Hi guys. Before you throw rocks at me about the fact that I'm writing a new story before finishing WTBS, I'll give you an explanation.
Recently, I've been made part of the staff of a community which ships Yui and Ayato so I decided to do a short story for that. I will still be going along with my original plans just doing this along as well.
With that being said, I hope all of you enjoy!
For The Love Of Takoyaki
Yui, The Takoyaki Master
"Oi, Yui, make me some takoyaki." A certain red-headed vampire demands as he barges into the room of the person in questioning…or in this case, ordering.
"Good God, Ayato, don't barge in here like that! What if I was indecent?" Yui asks as she places down the book she was reading.
"That would've been great timing." Ayato answers honestly; although honesty could be mistaken for being terribly shameless.
Yui almost deadpanned at his answer. Almost. After spending quite some time with the proud vampire she became used to his way of thinking; eventually. Yet she wouldn't change it, or him, for the world. She loves Ayato, and Ayato loves her, even if he has a…unorthodox way of showing it.
"You know Ayato, I reckon you could learn how to cook Takoyaki yourself one day. What if I'm away and you suddenly have one of your cravings?" Yui asks as she takes Ayato by the arm and starts walking down the well–memorised route to the kitchen.
"Yui, you're talking to the future king of vampires. I don't need to learn how to cook. I have tons of people to do that for me." He says proudly.
"Then why don't you get one of those tons of people to make takoyaki for you?" Yui questions with a slight teasing smile on her face.
Ayato shows a slightly taken aback face before regaining composure. "I don't need to answer that."
"I think you do." Yui pushes with a sing-song tone in her already melodic voice.
A slight, yet visible colouring suddenly appears on Ayato's cheeks. "The servants can't make them like you do." He mumbles under his breath.
"I'm sorry, what was that?" Yui inquires with an air of innocence even though she heard what he had said.
"You know damn well what I said, woman!" He snaps, with mock intimidation.
The small girl laughs with such happiness that the young vampire is almost glad that he relinquished some of his pride. To hear her laugh with freedom like that, he would do anything.
.o0o.
After taking out all of the well-stocked ingredients from various parts of the kitchen, Yui finally dons her apron before tossing one into Ayato's unsuspecting face.
"Oi! What was that for?" He asks with an irritated expression.
"That's so you don't mess up your clothes too much when we're cooking." Yui answers as she washes her hands.
The fact that she said the words 'Too much' didn't go unnoticed by Ayato.
"What do you mean, 'too much'?" He asks as he eyes the apron suspiciously.
"Making takoyaki can be a messy job when you're new to the talent."
"How many times do I have to tell you that I'm not making takoyaki?" Ayato grumbles.
"Ayato." Yui's voice suddenly takes a very cold and harsh tone. "I'm going to teach you how to make takoyaki every time you ask. Just because you plan on being king when you're older doesn't mean that you rely on other people to do everything for you. You can't ask someone to kill your father for you otherwise they end up king, don't they?"
Ayato's jaw lowers at the very detailed (and correct) argument.
Yui was right. He had to start pulling his own weight otherwise where is his crown going to end up?
It's only making some takoyaki. How hard can it be? He thinks to himself.
If only he knew…
So what did you guys think? Good? Bad? Worthy of an award?
I'll be continuing this soon. If I get WTBS finished before this, I'll focus on this for a while before I go back to shipping Eliza with the various brothers.
See you soon!
