okay but i feel like jonathan is objectively a good cook but doesn't really like cooking, he's been heating meals up for his mom after a late shift since he was in fifth grade and has cooked more meals for the family than he cares to think about, sometimes getting creative with what little they have in the cupboards and sharing a tired smile with his mom when will complains that the mac doesn't have enough cheese in it. but then they move to cali and ARGYLE rolls into his life in a pizza delivery van and is like, hey, dude, you have GOT to try this pineapple on pizza shit jonathan and so he reluctantly goes along with it and actually kind of loves it, especially after a smoke and soon the two of them are creating all kinds of weird and elaborate snacks for after a session and trying to one up each other every time, until one day argyle swings by after class and jonathan is cooking a proper dinner, and he's like, hey man, you didn't tell me you could cook in a genuinely impressed tone and then launches into this whole explanation of his grandmother teaching him how to make tamales before she passed and how he cooked every meal for a year at home because his mom worked nights and his dad came and went but hey that's what got him the job at surfer boy, and maybe he's just baked but he says it so happily, without any shame or bitterness and jonathan is like, damn, cooking is an act of love and also this man is everything
