The cure for one is the cure for the other (PaperHat Fic) [Ongoing]

Burnt.

I have no idea what to expect.
I follow sheepishly behind him as he leads me through the halls of the manor.

I must admit that I'm a little nervous,
Usually black hat and "surprises" never end well...

If I walk into his office only for him to show me something dead,
like how a cat brings you a dead bird as a "gift",
I'm going to be real upset with him.

Or maybe he's taking me somewhere more private for, other reasons...
Although if that was the case we probable would've stayed in my room-

What I'm I even thinking?
why would I even think about that sort of thing?!?

I shake the thought from my mind,
but it creeps back like poison.
My mind starts to wander, but I quickly stop myself.

Now is not the time.
not that there ever is a good time to fantasize about my boss...

I get snapped from my thoughts when I bump into something.
I hadn't even noticed that Black hat had stopped walking.

"Lost in thought doctor?~" He teases

If only he knew...
"What are we doing here?" I quickly change the subject,
Suddenly realizing that we had stopped in front of my lab.

He opens the door,
"Guess you'll have to wait and see"
He stands to the side and extends his arm, gesturing for me to go in.
"After you~" he coos

"I swear to God if there's something dead in here" I say as I walk past him,
I scan the room, and to my relief I don't see anything amiss.

"Not this time dear, but I'll jot that down for next time~"

I shoot a look at him, but he looks as smug as always.

He walks ahead of me towards the little kitchen area, and pulls out a chair.
"Now, if you'll have a seat" He says trying to hide his smile.

I hesitantly sit down, still a little suspicious as to what this surprise could be.

He takes off his coat and lays it across the top of a chair, and I stare at him in confusion.

"Just so you know, your bear child is a menace.
I took me nearly the entire time you were gone to acquire the information I needed." He says annoyed

"Information?" I say distracted, as I watch him fold up his sleeves.
I have no idea what he's up to,
But I must admit I do enjoy seeing him so dressed down...

"This~" He says proudly as he pulls out a piece of paper from his pocket and holds it in the air.

I'm not sure what it is, but I can tell that it's in my handwriting.
I squint my eyes to get a better look.
It looks like some sort of recipe?

"What is that?" I ask tilting my head to get a better look.
Black hat mirrors me and tilts his head to keep eye contact.
"You promised me once that you would cook for me, remember~" He says with a grin

The pieces click together in my head.
"Oh! Do you want me to cook for you?" I say excited.

"Well that was the plan" His gaze shifts down to my bandaged hand.
"but now that you've hurt your hand,
I'm not sure how good of an idea it'll be"

"I suppose it's up to me now~" He says proudly

A mix of happy surprise and dread hits me all at one.
"Wait, you're cooking?" I ask, trying to mask my concern.

"Don't sound too surprised, if the bear can do it, I can surly figure it out." He says with a tone of superiority.

"have you cooked before?" I ask amused
