I want to see (you) Sorina childhood friends AU part 3

Erina and Hisako begin to travel the world for her tasting work and they always tell Soma about their trips. Soma is happy for them but also a little jealous that they get to have such fun adventures. One day he asks his dad if he can go with him on one of his trips and Tamako says it’s a good idea. Jo starts bringing them along when he goes to cook and his jobs turn into little family vacations. They go every few months and Soma always cooks at every place they go

The trio exchange stories and gifts after every trip they take. Erina tells Soma about New York and Soma says his dad never took them to America when he goes so he doesn’t know much about it. He eventually asks his dad and Jo gets evasive. Tamako asks him about it privately and he admits he’s hiding something from them. Or rather, someone. Tamako is rightfully pissed and demands he tell the truth. Jo tells her about Asahi and Tamako says in no uncertain terms that they’re all going to America together next time. Soma is 7 here.

Next time comes and Soma is excited to finally go to America, though he doesn’t get why his parents look so nervous. After Jo’s job is done (and Soma learns about American food culture) he takes the family to a little orphanage and they meet a young (10) boy with messy black hair.

Asahi is initially thrilled to see Jo again but freezes when he sees who he’s with. He doesn’t need to guess since Jo talked about them, but Asahi never thought he’d meet Jo’s family. His real family. Tamako sees how nervous he is introduces herself and tries to calm him down. They all have a little chat and everything seems to go well until Soma pipes up “So we came here to see Asahi? Why? Who is he?”

This gets everyone to freeze. Leave it to a 7-year-old to point out the elephant in the room. Asahi feels like he’s going to puke because now they’re here. They’re at the point where they’re going to throw him away, tell him he’s not Jo’s real son. But he can’t just let go of the 3 years of memories he has with Jo. So he beats them to the punch. “I’m Asahi Saiba! Jouichirou’s my dad!” He declares.

This shocks the Yukihira family but before long, Tamako grins. Before she can respond, Soma once again pipes up. “Wait, if dad’s your dad… does that make you my big brother!? I have a big brother?? Why didn’t you guys tell me?!” Soma asks in excited delight. Now it’s Asahi’s turn to be shocked. He was expecting to be rebuffed and cast aside once again, now he has the son of the man he considers his father declaring him his big brother.

Tamako laughs and playfully smacks Jo

“Yeah, why didn’t we tell Soma he has a big brother?” She asks, loving seeing Jo squirm. She tells the boys to play and “get to know your brother.” She tells Asahi to stay back for a second though

“Asahi, I know you’re worried, but you don’t have to be. Everything’s gonna be ok. I promise.” Tamako says, holding out a pinky. Asahi is hesitant but he sees her smile and his hope outweighs his fear and pinky promises her.

The boys go out to play and Tamako and Jo have a serious discussion about Asahi. Tamako wants to bring him home and adopt him but Jo is hesitant. Not because he doesn’t love the boy but because he’s worried about his and everyone else’s reaction. Plus he still feels guilty keeping him a secret.

“Oh, you definitely should be, but we’ll focus on that later. Right now, all that it comes down to is this: do you love him?”

“Of course I do but-”

“Is he your son?”

“Tama, it’s not that simple.”

“Yes it is. Jo, look at me. Look me in the eye. Yes or no, is he your son?” Tamako asks seriously and Jo can’t help but say he is. “Then that’s that. We gotta bring our boy home.” Tamako smiles.

Outside, Soma and Asahi are playing. Soma asks why the other kids avoid Asahi and he says because they can never win when they play. Asahi copies their moves so they don’t like it. Soma asks to see and he thinks it’s really cool. Or rather, Soma is trying to play with Asahi but the older boy is hesitant. He doesn’t talk much and Soma can see he’s not having fun. He asks what’s wrong Asahi admits he’s nervous. This is the first time he’s meeting Jo’s family and while he doesn’t want to cause any problems, he also doesn’t want to stop seeing Jo. Soma reminds him that mom said she’d take care of it. Asahi says it’s not that simple since he’s not Jo’s real son but Soma is confused at this.

“Mom said you’re my brother, and you said dad’s your dad? Even dad said so. So that means mom’s your mom.”

“If that were true, why haven’t I been there?”

“We’re bringing you home this time, right?” Asahi is stunned. He doesn’t think that’ll happen but Soma is adamant. He grabs Asahi’s hand and marches back inside, saying he’s going to make them bring Asa-nii home with them.

Tamako and Jo are talking about the legal processes they’re going to have to go through to adopt Asahi and bring him to Japan when Soma comes marching back in, dragging Asahi along. “We’re taking Asa-nii back home!” He announces. Asahi is red faced from embarrassment and Tamako and Jo share a look before laughing. “Yeah, we are kiddo.”

