Shinobu opened the fridge and rummaged through the contents, looking for something he can actually cook. He did not have (any) much experience in cooking since there had been no need to do so in the past. But his words got ahead of him and before he knew it, he was offering to cook dinner for Miyagi.

He pulled out a cabbage head and looked at it with disdain.

Simply put, he hated cabbages. They were ugly green things, looking all winkled up as they are. But he had a vague idea on how to cook stir fry as he had watched a maid cook it before.

Miyagi had already turned on the rice cooker so all that was left for him to do was to cook the damn vegetable. He pulled out a knife and smiled ominously. At least he had a chance to butcher up the thing in the process. He heard Miyagi give a yelp of surprise when he started to chop through the cabbage's ugly head, decimating it into tiny strips. He tossed the slaughtered vegetable into a pan and tossed the disgusting bits around. He reached out for the nearest condiment his hand could reach and poured half the bottle without much grace. It must have been wine or something alcoholic since the concoction in the pan flared up. Hehhh. At least that was done and over with.

"Oi." Miyagi commented. "For such a pretty face like yours, you sure make a manly meal."

And for the next days after that, Shinobu found himself practicing how to perfectly cook cabbage stir fry since overhearing Miyagi's comment that the professor was jealous of the bento boxes Kamijou's boyfriend prepared.

Ugh. And he thought he was done dealing with cabbages. But there was nothing else he could cook so for now, he was stuck cooking yasai itame for Miyagi.

"You're making too much of these things." Miyagi deadpanned as they both stared at the table filled with plate after plate of Shinobu's cooking. Even the fridge was overflowing with the stuff.

"Bring some of it to school with you." The older man sighed. He'll probably do the same himself.

Shinobu turned his back to walk away. "Like hell I will. I hate cabbages."He briefly considered making a run for it but he found himself pulled back against Miyagi and the latter was shouting in his ear. "Then why do you always cook them for me?!"

A chopstick holding the despicable vegetable strips was thrust into Shinobu's mouth and he dodged it, trying to hold off Miyagi's arm. "I'd rather eat stapler wire than that!"

"Then stop making them already!" Miyagi growled. He stood up, filled a bento with the stir fry and rice and put a spork on top before wrapping it up. He pushed it into Shinobu's hand.

"Just be a good boy and bring this with you. Please?"

When his lover says please like that, how can he possibly refuse? Begrudgingly, Shinobu took the package and stomped out of the room. His encounters with cabbages have yet to come to an end. He really should start considering another vegetable.

And that's it. I wasn't able to follow through the entire contest because of a convention I had to go to a convention. D8
