Enjoy!

...

The loud, entropic, and unpredictable rat stood a mere few feet from you, smiling from your doorstep. In one of her hands was a nondescript brown grocery bag, with the other a small handbag.

"Can I come in?" The rat chimed as she walked under your arm that was holding the front door open.

"Yeah, sure..." You closed the door in confusion. "Make yourself at home...?"

You hastily made your way into the living room to catch up to Bae, who was setting an assortment of items from the grocery bag.

"Bae?" You approached her side to observe.

"Cheese, coffee beans, blowtorch, and more cheese." She chanted, naming each item as she pointed at them.

"Blowtorch?" You picked up the blue canister from the table. "But why?"

"I wonder if it could be a more efficient way of making fried cheese." She shrugged. "What?"

The rat turned to look you square in your confused face. Yanking the blowtorch from your hands, Bae gave you a scornful look.

"It's like you've never heard about me before, Y/N."

"Chaos..." Your expression turned sour. "Don't tell me you plan to burn my house down."

"That's arson, Y/N." She patted you on the back. "Sit down, let's enjoy some cheese."

She threw herself onto your couch, a block of cheese in one hand, and the menacing blue canister in the other. You followed suit and stiffened up as she pointed the nozzle of the blowtorch at herself.

"How does this thing work?" Bae moved the nozzle close to her eye. "The flames should come out-"

"I can't!" You yelped.

Worriedly, you took the blowtorch out of her hands and stood up.

"Wha- hey! C'mon give it here!" Bae stood up and flung her now empty hand in the air trying to get the canister from a height above your head.

"You literally almost turned your eye into goop, Bae!"

"Aw, you're worried about me!" Bae teased. "Give it back!"

"Yes - and no!" You backed away. "It's too dangerous!"

"You wouldn't think I would look cool with an eye patch, just like Marine-senpai?" Bae kept advancing you.

"Look, that's aside the poi-!" Something rammed the back of your heel, causing you to fall back, sending the canister into the air, then onto your head.

"Y/N!" Bae yelled, dropping her block of cheese onto the floor, rushing as fast she could to your side.

...

"Over some insane DIY fried cheese, Baelz?" Kronii scolded the rat. "Are you insane?"

"Kronii, stop it please..." Mumei placed a hand on the Warden's shoulder. "Worrying about Y/N is more of her concern."

The Council had taken their day off simultaneously to meet you at the hospital by the news of you getting hurt.

"Hey, it's alright." You waved them off. "If it wasn't for Bae for getting me to the hospital, then I'd be dead!"

"Enough with the jokes, Y/N." Fauna nudged your arm. "You're lucky enough to get away with a concussion!"

"Seriously! Just by the thought of it, I would assume the same!" Sana shrugged her shoulders.

Baelz hadn't said a single word since she came in. She was at your side for as long as it was mentioned that visitors were allowed into your room.

She looked down at her lap with her right hand upon it, curled up, pulsating as she clenched it varyingly. The other hand gripped your right hand tightly, but not hard enough that it would hurt you.

"It's not your fault, Bae." You patted the top of her left hand with your free hand. "I just didn't trust you."

"D-Don't say it like it's your fault." She sniffled, the grip on your hand tightened. "You got hurt because of me..."

"It's not everyday you get domed with a blowtorch." You chuckled. "I'm here with you, that's all I care about."

"So what, that's it?" She looked up, tears streaming down her face. "You're not going to yell at me?"

"You think I'm going to yell at you for some accident?" You grinned. "I'd rather get domed again than see half of your face melted off."

"I wouldn't be able to see your cute face as a whole again..." You added, glancing away briefly. "Pause, I meant - no pun intended!

Baelz bursted out into laughter with a bright red glaze across her cheeks.

"Bae!" Fauna called out her name in a parental tone.

"What?" Bae replied mid-laughter. "That's the funniest thing I heard today!"

Bae sighed ending her fit, shifting her glance back towards you.

"And the sweetest one too." She smiled with a small bout of laughter.

...

After two weeks from your hospital discharge, you sat comfortably next to the rat on your couch.

"Cheese, coffee beans, blowtorch, and more cheese." Bae counted.

"Alright, hold this, and be still!" Bae handed you a block of cheese, whilst she armed herself with the blowtorch. "I'd hate to burn your hand off."

"Please don't." You grimaced.

"I won't." Bae clicked the blowtorch to life, adjusting the flow of propane through the nozzle by a black knob. "Okay, here we go!"

"Woah, too much!" You gasped. "The cheese is burning!"

"Whoops!" Bae turned the knob clockwise, reducing the hissing noise from the gas flow and turning the blue flames to a soft orange. "There we go."

Bae moved the torch around the block of cheese so that the cheese would form a golden-brown crust.

"Looks good!" Bae clicked off the torch and placed it down onto the table.

"Smells burnt." You coughed and looked away briefly.

"Smells good!" Bae rebutted. "It's not about the looks, it's the taste!"

"Right, now give it here!" Bae took the cheese by the wrapped end from which you held it and held it closely to her face. "Itadakimasu!"

Taking a large bite, Bae hummed in delight.

"Can I get a piece?" You held your hand out to pick a small portion of the cheese.

Instead of getting a handful, you suddenly got a mouthful.

Bae had "gave" you a sample of the cheese.

To your surprise, it tasted amazing!

Although you weren't too sure whether it was her lips or the cheese itself that tasted good.
