25 Days of Ramen (A Noblesse fic)

Chapter 6: Minty Ramen (that sounds disgusting actually)

Dec. 8

Gaaaaaah!!! I'm so sorry!!! I've been so busy, and I have had no time, and- and I just haven't been able to update. I'm sorry to everyone who's read this. I'll try to be better. I've got like three or four hours to just haul ass and write non stop, so that's what I'll hopefully be doing. Anyway. This one is about Frankenstein and Rai. I don't normally write about them, so bear with me here.

Enjoy!! (I'm really sorry its late)

...

"Master, I've prepared something special for you." A rather interesting aroma wafted into the living room, closely followed by Frankenstein, who was carrying a pot with mitted hands.

Rai glanced up from his ever-present tea and studied his servant as the blonde man made his way to the couch. Setting the steaming pot down in front of his master, Frankenstein lifted the lid and stepped back, explaining his concoction. "As you can see, Master, it is a new recipe that I decided to try out for the holiday season." His eyes went far away, and he mumbled to himself, "Optimum water temperature, noodle quantity, cook time..."

Rai set down his tea and slowly raised his hand towards the pot. Frankenstein shook himself out of his reverie and snatched up a pair of chopsticks, putting them carefully in Rai's hand. Setting a bowl and napkin in front of his master as well, Frankenstein retreated into the kitchen to let him eat.

The Noblesse waited a few minutes with his red eyes closed before moving from his position, to let the noodles grow. After a predetermined amount of time, Rai opened his eyes and turned to his waiting bowl.

Rai lifted the chopsticks loaded with some of the noodles and what looked to be pieces of what the children called 'candy'. It was striped and round, at least, it used to be. Now it appeared to have been broken to easy-to-eat pieces.

Rai lifted the chopstics to his mouth and chewed.

...

Frankenstein had been washing dishes left over from the batch of ramen he'd made for Master, when he heard chopsticks slacking softly against an empty bowl. Rushing out to the living room, he stood to the side of Rai, waiting for his next request.

The blonde man started when his wandering gaze landed on the pot. It was completely empty, and it looked to have been scraped clean as well, all traces of the ramen gone.

Rai blushed slightly and grabbed at his tea. Frankenstein fought to keep the surprised smile off of his face.

"More." The servant turned to his master. He'd just washed the dishes...

"Ah... Of course." He quickly changed his mind when he caught the look Master had on his face. Heading into the kitchen, he started the preperations for the net batch when Rai called him.

"Yes, Master?"

"Put more of the 'candy' in." This time, Frankenstein didn't bother to hide his grin.

"Of course, Master."

...

Wow. That was super ultra lame. Sorry. I'm better with characters who have real emotion. I just can't do the whole 'passive, indifferent' thing. Oh well. I'll really try to upload one tomorrow too.

Yours crazily,
