"What are you making?" I asked as I walked through the kitchen, grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge and turning to face Teruteru Hanamura.
"Hors d'oeuvres." Hanamura said, confusing me.
"What's a Hors d'oeuvre?" I asked as I took a sip from the water, raising an eyebrow at him, with him turning to me with a shocked look.
"Where did you grow up without knowing of the delicious taste of Hors d'oeuvres!?" He nearly yelled, with me leaning against the fridge.
"I grew up with bread and crackers, not knowing when my next meal was going to be." I said, where everything went silent. 'Now that I think about it, The most work I've put into cooking was cooking chopped onions and then tossing it on bread with cheese and mayo, doesn't sound good, but it sure was.' I thought, thinking back to when I cooked for Mukuro's birthday.
"Well, I must currently change that!" He said, walking over to me and grabbing my arm, pulling me back to where he was. "And you're going to help me!" He said, with me shrugging as I took the apron and chefs hat he handed me, putting them on. "First, we're going to make the Bacon Hors d'oeuvres." He said, with me nodding. "I'll give you the easy parts, so leave the cutting stuff and seasoning to me!" He said, giving me a thumbs up with a grin, and me giving him a plain thumbs up in return. "First, you cut a pack of bacon in half, making each slice about five inches long." He said, with me placing my hands behind my back as I watched him cut the bacon. "Once you have that taken care of, you want to take half of the bacon, not all of it, but be sure to seal it tightly and store it for later use!" He said as he handed me the bacon he wasn't using, with me taking a zip lock bag and putting it in there, making sure that there wasn't any air in it. Putting it to the side, I watched him take a smaller knife. "Next, you want to cut the dates, not all the way through, because you want to put some goat cheese in it." He said, where I watched him cut each of the dates before using a butter knife to evenly place the goat cheese between them. "Now, I want you to wrap each of them with the bacon!" He said, smiling at me.
"Sure thing." I said, walking into his spot while he stepped back. Picking up the bacon, it was cold and uncooked, where I then wrapped them around the hard surface of the dates. "Ok, what now, do we put them in or something?" I asked, looking at the oven, seeing that it was pre-heated to 350.
"Not yet." He said, handing me a container filled with toothpicks. "First, I need you to put a toothpick through each one." He said, with me opening it and stabbing each one. "Ok, this is where I take over again!" He said, with me stepping back. "I would let you do this one, but you have to get the perfect amount on it if you want to blow away someone's taste buds!" He said, sliding a bowl in front of him.
"What the brown stuff?" I asked, not sure what it was.
"This my friend, is maple syrup." He said as he took each of the Hors d'oeuvres and dipped them in the maple syrup before placing them on the tray. "See, if you completely cover it, the syrup over powers the taste, you want to dip it to the point that it almost touches the top." He informed, with me nodding, still wondering what maple syrup was but let it slide. "Now we're done, would you mind putting them in?" He asked, with me putting on the oven met and placing the tray into the oven. "We'll wait fifteen minutes before moving them onto their sides, that way the bottom can get cooked as well." He said, with me nodding.
"What do we do till them?" I asked, with him smiling.
"We can talk about the other classmates while were at it!" He suggested, where he pulled out a comb and started brushing his hair while I put the bacon in the fridge. "What do you think of everyone so far?" He asked, with me thinking about it.
"Ibuki is fun to hang out with, Tanaka is that wired but cool guy once you get to know him, Sonia is alright, Mikan is a clutz with a good heart, Saionji is a little demon but ok, Kuzuryu isn't as scary as people make him out to be as he's an ok kind of guy in my book, Peko is incredible with a sword and will do anything to protect the ones she cares about, Nidai is a mystery to me as I cant figure out how he causes an explosion when he shits or how he can generate electricity, Mahiru is a good person who I would say would brighten up anyone's day, Mitarai is a disappointment, Akane loves parkour, Nagito is wired but ok, Kazuichi is a fifty/fifty in my book, and I have yet to hang out with Chiaki." I said, shrugging.
"Well, what about me?" He asked, with me thinking about it.
"You're alright for now, the days not over yet." I said, shrugging.
"Alright, I just know that my cooking skills will get you hard!" He yelled, pumping his fist up.
"You just went down." I said, staring him down with a glair, making him flinch. "People find that disgusting and unprofessional, but you do you, I cant stop that." I said as I leaned against the fridge. "What about you, what do you think about our classmates?" I asked, looking at him.
"Tanaka is cool, Sonia is hot, Mikan is sexy, Saionji is currently a loli but I just know shell grow up to be as sexy as Mikan, Kuzuryu's ok, Nidai is a hunk, Peko is smoking hot, Chiaki is crazy hot, Mahiru is adorable sexy, Akane is super sexy when she's eating my meat, Nagito is strange, Kazuichi is ok I guess, and Mitarai is awesome!" He said, with me glaring at him. "And you're...Just out there." He said, with my eye twitching at that.
"You're a pervert who has no shame." I said, with him smiling.
We stood there in an awkward silence for the remaining time, until the timer went off. "Ill...Finish up here." He said, with me taking off the hat and apron.
"I'm done, its all yours." I said, walking away to find something else to do, Hanamura losing all respect I had.
