Anon YOU READ MY MIND. I LOVE COOKING SO THIS FEELS SO INDULGENT TO WRITEEEEEE TYSM FOR THE ASK!!!!
Enjoy ❣️🐟
Cedric The Sorcerer And S/O With Cooking Love Language!
Cedric and food have a... Complicated Relationship
I have a damn good hunch that man is autistic, so texture/sensory issues, lack of hunger cues, and just Not Wanting To Eat because he's doing something he thinks is too important is a prevalent issue
Of course, you couldn't just NOT do something about it. You loved to cook! You love most of all to cook FOR people
So you ask him about food during your long talks together. Cedric mentions a few basic things he likes, like turkey, stew, potatoes etc but he keeps it irritatingly vague
You try to ask Sofia and even the royal cooks about cedrics favorite meals
All you gleaned from Sofia was his love of sweets and the royal cooks were clueless
Great.
Back to square one!
So with your limited knowledge, you decide to start off by surprising him with breakfast. Using Sofias information, you make him really fluffy pancakes with a dusting of powdered sugar! (Think Japanese style)
To keep things suited to his liking, you put all extras on the side; maple syrup, cut up strawberries (you made them heart shaped) blueberries, melted chocolate, and whipped cream. With some orange juice to wash it all down!
Can't forget some edible flower garnish!
You walked to his door, knocking with your foot (your hands were too full lol)
Cedric thought it was someone else, and he was cranky at first about being disturbed so early in the morning. He opens his door with a scowl, brows knitted in the way you know meant annoyance
But when his eyes rest on you, carrying a huge platter of fresh food and drink, he had to do a double take
Just. Cedric with wide eyes, his jaw about to hit the floor, tripping over his words like. "Wh- what's all th-this for, then...?"
You just give him a big cheeky grin and reply, "For my favorite person <3"
Cedric ushered you into his tower, asking you what the occasion was for, and you could tell he was anxious and worried- so you give him a kiss on the cheek, and tell Cedric that you just wanted to do something nice, and make sure he was fed! You know how busy he can get, so you wanted the sorcerer to start his day with the most important meal of the day
Cedric doesn't know whether to thank you, kiss you, or cry
He kinda does all three 😭
After thanking you profusely, he insisted you share the food with him. He said that you made enough for TWO small armies and he won't be able to eat everything
You try to insist that it was made for *him*, but in the middle of your argument your stomach started growling
Cedric gives you a shit eating grin that screams "I win" and you just sit down with a huff and a (fake) pout
You both enjoy breakfast together, and Cedric literally doesn't shut up about how good everything is
He noticed the heart strawberries and you swear it was the softest smile you've ever seen
He finished his plate and it made your entire day
From that day on, you asked Cedric if you can make him a meal once or twice a week- just to get him accustomed to it
You grow to learn more about food he enjoys, from breakfast to lunch to dinner
Cedric really enjoys sweets for breakfast
A light lunch, because the last time you made something heavy the man slipped into a food coma for three hours
And dinner is your favorite time to cook for him, because you can show off your cooking skills and eat it with Cedric together and make it SUPER romantic
Most of all though, you just love making sure Cedric is fed and taking care of himself. The man is a workaholic to a fault, and you both know it! Which is why he always says thank you and make sure you know how much this means to him
Speaking of, Cedric would try to return the favor in little ways- giving you magic flowers that never wilt, a magic show after a meal, small little animal wind up toys he cobbles together in his spare time (can u guess what his love language is? Lol)
Since he is a picky eater, it's been trial and error to figure out what he likes and doesn't- lots of veggies are a no no, and you respect it and don't push the issue. But the veggies he does like, you use as much as you can! After a while, I could see Cedric trying to branch out a little bit and getting slightly more comfortable with food he previously disliked because you make it taste good (you want to believe he can taste the love)
You try to stick within his comfort zone for food, but sometimes you'll bring something for him to try to gauge where you can cook him new food
Regardless, Cedric adores the effort and care you put into making him food! He offers to even cook for you sometimes! (He conjures it lmao)
Which leads to him talking about food magic! It's quite interesting stuff
But no matter what, Cedric always feels smitten every time he has the pleasure of eating whatever you make for him
Seeing an empty plate from Cedric will always be the highest compliment to you :)
Alright, that's about all I got! I honestly want to expand on this more, maybe make some Cedric inspired recipes???? Would y'all be into that????
I'm so sorry I haven't gotten to my DMs yet and there's still a lot of inbox messages I wanna get to as well!!! I've just been very burnt out. I've been working a lot of extra hours this past month and I'm not used to it so my energy levels have been way lower than they usually are. I've been getting about 30 hours more than what I'm supposed to be getting and it'll be coming from nowhere, on days I'm not available, and it's all just kinda... out of nowhere and making me super tired. I will get back to you I promise!!! I'm just a little bit exhausted is all
But on the plus side!! I got another part time job!! I got hired on the spot to work at a... idk if you'd call it a theater?? it's not a musical theater but it's a place where a lot of people have concerts or shows!! It's really hard to get hired here but I got hired on the SPOT to be one of the bartenders WOOHOO
John Legend was performing here a couple years ago!! Jo Koy was here a few months ago for a show too. Some disney voice actors were here last year. I'm so lucky I got hired, I can't wait to make some extra money and start treating myself again. It's been over a year since I've been able to make some self care money, I've just been living from paycheck to paycheck. But now!!! A few times a month I'll get some good money and maybe even get to mix a drink for someone famous!!! Very very very cool.
(( Every day I have to remember that Kuroo is probably the smartest, most capable doctor there is. Like this man canonically has operated on five people at once SUCCESSFULLY.))
((But he is also the BIGGEST dumbass at times and I cannot get over it.))
Kaito: Oh just so you know, it's very muggy outside

Saguru: Kaito, I swear, if I step outside and all of our mugs are on the front lawn...
Kaito: Sips coffee from bowl

//in whatever is the nicest format Theo has a device that can play it + digital, idk what that would be but assume Sky does. If Theo does not have a device that can play physical media then this is a CD + digital and comes with a portable CD player.
Hey dude, happy birthday! Here’s the latest from Carly Rae J - if you ever need bass on a cover, you know where to find me.
Let’s collab on some sick jams this year, yeah?

From Gwen: Music Composition Notebook but a different one from the one she gave Theo. an Attempt was made at matching her perceptions of their preferences.
Happy birthday, Ian, and best wishes in the year to come.
From,
Gwen
Also from Gwen, the day after Ian’s birthday: 40 oz water bottle, with a post-it note attached.
Drink at least four of these a day. Check with Samira if you don’t believe me.

From Daniel: small (pocket or necklace-size) wind instrument, homemade brownies, heartfelt card (card not pictured, text below), brought to Ian at the very start of their birthday (as in, 12am)
Ian,
I saw this instrument at the market in town and thought of you. The shopkeeper said that there are a lot of different notes it can hit depending on the combination of holes you cover, so hopefully it’ll be fun? I added a cord so you can wear it or attach it to things, but I can take it off again if that would be easier.
I know that the crew often does cake for birthdays, but I wanted to make sure you had some sort of treat right at the start of the day. I did have a taste tester so I reckon the brownies did turn out, but let me know?
I’m really glad to have met you - thank you for being such a wonderful friend to me, and always being there to talk and listen.
Anyway, happy birthday! I hope you’re able to spend it doing things you like :)
me upon descending back unto the blog like the curse on y'all lives that I am: oh yeah no Bum is nudging at me, his replies will get done first <3
