✨ Queen One Shots & Imagines ✨

Put out the fire!

What is there to say about this one???
This is a one shot about John cooking for you, and let's just say that John's favorite food is freaking cheese on toast, so if that doesn't give you an idea of his cooking skills I don't know what does. 😂👋🏽
Yes y'all... This one will feature John's cooking skills and experience - oh my!!
Yep, this one will be eventful!
ENJOY! ❤️

It was you and John's third date together, and this time rather than going out, you two decided to spend time together at John's house.
Besides, it was easier that way. You could avoid the mass amount of fans (even though John and the other members of Queen loved them dearly) and most importantly - the press.

"Want anything to drink?" John asked you.
"Any wine? Beer? A regular drink?"
"I'm fine. I don't need anything right now." You lied, knowing that you were actually pretty hungry and would have liked some food.
I should have eaten before I came here... You thought to yourself.
You knew that John didn't have his own chef and you didn't want to bother him by making him cook for you or take you out to eat.
He's probably eaten already anyway.. You thought, noticing that it was already 10 o'clock at night.

"You sure?" John asked once again.
You just nodded.
"Well, just let me know if you need anything. What's mine is your's." He said with a warm smile.
"So, is it time to watch the movie?" You asked John, trying to hide your excitement.

Not that long ago, John told you that Queen would be providing the soundtrack for the movie "Highlander" and you were finally getting to see it tonight.

In fact, that was why John suggested that the two of you could spend time at his place - just to watch the movie.

"If you want to, we don't have to, I know you're probably tired of Queen this Queen that - blah blah blah.." John said with a laugh.
"Now you know I'm a huge fan of Queen, John! I want to see it!"
John simply nodded and picked out the tape of "Highlander."
"You're the first fan of ours to watch this, ya know? We haven't even released it yet."
"I must say, I feel pretty special." You said with a giggle.

The movie was definitely different than you had expected. It was slightly hard to follow, and you asked questions nearly the whole time the film was playing.
However, when you finally got it, you really liked the concept of the film and couldn't help but get lost in what was going on in the story.
That was until your stomach decided to interject how it was feeling, which wasn't what you wanted considering you were cuddled up so close to John.

All of a sudden, your stomach let out one of the loudest rumbles you had ever heard.
"You alright, love?" John asked you.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." You lied, once again.

The film continued to play and so did the noises from your almost empty stomach.
Eventually, John spoke up once again.
"Are you sure you're alright?"
You decided to tell John, knowing that it probably wasn't that big of a deal if you were hungry.
He won't mind.. John's the sweetest. Besides, he told you if you needed anything to just let him know.

"I'm actually really hungry," you said, making John laugh.
"Yeah, I figured. Either that or you needed to head on to the loo," he said with a chuckle.
"I would call and get take out pizza or something but they might take a while. I'll just make something for you."
"Oh, no no no! Don't worry about it! I can wait for the pizza people to get he-"
"I've got this! I've got this! You go ahead and keep watching the movie while I make you something. Let me see what we've got!"

You waited for a few moments before John reemerged from the kitchen.
"Looks like our options are soup.. Potatoes... Pasta-"
"Ooh the fun pasta noodles! Like the little bow tie ones? Those are so cute!" You said, giggling at how excited you sounded about a grain.
John laughed with you and shook his head while trying to suppress his chuckling.
"Yes, the bow tie ones. I'm assuming you want that kind."
You nodded and flashed him a big grin, and off he went to make you some pasta.

You ended up pausing the movie and waiting for John to come back even though he had seen the film before.
At first the wait for food seemed bearable, but eventually you were pretty sure your stomach was going to not just "talk" but "yell" if you didn't get some food in it soon.

"John, you almost done in their babe?" You asked him.
"Uh- um.. Yeah! I've got it! It should be done any moment!"
You could tell that something sounded off in John's voice.
He sounded stressed or worried.

"You alright?" You questioned.
"Oh, yes of course everything's fi-"
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
...The smoke alarm..
"OH, DAMN IT!" John yelled from the kitchen.
"JOHN!" You called, running over to the kitchen.

The sight you saw in front of you was unlike any other.
The pot on the stove was on fire, John was trying to put out the fire (haha Queen song jokes) that had spread to his pant leg, and the smoke alarm was blasting all throughout the house, making John's facial features fall into a terribly displeased expression.

"Goodness!" You yelled before grabbing a pot holder and practically beating John's thigh with it.

"Ouch! Ah! Ow! Alright, Alright I think you put it out [Your name] I can't feel my leg anymore!" John yelled as he took the pot holder from you and attacked the rest of the fire with it.
Eventually the two of you succeeded in putting out the fire and all you both could do was sigh with relief.

"I got the smoke alarm!" You said to John when you caught your breath.
You quickly fixed the chirping noises that erupted from it and let out another sigh of relief when you felt you could finally breathe again.

"So.. What happened, John?" You asked, trying not to giggle and embarrass him.
"Well.." John began after a few moments of silence.
"I've never really been a great cook.. I don't know what I was thinking.." He said as he placed his head in his hand and chuckled.
"I mean, I've never really had to cook for other people before, you know? I've always either went out to eat or made something simple for myself."

"It's okay John.. It's fine! I've never been much of a cook myself," you said.
You could tell he was pretty embarrassed and felt awful for him.

John continued to shake his head and try to hide his crimson face from you as he turned to face the pot that held the now nearly black pasta bow ties.
"Well, I guess you won't want any of this mess, will you?" John asked you, referring to the pasta.
"No, I'm afraid not!" You said, giggling at John's quirky humor.

"Hey.. How about you just make me something simple like you mentioned earlier? What do you usually eat that's super easy to make?" You asked him.
"Uh.. Well, I- I.. Oh my... You're going to laugh at me when I tell you what I usually eat." He said with an eye roll.
"Pssshhh, please! What is it, John? You can tell me - I won't laugh."
After a few silent moments John spoke up again.

"Okay, fine. Promise you won't laugh?"
You nodded, hoping and praying that you would keep your promise once John broke the news to you.

"Well.. I usually just eat cheese on toast."

Aaaanddd you lost it.
You couldn't help but just die laughing.
The way he said it was what made it so funny.
He sounded like a cute little school boy and you couldn't help but laugh about it.

"Hey, you promised!" He said.
"I know i- it's weird but b- but it's true." He tried to say, but couldn't because your raging laughter made him laugh too.

"The way you said it was funny! That's all it was!" You said in between your loud giggles.

After you two got yourselves together, you both agreed on making cheese on toast.
You both ended up eating cheese on toast together on the couch as you both finished up the rest of the movie.

"That was amazing. Complex, but amazing." You said as the movie credits rolled down the tv screen.
"The cheese on toast or the movie?" John joked, making you laugh.
"The movie silly!" You said as you gave him a playful punch on the arm.
"Honestly, I really liked the cheese on toast. You may not be able to make pasta, but you can make a mean cheese on toast." You said as you gave him a peck on the cheek.
