The Joys of Cooking
"What are you doing?"
Saix turned his head to the side just a fraction, staring indifferently at the Organization's Number I. He regarded the older Nobody quietly, quirking his brow as if asking, "What does it look like I'm doing?" When his brow quirking was met with silence, Saix turned his head back forward, continuing what he was doing before being interrupted.
chop, chop, chop
The Lunar Nobody continued chopping away at the unsuspecting carrots on the kitchen counter, choosing to ignore the fact that Xemnas had decided to take up a seat at the kitchen table. He also tried to ignore the fact that Xemnas seemed to be burning holes into his back as he chopped away at the carrots.
A brief moment of silence passed by.
"I didn't know you could cook."
Saix continued chopping his carrots.
"…You can cook?"
He moved onto the mushrooms.
"…You can cook?"
Saix sighed in slight annoyance. "Who did you think usually made dinner for the Organization?"
Pause.
"…Lexaeus."
He, too, paused for a second before reaching for a potato and slicing it into small pieces, resisting the urge to snort at Xemnas' answer to his rhetorical question.
"What are you making?"
He considered ignoring the Superior completely before pushing the thought out of his head, instead choosing to mutter out, "…Oden" quietly in slight hesitation.
"Oden," he heard the Superior hum thoughtfully. "That's my favourite."
Saix smiled softly, allowing his shoulders to relax. "I know."
The kitchen was filled with silence once again, the only sound heard being the chopping of Saix's knife. Said Nobody tensed when he felt a pair of strong arms wrap around his upper waist securely. Hot breath puffed against his elf-like ear, and Saix almost dropped his knife.
"I didn't know you could cook…"
Saix swallowed hard with much difficulty.
"I bet you make a great dessert, too…"
Saix blinked, opening his mouth to respond when he felt something hot and wet slide across the length of his pointed ear, stopping right at the point itself. He almost choked in surprise.
"Hmm…I was right."
This time, Saix did drop his knife.
Ah, the joys of cooking…
