A week has passed since the Avon incident. After informing the Melodia kingdom that [y/n] has been saved, [y/n] and Katakuri returned to Wheat Island.
[y/n] has finally recovered thanks to Katakuri who keeps a watchful eyes on her, making sure she won't stress herself out. The whole island had recovered too. A bountiful harvest awaits the lands and more sweet flour buds sprouted.
Big Mom was in a really good mood because of that. She even invited [y/n] for a tea with just the two of them.
If she we're to be honest, the woman wasn't that bad when in a good mood. Also, despite of her terrible personality, there was something noble about her goal.
She told [y/n] she wanted to create the land where all the races and species could live in peace and harmony.
[y/n] heard about the fishmens predicament and the terrible treatment they receive from humans.
She feel bad for them and if what Big Mom's dream happened, then humans, fishmen and other species could coexist without a bad blood between them.
[y/n] has always been open minded but her acceptance over her mother in law's goal might be because of her fondness to her husband.
She never thought it was possible but it seems that she have finally fallen in love with her husband, quite badly.
She used to fear him and were relieved when he was away but now, whenever he was away, she couldn't help but to feel lonely to the point of crying.
Chiffon and Lola caught her on one of her episodes one time and when she told them she miss Katakuri so much, the two run away to find their older brother.
[y/n] was so embarrassed but elevated at the same time when Katakuri came back, questioning her why his sisters told him to hurry home.
Back then, she has no appetite and it causes Katakuri trouble. But now, she eats fine as long as Katakuri was there to watch over her to make sure she eats. If he wasn't there, she always end up totally ignoring her food, day dreaming, thinking about him.
Sleeping at night was hard too. She kinda developed an insomnia. When he was not there to sleep beside her, she'll think of him till morning. If he was there, sleeping beside her, all she would do was to snuggle closer to him, enjoying the warmth. She wanted to spend her night awake on his arms since at morning, he'll be up and away again.
One day, [y/n] saw the chef bring Katakuri's snack to a room. It was time for his snacks.
As [y/n] watched them, an idea struck her.
She smiled and asked one of Katakuri's men to bring her to Big Mom's Palace.
"Chiffon! Lola!" [y/n] called out to the twins. They we're with their other sisters Praline, Galette and Smoothie.
"Nee-chan? This is surprising, are you with nii-san?" Galette asked with a surprised look.
[y/n] smiled and shook her head. "I came alone. Katakuri-sama is having a snack. I don't want to bother him so I asked one of his men to bring me here."
"Ahh... Merienda is very important to nii-san," Smoothie nodded.
"It is for all of us," Praline said with a chuckle.
"Is there anything you need, nee-chan?" Lola asked.
"Ah, yes! You two we're good at making sweets, right?"
The twins nodded. "Well, yeah. But why are you asking?" Chiffon asked.
[y/n] smiled. "Can you teach me how to make a donut?"
Every afternoon, [y/n] would visit the twins and they would teach her.
It mostly end in disaster though since she tend to lose focus as she day dream about Katakuri.
The twins we're patient though, teaching her tirelessly. When she told them it was for their brother, the sisters, including Smoothie, Praline and Galette teared up muttering about 'precious love' making her blush in embarrassment.
Sometimes, the three would came in to watch their lesson just to tease her once she started day dreaming.
It was tiring but also fun. That lesson also make her more closer not only to Chiffon and Lola but also to the other three.
Seeing how she loves their brother probably made their soften on her.
Charlotte Linlin don't care that much about her children but her children cares about each other, [y/n] was certain of that.
Three more weeks until she finally perfected the donut.
One day, she shyly asked the chefs if they could allow her to be the one to make Katakuri's donuts.
The chefs hesitated at first but when she told them she wanted to do something for Katakuri and that Chiffon and Lola personally taught her, they conceded.
The chefs watched her work and nodded with a smile seeing that she was doing well.
After finishing the donuts, they told her they will bring it later to Katakuri.
Thanking them, she was about to leave when Katakuri's large figure appeared to the kitchen's door.
"K-katakuri-sama?" she look up at him in surprise.
"What are you doing in the kitchens?" he asked.
The chefs exchanged smiles when she look down to the ground, cheeks reddening.
"Lady [y/n] is the one who made your donuts for today's merienda, Katakuri-sama." one of the chefs told him.
Katakuri raised an eyebrow. "I didn't know you know how to make one."
"I... I asked Chiffon and Lola to teach me," she said in a small voice, nervously.
Katakuri stepped inside as his eyes landed to the donuts. He took one and turned around, making sure no one would see him eat and ate the donut.
[y/n] stood nervously, watching his back.
"This is delicious," he said, sounding surprised. He turned back and look at [y/n]. "It's delicious," he repeated.
[y/n] smiled in relief. "I'm glad."
She couldn't see it but he was actually smiling under the scarf.
"Want to take a walk outside?" Katakuri asked.
[y/n] nodded her head happily. "Yes!" she run towards him and grabbed onto his arm. She loved doing that.
Katakuri led her out of the kitchen.
Watching them from behind we're the smiling chefs, glad that unlike when she first arrived in that mansion, their lady was now lively and happy.