“Oh, ok. See? I told you mom would take care of it.” Soma says simply, as if there were never any doubt. Asahi is on the verge of tears; he can’t believe this.

“Please don’t say it if you don’t mean it.” He says meekly. He can barely hold it together. A lifetime of pain and disappointment has kept him from hoping but right now they’re higher than they’ve ever been. If that hope turns out to be false, he might just break completely.

“We mean it kiddo. We’re talking to the orphanage about all the legal stuff, but it’s happening.” Tamako assures. Asahi looks to Jo for one last confirmation.

“I should’ve done this a long time ago, Asahi, and I can never apologize enough for not doing so. But one way or another, we’re bringing you home. That’s a promise from your father.” Jo declares and Asahi’s dam breaks. He runs into his father’s arms, crying tears of joy and Jo responds in kind.

They end up staying in America for a while to finalize the adoption process and getting Asahi’s records. Soma’s practically attached to Asahi’s hip and whenever she’s not doing paperwork or working through all the legal procedures, so is Tamako. “You got a 3-year head-start on us so we gotta make up for lost time!” Tamako says. Asahi has absolutely no complaints. Before they came, he was still complacent with seeing Jo a few times a year, knowing that their bond was strong but never really parent and child. Now, not only is Jo officially his dad, he’s got a mom and little brother. And a grandpa back home. He’s got a home! A few weeks pass, and Asahi is officially adopted and home in Japan.

At one point when dealing with all the papers, Asahi's name comes up. Everyone assumed that he'd go with Yukihira and he honestly wants that too, but he also doesn't want to get rid of Saiba. It's his link with Jo and the name is special to him. Tamako catches on to his hesitation and talk to him about it.

"Everything alright there, kiddo?"

"Y-yes ma'am!" "Asahi, how many times do I have ta ask you ta call me mom? Or at least Tamako? Literally anything but ma'am."

"Sorry ma- Tamako-san... I'm just not used to this yet."

"S'alright. You got the rest of your life to get used to it. So what's got ya stumped there?"

"Oh, uh. Just the name part..."

"You don't like Asahi?"

"No, that's not the name I'm having trouble with."

"Yukihira is the issue?"

"No! No- I'm so honored you'd let me use that it's just... Saiba..."

"I see."

"That's the name that Jouichirou gave me, it's... I don't really know how to explain it."

"You don't have to, Asahi. It's special to you, right?"

"Yeah."

"And you don't wanna get rid of it."

"But I also don't want to be rude to you and Soma."

"I get it. Look, Asahi. I wanna thank you for being honest with me. I also wanna apologize for not coming to get you sooner. Trust me, I gave Jo an ear-full when he fessed up. But I need you to know something, and I want to you look at me when I say it so you know I'm serious. I need you to know that you're our family now, and we're yours. No matter what name you choose, no matter what you do, you will always be our family. Jo's always gonna be your dad, Soma's always gonna be your brother, and if you let me, I'll always be your mom. But no matter what, you'll always be my boy."

Asahi fully breaks down in Tamako's arms and they're both ugly crying tears of catharsis. He starts calling her mom right then and there. Asahi eventually decides on Asahi Saiba-Yukihira as his name

Kazusato wastes no time in spoiling his newest grandson, and even less time scolding his idiot son in law for not doing this sooner. It takes a few months for him to gain Japanese citizenship and he also goes through a few language classes to brush up his Japanese. But Asahi is a very quick learner and it’s discovered that he has a photographic memory, and that especially translates into cooking. He can see a technique and understand it after a few tries. Once he understands it, he never forgets it.

Soma’s initially jealous that Asahi can do that but it just makes him all the more motivated. He also tells Erina and Hisako right away that he got a new brother and when they come over next time, they all meet. Asahi’s a little nervous because he’s meeting his little brothers best friends and wants to make a good impression

He doesn’t have to worry too much about that though since Soma vouches for him. He decides to make a dish to break the ice and is surprised with how critical Erina is. He’s even more surprised when Soma agrees with her. Erina is pleased that Soma is actually listening to her critiquing methods. “How can I not when you do it all the time?” Erina sticks her tongue out at him. Soma responds in kind. Hisako tells him that yes, it’s like this a lot.

I want to see (you) Sorina childhood friends au part 2

Erina becomes a pretty familiar face in the diner. The patrons think she’s cute and Souma keeps cooking for her. Tamako absolutely adores Erina and makes no effort to hide the fact. Her and Kazusato love the little girl.

Erina starts bringing Hisako along and introduces her as her aide. Hisako is a little shocked that Erina spends so much time in such a common setting, but all doubts are gone once she tries Jouichirou’s food. Some doubts return when she fully realizes just how chaotic the Yukihira family can be.

