A. Baking pumpkin pie with Leona
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
๐ You caught a nasty cold that was spreading among the NRC student body on campus as the season changed from a warm summer to a chilly fall.
๐ You didnโt want Leona to catch your cold, so you told him you wouldnโt see him or any of your friends until you got better.
๐ You also sent Grim to stay at Heartslabyul for a few days so that Grim wouldnโt catch your cold either.
๐ However, you were bummed because you wanted to bake pumpkin pie with Leona at Ramshackle. You were looking forward to baking pumpkin pie with Leona once the fall season started.
๐ The Ramshackle Ghosts took care of you, making sure you drank plenty of water and took the required medicines. All three of the ghosts cooked a large pot of hearty noodle soup for you as well.
๐ Leona missed you terribly, making him more visibly grumpy at Savanaclaw.
๐ Leona had his phone next to him at all times, and would snatch his phone every time he got a notification only to say โTchโ when it was just an app notification. He didnโt want to call you a lot throughout the day either because he knew that you needed rest.
๐ Ruggie was always shocked to find that Leona would be gone from Savanaclaw in the mornings. Leona would go to Ramshackle every morning before you woke up to give the Ramshackle ghosts some medicine that Leona asked his royal familyโs physician to send him (even though you only had a cold), porridge from Mr. Sโs Mystery Shop, or one of his thick, brown-and-gold patterned blankets.
๐ In his packages to you, Leona would also include little notes he wrote in neat cursive.
๐ Such messages would read: โHope ya like the porridge and snacks I got you. I miss you.โ The written messages got longer and more detailed as the days passed: โToday, Cheka came to visit me. He was sad that he couldnโt see you, so we picked some flowers for you from the Botanical Garden. I also left you a drawing that Cheka made for you. Love you.โ
๐ Your smile widened when you rummaged through the bag Leona gave the ghosts today, taking out a drawing of stick figures of you, Cheka, and Leona with โGet well soon!โ written in messy crayon handwriting in your favorite color (the cub had asked his โOji-tanโ Leona to spell โGet well soonโ for him).
๐ You then took out the carefully wrapped bouquet of yellow-orange chrysanthemums, lavender asters, and rosy dahlias. Your sense of smell was returning, and the fragrant scents of the flowers wafted up your nose.
๐ You missed hearing Leonaโs voice, so you grabbed your phone on your bedside table and video-called Leona.
๐ Leona picked up on the first ring and laid back against his bedโs polished oak headboard. The familiar sight of Leona with his dashing smirk and emerald gems for eyes (which sparkled at the sight of you) made you feel a lot better.
๐ โYou got me flowers?โ You hugged the bouquet to your chest with one hand while your other hand angled your phone so that Leona could see you with the flowers.
๐ โYeah,โ Leona couldnโt stop the smile growing on his face at seeing your face. Before he could ask you how you were feeling, Chekaโs fluffy light-brown lion ears popped up on Leonaโs phone screen.
๐ โY/N! I miss you!โ Cheka pressed his button nose against Leonaโs phone screen. Leona gently pulled the cub away from the screen, and Cheka laid his head against Leonaโs shoulder.
๐ โI miss you too, Cheka! Thank you for the drawing and flowers, I love them,โ you beamed, showing Cheka the flowers.
๐ โHey, I picked most of the flowers,โ Leona grumbled, turning to his side to face away from Cheka to have some alone time on video call with you.
๐ The cub pounced on Leonaโs side to see you, his tiny arms resting on Leonaโs muscled arm.
๐ โY/N, Y/N! I wanted to eat the bugs on the flowers, but Oji-tan took them off and told me theyโre not tasty and safe. Have you eaten bugs before?โ
๐ You chuckled, wishing you had seen Cheka trying to eat bugs and Leona stopping him.
๐ โI have not, but I agree with your uncle that theyโre probably not tasty or safe. You wouldnโt want to get a tummy ache, right, Cheka?โ
๐ Cheka tapped a finger to his chin, contemplating for a bit before answering your question. โYeah, I donโt want a tummy ache!โ Leona turned to look at his nephew, wondering who told Cheka that bugs were tasty and safe to eat.
๐ After chatting a bit with Cheka and Leona, you grew tired and needed to rest once more. Cheka gave you a goodbye kiss through Leonaโs phone, telling Leona to do the same. โOji-tan, you have to give Y/N a kiss! Mama and Papa told me that kisses make everything better!โ
๐ โ...Alright, alright.โ Leona brought the phone screen to his face, making a quick and slight kissy face at you. โMwah.โ
๐ Cheka giggled at his โOji-tanโโs funny expression. Leona quickly ended the call before you could screenshot Leonaโs attempt at a kissy face.
๐ On the day you pretty much recovered from your cold, you called Leona. He was at your dorm in five minutes with a large brown paper bag in his hands. His lion tail wagged behind him as you opened the door.
๐ Leona stepped into the foyer of Ramshackle, heading straight to your kitchen without giving you a hug or a kiss.
๐ โWhatโs in the bag?โ you followed him, peering at the bag in Leonaโs arms.
๐ โIngredients for pumpkin pie. You wanted to bake a pumpkin pie together when fall started, right?โ Leona already made his way into the tiny Ramshackle kitchen. โNow we can.โ
๐ After setting down the bag on the kitchen table, Leona turned around and enveloped you in a hug. His arms wrapped around your waist while your arms naturally found their way around his broad shoulders.
๐ โI missed you,โ Leona mumbled into your hair before pressing kisses onto your cheek.
๐ โI missed you too,โ you cupped his cheeks in your hands, causing Leona to nuzzle his right cheek against your left palm. โI loved everything you brought for me these past few days, especially your notes and the bouquet. I hated not being able to talk to you or see you in person. Itโs better with you here.โ
๐ โOf course it is,โ Leona teased, grinning as the two of you laid out the ingredients to make the pumpkin pie.
๐ Baking with Leona turned out to be a really efficient process since he treated it like a science experiment, making sure that all the measurements for the sugar, pumpkin purรฉe, and such were accurate.
๐ Still, Leona had one arm around your waist the whole time, clinging to you more than the bits of stray pumpkin purรฉe on yourโs and his faces. It was funny seeing an electric mixer get the best of Leona, who didnโt know how to use it at first and accidentally turned it up way to high when trying to mix the pumpkin purรฉe mixture for the pie.
๐ You couldnโt contain your giggles when Leona sneezed at the strong scents of pumpkin spice and cinnamon. He kept saying that he didnโt understand the โherbivore hype of pumpkin spice.โ
๐ Soon, a perfectly-baked pumpkin pie filled Ramshackle with the comforting scents of pumpkin and cinnamon. The pie sat on the kitchen table to cool next to a vase of still-fresh flowers, the ones that Leona gave you just days ago.
๐ The kitchen also filled with your and Leonaโs laughter as the two of you tried to wipe off bits of pumpkin purรฉe from earlier off of each otherโs faces.

Little notes:
๐ Flowers I chose were chrysanthemums, asters, and dahlias. According to Google, these are all fall season flowers and hereโs what they each symbolize:
๐ Chrysanthemums: well-being (Leona wishing for your well-being and speedy recovery from your cold)
๐ Asters: love (because Leona loves you hehe)
๐ Dahlias: commitment (How Leona would drop off notes and packages everyday for you early in the mornings)
๐ Also, Cheka thinking that bugs could be tasty are a reference to The Lion King (1994) when Simba was taught to eat bugs from Pumbaa and Timon :)
