"Do you need help?" I asked.

"Nu-uh. I said I'm gonna cook to impress you, what's the point in you helping me?"

"Could it be... the same as yours?" I said with a sarcastic tone.

"Oh, no need for that, love. You already impressed me without even trying."

So did you.

I honestly thought he's gonna be a jerk... well he is sometimes. But I guess everyone has some soft parts after all.

"How's your wound?"

"Ahh, it's completly healed now. I told you it wasn't such a big deal, but I've got myself a really cool scar! Makes me look badass, don't you think?"

"You're badass naturally, babe. But if you like it so much, then so be it. I just hope you don't like it that much for you to want another one."

"What the- No! Of course not! I wouldn't do that."

"Good. Glad you're fine." He said as he continued cooking.

"Might not be anymore after I eat that poison you're cooking."

"Have some faith in me, would ya?"

"Not a chance."

But he just chuckled.

"You're indeed my motivation."

"Huh? How so? I always say sarcastic things, not supportive ones for sure."

"That's the thing. You tell me that I can't do it, and even if you're just joking... sometimes... it still motivates me to do it so I can prove you that I can."

"Oh, really? Good to know. Imma stop doing that, then."

"Hey! No! Why are you-"

But my laugh interrupted him.

"Just joking, silly. As I said, bet you can't make that... whatever you're cooking there, edible."

He just smirked.