Eventually, Erina starts to cook in the kitchen too and Souma holds his seniority over her. She pouts and bets she’ll already be a better cook but it’s her first time in a live setting but she quickly gets overwhelmed by the pace. Souma calms her down with the hand slap and takes over.

Hisako is annoyed that Souma deigns to assume he can do better than her Lady but quickly takes it back when she sees him work. Erina even admits it that yes, she can cook food better, but Souma has actual kitchen experience. Plating, serving, working under pressure, customer relations, he surpasses her in all of those. But make this a 5-year-old speak version.

Hisako sees what she means and both of them carefully watch Souma perform in the kitchen and the diner, swearing that they’ll surpass him. Soon, when Jo is teaching Erina something, Souma talks to Hisako alone and they get to know each other. Hisako is more respectful to him since Erina is friendly towards him and his family.

Souma asks how long she’s been friends with Erina and Hisako denies this, stating that she is merely Erina’s aide. One such as her is not worthy enough to be her friend. Souma finds this super weird cause he and Erina are friends. And every time Erina talks about her, she always says that Hisako’s her friend, though she wishes she’d be closer. Hisako is shocked and Souma encourages her to stand beside her as a friend instead of behind her as just an aide.

“Oi, Erina. Is Hisako your friend?” “What are you talking about, of course she is!” “Ha! I told you.” Souma tells Hisako in triumph. From that day on, Hisako and Erina become proper friends. As do Souma and Hisako, with her being eternally grateful that he gave her that push. The three go on to be a proper trio.

Souma has been to the Nakiri mansion at this point and met Alice.

just when things are going great for everyone, Azami comes in and begins Erina’s “education.” He cuts off contact with her friends and Souma gets worried that he hasn’t heard from her in a while and reached out to Hisako. Hisako tells him what’s happening, Souma tells his dad, and Jo tells Senzaemon, who promptly kicks out Azami from the Nakiri family. They’re all around 6 now.

Erina returns to the Yukihira restaurant and things seem normal again. Until she tastes a dish Souma cooked. Azami’s conditioning is still freshly ingrained in her and so she’s overly harsh to his food, almost cruel. In fact, for a 6-year-old, it is cruel. Souma starts crying because he doesn’t know why his best friend is mean to him. This gets Erina to cry because she made Souma cry and she’s really sorry. Hisako is crying because her best friends are fighting and crying and Jo and Tamako have to deal with a trio of crying 6-year-olds.

Tamako is consoling Erina while Jo explains to Souma and Hisako what Azami did to Erina in a way that’d be appropriate for 6-year-olds. Souma and Hisako naturally conclude that Azami is a jerk and a butt head and hatch a plan to make Erina feel better

Tamako is comforting Erina when Souma and Hisako come back into the kitchen and announce they’re going to cook something for her so she feels better cause her dads a jerk

they keep making dishes for Erina to try and she starts out still somewhat mean but Erina dials it down each time with Tamako’s help until she’s giving them honest critiques and advice. The “failed” dishes go out to the customers in the diner as an “experimental” gamble like Tamako does but each one is a massive hit for pallets not as refined as Erina’s.

each dish is better than the last one and by the end, all three of the kids are smiling and having a good time. Erina even calls it delicious. Souma and Hisako are happy that Erina is feeling better but he says her “delicious” doesn’t count for his goal since he had Hisako’s help. He wants Erina to say his food is delicious all on his own.

with the combined efforts of her two best friends never giving up on her, therapy, the support her family, reconnecting with Alice, and the Yukihira family, Erina is able to heal from the wounds Azami inflicted. Though a scar still remains.

I want to see (you) - Sorina childhood friends AU

When she’s 5 years old, Erina Nakiri is served food by Jouichirou Saiba. Food has always been a part of her life in a way that no other person can imagine. Despite that, she has no real interest in it. Until she tastes his food. She’s wandered into a tasting for her grandfather and this tall, ponytailed hair man heard her stomach rumble and immediately made her the food that would change her life.

A month after that day, Erina had hounded her grandfather to bring that chef back. Try as she might, she can’t replicate the dish he made. Senz knows she just wants to eat his food again and gives in to his granddaughter. Instead of bringing Jo to her, Erina will go to him.

Erina is excited, expecting a grand mansion fit for a chef of his caliber but gets increasingly more confused when the limo her grandfather had gotten takes her to a hole in the wall diner in some town. Her grandfather assures her that she’s in the right place.

She enters the diner and is surprised with all the customers. She’s even more surprised when a boy her age asks for her order. She asks to see chef Saiba and the boy introduces himself as Soma and tells her there’s no one named Saiba here. The only chefs are his mom, dad, grandpa, and him.

