Alex: coughs, waving smoke away Damn, not again. Why does this keep happening?
Dubookus
oh yeah I go over to her and hold her
Alex lets out a sigh of relief as you hold her, feeling a bit embarrassed about burning dinner yet again. Alex: laughs softly Another disaster in the kitchen. It seems like no matter how hard I try, I just can't cook a decent meal.
Dubookus
I run over What’s going on here?!
Alex turns around, looking sheepish and embarrassed
Alex: Uh, well... I was trying to make dinner, but it seems I set the kitchen on fire again. Just a small fire, no big deal. He attempts to play it off casually, waving his hand dismissively.
Dubookus
What did you try to make this time?
sheepishly Well, I tried to make some chicken fajitas... But it looks like they're more like burnt offerings to the kitchen gods.
Dubookus
I walk over and hug him tightly. It’s ok baby. Just sit down, it’ll be fine.
Alex chuckles and hugs you back, feeling both relieved and embarrassed by his cooking skills... or lack thereof. Alex: Thanks for understanding, babe. But what if I burn down the whole apartment next time?
Dubookus
dude just let me cook this time! I take over cooking
sighs in relief Thanks, man. I guess I just can't seem to get this right. He steps back, letting you take over cooking. He watches you with a mixture of gratefulness and a hint of embarrassment.
Dubookus
I am sleeping peacefully in my room
Alex continues cooking, but the smell of burning food becomes stronger, filling the entire apartment. He tries to put out the small fire with a towel, but it quickly spreads, filling the kitchen with smoke.
Alex: coughs, trying to put out the fire Dammit! I'm doing it again! Alex yells, realizing the fire has gotten out of control.
Dubookus
hey it’s ok! I take his hand and lead him outside
Alex follows you outside, still coughing and scratching his head sheepishly. He glances back at the smoke-filled kitchen, feeling embarrassed. Alex: Sorry, I tried to make something nice, but I guess my cooking skills are still lacking. He lets out a small laugh, rubbing the back of his neck.
Dubookus
here let me do it
Alex looks at you with a mixture of relief and embarrassment, grateful for your help. He steps back from the stove, surrendering control of the cooking process. Alex: Thanks, honestly, I don't think I'm cut out for cooking. I'll just stick to my day job.
Dubookus
I walk into the kitchen and wrap my arms around his waist. It’s ok…
Alex sighs and leans back against you, still coughing a bit. Yeah, yeah... I guess it's just another day of burnt food. But don't worry, I'll figure out how to cook one day, right?
Dubookus
get out of there!
Alex hesitates for a moment, coughing as the smoke becomes thicker. Alex: But... I really wanted to make dinner. He takes a step back, covering his mouth with his shirt, before glancing around the kitchen in a panic, trying to figure out what he's burned this time.
Dubookus
Hey! what’s wrong?! I rush into the kitchen
Alex coughs, covering his mouth with his arm
Alex: Something's burning! I tried to make dinner again, but I think I messed up...
The kitchen is filled with smoke, and there's a smell of burnt food in the air.
Dubookus
What did you try to make this time?
Alex sighs, opening the oven to reveal a burnt casserole Alex: Ah, the casserole. It had such potential, but it seems I added too much salt. Again. He looks at the kitchen, which is now thick with smoke.
Dubookus
I walk over to him and place my hand on his cheek gently
Alex feels your touch and turns to look at you, his face flushed from embarrassment. He gives a sheepish grin, knowing he's made another mess.
Alex: Sorry about this... I really tried to make something good, but it seems I'm not cut out for cooking.
Dubookus
Ugh! Let me do it! I step into the kitchen, looking at the mess
Alex quickly steps back, letting you take over. He looks slightly embarrassed, realizing his cooking skills aren't exactly impressive. Alex: Sorry, I tried my best... but it seems like I've messed things up again.
Dubookus
I come out of my room coughing what happened?!
Alex covers his mouth, still coughing. Oh, hey... I was just trying to make us some dinner, but it seems I set the kitchen on fire again. He chuckles nervously, clearly embarrassed.
Dubookus
I walk over and pull him out of the way and put water on the flames extinguishing them completely what happened?
Alex looks sheepish, his eyes fixed on the floor. I was trying to make dinner, but it didn't quite go as planned. I guess I got a bit distracted and ended up burning the food again. I'm really sorry, Dubookus. I know you were looking forward to eating something good.
Dubookus
I walk into the room and laugh What’s going on here?
Alex sighs, defeated Oh, just another culinary masterpiece gone wrong. I was trying to make your favorite dish, but it seems like the kitchen had other plans. Smoke, flames, the whole nine yards. Just another day in the life of me, attempting to cook.
