Fuyuhiko x Peko

Chapter 11 Life's bitter taste is much more sweet when it's spent with you

The sound of pounding rain knocked at Peko's window as she sat up in bed and rubbed her eyes groggily. 

She instinctively got out of bed, changed into her usual clothes and went to go check on Fuyuhiko, who was still fast asleep. 

Peko carefully opened the door slightly, just enough for her to look in. As usual, Fuyuhiko was all snug and asleep in bed. 

Peko quietly slipped into the room and knelt by his bedside. 

"He looks so peaceful when in slumber..."  Peko thought to herself as she reached out and gently stroked his cheek.

Fuyuhiko's eyes flickered open as Peko pulled her hand away. 

"Waddaya doin..?" Fuyuhiko spoke, still in a daze. 

"I came in here to tell you that school has been canceled today due to hazardous weather conditions.." Peko stated as she watched Fuyuhiko sit up. 

"Alright then.." Fuyuhiko replied simply as he gazed out the window. "Looks like we got poured on".

"Yes. Indeed." Peko responded as she stood up along with Fuyuhiko. 

Fuyuhiko scratched his head and turned to face Peko. 

"Well, since we got no school today we should think of somethin to do." he suggested as Peko pondered the thought. 

"We could start off with breakfast." Peko said as she ushered him into the kitchen nearby.

"I would want to help but...I don't...reallyknowhowtocook..." Fuyuhiko fumbled his last few words. 

"I'm sorry?" Peko said, clueless on what he said.

"I don't really know how... to... cook..." Fuyuhiko admitted as he turned his head away in shame. 

Peko nodded. "That is fine, I don't cook that much either." she admitted with a shrug. 

Fuyuhiko's face was plastered with a smirk as he chuckled to himself.

"How about we go out to eat? It'll be easier." Fuyuhiko suggested.

"But...The weather outside is not very safe." Peko warned as Fuyuhiko's smirk never faded. 

"It's just a storm. But you got a point...What if...No thats a bad idea..." Fuyuhiko mumbled to himself as he hesitated to his sudden thought. His smirk began to fade.

"Did... you have something in mind..?" Peko asked as Fuyuhiko shrugged and nodded slightly. 

"Yeah...It's a stupid idea.." 

"How so...?" Peko said as she searched her mind for an answer and managed to think up the same thing as he. 

"Inviting Teruteru to cook for us...?" Peko said, almost questioningly. 

Suddenly, the collective pitter patter of footsteps echoed closer and closer as the two dramatically turned their heads in the direction from where the noise is coming from in slow motion.

Within a few seconds after, Teruteru came crashing in through the door. "Did somebody call for a super high school level chef~?" he spoke in a confident tone as Peko and Fuyuhiko stared in absolute confusion. 

"How the hell did you even get here?? The streets are nearly flooded with water!!" Fuyuhiko huffed as the chef chuckled in response.

"I have my ways." Teruteru replied simply.

"Anyways, what brought you to call my name?" Teruteru questioned with a curious smirk.

The couple exchanged a look of hesitation before answering.