Erina wasn’t expecting the boy to be a chef but she says she was told chef Jouichirou Saiba would be here and she’s come all the way here just for him.

“Well like I said, only my family are the chefs and the only Jouichirou here is my dad. But he’s a Yukihira, not Saiba.” Erina starts complaining on how she came to this nowhere town for the wrong Jouichirou and her and Souma get into an argument. Jo comes from the kitchen to see what all the ruckus is about and is surprised at what he sees.

“Little Erina? What are you doing here?” “Chef Saiba!” “Dad, you know this girl?” “Wh-why did you call him dad? That’s chef Saiba!” “No that’s my dad!”

Jo calms the two down and has to explain that his name used to be Saiba, but he took his wife’s name when he married. Soma is mad that he never told him and Erina is embarrassed because not only did she insult chef Saiba’s home, but she fought with his son!

Erina’s about to apologize when a new voice cuts in, asking what all the commotion’s about. Tamako Yukihira comes from the kitchen confused. Jo explains and Soma asks Erina why she came here. Erina says that she had Jo’s food before and it was the best she’s tasted, so she came to get more.

Tamako offers to cook for her but Jo quickly shuts that down, explaining to her that Erina has an extremely sensitive palate. He’ll tell her more later. Tamako wants to know now and while his parents bicker, Soma offers Erina a menu and tells her he’ll cook whatever she wants.

Jo thinks it’s a good idea and Tamako asks if he’s sure. “Yeah, she came all this way for our food. She’s a customer.” Soma says it so matter of factly that his parents can’t help but be proud. Erina is skeptical but if chef Saiba is ok with it… she selects furukake Gohan and soma steps right into the kitchen.

Erina tries to follow but soma teases her and says “employees only” “hmph, do you know who I am!?” “Yeah, you’re the girl who came outta nowhere and mixed up my dad.” Soma shoots back, making Erina embarrassed. Soma adds “You’re also a customer so I’m gonna cook for ya. Gimme a few minutes.”

As Soma is cooking, Erina sits by Jo and asks if it’s really alright for a boy so young to be cooking in a kitchen. Even she isn’t allowed near open flames without supervision. Jo explains that soma’s been cooking for almost a year now under his tutelage. He’s nowhere near good as Jo, but he might surprise you. Jo asks why Erina came here and how she found him. She answers that her grandfather did some digging and she really wanted to taste his food again.

Tamako comes in and starts teasing Erina about trying to steal her man and Erina blushes a rather spectacular shade of red, stuttering on how that was not her intent. Tamako ruffles her hair and assures her she’s kidding and soon soma comes out with a steaming hot bowl and sets Erina’s order in front of her “order up!”

Erina is hesitant but Jo reassures her. She takes a bite and is instantly overwhelmed due to underestimating Soma. She readjusts and takes another bite and she’s able to find flaws in his dish. Soma asks how it is and Erina says it’s better than she expected, far better than a 5-year-old has any right to cook. Soma starts teasing her for underestimating him and Erina harrumphs. Soma asks if it’s delicious and Erina just says is passable, not willing to give him the satisfaction.

Jo offers to make a dish and Erina readily agrees. Erina and Soma chat a little and jo brings his dish out, he made the same thing as soma to rub it in his sons face. Erina instantly is captivated and says it’s better than Soma’s. Before she can call it delicious, Soma interrupts and demands a second chance. He storms off into the kitchen and starts working on another one. Erina asks if that’s normal and Tamako laughs, saying that Soma’s been trying to beat his dad for months now. Erina is surprised that a 5-year-old has been going up again someone like chef Saiba but jo say’s soma’s the most stubborn kid he knows. Soma comes back with another dish for Erina and while it’s indeed better than his last one, Jo’s is still superior.

Erina and Soma start arguing again and a ringing starts coming from her. She takes out a phone and explains her grandfather gave it to her to keep in contact for the trip. She answers and then gives the phone to Jo. “Chef sai- I mean Yukihira. My grandfather would like to talk to you.” Jo takes the phone and Tamako keeps the kids company.

Jo and Senz talk about the situation. Senz reveals that Erina has a detail security team with her and Jo reveals that Soma is his kid. They continue talking and Jo loses sight of the three. He finds them in the kitchen with Erina watching Soma and Tamako cooking with Kazusato. Erina has no actual kitchen experience at this point so she’s fascinated by how these three are doing, especially Soma. She never thought there’d be an actual chef as young as her.

