Cooking

Summary: Ty is cooking dinner in the Team Crafted house and Adam decides to help.

Today was Ty’s day to cook the meals at the Team Crafted mansion. Actually, it had more to do with Ty getting sick or annoyed with eating-greasy-fat-food-and-barf-made-or-bought-by-lazy-guys then it did with whose turn it was to cook. In fact, Ty volunteered to cook saying he needed to practice cooking anyway, while he secretly prayed that no-one would help and ruin the food he would make. Now don’t misunderstand him. He liked the guys, but sometimes they are a handful.

So, here was Ty sitting in the kitchen cooking spaghetti with garlic bread sticks. The sweet aroma of tomato and basil with the hint of garlic filled the kitchen and seeped through the crevices of the house. The beautiful scent made its way to the guys of the house, which made each guy excited to eat an actual meal. One guy, in particular, was really excited for the meal and couldn’t help himself as he walked down to the kitchen to see what Ty made.

As Ty was trying to figure out what to make for dessert, he suddenly felt a presence slowly making its way towards the kitchen. Ty groaned in his head, annoyed that he had to deal with someone that is going to interrupt him cooking.

‘Watch, it’s going to be Adam.’ Ty predicted. Ty considers Adam a good friend, but Adam had a tendency to try and “help” with anything that Ty did. Most of the time, the result ended in disaster.

“Hey Ty! What are you making? Do you need any help?” Adam questioned his best bud while taking in the strong yet sweet aroma of the kitchen.

‘Looks like I was right again. This makes this the 158th time. What am I, psychic?’ Ty grimaced internally.

“U-um….I guess you could help me figure out dessert?” Ty replied back. ‘aaaaand now I set myself up for a mess. Great’ Ty scolded himself in his head.

“Oh. How about a cake? Maybe Marble? I can make it while you concentrate on dinner.”

“Okay, sure” Ty just couldn’t say no to Adam.

So the two guys proceeded with cooking/baking the dinner and the dessert. The whole time, Ty tried not to look at what Adam created so he could save himself from any type of disaster that could possibly happen. However, when Adam finally took the cake out of the oven he was amazed at what he saw. It was a beautifully chocolaty swirled cake. ‘Wait, don’t let my guard down.’ Ty thought, ‘It all depends if it is safe to eat.’

“We have to allow the cake to cool before I add my homemade frosting to it. So we should eat dinner and have dessert way later.” Adam told Ty.

“Okay.”

After dinner was done and all the guys complimented Ty on how well he cooked or how it was amazing that he can create edible food, Ty and Adam cleared away the dishes. They asked if anyone wanted to eat dessert, but everyone said that they were stuffed so they would have the dessert later.

“I guess it is just you and me then Ty.” Adam said.

“Yeah, I really want to try the cake.” Ty replied back.

So they went into the kitchen and Adam quickly frosted the marble cake with a buttercream chocolate frosting. He then proceeded to slice a small piece and hand it to Ty on a tiny round plate.

‘All or nothing I guess’ thought Ty.

Ty took a bite of the marble cake and was awed by how the cake melted in his mouth. The chocolate and vanilla of the cake balanced in a unique way. The frosting added to the smooth texture of the moist cake and created a perfect harmony on his tongue.

“W-wow. This is…there are no words worthy enough to describe how delicious this is!” Ty said in awe.

“Thank you Ty.”

“How in the world can you bake so well? I mean, I have eaten some of your burnt food so how did you make something so majestic?” Ty was really curious.

“Actually, back at home I usually baked sweets as a way to relax. I never really learned how to cook meals, just desserts. So I guess you could say it is a talent to both burn water and bake delicious sweets.” Adam said.

“It’s the same for me when I cook, but my desserts are mediocre at best.”

“Well, how about you teach me how to cook while I teach you how to bake. It can be like a Saturday thing.” Adam suggested.

“Sure, that sounds good.”

It was known from that day on, Adam and Ty would cook/bake every Saturday and slowly fall in love with each other more and more.

AN: I am thinking about making this into a small story. Should I make this into an actual story with multiple chapters?
