Othello doesn’t spend too much on lunch. He would rather be doing work, or just ‘slack off’. When you see him eat lunch, he looks very disinterested in it. Othello takes small quick bites, he looks like he wants it to end.
Othello takes lunch time more as a break, he likes to sit down and just rest. He doesn’t want to think of his work doing this time, he just wants to think of other things. He talks to the other reapers but he tries not to speak about work.
One thing you do know about Othello is that he really enjoys aromatic foods. You want to make Othello food that he will enjoy smelling more than eating.
During the process, you experimented a lot with herbs and spices. You don’t want Othello to burn his mouth with spices. You don’t know if he can handle spice that well, but you want it to make it a little spicy. So a lot of it became trial and error.
After trying to perfect a perfect lunch for Othello, you made him a Japanese inspired bone broth soup. The soup has sesame oil, Chinese peppercorn, chives, ginger... since the soup is light, you wanted to add some protein in it. You didn’t want to put meat in it, so you put some mushrooms in it!
For dessert, you made Othello a fluffy lemon pudding. It’s in a shape of a square, and meant to be kind of eaten like a cake. Of course, the pudding smells like lemon but you also decide to put some orange and lime zest in it. You wanted to enhance the flavor of it.
You caught Othello walking to the break-room, muttering to himself about what he should do for lunch. Your lucky day, he didn’t pack anything! You ran up next to him to catch his attention.
Othello looks at you with mild tired eyes, but intrigue. He’s always glad to see you! When he looks at what you have in your hands, he scratches the back of his neck with a small smile. A chuckle escapes his lips as he continues to chuckle more.
“You made lunch for me? I’m kind of shocked, but very flattered.” Othello smiles as he carefully takes the lunch from you, “You have lunch too, right?”
You nod and have lunch with Othello. Othello and you talk about some events that will be happening soon, and he’s curious about your job.
For a thank you, he leaves you a small thank you not for you on your desk. Later on at work, you somehow get to leave early with Othello. He asked Grelle to pull some strings for him.
Othello takes you out for dinner! You did not expect this, but Othello says it’s the right thing to do.
Undertaker is kind of a wild card on lunch too. Have you really seen him eat a meal before? He’s always snacking but eating? Well, this is going to be kind of hard.
When you see him eat, it’s always biscuits, cookies, or some sort of cracker. You’ve seen him eat flatbreads before, but that’s only on ‘special occasions’ (according to his words).
On other occasions, you’ve seen him eat condiments by itself or on bread. You don’t know how he’s getting proper nutrition from it.
Knowing this, you don’t to make him step out of his comfort box too much. Besides, you don’t know too much about what he even likes. Bread and condiments, what to do?
You are determined to make something for him. However, you don’t know what you can make. So, you decide on something that seems quick and easy, but ends up taking a lot of your time the night before hand.
You made Undertaker 12 different types of mini sandwiches. You don’t want to disappoint him (or yourself), so you made a bunch mini sandwiches. French, German, Russian? You took inspiration everywhere. You made sure to put your heart and soul into these things.
For dessert? Somehow, this was less stress for you. You’ve seen him eat jam, marmite, and Vegemite. You went with something ‘simple’. You made him cake with a sweet strawberry jam instead of frosting.
You’re starting to feel the strain on your back from carrying the entire reaper office with your food.
Undertaker was coming back from the field. You spot him but were taken back, he looks a bit disgruntled but you decided that it’s better to give him his food now than never. You walk up to him with a gentle smile.
He turns to you as he pushes his glasses up, he looks down at your hands. He doesn’t really say much, then it clicks. He nods a little and smiles. Undertaker lets out a small chuckle and pats your head.
“You made this all for me? I’m quite shocked, but thank you, (y/n).”
He takes the food and pats your head one more time. You eat lunch without him, which makes you a little sad but... he still took it!
The next day, when you’re going to go to the break room, the Undertaker stops you. He gives you a small bag filled with cookies he made for you. He excuses himself then leaves.
Inside you find a thank you note that you still hold onto to this day.