Jo smiles and tells Erina that her grandfather said it’s time to come back home, there’s a car waiting for her. Erina is a little sad but Soma tells her that she has to come back. He needs to cook for her again so she’ll say his food is delicious. “You’re not bad, I’ll give you that. But you have a long way to go before I say that.” “I don’t care. I'll try for as long as I have to to you say my food is delicious!” Jouichirou and Tamako share a look. A week later, the same black limo pulls up and a little girl asks a little boy for the special of the day.

Remember that Sorina childhood friends AU that I mentioned before? I'm gonna start posting about it on my main blog and re-blogging it to here. I don't really have the time to fully write it out, so I'll just be doing quick bullet point-like summaries of parts of it. I might end up writing out full scenes, though.

[incorrectshokugeki]

Ship headcanons? If you want please so some Sōma x Akira! They're my otp but I don't see anyone else shipping them T ^ T

Sorry this took a while! I'm not too active on this blog anymore (if it wasn't obvious but I am cooking up an AU that I might write) but I got you.

Akira actually thinks Soma's food is delicious so he's pretty much always ok with testing Soma's new experiments, only to forget the culinary monstrosities he can come up with

Nose plugs are a common sight during these times

They are the "enemies to rivals to lovers" trope only they're still rivals while lovers. (Honestly, Soma is this with like 90% of the ships he's in)

Akira can be overwhelmed with just how much prep and experimentation Soma does and it inspires him to work even harder

The two of them bond over the trauma of being smacked by Jun

Once Soma gets to travelling around the world, he always looks for things and new spices that he thinks Akira will love (and some he knows Akira will hate)

Akira opens his own restaurant when he's older and every now and then Soma cooks at it when he's not travelling. Demand sky rockets on those days

Akira introduces Soma to high fashion while Soma gets Akira into trash "reality" TV. They both hate and love each other for that

They adopt a cat who Soma names "Peanut Butter". Akira is annoyed to no end that the cat only answers to that

The day Akira calls the cat "PBJ" Soma is so happy he holds onto Akira the whole day

Akira sometimes uses Soma's fingers as replacements for his cinnamon sticks to smell. Soma thinks it's one of the most attractive things Akira does.

So I’ve come down with a case of sns brainrot and came up with a childhood friends sorina au which leads to Hisako joining up and becomes a childhood friend trio (only romance here is with sorina) and that led to a natural story progression where Alice picks up Hayama to match Erina since she now has a lackey (Soma) along with an aide. My only problem is that this ruins a really great interaction between Hisako and Hayama if that happens. On the other hand it opens up more room for hijinks. I am conflicted on which to do.

Add Hayama early

Keep his introduction normal

The rebels won the Regiment de Cuisine and the Azami administration has been defeated. Now starting their second year, Souma and the rest of the 92nd generation face new challenges and responsibilities. But the scars of Central still run deep and it's up to the new Elite 10 council to find a way to heal them.

​The rebels won the Regiment de Cuisine and the Azami administration has been defeated. Now starting their second year, Souma and the rest of the 92nd generation face new challenges and responsibilities. But the scars of Central still run deep and it's up to the new Elite 10 council to find a way to heal them.

A while back I made a post asking if people would be interesting in any Food Wars fanfics I wrote, so here I am. I wrote this a few years ago and it isn’t my first one, but it’s the only one that’s finished.

"If there are no objections, we shall move on to the next order of business." Erina Nakiri announced.

"I have an objection. Can we just skip the rest of the meeting and go?" Souma Yukihira asked. The other eight people in the room watched and waited for the now trade-marked sigh that Erina was prone to giving whenever the red-haired chef spoke.

"No, Yukihira-kun, we cannot end the meeting early. There is still much work to be done in removing the influence of the Central administration from last year." Erina answered with far more patience than she thought was fair.

"Actually, I agree with Yukihira-chin. Can we just leave? This meeting is boring." Terunori Kuga added.

"See, Kuga-senpai agrees with me."

"That's because you two are practically the same person." Akira Hayama interjected.

"Hey, that's not fair! I'm far handsomer than Yukihira-chin!" Kuga said as if it was obvious.

"But senpai, I'm taller than you." Souma replied with the same nonchalance.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU STUPID LITTLE SHIT!?"

"It's not like he's wrong…" Ryou Kurokiba added.

"WHAT WAS THAT YOU DROOPY EYED BASTARD!?" Kuga continued ranting.

"Ohhh?" Ryou said, beginning to unfurl his bandana.

"Now, now, let's all calm down. Nakiri-chan went to all this trouble to gather us here for our first Elite 10 meeting of the year so we should respect that and listen to what she has to say." New first seat Satoshi Isshiki said to the group. Various grumble of agreement came from everyone.

"Thank you, Isshiki-senpai. Now, as you all know, due to the victory of the former "rebels" in last year's Regiment de Cuisine against Central, Tootsuki has removed Azami Nakamura as director and reinstated Senzaemon Nakiri."

