My first time writing for a Week! Hopefully i can finish it without having to cut back on my sleep too much!

I won't bore you with much text this time so here's


Cooking

Levy never saw herself as a cooking person. Sure she had read her fair share of cooking books when nothing else was available and the girls at Fairy Hills often helped each other make dinner when the dorm manager was busy or incapable of making dinner for them. But she had never done anything beyond cooking rice while the more culinary experienced members did the side dishes.

So when Gajeel was coming over to her place for dinner the first time she had a minor breakdown.

The pasta turned into a pile of goo because she didn't wait for the water to boil properly, the 700 jewel steak she bought turned into a pile of coal and who knew it was so difficult to make tiramisu without getting it all over the kitchen walls.

The first "home-cooked" meal Levy presented to Gajeel was in fact take-out bought from a nearby resturant put on a platter so that it would look like home-made.

Luckily Gajeel was happy with the meal and never asked any questions about how she'd cooked it.

Levy however was ashamed of herself and wowed to change.

The following weeks she volunteered for making dinner, read more cooking books than ever and even took lessons from Mira and Kinana, widely considered to be the best chefs in Fairy Tail.

And so three weeks after her first attempt she was able to make a really nice chicken roast with a side of rice and greens for her and her boyfriend.


Gajeels first attempt for cooking for his girlfriend came a month or so after the chicken roast.

After a cat who for his own sake shall remain nameless lectured his stubborn partner about the importance of two people sharing responsibility in a relationship, Gajeel became determined to make Levy a nice meal.

Using his title of boyfriend of one of the girls he managed to get entrance to Fairy Hills despite the matron's initial refusal and with his dragon-slayer powers he managed to make a key which he used to enter his girlfriend's apartment while said girlfriend was out on a mission.

Once inside he grabbed one of her cooking books and found a recipe which sounded simple and easy to do. It wasn't like he was bad at cooking. He'd just never done anything above "random beaten and skinned animal cooked over an open fire".

Finally he found something that seemed easy enough Bo... Boeuf... B-Bourgiginoe? Sounded easy enough right? Gajeel thought and happily got to gathering the indrigients not knowing that Boeuf Bourguignon is one of the most complicated french dishes a newbie like him could have picked.

When Levy arrived home that evening it was to a cloud of smoke, a hastily set table with burning candles, a proud grinning Gajeel and a pot of something that looked like it'd been ripped from a horror story.

Before she could comment she was pushed into the chair and poured a bowl of the unknown substance.

Now normally Levy had enough self-preservation to say no when served something that was clearly not meant for human consumption.

However that proud childish grin on Gajeel's face convinced her that it was for the better to just gulp it all down at once. Hopefully it wouldn't kill her...

As she abandoned the spoon and simply drank it all directly from the bowl (much to Gajeel's suprise) she realized just what a bad idea this had been.

The carrots had completely dissolved into chunks.

The onions had most likely been inserted without any form of preparation, parts of the outer layer sticking to the back of her throat.

The absolute worst part of ever had to be the meat which was cold and raw in one spot and burnt to a crisp at another, all accompanied by what tasted like a gallon of red wine.

In short just a few seconds after swallowing this epitome of bad cooking, Levy felt her insides churn and acid fill her mouth. Before Gajeel could ask how it was Levy had made a beeline for the bathroom before filling the entire house with sounds of vomit hitting the toilet bowl.

And so ends the story of Gajeel's first (and almost last) attempt at cooking for his girlfriend.

The End
