Roy Kusayanagi Kaida Beumont
It seemed like Kaida had already put one on as well as fixing her hair into a bun giving Roy a full view of her face. His face turning a little red at how pretty she was, Mom would tease me so hard if she saw me right now.
"You look pretty with your hair up, I can see your face fully" Roy said giving a genuine smile as He put the apron on and rolled up his sleeves taking his time in order to keep his shirt from getting wrinkled. He noticed Kaida had already started with cleaning the rice.
"Yeah after you finish washing the rice, we are going to place it in the rice cooker. Considering this is domesticated rice, washing it thoroughly should improve the flavor. While you do that I am going to marinate the beef while. Roy searched through for a cutting board, knife, and small dish pan, he frowned a bit feeling like something was missing before lighting up."Ginger and one more thing" he said under his breath before heading over to Connoisseur and grabbing the items. He grabbed a draining bowl and placed the garlic and Ginger inside to wash them quickly in the sink before taking the Ginger out and slicing the ginger into 8 pieces and placing them at bottom of the pan as well as 2 pieces of garlic cut into 4 and placing it with the ginger. "You don't seem like a stranger to the kitchen Kaida" Roy then poured soy sauce, Rice wine, olive oil, and his last ingredient, maple syrup before stirring the ingredients with a spoon spreading a sweet and tangy aroma. "This is a recipe my mother uses, some people might strike using maple syrup with beef strange but when the beef gets cooked it will have a nice glaze to it." the boy was genuinely happy when he cooked completely forgetting he was at a top academy.
Kaida looked at Roy as he came back, eyes wide when he said that she was pretty with her hair up. She blushed and pulled her chin to her shoulder. First she’s called a beautiful angel, now roy has said she has a beautiful smile and pretty with her hair up. She didn’t know what to say… she only shyly said
”Thank you.”She took the rice and placed it in the rice cooker, she glanced at mina, as she watched her put water with it. She copied it as well, looking over to Roy when he mentioned she was no stranger to the kitchen. She nodded, “I have no experience with asian food, but I learned how to cook french cuisine from Jauq our head cook back home.”
He then went on to explain how this was his mother's recipe, She watched him as he seemed in his own little world. “Is your mother a cook?” she asked.
Roy kept stirring the marinade until it was nice and mixed it, smiling as Kaida thanked him, her reply to his statement of her looking comfortable in the kitchen caught him a little by surprise, “Head chef? So you must come from a wealthy family. Explains the whole home schooling thing too.”, Roy took his knife, and seasoned the steak with salt and pepper before rubbing the beef in the marinade. “I wouldn’t say a cook because she doesn’t make a living from it but she knows how to cook well, I would often help her in the kitchen from a young age so I picked up on a couple things.”
One he finished putting the beef in the marinade he washed his hands and placed the beef to let it soak up the sauce while the rice cooked.
"You're a smart, very attractive, wealthy, as well as skilled girl huh” Roy said folding his arms and smirking.
“Yet I feel like there is more that meets the eye to you,..tell me why exactly did you want to come to Komei academy to become a hero?” He leaned against the counter top.
Kaida thought it was sweet that his mother taught him while taking care of him. She wished she had her mother do that… She knew she cooked as well, that much she knew. How much more she would appreciate her skill if she had only learned it from her mother. She must be amazing to raise such a sweet boy. She hoped to by chance meet her someday,
He then went on to list the things she did. Only causing her to blush even more. But when he said there was more to her she looked away, her face going pale. Immediately thinking he was on to her, figuring out who she was. But as he continued, she calmed down enough to look back at him. She paused for a moment and said,
“I came because The Frenchman is here… He is the number one hero in France. “ She placed her hands to her chest, the mere mention of his name seemed to cheer her up as the stars were in her eyes.
“He’s amazing, an inspiration to everyone in France. I wanted the chance to learn under him. she conviently left out the part that he was her literary hero, for defeating her father. If she had said that then he would have asked how he was her hero.
Roy watched still smiling at Kaida as she turned her face away, his smile slowly fading wondering if he said something wrong. She said her reason for coming to Komei is to learn from the frenchman and that he is an amazing inspiration to everyone in France. Almost making it seem like he was their symbol of piece.
“That is a pretty cool reason to learn under your idle, though If you really wanted you probably could have gone to UA with your skill hypothetically speaking huh?” Roy said trying to bait out what she was really capable of.
“Having heat resistance is nice though I doubt it would get you into a top academy alone though. You must have some serious skill huh” Roy said getting excited as he clench his fist before relaxing a bit taking a deep breath.
“The reason I came to Komei was because it was really the only academy that would give me a shot surprisingly. I didn’t even make it to the hero course immediately, I had to transfer out of general studies just to get into hero course.” Roy said scratching his head, before smiling and clenching his fist.
“I-I want to be a hero that gives hope to those who have disabilities that makes it harder to chase their dreams...I want them to see me and say, hey he did it why can’t I. What keeps me going...despite how stack the odds are is the future possibilities.” He spoke softly,
“This may sound cheesy to you but this is honestly how i feel, everybody has their story but this is mine.” he scratched his head with a wide grin.
