CLOSED STARTER for @kyson-sol at comic emporium

“Hey,” Kyson greeted, as he entered the comic emporium.

Kyson’s face lit up, as the plated vegan chili was placed in front of him. The smell alone was enough to make his stomach grumble. “I mean,” He replied, looking at her with a smile that just couldn’t leave his face. “You certainly proved me wrong. I know I’ll be leaving here satisfied.”

“I’m not going to say no to free food,” Blossom responds, somewhat intrigued by the offer, “but it’s a recipe you’ve done before right? I’m not going to be a TikTok recipe guinea pig am I? Because you know most of that stuff is just for views, right?”

“I’d be offended if you said no.” He joked, a small smile tugging on his lips. “I’ve made a mix of new recipes, and some I made many times.” One of the recipes was from TikTok, but it wasn’t some viral rage bait recipe. When he watched the video loop, it looked like any other dish he’s cooked before. “You are going to be my TikTok guinea pig, I did take one recipe from there. You’ll just have to guess which one it is.”

“I could eat.” Kate said, flatly. She didn’t want to seem too eager, but she could smell the dinner he’d made from a mile off, and it had made her stomach rumble enough times to bring her straight to his apartment. “Is it something spicy? I’ll be really disappointed if my organs don’t feel like they’re being put through the literal burning flames of hell.” Luckily, her apartment wasn’t far, and she could easily run to get her infamous hot sauce. She had a penchant for punishing her insides, as much as she did everyone else.

“Great!” His face lit up with genuine excitement. Kate might not have been too thrilled, but knowing he prepared a good meal for others always made him happy. His face slowly fell, as he realized he didn’t make anything spicy. Kyson, cannot handle the spice. “Unfortunately my spice tolerance is low.” He admitted as he nervously bit his lip. “I do have some red pepper flakes somewhere in my cabinets.”

"Aw, lookit that. Red looks good on you," Ash teases the moment he catches the flush that blooms on Kyson's face. At least he made his friend smile, even if it also made him bashful over it. "How are you doing on morning three of our dystopian empire? Like, it sucks we can't charge our phones and all..."

Kyson rolled his eyes, “shut up.” He laughed, playfully nudging his friend. “I’m doing alright. I’ve been trying to do some work.” He shrugged. Even during a blackout he had to carve out some time to grade papers. Though his workload felt endless. “What about you?” Kyson laughed, softly. “It does, but we’ll manage, right?”

Jordan paused and looked the food over with a wrinkled nose. “You’re just handing out food to people? I don’t know about this. It’s giving me Jeffrey Dahmer vibes when he tried to give the neighbour sandwich and lucky she didn’t eat that flesh meat.”

“Jeffery Dahmer, huh?” He laughed. “I just got in the zone, and cooked way too much food.” Kyson put his hands up in surrender. “I swear, nothing sinister here. I’m just a guy who clearly doesn’t know portion control.”

Mireya smiled when she saw her neighbor there, surprised by the knock on her door that evening, but when he said why he was there, she laughed, biting her lip as she shrugged, “Maybe?” She replied, tilting her head slightly, “Depends on what it is since I have a very picky child to feed too.”

Kyson chuckled softly, as he was leaning against the doorframe. “What you think I wouldn’t bring over delicious food for the lady and a very picky child?” He said, a smile tugged at his lips.

As much as Kyson loved having tourists around, he was secretly glad they were gone. “I’m not going to miss them.” He laughed.

“That depends…are you gonna be poisoning me?” Kangmin asked as he stopped in by his neighbor’s apartment. “Fuck it, I’ll take my chances. I doubt Alfie’s gonna welcome me with a nice, home-cooked meal. What’s on the menu tonight?”

“Because you asked,” Kyson paused, letting the words hang in the air for effect. “Yes, yes I did.” He chuckled, softly. “I made your favorite of course. I knew if I did this you’d just have to come over.” He smirked, fully aware well he could have just invited Kangmin without dangling food as bait.

She matches his smile, nodding along. "Oh, same. I get lost just staring into the water some days," she says dreamily, then glances around. "I imagine anybody randomly waking up and half asleep might trip out a little, though. Anyway, I'm glad this place has the full power setup. I think my apartment is turning into an oven as we speak..." Here she gives a thoughtful pause. "...I think we might be neighbors." @kyson-sol

“I can only imagine.” Kyson’s eyes flicked back to the water. If Kyson worked at the aquarium, he knew he’d lose track of time watching the fish drift back and forth. “I’m so thankful for the full power setup. I was thinking of going to the high school.” Kyson admitted. “I didn’t want to run into any of my students. I’m not going to lie, I’m worried they’d want assistance with assignments or try and gossip with me.” As much as Kyson cared for his students he did want to set boundaries with them. “I don’t want to think about that right now.” He groaned. “That’s why you look so familiar. We are.”

Kyson was more than a little bit of proud that he figured out Juliet’s weakness. “It’s a good thing, I already knew this.” He said, as his brows were arching, and a smirk tugged his lips. “I can promise you this, you won’t be leaving hungry.”

Spencer was never the kind of person to ever turn down a free meal. Especially because his own cooking habits were pretty limited to what he had in the kitchen. It wasn’t that he didn’t know how to cook. He just knew how to cook his grandma’s recipes that usually required quite a bit more ingredients than he had at any given moment. “ I mean, I will never say no to free food but like what are we having?” @kyson-sol

“How can you turn down a free meal made by me.” His grin spreading wide across his lips. Cooking had always come easy for him, being self sufficient made him sure of it. “I got almost anything you could think of,” Kyson paused, and let out a breath. “Except meat. It’s all veggies and tofu in this apartment.”

“Yes, don’t have to ask me twice!” she said, squeezing her way past him. When she got the text from Kyson, she all but lurched off her couch and sped down to his apartment. It was as if the universe knew her deepest needs in the moment. “My dads are out of town, so a girl can only have grilled cheese so many days in a row.” Utterly pathetic. “What did you make?”

Kyson stepped aside with a grin, letting her pass as he closed the apartment door. Kyson lead them into the kitchen, gesturing to the food displayed on the counter. “What didn’t I make?” He said smugly, very proud of himself. Cooking wasn’t new to Kyson, but this time he did experiment with new recipes. Kyson felt he executed them flawlessly. “Before you ask, it is vegan.”

“That depends, what we having?” Pru questions, looking towards the kitchen curiously.

“It’s a good thing I’m a vegan.” Kyson chuckled softly. “No chicken wings here, but I do have vegan chicken wings. Supposedly, my super secret recipe has fooled a few people into thinking it was real.” Kyson smiled, though his expression hinted he didn’t fully believe the statement.

“Sure, I was going to ask if you wanted to grab a bite to eat anyway.” Hinata replied with an amused expression on his face. “What’d you make, and just how much do you mean when you say overboard?”

Kyson chuckled, a grin spread across his lips. “Let’s just say, it’s enough to serve a very small party.” Kyson stepped aside, motioning Hinata into the kitchen. The food lined the counter tops. “So, what food are you in the mood for. I’ve probably already cooked it.”