"Here, here!" Souma cheered, causing Erina to flash a quick smirk.

"Furthermore, due to the results of said Regiment de Cuisine, and the fact that the 90th generation graduated last year, the Elite 10's roster has changed. If the rest of the council would agree to it, I'd like to go around and announce our names and ranks as a way of starting off the year and getting to know each other."

"Oh, come one, Nakiri. You just want an excuse to show off that you're on top of me again." Souma complained, causing Erina to blush a rather magnificent shade of red.

"How bold the youth are getting…" Kuga said sagely.

"He meant in the rankings, Kuga." Nene Kinokuni corrected.

"Ah, ah ah. That's Kuga-sama to you." Kuga teased, wagging his finger.

"Don't push your luck." Nene immediately shot back.

"Why not? After all, my luck did get me on top of you, Nene-chin." Kuga said, winking at his classmate.

"J-just in th-the rankings, y-you idiot…" Nene stammered.

"If Kuga-senpai is done being Kuga-senpai, I agree with Nakiri-san's proposal." Takumi said.

"Me too." Megumi seconded.

"Thank you, Takumi-san, Tadokoro-chan. What about you, Mimasaka-san?"

"If it's good with Aldini, I'll agree."

"As do I, so I'll start. Satoshi Isshiki, 1st seat."

"Terunori Kuga, 2nd seat."

"Nene Kinokuni, 3rd seat."

"Erina Nakiri, 4th seat."

"Souma Yukihira, 5th seat… for now!" Souma declared, shooting a challenging glare at Erina.

"Hmph."

"Takumi Aldini, 6th seat, also for now."

"Ryo Kurokiba, 7th seat."

"M-Megumi Tadokoro, 8th seat."

"Akira Hayama, 9th seat."

"Subaru Mimasaka, 10th seat."

"Thank you, everyone. Up next…" Erina began again, listing various regulations that the new Elite 10 would decide on for the year. One of them being that any significant change to the school would have to be approved by all 10 members and then approved by the director.

"So as to not repeat what happened last year." Erina explained, receiving no argument. Other regulations included the re-establishing of research societies, choosing the theme for the Autumn elections this year, the division of paperwork amongst the 10, which members would oversee which events, and the handling of the veritable mountain of shokugeki challenges that the council has received.

"Seriously? It's only been a week since the new year started." Nene said.

"And most of them are from freshman." Ryo said.

"Not really surprising. They weren't affected by Central." Mimasaka replied.

"This actually brings me to my last order of business. The majority of second and third year students still hold some form of trauma over the Azami administration and I'd like to find a way to help them with that. And so, I open the floor to you all. Does anyone have any ideas?" Erina asked.

"A tournament." Ryo stated.

"Doesn't that sound a bit too aggressive at the start of the year, Kurokiba-san?" Megumi asked.

"Well that's what this school is, a battle ground for chefs."

"That may be the problem, in and of itself. The school has always been a place where you can challenge and be challenged at any time, students were always looking over their shoulder because of it. That's actually one of the things we agreed with Azami on, students shouldn't have to be that stressed all the time." Nene offered.

"How thoughtful, Kinokuni-kun." Isshiki said.

"Indeed. Nene-chin really isn't a stoic hag anymore." Kuga teased.

"Die."

"While I choose to ignore the part on agreeing with Azami, Kinokuni-senpai brings up a good point. Stress levels can get rather high, and while this is something all chefs must learn to handle, we're still students."

"How about something like a potluck?" Souma offered.

"Interesting, go on."

"Everyone at this school is here to cook, yeah? Whether it's shokugeki's, elections, the festival, or something else, we're all chefs. What if we took out the stressful part of it? Students just cook a dish or two and eat the others food. No competition, no threats of expulsion, just chefs cooking and exchanging ideas." He explained.

"Souma-kun, that's a wonderful idea!" Megumi exclaimed.

"Indeed, students coming together, sharing and helping each other grow! Such is the springtime of youth!" Isshiki said, suddenly in nothing but a fundoshi.

"What was the time on that, Yukihira-chin?"

"A full nine minutes and 18 seconds since the meeting started." He answered, holding up a stopwatch.

"Dammit!" Takumi cursed, handing Ryo a few bills. Nene made a similar expression as she handed Kuga money as well.

"I can't believe you bet on something like this." Hayama commented.

"You say that, but I bet you're getting some money under the table." Souma said.

"Actually, he's giving it to Tadokoro-san." Mimasaka explained, causing Megumi to blush slightly and Hayama to look sheepish.

"How did you know? You're on the other side of the table." Souma asked.

"Constant observation. It's why my Trace is as good as it is." He explained.

