It All Started By One Single Tear (Rantaro x reader x YandereMastermind Kokichi)

Chapter 4 Part 11: A Relaxing Day with Rantaro

Your POV:

The events that unfolded from the last couple of days were stressful to say the least. Angie was given another chance at life, and so was Ryoma the same day with the help of the Necronomicon. Those were the good things that unfolded, but the more stressful things lied in Kiyo trying to hold my life hostage, as well as telling me his motive after being pressured into bringing him his meal by Kokichi himself.
The result was knowing that Kiyo wanted to kill me just so his sister could have a friend, both Kiyo and his sister trying to get me to accept that in order to keep my life. A mental breakdown was a result of that, but now, I was walking hand in hand with Rantaro to the dining hall for a second dinner date. Rantaro didn't give me a choice on who was going to prepare the food because he wanted me to relax, so that meant I was going to be eating Rantaro's cooking for the first time...
(A little recap since it's been a few months)
"R-Rantaro, might I ask, how long have you known how to cook?" I asked we turned into the direction of the Dining Hall.
Rantaro seemed to look back at me with a smile as I asked that. In all honesty, I really was curious about that. I loved cooking a lot too, and it was something we seemed to share a talent in. I recalled making him french toast once, when we were at the very beginning of this mess. I remembered that as the only time I even made something for Rantaro.
I knew that I learned a lot about cooking from the classes I took formerly before being trapped here, but I wondered how he learned how to cook or bake. It was something very much so on my mind, and I was really curious about it.
"I've known how to cook for awhile now," Rantaro laughed nervously, "I think I started learning when I was in elementary school."
"That's pretty cool," I told him in response, "honestly, the reason I enjoy cooking or baking was because it was one of my outlets to relive some stress."
Rantaro seemed to just smile lightly in response to that as we both walked into the dining hall. I blushed nervously in response to that, but while I didn't admit it, I was still stressed out about what just happened with the interrogation with Kiyo.
"I can see why it would be a nice way for you to relieve stress," Rantaro explained, "culinary, whether it be cooking or baking takes time and certain careful procedures to guarantee the success of each product. Taking kindness in each of those procedures gives a nice product that anyone would want to eat or buy. Your nature is kind, so everything you make will be infused with kindness, even if you are stressed."
I smiled lightly in response to that. Rantaro seemed pretty on spot with that. Normally when preparing something, it is said that the emotions that person gives when preparing food can be tasted. I thought that was pretty accurate. Every time I tasted Kirumi's cooking, I could feel the kindness she put into her food, and honestly, I felt it was true.
"I agree with that," I replied with a smile, "I'm really excited to taste your cooking."
Rantaro smiled lightly at me when I told him that. Since we were in the dining hall now, he walked over to the area I usually would sit at. He pulled out the chair, and he bowed slightly.
"Then by all means, princess, take a seat and I'll get started," he told me.
My face almost exploded in a blush when he said that. I nervously walked over to my usual spot in the dining hall, where Rantaro pulled out the chair for me. I sat down silently, knowing very well that my face wasn't cooling off.
'Rantaro seems to keep teasing me...' I thought nervously, 'he always catches me off guard, and I keep getting overly flustered about it...'
Rantaro seemed to smirk lightly at me, seeing how flustered I was from his words. His smile soon turned from a smirk into a soft smile. I felt him ruffle my hair slightly with a small chuckle.
"You just relax out here, princess," he told me, "but before I start preparing the food, why don't you tell me what you want to eat."
"Y-You j-just surprise me..." I stuttered nervously in response.
"Ah-haha, alright," Rantaro replied.
My eyes widened slightly when I felt his lips graze my cheek in a soft and caring manner. I lightly placed my hand on my cheek from where I felt his lips, and I smiled lightly from it. I really did love him... and nothing would change that.
"Please just wait out here for me. It might be a longer waiting time, but I can assure you that it'll be worth it," Rantaro told me.
"Please take your time," I told him in response, "cooking takes time, so I understand that well."
Rantaro seemed to chuckle lightly in response to that. He was smiling lightly at me with caring eyes. In all honesty, nothing would've prepared me for the next thing he said.
"Good girl," he said with a chuckle.
My face lit up once more as he walked over to the kitchen area of the dining hall. He left me in shock, and I was basically freaking out slightly. I laid my head on the table after I saw him disappear into the kitchen.
"W-Why does he tease me so much!?" I exclaimed to myself, "Rantaro, you huge flirt..."
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't calm myself down. I was overly flustered, like always when Rantaro teased me. This always happened, but now I did have some time to calm myself down...
