Gordon Ramsay x Concerned Spoon

Chapter 1: The First Encounter.

Gordon Ramsay was preparing to go do his usual rounds in the kitchen, when suddenly he looked out the window that viewed the kitchen, a boy was standing there, looking to see if there was anyone in the front part of the restaurant, Gordon Ramsay thought, "That must be the new employee, I hope he's prepared unlike the last employee." As he walked into the front of the restaurant.

 "Good morning, my name is Gordon Ramsay, you must be the new employee I got recommended from a so called friend of mine." Ramsay says, in his usual cocky tone. The boy looked at him, and said in a slightly voice cracked and nervous tone, "Yes, I am uhm.. please don't make fun of my name, but my name is Concerned Spoon, But you can call me Spoon if you would like" Spoon says as he nervously looks at the floor.

 A slight chuckle slipped out of Ramsay's mouth. "Alright, Spoon. I won't make fun of your name. But with that aside, we need to go through some of the ground rules, understood? Remember, this is my kitchen, so my rules" Ramsay says as he looks at Spoon.

 Spoon looked at Ramsay again, and said with confidence, "Yes sir. I am ready to learn under your rules and expectations. I will become one of the greatest chefs thanks to your guidance, training and possibly form a friendship..?" Spoon says as he tries not to make it obvious that he had already adapted a liking to Ramsay, even if it seemed weird in the matter of them only knowing each other for a short time, not a day even.

 Ramsay looked at him, his cocky, chef tone came out while he spoke, "I'm glad that you want to be a great chef, but I really find it ridiculous for you to think that we could be friends? Heavens, no! That's way off of my thought process, let alone a thought I'd have in general." Ramsay says before leaving to go back to the kitchen with Spoon following him. 

They soon were in the back part of the kitchen, and Ramsay was talking to him about the basic rules and what was expected from anyone, well, any employee that stepped foot into the main kitchen, let alone the restaurant.

 Spoon listened, nodding occasionally, and saying "Mhm" or "Yes sir" from time to time as well. They were soon done discussing the main topic for that day, and it was soon 5pm. "Now, tomorrow we will start in the kitchen, and you will learn the basics of what makes a dish stand out from a regular, greasy spoon type dish, to one of mine, a gourmet restaurant dish, as expected from this establishment."

 Ramsay says as he looks at Spoon. Spoon looked back, and eagerness filled his voice as he spoke. "Yes chef! I will be here bright and early tomorrow! I cannot wait to finally start to be guided and taught by the most famous chef I know, well, even the world knows!" Spoon says as he then leaves and goes back to his small apartment that was close to the restaurant.

 Ramsay stood in the now empty kitchen, that was only occupied by him. He thought about Spoon, and how ecstatic he sounded at the thought of working "under his wing" Sort of speak. He smiled, and then he closed up the restaurant for the night, and then heading to his house to prepare the materials he was going to bring with him tomorrow, for example, his famous cookbook with his various notes and own recipes, along with a new cookbook for Spoon, he was going to give it to him once he got there in the morning, so he could take his own notes or write his own recipes if he desired to do so. 

Spoon, was very excited to start officially working with Ramsay tomorrow, so he went to bed as soon as he got prepared to do so. The next day came soon enough, and then Spoon was at the restaurant 5 minutes before Ramsay was there to open the restaurant, because he was excited. Ramsay looked at Spoon, delighted that he came way before he was really supposed to come, to him, this showed dedication, dignity and pride. 

He spoke to Spoon as he unlocked the front door. "Spoon, as I said, we are going over how to tell the difference between one of my dishes, and some other greasy spoon of a restaurant." He says as he opens the door. Spoon smiled after seeing Ramsay smile, so he cheerfully says as he follows Ramsay into the restaurant.

 "I cannot wait, chef! I am really honored to be working with you, and I know that I'll become one of the chef's you'd hopefully consider as not only a close pupil, but an even closer friend" Spoon says, then Ramsay looked at him. Ramsay's smile faded as he was now going into his usual chef mode, "Again, I know you are honored and everything, but the kitchen is not a place of bonding or so called friendships.

 Now, follow me to the kitchen so we can begin your first lesson in the fine arts of cooking." Ramsay says as he and Spoon went to the kitchen to begin working together for the first time. Ramsay talked to Spoon for a while, and before they actually started the lesson, Ramsay handed Spoon the new recipe book he had gotten him the night before.

 "Here, any good aspiring chef to become the greatest he/she can be, needs to start somewhere." Ramsay says before explaining to Spoon about his experience in taking notes and experimenting with his own recipes at the time before they officially became what they are today. "Wow, my own recipe book, from Ramsay?! WOW! I cannot believe he gave this to me, and on the first day also!!" Spoon thought as he thanked Ramsay then they began his lesson. 

AN: I will be adding a new chapter every day hopefully or just really when I have time, so I hope you enjoy this crack fanfiction!
