Who: steven stone (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
geophile ) and adrien agreste (meouch )
When: IC 5/18, after this.
Where: steven's apartment.
What: when you grow up attractive and wealthy, learning how to cook isn't exactly a priority. but with adrien coming to steven and asking for help, they've decided that it's high time that they figure it out! you take a guess on how well this is going to go.
Warnings: can you warn for stupidity
[ steven stone is a man of many talents. rising to the top of the pokémon league to become one of the world's top trainers? sure. commanding a team of ultra-powerful steel and rock monsters? no problem. playing a major hand in saving the world from a prehistoric legendary pokémon intent on turning the earth into a primordial sea? piece of cake.
but cooking a meal? that's where you've got him beat.
it's really something he should have addressed by now at his age, but he's always been preoccupied with something else, whether it's his job at the league, researching mega evolution, or travelling around to look for rare stones. but now that he's more or less grounded in cerealia, plus the fact that he has motivation in adrien asking him for help, there really isn't any reason to postpone it any longer. they're both capable, logical young men! they can feel their way through this!
they've agreed to meet today at steven's apartment - should anything go wrong (which he really hope doesn't), he's not about to leave the mess to adrien. they've agreed on a simple pasta, so he's got the ingredients out and ready on the counter as he flips through a cookbook. the instructions... seem easy enough. seem.
he sighs and looks away from the book, moving his eyes to beldum and aron. he's not going to ask for their help this time, but they're the only ones he's comfortable with showing his uncertainty to. ]
He'll be here soon. I'm sure it'll go fine.
[ and if not? he's got takeout on speed dial. ]

adrien is punctual, at steven's door right when they'd agreed, and surprisingly not as nervous as he thought he'd be. of course he's not going into this with the expectation that they're going to mess up and cause a fire or something, but the fact that he knows steven is as lost (and understanding) as he is makes him a lot more okay with the thought of failure.
maybe not a fire though. ]
Did I mention that this should be good since you're both clueless?
[ the hushed statement comes from inside his button-up, right where plagg is tucked away. ]
Just a couple of times. Stay in there or I'll burn some cheese just for you. [ is adrien's quiet response, coupled with a good-natured grin and a gentle push on plagg's head with a finger before he knock knocks on the door.
welcome to the first episode rich hell's kitchen i guess ]

if we're talking nervous, steven is probably feeling it moreso than adrien. with the position he held back home, he's not used to the idea of being clueless. he knows that the opinion of a non-judgemental 15 year-old is honestly nothing in the grand scheme of things, but... he wants to be impressive... and cool.
but that's all hidden nicely under the practiced, polite smile that he meets adrien with when he opens his door. ]
You're right on time. Come in.
no subject
nah
either way, adrien's returning the polite smile when steven lets him in, arms crossed neatly behind his back as he makes his way inside. adrien definitely didn't think they'd end up both stumbling in the kitchen when they first met but, well. here they both are, and he still has no idea how this is going to go (hopefully not into disaster territory, because as much as he feels that would end up Okay if it's steven, he's still an eager-to-impress-teen and he'd rather not seem silly in front of the cool role model pokéman at all). ]
Thanks— [ and a small wave to beldum and aron when he sees them, yes. ] —All ready?
[ no one's ready ]

it's certainly an odd way of "bonding", but if it ends up helping them both out in the long run, it's at least worth a try. and if it just ends up being a mess... well, it'll be a funny story that doesn't leave this apartment.
aron will be chirping a greeting at him, while beldum yet again gets up in his grill for headpats. you dug your own grave by indulging it the first time, adrien. ]
I believe so. I've gathered everything we'll need, so it's just a matter of following steps.
[ he'll prop the cookbook onto the counter as well, flipping to the recipe and reading it over. simple enough... right? ]
