Good Cooks are Hard to Find (Carisi)

Request: *If you are still accepting requests. Can I request a carisi x reader one shot? Where The reader is a terrible cook and sonny teaches her how to make something?*

I'm gonna be honest. I wasn't sure how to write this but once I started writing I loved where it was going so I made it into two parts! Might post part two today might wait until next week. Let me know how much y'all want to see part two in the comments!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You didn't quite know what unearthly thing had caused to suggest hosting dinner for Amanda's birthday.

It wasn't because you didn't want to do something special for your best friend but because you could not, for the love of anything, cook.

You had lived with your parents for most of your life so they had cooked and when you moved out you had met Amanda who let you come over to eat whenever you wanted in exchange for babysitting her kids.

In all that time you had maybe cooked once or twice and it had been a total disaster.

So why did you even sign yourself up for this?

Well, that was quite a simple yet complicated answer.

You did it because of Sonny Carisi.

He had been asking Amanda's coworkers and friends if they could help plan a surprise for her after she got off work. He needed someone to provide food and he asked you and because you had a massive crush on him you said you could cook.

Big mistake.

Now you faced a huge problem. You had to make tasty food for lots of people in less than 5 hours and you had no idea what you were going to do.

After spending a good amount of time at the grocery you decided that the easiest thing to cook would probably be chicken alfredo.

How hard could that be? It was just boiling pasta and then making the chicken and mixing it with the sauce.

Apparently pretty hard for the novice cook.

In a matter of minutes, your entire "meal" had just fallen out. The pasta was overcooked, the chicken was burnt, and the sauce smelled weird. It was a full-on disaster. You groaned as you looked at the clock in your kitchen.

3 hours left.

Crap.

You started to regret your decision. Why had you even decided to do this in the first place? You ran your hand down your face in defeat. What were you going to do now? If you didn't come up with something, and fast, then you risked not only letting your best friend down but also letting your crush down.

You glanced up at the clock again. Time was ticking away. There was nothing you could do.

At that moment your phone rang and you looked to see who it was and you literally wished the world would just suck you into the Earth.

Sonny Freaking Carisi

You panicked trying to think of something to say to make it seem like everything was good but you knew lying would get you nowhere so with a hesitant sigh you answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hiya Y/N! I was wondering how you were doing? How is the food coming?"

Damn his chirpiness and his accent.

You looked at your petty attempt to make a meal before letting out a deep breath.

"Ummm actually I have a confession to make"

"What's up?"

"IactuallyhavenoideahowtocookandItriedbutruinedeverything" You said quickly.

"What was that doll I didn't catch any of that"

You groaned. You knew there was no escaping the disappointment you would inevitably face.

"I don't know how to cook Sonny! I should have told you but I just didn't want to let Amanda down."

Or you.

"I tried to make chicken alfredo but now my kitchen smells like something just died and the party is in three hours"

"Y/N-"

"It looked so simple on the recipe and I thought I could manage but apparently everything I touch that has to do with food just crumbles and fails" You continue to ramble while you feel something wet streaming down your face.

"Y/N!"

You stop realizing that at this point you are in tears and just sobbing on the phone.

Way to go Y/N. He probably thinks your crazy or something.

"Y/N doll. It's alright. I understand that you meant well."

You snorted. "It doesn't matter now. Amanda's gonna hate me"

Sonny sighed. "You know there is nothing you do that will ever upset her."

There was a pause before he spoke again in a sweet gentle voice.

"Doll how about I come over and we can try making that alfredo?"

You could not believe your ears. Did he just offer to come over to your house and help you cook?

"Tha-at would be gre-eat!" You cursed yourself for stuttering.

Sonny let out a light laugh.

"Let me stop at the store and pick up some stuff and I'll be there!"

You were glad he wasn't there to see the stupid smile on your face.

"Okay, I'll see you then!"

"I'll see you then Doll"
