The sun shined brightly on the Rose household, and like always, Garnet was the first to wake up and get out of bed before his moms. He made his way to the bathroom to wash up, but not before stopping dead in his tracks as something from last night came back to him.
Flashback
"Hey, Mom. What are you up to?" he asked Ruby as she was looking at restaurants online.
"Ohhh, nothing much, Garnet. Just checking out some places for your mother and I to eat. Lots of choices here in Atlas."
"Restaurants? What's the big occasion, then?"
"Well, our wedding anniversary is coming soon, so I figured your mother and I would go out and eat somewhere fancy."
"Oh, you two don't need to go get some fancy food, why not just cook something here? I'm sure you can make something great for Mother."
"Me, cook? Sweetie, while I may be great at making cookies and pancakes, I could never cook something as extravagant as any of the restaurants in Atlas. I'm not that good of a chef."
"Hmm, well if you can't cook an overly fancy dinner for Mother, how about a little fancier of a breakfast? You always make some good food in the morning."
"Well, breakfast, I can do. Buuuut, I don't know, this time I feel like I want it cooked for me and Weiss, not just me making everything."
Garnet looked around the kitchen, thinking about this problem, when an answer came to him.
He could just cook breakfast for Ruby and Weiss. Ruby doesn't have to do anything, and it could provide him a chance to make some food by himself! Fantastic!
"Hey, what if I cook for you and Mother tomorrow morning? I'll make pancakes with strawberries, coffee and biscuits, and that? You don't have to do anything but just come down when it's ready, okay?"
"...Baby, you'd really do that for us? You haven't cooked before, are you sure you can do this?"
"Of course! Shouldn't be too hard to make pancakes and coffee, right? Just wait until you smell the scent of a freshly made breakfast, and come down to the kitchen table. Trust me."
"Well, if you say so. I'm going to hold you to that, and I'm gonna tell Weiss about it, also. We expect a full breakfast table tomorrow morning, okay?"
"You got it, now don't worry, I'll have everything ready by the time you guys wake up tomorrow."
"Wonderful. It's time we get to bed now, sweetie."
"Alright, then."
Flashback end
"...Crap." Garnet ran out of the bathroom, and straight to the kitchen, forgetting about his t-shirt on the floor. First, however, he stopped by his moms room to see if they were still sleeping. Good news, they still were, so he resumed his run to make them a good breakfast.
"Okay, okay. Just make some pancakes and coffee, the biscuits and strawberries are in the fridge and cabinet. For now, just make those two."
He went into the pantry to get the coffee grounds and pancake mix. Then, he got the coffee machine and bowl needed and got to work. For the following 5 minutes, he attempted to make breakfast. Keyword, ATTEMPTED. Really, he just made a mess and burnt a lot of food and spilled a lot of coffee.
"Great, burnt another one," he mumbled as he dumped another pancake in the garbage. He checked on the coffee, and it was spilling over on the countertop. "This too." He sighed and cleaned up the spill. "This. Is. Impossible. I mean, seriously! It's just some simple recipes! Mom made it look so easy whenever she did it. Meanwhile, I went through like 3 of them, and they're all burnt to a crisp. What am I going to do?" He opened a pantry to see what looked to be a cookbook. "Hmm. 'Suppose I could use this. Hopefully, I can make something good." He skimmed the pages of the book, when he came upon a recipe that caught his eye.
Timeskip
Ruby and Weiss woke up to the smell of something good downstairs. Must be Garnet cooking breakfast.
"Ooohhh, that smells really good," Ruby said.
"I wonder what he's making down there," Weiss added as she put on her robe. The two made there way down to see the meal that their son was baking for them.
"Oh, my goodness!" Ruby said surprised.
On the table lay a stack of pancakes, eggs, a fresh pot of coffee, a bowl of fruit, and a plate of scones.
"Hey," Garnet said as he was cleaning up his hands.
"Garnet, did you make this?" Weiss asked him.
"Yeah, I did. Totally easytown, with a little help from the cookbook in the pantry."
The white haired woman stopped for a moment at that answer. "Ummm, what cookbook, exactly-"
"Come on, Weiss," Ruby cut in. "All this food's gonna get cold if we don't eat!"
"Huh? Oh, yeah, the food. Coming, dear."
"You coming, too, sweetie?" Ruby asked her son.
"Yeah, I'm hungry too. Plus I did cook it myself, so I deserve some of the cut."
"You most certainly do. Thank you for making this for us, sweetie, I'm so proud of you." She rubbed his hair and kissed his cheek. "Also, could you please put on a shirt when we're finished?" she whispered in his ear.
Blushing, he realized he left it in the bathroom. "You're right," he mumbled. He went to the bathroom to get his clothing and came back to eat a good breakfast with his moms.
