I do not own Shokugeki No Souma or any of the characters inside it.
Souma's POV
I woke up because of my stomach grumbling on 11.30 pm which is really uncomfortable when you're sleeping. 'Oh yeah, I haven't had dinner yet.' I remembered as I slowly got out of bed. 'Wait, where exactly is the kitchen? This place is huge I'm gonna get lost.' I thought again as I exited the door to my room. Yes, my room not Erina's room. As I descended down the stairs, I could smell somebody cooking which I pressumed is from the kitchen, when I arrived at the kitchen entrance I peeked inside to find a certain blonde haired girl actually in her night gown griling steak. 'I guess she's also hungry huh?' I thought as I entered quietly and went behind her and peeked over her shoulder.
"If you're here to just annoy me you pervert then might as well get out of the mansion, in fact get out of Tootsuki grounds." She said turning around and glared at me while she pointed her spatula up to my face, which I in instinct raised both of my hands up.
"Oh come on Nakiri, it was an accident, I didn't know that was your room." I reasoned, as she turned her attention back on her cooking.
"Yeah, I'm sure it was, since after I found you out you groped my breasts." She stated sarcastically with a hint of venom in her tone.
I sighed and scratched the back of my head. 'This is gonna take a while.' I thought as I rubbed my temple. I proceeded to the fridge to get some ingredients. Once I'm done I brought them back to the station beside Erina.
"What are you doing here at this time of night Nakiri?" I asked although I would already know the answer to it.
"I could also ask the same to you. Pervert." She answered to which I just sighed.
"When are you gonna drop the pervert?" I asked as I started chopping the vegetables and made a batter then filleting the fish.
"When you're not a pervert." She said easily as she placed her steak on the plate and took it to the dining room.
I sighed and began to deep fry my fish once I covered it using the batter, and waited for them to get a little brownish yellow and took them out. I took out a frying pan and cracked some eggs making a sunny side up all the while frying some potatoes, later cooking them on the pan along with the vegetables and pouring sauce. Why am I cooking to what seems like breakfast you ask? Cause why not, It's easy to make and I'm hungry. Once they're all done I placed them all on the plate and took the utensils I used and Erina used to the sink and proceeded to the diningroom with my plate in hand. Once I got there I saw Erina sitting on a chair not eating yet.
"Um... is something wrong?" I asked as I placed my plate beside her and took a seat.
"I'm waiting for you idiot, it would be disrespectful if I started eating first. What took you so long?" She said and pouted giving a short glare at me.
"Oh sorry, I thought you would already ate without me." I said shrugging and took a fork and a spoon. "Let's dig in." I said to which she nodded.
"Itadakimasu." We both said in unison as we started to eat, halfway through it I could see Erina staring at my plate. I giggled and waved my hand in front of her pulling her back into reality.
"Want some Nakiri?" I asked as I pushed my plate towards her. She gulped and nodded but I pulled back my plate. "Not until you give me yours." I stated with a toothy grin.
Erina's POV
'The nerve of this guy.' I thought as I grumbled and gave him a glare. "Fine." I agreed shortly and passed him my plate while he passed me his. "Wait I'm using your fork and spoon?" I asked with a slight blush on my cheeks. 'Isn't that like an in-indirect kiss!' I mentally panicked as I remembered the scenes from my shoujo manga.
"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" He asked me already taking a bite out of my steak. "Woah, this is really good Nakiri!" He exclaimed with a smile.
'Guess he doesn't mind it or is he just that clueless?' I thought as I turned my attention back to the plate in front of me. I took a bite and it was like I was slapped on the face with a fish, the depth of the taste is amazing and the sauce and garnishes really compliments the fish. 'This is so good!' I thought as I hugged my body and let out a contented sigh.
"Enjoying yourself Nakiri?" He asked me with a toothy grin to which I just pouted. We both finished each others plate and took them to the sink. He was about to wash them but I stopped him.
"Let it be, the maids will wash them in the morning. It's like 01.00 am right now." I stated as I began to walk out the kitchen ascending the stairs, but lost my balance when I misstepped and was gonna fall face first on the stairs. 'This is gonna hurt.' I thought as I placed both of my hands in front of my face, but the pain never came. I looked back to see Souma hugging my waists preventing me from falling from the back. I blushed as I looked at our position my back to him while he hugs me from the back bending forward. I blushed harder if that'd even possible as he pulled me closer to him helping me stand up straight again.
"You should be careful Nakiri, or are you really that sleepy?" He said as I could feel his hot breath on my ears causing shivers down my spine.
"Y-you can l-let go Yu-Yukihira." I stuttered out feeling the warmth of his body.
"O-oh o-okay." He said finally realizing it as he let go of me blushing scratching the back of his head.
"I-I'll be in my room." I quickly said and speed walked all the way to my room.
Souma's POV
'Hope that this will not cause any awkwardness between us.' I thought remembering the incident just a few minutes ago as I laid down on my bed. 'Well, I should really be getting somd goodnight sleep it's really late.' I thought as I closed my eyes and surrendered myself to the Sandman.
