The Shadows of Fate

Two cream-puffs & One vodka

A yawn escaped Taiga's mouth as soon as he sat upright on his bed. It's 2 in the afternoon and he just woke up.

He did wake up earlier to serve his lovers' breakfast before they went out and slept again because it's his day-off and he got nothing to do but to sleep. Not that he's complaining.

Now he's hungry.

Well it is time for lunch

So he went downstairs while rubbing his eye, letting another yawn escape. He wonders if he should just cook instant ramen or udon. Udon takes more time though.

Taiga flinched when he saw Tetsuya in the kitchen peeling....boiled eggs? 2 eggs to be exact. Taiga watched him do it for a while with only one thing in his mind

How could someone be this slow in peeling an egg?

And the male looks so serious about it too

When Tetsuya finally noticed him, he greeted him before going back to his task. Taiga just sighs as he grabbed a bowl from their cupboards and filled it with cold water, "Here, peel the eggs under the water." He says, giving the bowl to Tetsuya.

Tetsuya mutters a small 'thank you' before doing his advice, unsure if it'll work. Thankfully though, the bowl of water worked and it certainly made his life easier.

He'll keep this hack for the future.

Meanwhile, Taiga started boiling the water in mere seconds. What's the use of waiting when you have magic anyways? Though he made sure to turn on the stove to maintain the heat after boiling the water while opening a pack of instant ramen.

As he waited for the noodles to cook, he went over to the fridge to get frozen beef, he made sure his hands were hot enough to soften the meat before washing it. He chopped the beef into pieces before seasoning it.

He can't help but glance at the other male in the room who's now eating the boiled eggs that he made, wondering how he can be full with just boiled eggs.

He tried to mind his business, however as time went by waiting for his meal to cook, he asked Tetsuya. "Is that the only thing you eat for lunch?"

Tetsuya tilts his head towards him, "I can only cook boiled eggs."

His answer made Taiga think how can he survive just by eating boiled eggs? Did he have nobody to teach him how to cook? "Boiled eggs are too light for lunch."

"This is only my breakfast."

Taiga could feel his forehead furrowing, what did he mean that's his only breakfast? Did he check the refrigerator? Taiga cooked–

The redhead paused, did he cook breakfast for the male?

Taiga had been providing Tetsuya breakfast seeing as how the male eats too little and he always put them in the refrigerator for him to heat it up when he wakes up.

He just thought it's human decency to do so. They don't want another near-death-sickness to happen, their doctor needs a break.

But the thing is—

"Was there...no food in the refrigerator?"

"There's vegetables and eggs."

Yep, he forgot to cook him breakfast.

Taiga faked his cough, grabbing another pack of ramen. "You should wait for the ramen to cook." he mumbles

Tetsuya had to ask for what he said as he couldn't hear him. Taiga cleared his throat, talking with his normal volume, "I'm cooking you ramen, so wait a bit." feeling guilty for not giving him proper breakfast.
