Author's note: Fun little drabble I got, please forgive any mistakes I made!

Today was the day that Aidou would once more try to please the great Kaname-sama by trying to make soup. You see, earlier this morning/afternoon Aidou had overheard Kaname-sama talking to that pest of a perfect, Yuki, about her first try at making soup.
Of course it turned out horrible, but Kaname-sama probably complimented it and said it was good to make her feel better. I, the boy genius, noticed this and pitied our brave dorm leader. Which lead to me deciding to make an even better soup, which wouldn't be hard because whatever I made would certainly not taste like fermented horse manure.
The only problem was I had never attempted to cook soup, or anything, ever. I have over 45 degrees that have to do with science and technology. These two subjects were practically the same they had measuring, mixing, and all that kind stuff.
I had laid out the ingredients I was going to use: everything in the refrigerator plus a big pot. Now all I needed was a cook book to give me the right measurements, and I was off.
I searched the kitchen for the cook book, but all I could find was a How-to-use a- lava-lamp manual. Which was strange considered that this was a kitchen and there were no lava lamps in it. I would have to talk to Kaname-sama about this soon, because I now had an urge to buy a lava lamp.
As I was admiring the glossy picture on the cover of the manual, my not- as- hot- as- I- but-close-cousin, Akatsuki came in.
"Hey, Hanasuba class is starting, why are you still in the moon dorm?"
"I'm researching a very important matter and can not attend class."
I couldn't risk Akatsuki stealing my idea and earning points with my Kaname-sama. Although I knew Akatsuki would never do that, I needed to be careful.
"Hana, what are you hiding from me?"
'I don't know what you're talking about"
Crap, I forgot that Akatsuki could always see through me, and if I was really secretive and he couldn't tell he would make me give in to him. I always love to tell him things especially when he uses my nick name from when we were children. Curse my childhood habit of telling Akatsuki everything! But I knew Akatsuki would never betray me, so why not just tell him and go him to help me?
"Ok, fine I'm making soup for Kaname-sama, would you help me?"
He stared at me for a couple of minutes, and I stared at him a couple of minutes. We finally came to the conclusion that none of us knew how to cook anything, neither the less, soup.
But I would not let that discourage me, I was going to make my wonderful soup for my wonderful kaname-sama and nothing will stop me! All I needed to do was believe that I was a chef and then I'd be the chef. I am a chef, I am a chef, I am a chef, I am a chef, and I AM A C-H-E-F!
"Hanasuba, you know that chanting what you want to be in your head a lot will not make you a chef, right?"
"Shut up Akatsuki, stop trying to ruin my dreams."
Despite what I said, I knew that Skatsuki was right, but I was going to pretend he was wrong and that I did know how to cook. I added some potatoes, corn, noodles, blue berries, celery, lemons, maple syrup, raspberries, eggs, Nyquil, rabbit legs, cheese, everything nice and olive oil.
These items seemed like some basic things you might taste in soup. Then I added some water, about 4 cups to be exact, and boiled it.
"Hana, I think you forgot the spices to add some flavor."
"Oh yeah, what should I put?"
"Hmm...Maybe some ginger?"
"Kay, what about salt? Every dish needs salt, right?"
"Definitely add a lot of salt, maybe a hint of garlic and vinegar."
"What about sugar, does soup have sugar?"
"Some of them do, add it just in case, and don't forget the soy sauce."
"Yes, and let's add some beer, for an extra kick."
"Well, if you're going add some liquor, do not forget the rum, wine, ale, and vodka."
"Of course Akatsuki, you think I'd forget?"
"Just making sure, and doesn't soup need a kind of main dish?"
"You're right, it does, and maybe it should be beans?"
"Well beans are a good source of protein."
So I opened up a can of what I assumed was beans, because of the picture on it, and added it in the steaming pot. I took out a comically large spoon and started mixing. This cooking thing wasn't so hard after all, and Akatsuki proved himself as a loyal and worthy assistant.
Satisfied with my work, I decided to go outside for a refreshing breath of air with akatsuki close by. After what seemed like an hour, but was actually 3 seconds of screaming because I realized that I hate the sun and it burns!
I went inside and sat on the couch while Akatsuki slowly patted my head, trying to help me get through that traumatizing event.
There was a loud bubbling, some obnoxious fumes, and a very loud beeper. The soup must be ready, I went to check on it but found that it didn't turn out how I pictured. It looked…..dull, like when you're painting and mix all of the colors together and find out it doesn't make a rainbow.
It just made a disgusting blob of who knows what color, which leaves you really disappointed. What was I going to do, I couldn't present this to Kaname-sama, and he'd be so disgusted. This was almost as bad as Yuki's with the exception that mine is still in liquid form.
"What should I do Akatsuki, it looks horrible!"
Akatsuki only nodded in agreement and stared at the pot as in deep thought. Then his eyes suddenly lit up,
"I've got it, how about we just change the color so it can look good."
"Ah! That's brilliant, you know what they say: seeing is believing."
I had to admit his idea was pretty good, of course I could've thought that up, if it wasn't for my worrying about that Cross girl.
She always makes my brain hurt, just thinking about her looking at my Kaname-sama makes my blood boil. As Akatsuki and I searched the kitchen for food dye we stumbled upon a…..
CLIFF HANGER~~ okay, not really. I was planning on making this a long one-shot but I couldn't think of the right way to end it, please ANYONE give me an idea! Even if you don't leave an idea thank you for reading this lame thing anyways, desu~
