Disclaimer: Not me.

Summary: Culinary School!AU. Kuwahara had a crush on Marui, the bright redhead girl from his class. So when they get paired together for a meal project, he tried his luck.

Notes: It was a video we were given in class to edit with a plot similar to this. I altered in it slightly.

Came up with this on a whim, and just wanted to write one of the pairs cooking, and RikkaiD2 were the most suitable ones.

Please, leave a review.

Warnings: AU. Fem!Marui.

"So," Kuwahara started slowly, looking at his classmate from the corner of his eyes then back at the chopping board and his bell peppers, "Where did you learn to cut like that?"

Marui's hands were fast and efficient in their moves as they chopped the carrots to small delicate bits for the dish they were practicing making together.

She pooped a bubble with her gum, "Learned from mom; watched her then copied, and voila! I know how to chop!"

Kuwahara huffed a laugh at that. Marui then looked back over her shoulder then back at him, "Come on, we only have an additional 30-minutes period."

The Brazilian teen sneaked a look at her before stuttering slightly, "What I mean to say is, uh, you know-.. you have nice hands.."

"Nice hands?" Marui repeated with an amused smile and an arch of her eyebrows. A couple of moments passed between them in silence, with only the sound of their knives falling on the boards to fill. Marui peeked glances at Kuwahara beside him, watching his hands once then his face and back to her board. Eventually, she turned halfway towards him and asked hurriedly, "Are you trying to ask me out?"

Kuwhara's hand froze in its place in the air as he processed the question before he blushed faintly and answered, "Wha-.. N-no! No, I wasn't!.." but he then added in a whisper "Maybe..?" with an incredulous face.

"Cuuuuz.." Marui drawled out and blew another bubble, "If you did, I might say 'yes'."

"Argh!"

"Careful!" the redhead rushed with a towel on the side to press on Kuwahara's hand. The unfortunate boy was so shocked he forgot to move his hand away, and the knife ended up falling on the side of his finger. Thankfully, no serious damage was done.

Kuwahara looked up and found himself looking directly into pools of lively purple, "So.. would you like to go for dinner some time?" he asked hopefully.

Marui chuckled, "Okay, but not food. How about a movie or something?"

Kuwahara rolled his eyes, "Yeah, no blood, please." He said sarcastically and ended up smiling widely when he heard his date's tinkling laugh.

A/N: Yeah. That's it. Surprised? I'm surprised myself! But it's not all about full fics. *wink*

Hope you enjoyed. Please leave a review.

Thanks.
