oh hey you actually followed through! im living with ochako rn, if you know where that is, or do you need actual directions? maybe itd be easier if i go to where you are so you dont have to carry a whole pot around everywhere?
[ Ochako probably knows and Mafuyu'll defer to her for directions-- five houses right, take a left, two houses down, etc etc, it's frustrating trying to navigate a town without proper street names or a working GPS ]
ugh youre living with the police guy ill come over if gurens not there!
good good ill come over then! give me 10 min to get over there!
[ flashforward ten minutes later-- banging on his door, in a very dull, heavy THUD THUD THUD that sounds like a heavy boot kicking at the door but it's really just her fist ]
Hey! I'm here, I'm here! [ as if he didn't hear her coming from miles away.
But she's glad to be here, always happy to be in the kitchen where all the magic happens— it isn't just microwaving boxed dinners, it's actual home cooked food and that's the only magic she'll accept in the world. ]
Did you have a hard time of it? Killing the goose and stuff?
It wasn't too bad, after someone told me what to do.
[At little gross (it was his first time killing and prepping an animal like that), but he was able to get it done. It's for the sake of cooking, after all!]
I hope it tastes good. [It does smell pretty good. He followed similar recipes to what Sojiro would use, though he doesn't have much in the way of spices...]
[ How good. She always half expects people to say "no, never mind" after learning what a pain things are and deciding it's not worth it, so she was doubly impressed at Akira's willingness to go through with everything. ]
I bet it will! [ It could be nothing but a bird in a pot of salt water and she'll probably think it's good, though, absolutely not picky as long as it's edible. ] You sit down too and let's eat together!
[Akira is willing to put up with a lot in the interests of gaining a confidant making a friend, after all! And Mafuyu isn't the most contrary of people he's dealt with.
He nods, ladling out the soup into the colorless bowls they have around the house and setting some in front of Mafuyu. Then he takes his own seat.
He's going to wait to see what she thinks before trying it himself.]
[ Mafuyu claps her hands together in a quick prayer before she digs in. There's no point in asking her what she thinks about it, because it's written all over her face: a wide smile and bright eyes, several spoons into her mouth before she realizes it's still and quiet from the other side of the table and she looks up at Akira. ]
—you too! You should eat too, before it gets cold!
He feels pretty happy in his accomplishment, now that he knows she's happy with it. He takes a few bites himself - it's not the best thing he's ever made, in his estimation, but seeing her happy makes him happy.]
[The text is in this horrible eyesear. Sorry Mafuyu.]
Hey it's Hunk, remember, the guy who's shin you clobbered oh wow is that my font colour? Oh my god just highlight it, that's actually terrible I'm so sorry.
Anyway, remember that tournament? You totally won a meal cooked by me, but uh I can't taste anything at all for some reason, do you got any requests so I can plan it for when I can taste something?
[ holy shit it's practically invisible on white and she doesn't think to highlight it until she painstakingly reads the entire first text
l e t t e r b y l e t t e r
and takes him up on his suggestion ]
yeah i got lots of requests!!! but before that, what do you mean you cant taste anything? are you sick?? respond w one letter: Y or N please nothing else just the one letter
[ Good. She squints at the single letter and nods to herself, oh thank god. ]
kk i wanted to make sure i wont catch anything from you, bc if i cant taste anything either i think ill die but ok ill come over to your place and you can tell me whats up!
[ why does his text color suck so bad!!!! when is somebody going to come up with the technology to invert colors on people's laptop screens so they can save their eyes
But she manages to decipher his cryptic invisible text and half an hour-ish later, there's heavy thudding on his front door, like she's slamming her fist into it instead of lightly tapping with her knuckles. (she is slamming her fist into it.) ]
Yeah! Yeah, I'm coming-- [Called like he's half afraid that his door might be the next victim on her rampage. They only knocked down one door thus far (to Hunk's knowledge) but still.
He looks perfectly healthy when he opens the door. Also normal. Since he's not in his fancy armour]
Hey. Couldn't stand the text colour that much, huh?
[ She's knocked down at least two, unfortunately. ]
You're alive! [ that out of the way, she pushes right past him, letting herself in ] Your text color sucked! I had to press my face right up to the screen just to read it, and even then it was really hard!
[ She laughs at that, because she could have been way less formal about it. She knocked on his door? That's already a lot more than she would usually give. ]
Why don't you just borrow one of your roommates' laptops? I think Dave does that a lot, sharing laptops and stuff even though his is a nice easy-to-read red. [ though the walls of text negate that immediately ]
Do you have roommates?
[ She's headed right for the kitchen, but that doesn't stop her from turning her head down the halls or upstairs or wherever bedrooms might be hiding. ]

I mean, yeah, Keith. His colour probably would be way better, since it's red...
[Hunk follows after her toward the kitchen, his mood dropping as they get close. FOOD... FOOD THAT HE CANNOT EAT...]
