Traditions - Moon Boys x Mexican!Reader
Warnings: pure fluff, self indulgent
*******
You were in the kitchen, it was currently 11 am and you were making tamales. It was a tradition with your family, tamale season begins every winter this year was no different especially since you had a very eager helper.
“Love, could you show me one more time how you do it?” Steven asks from his seat on the island.
“Of course mi vida,” you smile after you finish off the tamale you were wrapping, “you grab some masa,” you demonstrate as he watches intently, “and you smear it evenly on the husk, and then you grab your meat, in your case the vegan meat. You put it on the masa and then fold over one side, and finally the other. And done, you’ve made your first tamale,”
‘Just give me the body hermano, I can make them faster than you’ Jake says from the head space, causing Steven to roll his eyes and huff.
‘You didn’t want to wake up early and go with her to get the ingredients’ Marc replies.
You raise your eyebrow from your side of the counter, make the pina tamales, “what? Who said something?”
“Just Jake being a wanker, he said I should let him front since he can make them faster,” Steven says finishing his second vegan tamale, following your directions.
“He didn’t want to wake up early to help me get the ingredients, so he doesn’t get to make them, you do because you came this morning,” you say smiling, “the only reason Marc didn’t front this morning is because he promised to help me pack them up and take some to Layla later,”
‘Told ya,’ Marc smirks.
“Come on let's take a break, I wanna make some burritos with our fillings. Grab me the tortillas,” you say, going to the stove to turn it on.
“Oh mi corazon you look so beautiful when you make those tamales,” Jake says, kissing your neck while he passes you the tortillas, “I just had to taste your recipe when you said you were gonna eat some of the meat,”
Smirking, you put the tortilla on the open flame, “Is that right?”
‘I always love watching her head them like that’ Steven says from the head space this time.
‘She always makes the most mundane things look beautiful’ Marc gushes.
You dip a clean fork into the meat and bring it up to Jake’s lips, you watch as he chews, his face lighting up as he swallows.
“So?” You ask nervously as you wait for his response
“It’s incredible! So delicious and the spice is perfect!” He responds by going in to make himself a burrito.
“Jake, go to try the meat but this is my burrito! The wetter the better,” you hear Marc say as you turn towards Steven’s filling making him a burrito. You smile to yourself as you enjoy your boyfriends enjoying your food and your family traditions

A/n: ok so ima try something different with my authors notes, put them at the bottom instead. But this was very self indulgent and since they are cannon Jewish, I made it a winter thing instead of Christmas, I hope you all like it
