Sorry for the long wait. School will be over in less than 3 weeks maybe so updates will start be quicker.


-Day 5: Misaki cooks-


They didn't know how it got to this point, but here stood Misaki in the kitchen trying to attempt cooking. It mostly started because Takumi said he was hungry and he would prepare food for the both of them. Misaki however, thought she should be the one to prepare the food. She had been learning how to prepare dishes by watching videos and looking at recipes. This would be her actual first time making food, but she was determined to make it taste good. She was at least confident in herself.

Takumi sat in a chair watching Misaki. If anything was to go wrong, he would charge in to help Misaki right away. He would eat all of her food, no matter how bad it was. Just seeing her being excited to cook for him made him smile. It really felt like they were a married couple. Waking up and seeing each other first thing in the morning and now here Misaki was cooking for him. All his dreams were coming through. Next on his list was a little Misaki running around. There was a huge smile on his face just thinking about a little Misaki running around.

"First we need to boil water," Misaki said reading the recipe from her phone. "Add salt…..where is the salt?" She mumbled looking around the kitchen. Takumi was going to get up and help her find it but she stopped him. "No! I can do it myself. In fact, get out until I'm done. Go!"

Takumi smiled feeling his wife pushing him out of the kitchen.

"Ok but if you need he-"

"Yes, I'll call you so move," She said continuing to push him out. Misaki made him sit down in a chair, handing him a magazine to read. "I'll be back soon."

She turned on her heel going back into the kitchen to finish her task.

The smile on Takumi's face never left. Enjoying moments like this everyday was great. He hoped it would never end. He didn't read the magazine she gave him but instead listened closely to what was happening in the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Misaki was trying her best to cook the pasta. The water was already boiling and the salt had been added. She opened the pasta package and poured them into the water while stirring.

"Ok. So good so far. Nothing burning yet," She looked around the kitchen to really make sure nothing had caught on fire. "Am I supposed to reduce the heat now? Hmm...maybe I should ask Takumi-no! As a wife you should know how to cook."

"It looks done so maybe I can turn it off now. Yup."

She turned off the stove.

"I need to strain it."

She drained all the water from the pot and now only the pasta remained.

"Next is sauce. Sauce? What kind of sauce? Why is there no canned sauce in this house? Who stacks pasta and no sauce in a cabinet? Probably didn't want me cooking," She muttered looking into the fridge for ingredients to make a sauce.

She took a few items out the fridge.

"How bad can this be? They look like they go together."

….

Takumi got bored waiting for Misaki to come out so he decided to go see what she was up to even though she told him to stay out of the kitchen. What he didn't expect upon entering the kitchen was to see his wife with a sad expression on her face looking at what she created.

"It doesn't taste good. I failed," She told him moving the plate away from her.

Takumi felt bad seeing her like this and wanted her to cheer up. "It's okay you can keep lear-"

"I'm your wife. I should at least be able to to cook for you and I can't," Misaki said sadly. "I can't even cook pasta right."

Takumi never liked seeing Misaki sad. It pained his heart. He walked over to her and embraced her in a big hug.

"You didn't fail. You are still learning and just seeing you doing things like this for me makes me happy. You'll get better over time," He assured her kissing her forehead in the process.

Misaki nodded as she rest her head against his chest. "Ok and I guess you should be the one to cook right now."

He let go of Misaki grinning. "Sure thing Milady."

Misaki stood back and watched Takumi prepare a decent meal for them. She had a long way to go before she even considered herself a perfect wife for Takumi.


As the story goes on it will show Misaki's character grow and her becoming the "Perfect wife". Takumi will be the same. More updated coming soon. How was it? Fav, follow and review your thoughts.

Until next time ~ Violet.
