Author's Note: Oh hello there ~ So I've finally post something up after centuries of being inactive. Once again, I'll be starting a 7 days challenge for this lovely, tragic, sweet, amazing, and perfect pairing which is obviously Mikoto x Totsuka. I tried to make them in character and oh god, it is damn difficult. I hope I'll get better as I write! Do stay tune! I hope you enjoy!

Prompt: Command
"King," Totsuka bent over the back of the couch, peering at his King who attempted a nap, his brown eyes locked onto Mikoto's face, "what do you want to eat?"
Mikoto groaned, turned to his side and faced the back of the couch, he was pretty sure that it was an obvious signal for the younger male to leave him to sleep. Guess he's wrong then. Persistently, Totsuka poked at Mikoto's shoulder and chanting the same old 'Come on, wake up ~' in his soothing voice that lulled Mikoto to sleep more than waking him up. When there was enough strength behind Totsuka's pokes to irritate Mikoto from going to sleep, Totsuka won himself the effort of Mikoto swatting his hand away.
"King, come on."
Totsuka retracted his hand and crossed them atop of the couch; a soft and amused smile graced his delicate features when he saw Mikoto prying an eye open at him. With a sigh, Mikoto sat up from his position and looked at Totsuka with the usual frown on his face.
"What do you want?"
"What do you want for lunch?"
"Huh?"
"I asked, what do you want for lunch?"
The frown on Mikoto's face deepened with slight curiosity and with yet another sigh, he replied, "Why do I have to choose?"
Totsuka visibly pondered at the question before once again beaming at Mikoto, "The King's wishes are our command, that's why."
Knowing that it is pointless to further this, Mikoto randomly picked a food that comes to mind and that was all it took for Totsuka to get off his case. Totsuka moved to the kitchen after patting down on the top Mikoto's head, making the usual scary looking Mikoto look like a child for a second. A cute, scowling child.
With the usual tired gaze, Mikoto's eyes followed Totsuka's back until it disappeared past the drapes to the kitchen. He wondered how his lunch will turn out like as he stood up and head for a smoke outside.
Meanwhile, there was a soft and tuneful humming that filled the usual silent kitchen. Totsuka took out the pots and pans, and readied himself for the cooking. Pulling the apron over his head, Totsuka reached behind his back and tied the loose strings together.
His eyes skimmed over the counter tops, making sure that all the required ingredients and equipment were out; Totsuka looked over the recipe on his phone before placing it back on the counter. With a clap, Totsuka grinned and began the task of cooking for his King.
Intrigued by the clattering and humming from the kitchen, Izumo pushed aside the drapes to the kitchen and unsurprisingly, he was greeted with the sight of Totsuka manoeuvring about the kitchen and the heavenly aroma from the pot.
"Ah, Kusanagi-san!"
Izumo greeted back as he put down the grocery bags on the empty spot of the table, noting the extremely cheery grin plastered into the kid's face, even he couldn't help but smile at the merry ambience that followed Totsuka wherever he goes.
"Lunch for Mikoto?"
"Mhm!"
Not seconds after his enthusiastic reply, Totsuka turned around and faced Izumo with a curious look, "How did you know?"
Even though his back was facing Totsuka, Izumo couldn't help but roll his eyes at the obvious. Shelving the groceries into the refrigerator and cabinets, Izumo replied with a laugh.
"You're grinning even more than a child with bundles of candy floss."
"Ehh, really?"
With yet another cheeky grin, Totsuka rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly and averted his attention back to stirring the contents in the pan.
Seated back again on the couch, Mikoto wondered about the taste of his lunch even though he could already tell that it will be amazing. The aromatic smell of food wafted to his nose and it was all he could do to not go to the kitchen after being chased out for a couple of times in the previous attempts.
"Tadah!"
What Totsuka placed on the table in front of Mikoto was a steaming hot bowl of ramen that his King had asked for. Taking off the kitchen mitts he used when carrying the bowl and setting it aside, Totsuka urged Mikoto to give the food a taste.
Sure, the food did attract him a lot with the glorious smell and tasty appearance, but what really caught his attention was that little piece of light brown plaster, wrapped around Totsuka's index finger. Mikoto snatched Totsuka's wrist over and his frown deepened.
"You cut yourself?"
Obviously Totsuka did and technically to everyone, it wasn't a big deal but to Mikoto, it was a big deal, a gigantic deal in fact.
"It's nothing much. Come on, eat, eat."
Still grinning like a kid, Totsuka assured Mikoto and urged him to try the food. Still frowning, Mikoto took the pair of chopsticks and took a bite of the food along with a sip of the soup. Yes, it tastes amazing.
"How is it?"
"Hm, it's good."
Flowers and sparkles and glitters erupted from Totsuka upon hearing Mikoto's monotonous yet positive opinion on his cooking.
"Ahh, then next time I'll cook your breakfast, your lunch, you din -"
"You're not allowed to cook anymore."
Mikoto intercepted Totsuka's sprightly ramblings with his own command. As expected from Totsuka, the first thing to come out from those lips was a really upset, "Why?"
"Because I said so."
"That's not an answer!"
Upon Totsuka's whine-like protest, Mikoto sat up straight on the couch and once again pulled on Totsuka's wrist. With Totsuka somewhat inches away from him, Mikoto smirked at the bewildered looking Totsuka.
"The King's wishes are your commands, isn't it?"
