Together Till' Death Do Us Part (Reader X Hu Tao)

(Seven): Burnt cookies

*Yaaawn*

Good morning, sleepyhead. I've prepared breakfast.

That day you woke up early to go hunt some hilichurls.

...

"Hu Tao? Is everything ok?"

"Yeah, you're just cute~"

"(She's always been like this, but is she really flirting with me like Yanyan says? Have I really been so rudely ignoring her for all this time? Should I try flirting back????? Ugh... I'm so confused.)"

You blushed a bit, she didn't seem to notice

"Yanfei is still sleeping, right?"

"Yup..."

"I'll wake her up in a minute..."

For some reason chatting with her in the morning made you feel relaxed, even if it was some trivial chit-chat.

...

"Hu Tao? Is everything ok? You haven't touched the pancakes..."

"It's just that..."

"Hm?" (Oh no. Did I do something wrong?)"

You started to think about everything you had done recently, trying to find what was it that annoyed her. You found nothing.

"How can you cook so well? I literally am older than you and have been practising since I was a child, but you still manage to outcook me every. Single. Time."

"(Phew) do you want me to teach you?"

The girl's eyes widened open like she had just seen Rex Lapis come back from the dead

"You would do that?!"

"Y-yeah, but calm down"

"Can you shut up?!" Yanfei yelled from the bedroom

"Yeah! Sorry Hu, Yanyan's always kind of grumpy when someone wakes her up, she'll probably just go to sleep again in a minute." You whispered, your voice barely audible.

"O-ok" she had never heard her friend in such a bad mood before.

"Anyways, are you ready?"

"Eh? Didn't you have to go kill hilichurls?"

"You're more important, now, go change your clothes and we'll start!"

The girl nodded and bolted away, somehow you didn't notice that she was as red as a pyro slime, if not even more.

Ten minutes later...

"Ok, I'm ready to start, chef!"

"Perfect! Let's start with cookies!"

"Heck yeah!"

"Guys! It's my only free day in the whole week and I would very much enjoy it if you let me sleep!" Your voice woke Your sister up yet again

"Sorry!" You said in unison.

"I've already got the ingredients, let's start cooking"

"Yes Sir!"
