Burning Love

TW: This story will include depressive episodes, panic attacks, death of a family member, and traumatic events. If any of these topics are triggering, please do not proceed.

Orchid has been in some deep crap, she'll admit that.
What she won't admit is her deep fear of cooking. She absolutely loves it, but the thought of getting another severe burn to forever remind her of yet another failure. She couldn't take anymore mistakes. Not after her last one. But of course, when things get bad, her best friend Orion is there by her side. What would she do without her daring friend to be the calm to her storm?

Orion doesn't know what putting yourself first means.
Well, that's not entirely true. He knows what it means, he just doesn't... do it. He's aware it's unhealthy, but when your older brother died way too soon, taking time to yourself only fuels the thoughts. And besides, how are you supposed to react when your best friend since diapers is clearly struggling as well? Not only that, but what do you do when you're hopelessly in love with her?
