Chapter #5The Promise... by: waluigi   To say Tohru's skills in the kitchen had improved over time would be an understatement. Her dedication to miss Kobayashi meant she religiously researched ways to improve her maid duties, especially her cooking. New recipes were being cooked daily, and each one tasted better than the last.
That of course, didn't change the fact Kobayashi would only ever eat half if it.
Often, Tohru would atleast once a day, cook her tail in an attempt to have the woman she loved eat it, and somehow the reluctant businesswoman always figured it out before taking a bite, even in situations where it was so well hidden there was practically no conceivable way the human should of realized. The dragon maid was starting to lose hope she'd ever trick or convince her favorite woman to eat her tail meat.
This defeated attitude, while not hindering her duties as a maid, DID kind of make returning home rather...
Uncomfortable
Even Fafnir just stood up one day, stating "The atmosphere is far too depressing to be in" before walking out.
That was a clear sign Kobayashi had to do something she knew she'd come to regret.
The door to Kobayashi's apartment slammed open, a long day of work, and the second week after Tohru gave up trying to cook her tail as a meal.
"Tohru! I'm sick of your mopey attitude! I'm going to make a proposal!"
The dragon maid, who had been slumped on the couch after cleaning thoroughly, and dropping Kanna off at a friend's house for a sleepover, perked up. In classic Tohru fashion she had misinterpreted what her master meant, rushing over. "Oh my goodness, Kobayashi, this is all so sudden! I need to find a wedding dress! Find a place hold the reception? Who do we invite? WHEN DO WE TELL YOUR PARENTS!?" She had taken Kobayashi's hand into hers, overenthusiastic.
Then Ms. Kobayashi used her free hand to hit Tohru over the head with a rolled up magazine. "Not that kind of proposal!"
Not long after, Tohru sat on the couch listening to her master's deal. "No one is really fond of your attitude, all because I won't eat your tail. I've decided to try it once." Tohru lit up, excited that she could finally feed Kobayashi her tail. "But!" That sudden note of an upcoming addendum turned excitement into confusion. "If I don't like it for any reason, you gotta promise to stop cooking it, and not continue this stupid attitude of yours. Deal?"
"Oh absolutely, Kobayashi, just once is enough to ensure to ensure me of your love!" This statement got her another bop on the head with a newspaper.
Knowing full well she didn't have to hide it, Tohru simply cooked it on it's own, merely adding a few spices to add the necessary amount of kick for that wow factor. Before long, her thick juicy tail was plopped onto the dining table on a platter.
There was a moment of silence, as Kobayashi investigated it, likely pondering how to eat it, before tohru carved off a small chunk. "I understand you probably won't eat much, so I understand if this is all you want." All these years and NOW she chooses to be reasonable about it?
Miss Kobayashi sunk her fork into the meat, sniffing it. She shrugged. "Bottoms up I guess...' and with that, she put it in her mouth, thoroughly chewing the tail to ensure she got a proper taste. After about a minute, she finally gulped, a sight that left Tohru in a blissful state, blushing.
"Well now... that..."   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
