kinds of hot. She'd have to remember that. "My baby class an' then the food one with you."

Re: Talk to Ned

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"Baby class?" he asked, setting the eggs aside for the moment to start mixing the pancake batter.

Re: Talk to Ned

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Child Development," she amended. "We've been playin' with fake babies so far, though."

Re: Talk to Ned

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"Is that weird?" Ned asked, shaping the batter carefully into circles.

Re: Talk to Ned

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Nah, they're cute. But it's why I sometimes have a headache by the time I see you in class," she admitted. "Babies cry. I'm so glad we're safe with our sexin', Ned. I don't want babies 'til I know how t'shut 'em up properly."

Apparently there were no private subjects for Kaylee.

Weirdly enough, while she started talking, Ned started baking faster. It wasn't that he was trying to ignore her but she was talking about babies and he was...stressing.

Re: Talk to Ned

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Why're you bakin' faster?" she wondered, watching.

Re: Talk to Ned

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"Because the club doesn't last very long and you should have pancakes before the club ends," he said quickly.

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Ned?" Kaylee requested, and hooked a finger to indicate he should come over here.

Re: Talk to Ned

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

Ned moved closer, spatula in one hand. "What?"

Re: Talk to Ned

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Kiss?" she asked, smiling up at him.

She liked watching him cook. And holding cooking things.

Re: Talk to Ned

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"Okay," he said, leaning down and kissing her softly.

Re: Talk to Ned

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

She went on her toes to happily return that kiss. "I love my super-tall chef boy," she told him, like the dork she was. Because she did.

Re: Talk to Ned

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"Super tall chef boy?" he said, laughing.

Re: Talk to Ned

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Is that not the right word?" she asked worriedly. "Like a cook but better?"

Re: Talk to Ned

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"No, no, that's fine," he assured it. "It's just funny."

Re: Talk to Ned

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Well, I do!" she told him, and kissed him again. "I need t'stop distractin' you though."

Re: Talk to Ned

"I love my super tiny mechanic girl," he returned. "And you're not, don't worry."
