Caleeeb! I haven't seen you in a few days :(, you promised you'd send me your braised chicken recipe and I'm still waiting! I waaas gonna call you over to share some homemade pizza...buuut I don't think you deserve it!

[Voice Message Received: 8:48PM]

Pipsqueeeaaak :'( i love your pizza. I could have sworn on your grievance notebook that I sent it to you! I'll send it right now so I don't forget. Get a pen and paper and listen closely alriiiight?

24 chicken wings (make sure to get rid of the tip of the wing!)

1 to 2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine

2 teaspoons chopped ginger

2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

1 spring onion slicey dicey

1/2 cup chicken stock or water

oil for deep-frying

So in a large bowl mix the sugar, soy sauce, and rice wine. Then ya add chicken wings to the sauce and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight. Don't forget this step pips!

Fill wok one-quarter full of oil and heat up the oil until temp reaches 180c . You can cook the chicken in batches if you want until they're nice and golden.

Take them out of the wok and let them drain on a paper towel. If you don’t have another wok, use a deep sided frying pan ok?

Then you add one tablespoon of oil and heat over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the ginger until it smells really good. Add hoisin sauce, extra marinade, and chicken wings and cook for one minute then add chicken stock or water.

Bring it to boil then reduce the heat, cover and gently cook for 8 to 10 minutes.

And that's about it pips! T_T can I still have pizza? Pleaseeeee? I looooooove youuuuuuuuuuu

can i ask for a scenario where caleb found out the mc had a panic attack but tried to downplay it 🥺

You’re pacing. Your hands won’t stay still, and your fingers fidget as they pull at your sleeves. You can feel your breath become even more shallow as if someone has turned down the oxygen in the room. You decide to sit to try to calm down, but it's not working. You don't want to worry, Caleb, so you try to do some breathing. It only makes your chest tighten more.

“I’m fine,” you say quickly, before Caleb even asks. “J-just tired. I had a long day today.”

Caleb stops mid-walk to look at you. For a moment, he doesn't say anything then starts to come closer.

“…Pipsqueak.”

You've always hated how perceptive he's always been with you. He knows every expression, every movement of your body that seems out of the ordinary. You shake your head, forcing a small laugh. “Seriously, it’s nothing. I just need a... s-second.” You try to brush it off smoothly, but your voice wavers on the last word.

“Hey... Are you sure everything's ok?"

“I’m okay,” you insist, but you don’t sound very convincing even to yourself.

Caleb steps closer anyway. He tries not to crowd you, he comes just close enough that you can feel him there.

“You know you don’t have to pretend with me,” he says quietly.

Your breath hitches, sharp and uneven, and you look away.

“I’m not—” you start, but it breaks halfway through.

He exhales softly, like he’s already made up his mind.

“Alright. We’re not calling it anything. But here's what we're gonna do."

He reaches out slowly, giving you time to pull back, but when you don’t, his hands settle lightly over yours.

“Match me, okay pips?” He takes a slow breath in. Another breath, steady and slow.

“In… and out.”

Your chest stutters, trying to match his but you try to focus on his voice to ground you.

“That’s it,” he murmurs. “You don’t have to talk. Just stay with me, pipsqueak.”

His thumbs brush over your knuckles in a small, repetitive circular motions.

“I’ve got you, Pips.”

Your breathing starts to falter again, your body shakes in tremors,so he adjusts to you, lowering his voice in a gentle cadence.

“Hey, look at me. You’re safe.”

Another slow inhale.

“I’m right here.”

He stays with you until you're calm and grounded again, holding you against his chest, stroking your hair and kissing the top of your head.
