Disclaimer: I own nothing.


E. Aster Bunnymund had seen a lot of things in his life. Believe it. He's Australian where at least two thirds of the environment tries to kill you. And as a botanist he has had his fair amount of encounters with creatures that had made any normal person scream and run away.

But of all the ways he had pictured his death, he had never expected for his demise to come in the form of the petite woman he called his girlfriend. Not that he was in a relationship with a serial killer or anything. In fact she loved him to bits and was quite happy after moving in together a few days ago.

And to celebrate the disposal of the last box that contained their belongings, she decided to prepare a home-cooked dinner.

So far in their relationship, Aster had done all the cooking. Toothiana, busy with her work at an orthodontics center, had sustained herself throughout her adult life on basic meals that consisted of fruits, vegetables and energy bars (lots of energy bars). Any contact with a stove had been minimum to none.

This should have set on a red alert on his mind, but even if he had offered to help, he was too taken away with her cute determined face. If she was happy so was he.

So that day when he came back from work, he found her already working in the kitchen in a rather secretive manner and was banned from the room until dinner was ready.

So he sat down on his favorite chair reading, listening carefully to the muttering and strange noises that came from within their kitchen in case Tooth needed assistance.
After a few minutes she reappeared, proudly carrying two steaming plates over to the table.

Feeling his stomach grumbling, he quickly took his place at one end of the table and looked at his girlfriend, who was beaming at him and looked almost radiant.
But when he looked down at his plate, the nightmare began.

In front of him was what he supposed to be a concoction that barely resembled vegetable lasagna, but it looked more like a lump of sticky lasagna dough mixed with vegetables. The layers were all messed up and the spinach and what once was artichoke didn't seem well cooked.

For all that is holy, what was that? It didn't smell very appetizing and Aster was afraid that it would suddenly grow a head and bite him if he used his fork on it.

He was about to say something but then he saw the earnest look in his girlfriend's eyes and knew that destiny was putting their relationship to test.

'Time to man-up, mate' and took a huge piece of lasagna. Who knows? Maybe it tasted good.

He took a bite.

No.

It was awful.

The lasagna noodles on the bottom were overcooked while the ones on the top had the opposite consistency. The noodles should never mesh with the basil sauce and...wait a minute had she actually replaced some of the layers with crackers? That added chunky to the list of adjectives he would use to describe the experience.

His only comfort was how happy Tooth looked. 'C'mon, mate. Just do it for her.'

He swallowed and felt like the food couldn't make its way down fast enough.

"Do you like it?" She asked expectantly.

He forced himself to have another bite to avoid the question, but the lasagna was now a lumpy mush stuck to the roof of his mouth. Gosh! The taste.

Something in his expression must have given him away because there was now a crease in her brow.

"Oh, c'mon. It can't be that bad" And to prove herself right she took a bite from her plate.

'Sheila, wait!'

Immediately, her face scrunched up in disgust. She grabbed her napkin and spat it back out.

"Oh god, this tastes awful!" She exclaimed after gulping down her glass of wine, trying to get rid of the taste.

He finally was able to give a sigh of relief and swallow down the food.

Tooth's face fell a little. "I knew I would mess this up." And then she looked at him. "You hated it."

"Toothy I..."

"And you still were going to eat it? For me?"

"I know how much effort you put into it, love."

That's when she quickly got up and hugged the life out him.

"You are the sweetest man I've ever met."

He hugged back. "If ya tell Jack, I'll deny everything."

She chuckled and sat on his lap. "Deal."

Drawing her close, he kissed her.

And that was when they sensed the strong smell of smoke. That was when the woman jumped out of his lap and run to the kitchen. "The cookies!". Aster was quick to follow and froze when entering the room, eyes almost comically wide. It was as if a bomb had exploded: there were remnants of dough on the walls and cabinets, the floor was sprinkled with flour, pots and pans along with boxes and wrappers of the ingredients were littering the counter and...Oh crickey, was that tomato sauce on the ceiling?

Tooth quickly pulled out something out of the oven and with a sigh leaves the tray of charred black and smoky cookies on top of the stove. He was already opening the window to disperse the smoke. The last thing to end the night was to get soaking wet from the fire sprinklers of their apartment.

Her shoulders fell and the woman looked so dejected that Bunny didn't dare to voice any of the comments that pop into his mind. So he quickly hugged her from behind to comfort her. "It's alright, sheila. Don't worry."

"But they were your favorite."

Her pout was just so adorable.

"Toothy, it doesn't matter. You tried to do something nice for me." He turned her around to look at her beautiful mauve eyes. "What's what North always say? Right, A for effort."

That made her smile a little. "Sorry for ruining the kitchen."

"Nah, it's ok. I'm sure you'll find a way to make it up to me some way." He smirked.

"Really and what could that be?"

"I'm sure we can have a nice brainstorm to come up with something." With that he was carrying her out of the kitchen and towards their bedroom, more than eager to live that post-apocalyptic war zone.
