Good morning. I worked so hard on the previous chapter, but it doesn't seem like it was a success...

Pairing: RenxAsaka (Haven't done this pairing yet.)

Time: During Link Joker

"Asaka, why are you so early up in the morning?" asked Tetsu Shinjo, his blue haired comrade. Asaka was in the kitchen, chopping some onions into the meal she was preparing for Ren Suzugamori, the man, which changed her life. She never expected something in exchange, so she didn't really mind, that he didn't appreciated her much.

"I just thought to cook something good for breakfast, that's all," said Asaka, as she walked over to do the fridge to get out some more ingredients needed in order to finish it. Tetsu looked around and noticed broken plates and spilled sauce. What in the world was Asaka cooking?

"How long have you been down here? Have you even slept today?" asked Tetsu, totally concerned. He knew too well about her little crush on Ren, but that it would be so serious, he didn't know. Asaka just remained silent, since she did sleep, but not for very long.

"Well, I'll go wake Ren up. Call us when it's ready and don't overdo it, Asaka."

Asaka was left alone to finish the dish. While doing so, she kept smiling and reminding herself that this is for her Ren. She was so glad Suiko, wasn't in the Foo Fighters building, she would just interfere with her. Asaka never understood as why Ren was so fond of Suiko. That goes all back to the day, where they met them at the nationals. But she decided not to waste her time, by thinking about her. She finished the food and put three portions on three plates.

"Tetsu! Ren! Breakfast is ready!" yelled Asaka, while throwing the dirty dishes in the sink and putting away her green apron. She was excited as what Ren will say about her food. She never put so much effort into making one simple meal. Tetsu and Ren arrived a few minutes later. Ren looked so sleepy, that it was almost adorable, at least to Asaka.

"Well, I hope you two will like it," said Asaka, sitting down and tasting her creation. She liked it very much, the sauce did very well with the mushrooms and all in all it was the best thing she ever managed to do. She glanced over at Tetsu, who nodded approvingly and continued to eat, Ren however had a different opinion.

"Asaka, why did you do mushrooms? You know, I don't eat mushrooms!" whined Ren, while examining the plate with the rice and mushrooms. Asaka had no idea, that Ren didn't eat something. Ren never told her anything about his food habits.

"Ren, stop complaining and eat. You always finished your dishes with mushrooms when Kai did them," said Tetsu, looking up from his plate. So when Toshiki Kai did the cooking, he always finished it, but when Asaka cooked he always just ate half of it? Asaka was glad she got to spend time with Ren, but this still hurt. First Suiko and now Kai. Why?

"I'm sorry, Ren. I'll do another one, right away," said Asaka, standing up and walking in the kitchen. She was sad, that Ren didn't praise her for her work. She was so devastated that she had to prepare something trivial in order for Ren to eat. Tears flew down her cheeks as she prepared a plate of rice and leftovers from the previous night.

However, when she returned she was met with those ruby eyes, filled with so much happiness like never before. She looked confused at Tetsu, who just pointed at the empty plate on the table. Ren finished the plate and all by himself.

"Wha-"

"Asaka, I want more! This is delicious! You have to do this more often!"

"I thought you didn't like mushrooms?"

"Well, I suppose you changed my mind."
