Hello there, It's Ostap2424. I'll be short with my description:It's going to be story, pairing to be exact of Souma and *Dramatic pause for effect* Megumi! Yeah,I know everyone likes SomErina (Call it whatever you like), but I just don't believe that ship to be realistic (Even doe it's anime/manga). Anyways I'm gonna pair them both,btw it's M rated because of some smut coming soon (If I'll have more free time I'm gonna put it right into this chapter) Story takes place after Shokugeki of Soma with Nakiri Alice. See you at the end.

'Huh that was close. Even doe I try to look calm and cool all that time,still I was pretty scared.' He thought to himself. Sweat was all over his face, few drops were making their way down his nose, those drops tickled his nose a bit. Soma untied his bandage from his forhead so that he could wipe his face and neck from sweat a bit. He was tired,Really tired. Soma never liked to admit that he was scared,tired,nervous and etc. He thought it was a weakness,at least he thought so before he met Megumi. After Soma met Megumi he never thought again that showing that you're afraid,scared or nervous was a weakness,still he didn't liked to that. Soma liked to keep his 'cool' profile. 'Megumi is a great chief.' This is what he was thinking every time he looked at her. She never admited that doe. Soma always tried to assure her that she didn't needed his help to be a good chef, because she was one already. That thought always screwed her effort a bit but that day finaly became one when Megumi finally admited to herself that she could handle cooking on her own, but ofcourse his help was always appreciated.

Soma was walking down the coridore from the Moon Arena. While holding his bandage with both hands,which was bowed on his neck.

"Pheeew" Soma sighed

"Soma-Kun!" Familiar voice exclaimed his name with happy tone.

"Eeeh?" Soma asked the person.

It was Megumi. She was wearing her cooking uniform and looked like she was geting ready for something serious. Megumi chearfully stood up from bench, runned to Soma kun, clapped her hands together and gave him bright smile.

"I was watching you from the waiting room...Congratulations Soma-Kun!"

"Tadokoro,you're next huh?" Soma asked curiously.

"Yeah...I was really nervous,that they prepared a waiting room just for me. And I didn't know when I was going to be called until just before it actually happened " Tadokora finished her sentence with sigh.

"Ah,true that. That'd be nerve-wracking." Soma agreed.

"But...Somehow you look relaxed."

"Is that so?" Megumi asked happily.

"M...Maybe I am"

"You know..." Megumi started

"All over preliminaries,I was wondering if I am actually worthy of it."

"Tadokoro, don't sa-" He didn't managed to finish his sentence,she didn't let him to.

"Soma-kun,you helped me a lot,actually you safed me on that Shokugeki with Shinomiya-Senpai and I'm very thankfull for that,but I just don't know if-if I-" Megumi started to sob.

Soma came closer to her and place his hands on her shoulder. He tried to be as gentle as possible,Megumi was like a beautiful flower which was about to be broken by wind of pressure. Megumi looked straight at his yellow eyes, they were full with care and understanding. When Megumi realized that she actually cried that stupidly in front of him it took all of her power of will to stop this pathetic crying (At least she thought it was looking pathetic)

Megumi was rubbing her tears off her eyes. In that time gently squeezed her shoulders a bit so that he could get her's attention.

"Tadokoro. You remember training camp right?" Soma asked

"Y-yeah" Megumi answere while still sobing a bit.

"That day when you were about to be expeled I challenged Shinomiya-senpai for a Shokugeki. Later I explained it with the next words: "You weren't meant to be expelled". And it was true. I decided to risk it all because, you were more then worthy of Totsuki and lose of you would be bad for our dorm,academy,your friends and...

Me" Soma finished.

Megumi's heart skiped a beat,she could feel that. It didn't hurted,it was rather...strange but comfortable to feel.

She didn't knew what to say. His words were like punch out of nowhere,but feeling of knowing that Soma cared about her was very comfortable to stay with. A guy who was often pissing her off by his way too confident and cocky behavior, was actually behaving in very other way just like that time when he picked a fight with Shenomiya-senpai.

"I-I don't know what to say" Megumi said quietly hoping that Soma is not going to hear that, but ofcourse he did.

"You don't need to say anything." Soma answered kindly.

'Contestant Tadokoro Megumi get ready!' Member of staff exclaimed

"Last thing I'm going to say."

"Tadokoro...You are worthy of it.Now go show them what you got." Soma said it with his usual smirk.

"Will do" Megumi answered nicely.

A/N Well, that's going to be it for chapter one. Hope you enjoyed, 'til Sunday I'm gonna realese new one.

Few details about this story.

1. Megumi is going to look a bit more different, like on avatar of this story (I think she's more beautiful in that way. Same goes for Soma)

2. This story is going to follow manga in different way, by this I mean that story is not going to be copy of original manga story, I'll change it a bit

3. I do not own Shokugeki no Soma. Either manga or anime. It's owned by their respectful and great authors (Forgot their names)

BTW I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT SEASON 2 (Even doe I read manga every week)

See you in 3 days.
