Femme Polygonal - ENA x Male Reader

Chapter 4 - Breakfast for Dinner

Dinner had been crafted, and the incredible aromas of breakfast wafted under Y/N's door. He had been sitting in his new room thinking for around an hour.

His life, as he knew it, has completely changed. Gone are the days of fulfilling orders he doesn't want to, and gone are the days of him staring at a ceiling, wall, or floor of white noise. For the first time in his life, Y/N had a grasp of freedom. It was a little overwhelming; from what Ena had told him about this place, Y/N had truly no idea of what it what. Despite living here for the past several, several years, he was more or less a stranger. It was also, however, it was truly exciting. Think about all the things Y/N could do now!

A soft knocking brought Y/N out of his thoughts. Ena leaned into his room, a frilly pink apron wrapped around her and a smile plastered onto her face.

Ena - "Fantastic news, Y/N, dinner is prepared for consumption!"

Y/N - "Fantastic news indeed. It smells sensational!"

Ena - "Why thank you!"

Y/N strode out of his room and joined Ena's side to walk back to her kitchenette. She strutted next to him, clearly pleased with herself (which was a good sign for the food) and smiling brightly at Y/N.

Y/N - "I like your apron, Ena."

Ena - "R-Really? Moony always says it's an 'assault on the eyes', but I'd never assault anyone..."

Y/N - "Nonsense! I think it looks lovely on you."

Ena's smile widened as she held her arms behind her back.

Ena - "Thank you."

Two large plates had been dished up with an almost comedic volume of eggs, bacon, sausages, and more spilling onto one another. Y/N didn't really eat when in the static house. Well, that's a bit of an understatement; Y/N didn't eat anything, as he didn't think that he needed to. However, his mouth was now watering at the volume of food.

Y/N - "Goodness Ena, you're quite the cook. Have you considered opening a restaurant?"

Ena - "A food establishment under my name?"

Y/N - "You could serve turrón."

This made her eyes sparkle with a new-born joy. She clapped her hands with determination and nodded to herself, possibly making a mental note to return to this train of thought later.

Ena - "You're quite the genius, Y/N."

Compliments? This was also a new development for Y/N, and it seemed like one that he'd have to get used to. They both sat down at Ena's counter and tucked in. The minute the food touched Y/N's mouth, he couldn't stop. In under a minute or so he had gobbled down the full mountain of food, drank a full tankard of water, and wiped his mouth perfectly clean, all the while Ena watched on in amazement and probably an ounce of horror.

Ena - "M-My goodness..."

Y/N - "Wow, I wasn't aware food was so wonderful!"

Ena - "Have you not eaten food before?"

Y/N - "I have not, but I will most certainly be starting now! Your cooking is simply amazing, Ena. And what is this?"

Y/N jabbed a rasher of bacon inquisitively.

Ena - "That is bacon."

Y/N - "...bacon..."

Ena looked at Y/N's curiosity with a shared wonder. He truly didn't know anything? It seemed to be the first time he had ever encountered such a common food.
