Temptation

Yori was over for lunch again, on the very night Aya had volunteered to be their chef.
This was something she'd been deliberating for days now. She wanted to cook for the trio she'd become close to as a small token of her appreciation for their generosity.
The only problem was that she didn't know how to cook. So she'd stole away the only person she wasn't completely ashamed to tell about it.
He'd been standing awkwardly, hesitating for a moment before taking a step towards the tiny table by the window.
"Zero!" Aya whispered, gesturing frantically.
Sayori and Yuuki glanced at them, before shrugging simultaneously and returning to their conversation.
Her vampire friend sauntered casually up to her, before being jerked into the kitchen.
"You've gotta help me!" Aya pleaded, blinking doe eyes up at the tall prefect.
Zero was unimpressed.
"Don't look at me like that."
Immediately, the girl before him straightened and peered at him imploringly.
"I can't cook…" She whimpered.
He raised one delicate eyebrow. "Then how are you going to…" He trailed off, his mouth curving into a lopsided frown.
Aya buried her face in her hands. "Just, where is a recipe book or something…?"
Zero gestured vaguely toward a cabinet above the countertops, the third one down.
"Thanks!"
Zero shrugged, turning on his heel to leave.
x…X…x
Approximately one hour later, Aya poked her head out of the kitchen door, smiling awkwardly at them all.
Zero rose unprompted, sweeping by her to inspect the meal she'd labored over.
Aya trailed behind him uncertainly, looking very much like a lost puppy.
"Did I do okay?" She asked, wringing her hands.
His prolonged silence bothered her, and she was just beginning to bounce on her toes when he stopped his inspection.
"Hn." Aya's breath left her in a relieved sigh, and she slumped slightly. "Oh good…"
Zero picked up her chicken lasagna and vanished out the door.
