Idea: Y/N is Frypan's new assistant in the kitchen.

            Living in the Glade was something to get adjusted to. It had been a few days since Y/N first remembered her name, and to be honest it felt much better than everyone calling her 'girl'. She had finally started her work in the kitchen, as it felt most natural to her. It was much better than to work as a slicer. Just thinking about having to do that made her shudder.
            "It's nice to have someone else in the kitchen with me," Frypan says, cutting up cheese for dinner. "It'll be nice to not have to do so much by myself." Y/N smiles back at him, preparing something with him. Frypan was the nicest boy in the entire glade.
              He was the one to bring her some food to eat on her first day. Scared, confused, and alone somewhere in the forest, Frypan had brought her a ham and cheese sandwich and some water to help calm down her. Not only that, he had sat with her and told her everything she needed to know.
             Now, the two were close friends. But to Y/N, they were much closer. She was practically head over heels for the boy. Whenever she got close to him, she could feel her heart start to race. She hoped that it wouldn't be too much of a distraction to work with him.
            "I'm glad I get to cook." Y/N giggles, "I must've liked cooking before I got sent here." She looks over him. "Don't you think so? How long have you been the only cook?"
           "About two years." He nods, "Most people just feel more comfortable with other jobs. Those who have tried either are bad cooks or find it too hard." He shrugs. "And I don't have time to teach people to cook, since I have to feed people on a schedule."
            "Well, your food is quite amazing." Y/N comments, "You'd think in a place like this you'd have to eat rocks and mud." Frypan and Y/N both laugh, "I'm lucky to have you." Frypan tries to hide a blush.
            "Shucks, Y/N, thank you." His eyes seem to brighten at that. "No one has ever told me that before. That's really sweet." He finishes what he was doing, continuing to the next step. "I'm lucky to have you as well."

            Soon, it was time to eat. Y/N sat with Frypan, eating the wonderful creation they had spent a while working on.
           "This is the most amazing thing I'm sure I've ever eaten!" Y/N smiles wide, shoving spoonfuls of the food into her mouth, eating like her life depended on it. Frypan chuckles, scooting closer to her and leaning on her a little.
            "You look so cute like that-" Frypan says, before blushing and realizing what just came out of his mouth. "I said that out loud, didn't I?" He turns red, chuckling nervously. "I mean...just slow down, okay? I don't need you choking or anything."
            Y/N could also feel a blush rise to her cheeks. She put her spoon back down into her food, coughing in disbelief. "W-what? I look cute to you?" She looks at Frypan, "...Really? Honestly?"
            Frypan sets his food aside, taking her hand. "I wouldn't lie to you." He says, looking her in the eyes. "I...I really like you, Y/N. You probably won't like me back- and I understand that. I'm not the most handsome...or smartest. Or-"
            He was interrupted by the warm feeling of Y/N's kiss. She had wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to her. He was stunned for a second, before leaning back into her kiss. His lips were soft, his kiss delicate. The kiss lasted for a few seconds before Y/N pulled away.
            "I'm sorry...I should've asked first-" She blushes. "But, I do like you. I like you a lot." She goes back to holding his hand. "You're my best friend here, and I think you're the best glader here." She giggles. "It would be an honor to be your girlfriend."
            Frypan smiles, pulling her close and hugging her as tight as he could. "It would be an honor to be your boyfriend!" He laughs.
