@beithioch​ asked: [FOOD] - sender sets something to eat down in front of receiver. // based on master chef event? 😔

Cater has been looking forward to this all morning. A proper official excuse to skip a class and a free meal - this day can’t get any better. And while he doesn’t know anything about Malleus’ cooking skills (or lack thereof), he is optimistic that the Diasomnia housewarden is not going to disappoint. Malleus is one of those people who seem like they’re just naturally great at everything. At the very least he’s got to be above average decent at it, Cater figures. He busies himself taking a cute selfie and some pics of the table setting while he waits for the food presentation, daydreaming of the amazing photos he could take of Malleus if he just let him.. maybe one day he’ll forgive and forget and give Cater another chance.

     “I can’t wait!” Cater announces cheerfully. “I’m excited to see what Malleus-kun has made for us!” Idia next to him clearly does not share his enthusiasm as he anxiously looks up and down the table as if awaiting to be served poison. (Or worse: vegetables.) “Don’t be nervous, Idia-kun! I bet whatever Malleus is serving is going to be..” Cater says, just as Malleus steps out of the kitchen. He places the plates in front of them, each filled with a nice pile of fluffy looking pieces decorated with a gentle layer of white powder. Sugar. It’s sugar. Sugar on top of sweet caramelized pancake bites with warm juicy rum raisins. Cater’s stomach tightens uncomfortably.      “..a-amazing,” he finishes, a notable chunk of enthusiasm suddenly missing from his voice.

Out of all the possible recipes they could have given Malleus, he got the sweet main dish. Talk about bad luck. But there’s no way to refuse this without looking like a huge d-bag, so with a slightly wonky smile Cater picks up his fork.      “Thank you, Malleus-kun~ it looks delish..!”
