AN: I mean I've honestly probably lost control of my life at this point in time.
Also, I'm not quite sure about the characterization of Lucie, Gao, and Abel so they may be perceived as being ooc. Apologies in advance!

Shinomiya looked up at the board and pursed his lips as his arms crossed over his chest. Humming in thought, the pink haired male reached over to the small table in front of the board and grabbed one of two pieces of paper resting there. Looking down and then up, the cycle went on for a few minutes before a decision was made.

"Oho~? Putting Yukihira's dish on the menu again?"

A tic formed on the side of his left eye.

"You got a problem with that?"

Lucie and Gao looked at each other before the taller woman smiled sweetly, arms positioned behind her back.

"No, no. No problem at all, Chef!"

The tic became more prominent as Shinomiya slowly turned to fully face his subordinates.

"What's with the smirk?"

The two women shared another look before giggling behind their hands. Shinomiya glowered at them before reaching out in order to grab both of them by their heads.

"Say what you want to say or get back in the kitchen."

"Ow, ow, ow! We just think it's interesting that you chose to use Yukihira-kun's dish again!" Exclaimed Lucie while squirming in the chef's grip. Tears formed in the corners of her eyes while Gao tried to get away.

"Yukihira-kun called and said he was going to stop by for a lesson after class," Abel said while walking into the restaurant. The older man took his hat off and raised a brow at the sight that greeted him, "ah, are you using Yukihira's dish on the menu again?"

The two women laughed loudly once more before the blue haired boucher screamed as Shinomiya tightened his left hand which was, unfortunately, situated on the petite woman's head. The service manager had wriggled her way out of her boss' clutches and quickly went to the kitchen in order to prepare for the day and to escape another head grab.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'll stop! Mercy, mercy!"

Abel shook his head and continued towards the kitchen; though, he did smirk as Lucie continued to screech. The blonde was vaguely reminded of one Inui Hinako as he began to prepare for the day. He was sure that Shinomiya would get over his anger in a few minutes and then have it brought back full force as soon as Yukihira set foot in the kitchen. That is, if the past three visits were anything to go by.


AN: Short and sweet. Just how I like it tbch. I HONESTLY HAVE NO IDEA WHY I'M SO OBSESSED WITH THIS PAIRING RECENTLY?