"So Nakiri's got the tongue, Hayama's got the nose, and now Mimasaka's got the eyes. We just need fingers and ears and we'll have the whole set."

"Yukihira-kun, we're getting off topic."

"Which was?"

"Your potluck idea! How can you forget your own idea?!" Erina admonished.

"Hey, I remember the important things."

"Please, you'd forget your own head if it wasn't attached to your neck."

"Wouldn't I be dead then?"

"For the sake of my sanity, can we get back on topic?" Nene asked.

"Yes, thank you, Kinokuni-senpai. Does anyone object or have anything to add to the potluck idea?" Erina asked. She was a little surprised when she saw Hayama raise his hand.

"Yes, Hayama-san?"

"Can we table the potluck for now? The new year just started and I'd like to watch the students for a bit, just to see how they're doing."

"Any particular reason?"

"Call it a hunch."

"Things have been put on hold for less in this council… does anyone oppose to this?" No one raised their hand.

"Then the discussion is tabled until our next meeting. That also concludes this meeting."

"Finally!"

"Souma-kun, it wasn't that bad."

"C'mon, Tadokoro, aren't you itching to get back to the dorm? I have so many new recipes I wanna try out." Souma explained, causing Megumi to tense. The rest of the ten grew very sympathetic towards the 8th seat, knowing that she was usually on the receiving end of whatever mad concoction the red-headed chef would come up with. She still had nightmares over his horseradish and jam curry dish he tried a few months back.

"A-actually, Souma-kun, I just remembered I have to help Local Cuisine R.S get up and running again. Maybe some other time." She fibbed, dashing out of the room.

"Huh, they've been hogging her a lot lately. Oh well, I'll just taste em myself. Later, everyone." Souma announced. Most of the rest of the ten followed suit, leaving just Erina and Nene in the room.

"Is there something you wanted to talk to me about, Kinokuni-senpai?"

"No, I just like to stay here sometimes, clear my head. What about you?"

"I remember, yes. I just needed to gather all these papers before I left, most of them are Yukihira-kun's because he has no semblance of professionalism."

"I can see that."

"If that's all, I'll see you later, Kinokuni-senpai."

"Later then… and… thank you…"

"For what?"

"Letting me stay on the council… giving me this chance…"

"We all agreed you deserved it, and you made the jump to 3rd seat on your own merit."

"Still…" Nene rambled. She had been very careful recently as to not step on any toes. Just last term, she was enemies to everyone on the council and now that she was back, she didn't want to make any wrong moves. After her loss in the Regiment, she'd been shaken to her core. First by Souma's cooking and reasoning behind it. It drove her to look at herself objectively and it gave her some clarity about her own shortcomings. Now she improves on all her cooking, not just her soba, she experiments more, and most of all, she's started to consider the idea of "how the customer will like it" rather than "I made it the right way". Those acts caused her cooking to grow by leaps and bounds. The second reason came at the revelation of what Azami did to Erina. She was horrified at the fact she followed such a man, a regret shared by the rest of the previous Elite 10 to various degrees. They denounced Azami when it all came to light, putting the final nails in his coffin. Since then, she's worked to be better than before.

"We've been over this, Nene-san. You've apologized enough for following that man, and if you're still worried about it, you've earned my forgiveness by helping put Tootsuki back together. Now I'll see you at the next meeting, hopefully in a better mindset?"

"Yeah, you bet." Nene smiled.

As Erina left, she took out her phone and was met with a plethora of message's, some from Hisako about various appointments and updates, some from Alice about complaints and generally Alice being Alice, and the rest from her friends.

"Yo, Nakiri." Erina almost dropped her phone due to the surprise.

"Yukihira-kun! Don't do that, what are you even doing here?"

"Sorry about that, I was just waiting for you."

"Why?"

"Wanted to walk back with you. Figured I wouldn't see you as much when you move back into your mansion." Souma explained.

"Yukihira-kun, the dorm is over three kilometres away, I wasn't going to walk that far." Erina explained, pointing to the car waiting for her.

"Oh, well I'll ride back with you then." He said, getting into the back seat.

"No, wait- fine, whatever." Erina sighed, resigning herself to her classmate's actions and sitting next to him.

"Yukihira-kun?"

"Yeah?"

"If you're riding with me, which I still didn't agree to, how did you get to the meeting?"

"I biked."

"And you just left it there?"

"I have my moped at the dorm."

"You know you have access to various cars and limo's now that you're part of the elite 10, right?"

"Yeah, but all that's too fancy for my taste."

"Says the man who's first action when he got into the council was to commission a pool for the dorm."

"Hey, it gets hot in the summer and that blow up kiddie pool just doesn't cut it."

"And the hot-tub?"

"Ok, you might've gotten me there." Souma said, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.