(Time Skip)
I woke up at 09.00 am as the sun rays shone through the window lighting my room. 'I should really take a bath.' I thought as I went out of my room searching for the bathroom. Well, I pressumed it was the way to the bathroom, but all I found is that I'm lost. I hollered for a butler and a maid but no one came. I sighed to myself and walked back going to the kitchen, but why does it look different?
"Oh, who's this?" I heard a sound of a girl behind me. I turned around to find a short white haired girl with crimson eyes staring at me curiously one finger on her cheek tilting her head sideways.
"Um, Hi I'm Yukihira Souma." I said and awkwardly waved as she started to get closer kind of invading my personal space.
"I have never seen you in school before, are you new? How did you get in? Are you a burglar?" She asked with every question leaning forward, and forward.
"Um, I w-was invited to stay the night by the headmaster, I am a transfer student." I explained trying to not get arrested.
"Transfer student? Wait, Ojii-sama invited you?" She asked as she retreated herself and walked around in circles around sort of like a lioness surrounding a helpless gazelle.
"Y-yes, wait a minute did you say Ojii-sama? Are you a Nakiri?" I asked as my eyes widened.
"Well ye-" She was about to answer but was interrupted by a voice coming from behind her.
"Ojou, what are you doing?" The voice said and revealed to be a wild dark haired boy standing behind her with his hands in his pockets.
"Oh, Ryo-kun, Look look it's the transfer student Ojii-sama talked about." She replied to the boy which I pressumed was a student as Ryo.
"Yo, I'm Kurokiba Ryo." He introduced himself walking up to me with an oustretched hand.
"Yukihira Souma." I replied as I shook his hand to which he nodded.
"Mou, why do you get the spotlight Ryo-kun!" The white haired Nakiri complained as she pouted. "I'm Nakiri Alice, nice to meet you Yukihira-kun." She introduced herself and outstretched her hand once she was done giving a tantrum.
"The pleasure is all mine." I replied shaking her hand, but soon a voice came from behind me.
"Ah, Souma good to see you awake, had a nice sleep I pressume." The sound of the headmaster came from behind me to which I just turned my attention to and nodded.
"Yeah, one of the best sleep I have ever had." I replied giving him a toothy grin which he smiled back at.
"How about we have breakfast together?" The headmaster suggested as he walked past me.
"Um, I really need to shower right now." I replied scratching the back of my head.
"Ah, I see, Ryo could you guide him to the bathroom." He asked Ryo to which the boy just nodded and started walking, so I followed him.
"Hot water is available once you flick the switch right there, and the switch here is for the rain shower. Bath tub is just as usual. Towels and bath robes are provided right there." He explained as we entered the bathroom. "Then I'll be taking my leave, see ya." He said and waved to me in a monotonous expression as he retreated out to the hall.
"Okay, thanks!" I said and waved as I closed the bathroom door and started undressing. 'Guess I'll reuse my clothes then.' I thought as I hanged them.
I flicked the switch for the hot water and took a shower all the while filling up the tub, once I'm done showering I entered the tub and closed my eyes and relaxed, but the door flew open. 'Shit, I forgot to lock it!' I mentally panicked and alast in came Nakiri Erina humming to herself only in a bath robe and I choked a gasp as she quickly undressed and went stark naked, when she heard my gasp she turned around quickly wide eyed as she covered her womanly parts and screeched as I shielded my eyes, but then I heard a sniffle from her. I retracted my eyes to see her squatting and crying? I immediately got out of the bathtub and wore a bath robe provided.
"H-hey Nakiri, you okay?" I asked carefully walking towards her.
"Cover your eyes!" She shouted which I obliged and I heard rustling sounds which I pressume she was getting dressed again.
"L-look it was an a-accident." I apologized for whatever reason as I sealed my eyes shut.
"I-I know, baka Yukihira it's my f-fault." She said trying to sound ok but I still could hear the sniffles from her. "Y-you can look now." She said to which I opened my eyes.
"Hey, w-why are you c-crying?" I asked stuttering cause I was never good in these type of situations.
"I-it's nothing, forget about it." She said as she wiped her tears away.
"O-okay, I-I'll go now." I said as I took my clothes and exited using the bath robe and changed in my bedroom. Once I'm done, I walked inside the dining room to see the headmaster, Alice, and Ryo eating and chatting.
"Ah, Yukihira-kun what was that scream that we heard?" Alice asked me with a mischiveous glance and I blushed.
"I-it's nothing." I answered as I sat down on beside the headmaster.
"Oh, I know a lot of things in this household and one thing for sure it's not fine Souma." This time the headmaster chuckled as he gave me an amused smile. I casted my glance at Ryo and he just shrugged. Then in came Erina as she sat down right beside me. 'This is getting awkward.' I thought to myself as the maids came and served me and Erina our food.
"Itadakimasu." I said and ate the food quitely as the headmaster and Alice just kept giggling. I looked beside me and saw Erina staring at me and she mouthed"We'll talk later." and I nodded, as the headmaster casted both of us a toothy grin.
