Sunflower and Me ~ A Yuuxuan Story

Prolouge: Right After the Wedding

Yuuhime's head pounded as she sat up, groaning. What did she do last night?

Oh, wait.

She sat up, her face red. She was married now!!

"Good morning, beautiful," Xuan said, laying right next to her, "how did you sleep?"

"G-good." She replied, smiling at him. "But my head hurts so bad..."

"That's because somebody had the bright idea to bring wine," he sighed, shaking his head, "I'm pretty sure it was Yun Chuan."

"Oh...did I drink a lot?" She whispered.

"No, not at all!"

"Then why do I have a hangover...?"

"You don't seem the type to drink a lot, but I can't make assumptions."

"Well, you're right. I hardly drink at all. I just got excited last night."

Xuan gave Yuuhime a pat on her head, a soft smile on his face. "I'll take good care of you today, don't worry."

She blushed, smiling up at him as he got up.

"Can you make pancakes for me?" She sweetly asked. Xuan nodded.

"Of course I can, my Yuuhime."

"How the hell do you make pancakes??!!" Xuan whisper-screamed into the communicator. He had perfected his chicken noodle soup, and his desserts, especially cookies and he hoped ice cream soon too. He was getting the hang of steak, but he never thought about making pancakes before.

It would have been easy if he had a mix, but he didn't and he was NOT leaving his wife today.

Wife.

The title gave him the jitters. He smiled and finally decided on a recipe.

"Alright, this should make eight pancakes." He said aloud, gathering all the ingredients. "I'll split it to make four, two for me and two for her."

He swiftly poured the flour and other "dry" ingredients into a bowl, mixing until it was satisfied. Next, he poured the right amount of liquids into the bowl and mixed. He heard the stove alert him that it was hot enough for cooking, so he poured the ready mixture onto the pan he had prepared and watched the fluffy pancake like a hawk.

"The recipe said to cook it for about 10 minutes or until golden crispy," Xuan said to himself, "then I'll flip it."

The pan had enough room for two pancakes. Watching them was the easy part.

He never knew flipping something could be so challenging!

"Grrr..." he growled as he messily flipped the pancake over. "You will be perfect for Yuuhime!"

The pancake sizzled in response, bubbling and gurgling as it cooked.

Finally, it was ready. He decided these ones would be for him. The nice and hot ones would be for his Yuuhime.

This time, he flipped them easier. They were still messy, but not as messy as his.

"Let's see..." he searched his fridge, grabbing out whatever sweets were inside. Whipped cream, strawberries, blueberries, and as a treat, a scoop of matcha ice cream.

Perfect! Now all he needed was a tasty drink. Unfortunately, all the juice had ran out, as did the milk and only a few sodas that Yuuhime wouldn't want remained.

"Come on!" He snapped. "This breakfast has to be perfect!"

He huffed as he turned to his pantry. Maybe he had some water sweeteners.