Kaida only looked down as he mentioned the UA She knew he was trying to reveal her quirk. Now that he knew it dealt with heat, but if she said she could breath fire, it would instantly be odd, other fire users don't ever breath fire. It would point to her real quirk. She only nodded her head, as if agreeing that it was just skill.
He went onto telling how he got here and why he wanted to be a hero. She smiled.
“It’s kinda how it was for me and The Frenchman, he gives me hope that despite my quirk I can be just as amazing as he is, without one. And continue that inspiration to others in his place somehow.” She looked at him,
Thats a good dream to have. I’m sure you will be an amazing hero. She played with a towel in her hands,
”Your quirk is amazing as it is, how is you only were able to get into General studies….if you don't mind me asking that is.Roy just grinned back at the girl, she was nice to hang around.
“Thank you for your support” he said bowing in front of her playfully.
“As to why I only got into the general studies, I did well on the written portion. Though when it came to the practical exam… it was indoors. My quirk is fueled by the sun, so no sunlight, little power.” Roy said folding his arms.
“Though after some review I suppose they let me into the hero course seeing that I have potential.” Roy completely leaving out the ultimatum with the principal.
“I don’t mind you asking personal questions as long as you don’t treat me any different because of what i been through...and I won't treat you any differently either Kaida. That's why every time you're sad or mad I want to make you smile again.” Roy said softly, the boy turned away and back over to the fridge as he took out the meat.
He placed it on the counter and pulled out a skillet turning the fire onto medium heat, before pouring a little bit of olive oil in the pan and letting it warm up before placing the steak in.
“When I heard you were fire resistance I got excited because my quirk makes it kinda tough for people to interact with me regularly since my body is naturally hot. It's nice knowing someone can handle the heat” Roy said winking at her.
Kaida nodded as he explained why, it made sense, though it was good that they saw the potential though. He then said he wouldn't treat her differently if she didn't if she found out more about his personal pass. She thought for a moment, sudden hope of finding someone to confide in… no no not Roy, despite how kind he was to her if he found out about her father and her real ability he would run away. Everyone outside her family at the castle did. As soon as they found out she was his daughter.
But she nodded nonetheless. She smiled when he said he would want to make her smile if she was sad or mad. It was odd, as he just met her, but with his final statement it kinda made sense why. He had a similar story, people couldn't/wouldn't get near him because of his quirk. His wink caused her to look down.
She watched him as he put the stake on and said,
”thank you Roy, you are too sweet. I'm glad we met each other.” She smiled. She didn't know what else to say, glancing at Jett and Mina seeing them deep in discussion, she turned back to Roy and asked quite suddenly.
“So did you, Kasuke, and Jett grow up together?”Roy laid the steak into the pan, placing pieces of ginger on top of it as it cooked, after it started to sizzle for a bit he let one side of the steak cook until it began browning. Kaida soon said that Roy was too sweet, the boys face getting a little red, she then asked if Mina, Jett, and himself grew up together.
“No, we all didn’t grow up together” Roy started chuckling,
“Matter of fact, i just met them today in our battle exercise.” Roy looked away into the distance sheepishly while scratching his cheek as he thought about how he lost.
“Both of them are pretty strong in their own right so I wouldn’t let my guard down around them” The steak had turned a light brown, Roy washed his hands before taking the marinade and pouring it into the skillet letting the steak glaze in the teriyaki sauce.
“The steak is about done, just letting it soak of up the teriyaki sauce, also there is another thing I wanted to ask you” He said wiping his hands with a rag.
“I know you're already teaching Acion how to use a sword, is there anyway you can squeeze in some lessons for me too?” Roy said smirking.
She nodded her head when he explained they just Met. He just seemed to know them enough to tease them, that's why she asked. She didnglace at them when he mentioned they were strong in their own rights, a little light construct of Mina kicking Roy came to mind. She wondered what their quirks were.
He mentioned that the stakes were almost done that they needed to soak up some juice, then suddenly asked her if she could teach sword lessons for him as well. She nodded slowly not that she didn't want to teach him, but she didn't want to bite off more than she could chew.
“Yes I-i can teach you a little bit. Just know I'm still learning myself, I doubt I am a good teacher as well. Just remember that…you might want to learn more from a true swordsman, like The Frenchman.”Roy just smirked,
“I have faith you will be a fine teacher. I’ll be more than satisfied if at least I can learn the basics of sword fighting. It's more so about me putting my versatility to use and creating a unique fighting style is my true goal.” Soon the rice cookers timer went off signaling that it was done,
“Looks like the rice is done, now we just have to drain the rice and let it cool before we form the onigiri.” He left draining the rice to Kaida since this was her first time cooking onigiri. Roy scratched the side of his head with a small smile, he laughed at the thought of how if she wanted to she could scoop the rice right out the pot. Though doing that while the rice is super hot would most likely just end up messing up the onigiri.
“I just ask for your best effort and i’ll give you mine, as long as I can learn the basics I will be more than satisfied.” He stuck out his hand for her to shake out of appreciation
“Thank you Kaida, it means a lot to me” he said softly.
