[ everything smells really good and that's what gets hinata up and out of bed. it's roughly nine in the morning on a saturday, and he needs to get up and go for a run, but hinata's suddenly focused on one more thing: following his nose. the karasuno middle blocker sniffs at the air and slides out of bed, starting to walk down the stairs with his eyes half closed and his head tilted up, and that's when he sees the spread of what can only be one thing-- ]
--Breakfast!! [ immediately brightening, hinata goes from zero to energetic in four seconds, scurrying over to the stove. is that tamago kake gohan?! invisible tail practically wagging, hinata goes to scoop himself a serving, licking his lips delightedly. he's nothing if not polite as he turns around. ] Kazuki, you're the best! How'd you know it was m..y...
[ Most people panic when they wake up somewhere strange, somewhere that is very much not the place they previously fell asleep in. Souma is, admittedly, concerned and kind of worried. But he actually sees the envelope and pamphlet, so he knows what's going on even if he doesn't know, exactly, why it is. His solution?
Wait to see someone downstairs so that maybe they can answer questions. But there isn't anyone, and it's early in the morning, so he decides to make breakfast. It'd be a nice gesture, right? He figures he'll make the usual staples of breakfast, both Japanese and American because the names are very Japanese but the house looks American. The tamago kake gohan is very light and simple, so he adds a light Yukihira twist to it and makes enough for a handful of servings before putting it on the stove with flavorful miso soup to keep it warm.
He's in the middle of flipping a pancake in the skillet when someone bounces up next to him like a puppy, and he blinks when they make eye contact. But Souma just catches the pancake with ease and grins. ] Nope! I'm Souma! Help yourself, and let me know if you've got any requests.
[ THERE IS A RANDOM PERSON IN HIS HOUSE. you'd think hinata would be used to this, considering natsuki had appeared one day too, but it's been just him and kazuki and natsuki since bokuto left so suddenly having people here is weird. clutching his heart like a maiden, he steps back for a second and stares at the guy. should he be afraid?? ready to beat him up for home invasion??
Uohh--hey, wait, did you just wake up here? Are you my new brother?! [ cue the bright sparkly eyes, as he looks from his delicious fluffy egg rice to souma. ] I'm Hinata Shouyou!!! You made all this?! This is awesome!!
[ Where's this guy's survival instincts? Who knows, Souma sure doesn't act like he's got any. Then again the Polar Star Dorm was full of some pretty crazy people, so some orange haired kid coming out of nowhere to get food is like. The least strangest thing that's happened to him since he started going to Totsuki. Random people eating his food is probably better than living with a nudist, so.
He just grins big at the questions and introduction, shimmying the skillet before he deposits the finished pancake on a stack of its brethren. ] Yep, and I think yep! [ Master of multitasking: this guy. Gonna start another pancake while they talk. ] I'm Yukihira Souma - I wasn't sure when anyone would be awake, or what you guys would want, so I just went ahead and made some of the usuals for breakfast with what's lying around.
It's nice to meet you!! [ hinata is literally 100% unconcerned by this stranger in the house. seriously, note to future robbers: just ply hinata with food, he's like a dog that way. he watches the pancake fall onto the stack with wide eyes, and returns to his rice, shoveling it in his mouth much like a starving lion would jump on a baby antelope. ]
You jutht got here, itth--Holly Heights! Is where you are!! [ ...at least he swallowed. ] There's two other people who live here too--you must be my age, right?! What year are you in!?
You too! [ Souma could produce the envelope with all the things that he's assuming are supposed to help him with integrating here but since Hinata is so unconcerned and more interested in stuffing his face, he's going to be just as unconcerned about it. Especially since he has more pancakes to make.
At least he can understand people who talk with their mouths full by this point. ] I'm a first year! I just transferred in to a culinary school that has junior high and high school programs this year.
Uohh, me too!! Awesome, awesome!! So, now you're here and we're brothers! Sorta. Kinda? It's more like roommates, I guess.
[ ... ] But you're the same age as me!! [ hinata brightens even more, practically sparkling a little, looking absolutely delighted. ] What's culinary school??
[ as he's stuffing his face with this guy's delicious food... come on, hinata. ]
I've never had either before! Or a sister. I'm an only kid, and I live in a dorm at school but we all have our own rooms instead of sharing.
[ They don't... really look the same age? Souma thinks Hinata looks a lot younger, but he doesn't say it mostly because he gets distracted by the question.
It makes him blink, before he laughs. ] It's cooking school! There's normal classes too, I guess, but most of it is for food.
i'll be there in just a minute! i think we need to, um air out the house anyway
[ and sure enough, haruichi will be scooting the hell out of his smoky house to go down to 1493. there's a little knock on the door, and when souma opens it, getting an actual look at haruichi will make it very clear that he is related to the pink haired flame menace on the network.
[ Souma could reply to that, but he just waits, cleaning up the kitchen and checking to see if anybody's going to need it in the next couple of hours. Shouyou is hanging out with his volleyball friends, and the dads seem just fine - one of them is banned, anyways - so he goes about his merry business until he has to answer the door.
Seeing Haruichi face-to-face does connect the dots, though, and he visibly blinks. ]
Ohhh, you're related to the guy who set the kitchen on fire with the other dude! [ Yeah you'd better come in. ]
[ haruichi's shoulders slump a little with the recognition, and he nods. ] My big brother, and the other one is my senpai. It's a little desperate...
[ if you can't tell. nodding his thanks, haruichi steps inside from the cold and goes to toe his shoes off, politely saying a 'thanks for having me', as some habits die hard.
do you have a volleyball net in your living room? wtf ]
[ Souma just pats him on the shoulder as he closes the door, heading through the living room is there a volleyball net? he never noticed and towards the kitchen with purpose. Cooking is Serious, especially when you live with people who set it on fire... ]
It's okay! I'm pretty good with desperate situations, they're kind of a specialty. [ He grabs up an apron, tying it around his waist expertly before getting another and adjusting the sizing. ] You already know how to cook a bit, right? What kinda stuff have you done?
Um, only the very basics! I can make omurice, and a couple of other really easy things... [ haruichi scratches the back of his neck, a little embarrassed, his cheeks flushing with it. he curiously follows souma into the kitchen, though, looking over his shoulder as if he was expecting some kind of cook's paradise... ]
I live in a dorm back home, where they feed us breakfast and dinner, so I'm used to cafeteria food, and my mother's an amazing cook. I've never had to do it for myself before...
ACTIONNNN