"Honestly, you are too much." She said. Feeling her phone buzz, she answered.

"That Hisako?"

"Yes, just some updates on paperwork and appointments. Speaking of which, you left these back at the meeting." She said, giving him the stack of papers.

"Aww, man. These aren't forms, they're shokugeki challenges, most of them anyway."

"All those? There has to be at least 50."

"It gets worse, all these are from Eizan-senpai. The rest are also from him, but those are just letters about how much he hates me."

"Eizan-senpai? Haven't you already had three shokugeki's with him?"

"Mhmm, he always asks for the same three things: my seat, my expulsion, or my death."

"Your death?!"

"Well, I'm actually not too sure about that, when he asks that he just puts on a weird face and says 'DIE'. A lot like what Kinokuni-senpai does to Kuga-senpai."

"That man… what do you get when you win?"

"First time he gave me financial advice, second was he had to dye his hair purple-" he was interrupted by Erina laughing.

"That's why he looks like that? Why would you make him do that?"

"Because it's hilarious." He smirked.

"And the Hello Kitty glasses?" she asked, causing his smirk to grow.

"Yup."

"Wonderful, Yukihira-kun. What will you do about the rest of his challenges?"

"I'll answer one and when I win, I'll have him leave me alone for a while. As much as I love shokugeki's, he's too much."

"You're very confident, Yukihira-kun. What if he wins and you get expelled?" Erina asked jokingly. She was expecting a cocky comeback of sorts so she was confused when all she heard was him sigh. She looked over to see him staring out the window, head propped up against his fist. It was then did she realize that he didn't have his trademarked headband wrapped around his wrist.

"Then… I guess I'll leave Tootsuki."

So hypothetically, if I wrote SnS fic (or fic in general) would anyone be interested in reading it?

[incorrectshokugeki]

Akira: Have I done something to you?

Hisako: I swear I was just thinking the exact same thing, I have no idea why I’m being mean to you.

Akira: Now that you know that, do you think you’ll stop?

Hisako: That’s the thing, it doesn’t feel like it. I’m just being honest.

Akira: Can’t ask for more than that... except for rational thought.

Hisako: What was that?!

Akira: Nothing.

This post from @incorrectshokugeki is too perfect for RyoAli, so I decided to doodle it.

[incorrectshokugeki]

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! I love it and you @j3nnt!! Thank you so much!!!

[incorrectshokugeki]

Akira: You're going to help me?

Jun: Why wouldn't I help you?

Akira: Because of what I did, I-

Jun: You betrayed me. You betrayed our trust, you betrayed our friendship, you betrayed everything that I’ve ever stood for. You let me down!

Akira: Then why are you helping me?

Jun: Why? Do you think I care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference?

[incorrectshokugeki]

Azami: Do you remember me telling you we are practicing the approved French techniques, Yukihira?

Souma: Yes.

Azami: Yes, "sir."

Souma: There's no need to call me "sir" Director.

[incorrectshokugeki]

Yuki: Can I ask you a personal question?

Erina: No!

Yuki: Can I anyway?

Erina:... Yes.

[incorrectshokugeki]

Alice: Ryou-kun, do you think I'm smart?

Ryou: Oh, is that what we're gonna do today? We're gonna fight?

[incorrectshokugeki]

Can you do ship headcanons? maybe ryou x akira if you're comfortable with it? thanks!

Sure!

- They compete over everything. And I do mean everything, not just food. Shouting matches about who’s hair is better are common in the Ryou-Akira household.

-Akira tried on Ryou’s bandanna once and felt nothing but unbridled rage the whole time. He hasn’t worn it since.

-Ryou thought it was hot when Akira wore his bandanna and keeps trying to make him ware it more.

-Alice spoils them constantly. Ryou’s gotten used to it but Akira is always awkward about it.

-They officially got together in their third year after a shokugeki where they had the same conditions: loser had to go out with the winner. Alice took the credit on getting them together since she gave them both the idea for the win condition.

-Ryou’s favorite physical thing about Akira are his eyes, especially when Akira gets angry. 

Akira’s favorite physical thing about Ryou are his abs. Akira is thirsty and not ashamed of it.

-They love holding each others hand. Akira likes rubbing his thumb over the little cuts and nicks Ryou’s gotten over the years. Ryou loves that his hands smell faintly of spice afterwards. 

-Whenever Ryou is nervous, Akira gives him some special cinnamon sticks he keeps to help calm him down. Ryou returns the favor by wrapping his bandanna around Akira’s arm.  

-They eventually open a little pub together in London that becomes wildly successful. They chose London because Ryou loves the rain and Akira loves whatever Ryou loves. He’ll never say so to anyone other than Ryou.
