I should've made it clearer, but it is only 7 pm. You haven't been out for a whole day and night.
You would make it up to Ederica tomorrow. Tomorrow you would get up early and make the greatest breakfast this side of the universe.
You take a quick shower before heading off to sleep.
You snuggle up beside Ederica and pull the sheets over the two of you. If you could only go to sleep beside Ederica every night…
You wake up to the sound of Ederica snoring. Thankfully it was nearly 5 when she got you up.
Seeing that you were awake before her you got yourself up to get everything prepared to surprise her.
You search her fridge and pantry, but for what you had planned it wasn't going to be enough. You get the clothes that you quickly lost yesterday and put them on. You needed to go to the supermarket.
You watched mamano carefully as you walked down the street. It was the day after the full moon, but you could never be too careful. Mamano were always on the lookout regardless of the moon.
At the store you didn't spare a cent. Bacon, sausages, flour, you got everything you would needed and with thorough discrimination.
You pulled out a carton of eggs and looked inside. A medusa in uniform was working in the same aisle, "Are these eggs fresh?"
"The eggs are very fresh," her snake hair nods in agreeance.
"Is that so…" you point at the eggs and bring them close to her face, "You call these fresh. What a disgrace!"
"We don't have any-"
"I bet these aren't even the eggs you say they are. For all I know, these could be your eggs," you stare at her accusingly.
"Ok, ok," she says taken aback, "I will get you the freshest eggs in the store."
As she slithered away you smiled smugly. There would be nothing that would stand in the way of this breakfast.
You had everything laid out before you in Ederica's kitchen. Everything you had bought was now ready to be transformed.
You channel your energy into the breakfast you were about to cook, nothing short of perfection was going to come out of the kitchen.
You go to grab the flour to begin and you hear a voice in your head, "…Pour two cups of…" It was the voice of cooking, and it would guide you to brilliance.
Bacon, hash browns, eggs, breakfast; easy.
It was like magic was running through your fingers. Not that you would know what that felt like, but you were certain this was how Ederica felt when using it.
It smelled like magic. A waft of air hit your nose and you could feel yourself drooling when you weren't even done. It was strong enough to make the dead rise.
You hear a moan from the other room. Ederica came lumbering out drawn by the smell of the food, "What smells that good?"
You finish laying out the pastries you made from nothing. The sight before you was one to behold. It made your eyes water.
"Wow," Ederica takes everything in, "You did all this?" She looks at everything and is genuinely moved by what you've done. She sits down at the table, "This looks amazing." She grabs a hash brown and takes a bite.
Her eyes snap open. "Mmmmm," she moans as she swallows.
You don't think you've ever seen anyone react to food the way she was. Well, at least not in real life, Zipangu cartoons and 'When Harry met Sailias' didn't count for much.
Ederica pants heavily as she downs a sausage, "This is so good."
You decide to take a bite for yourself; you were starving from yesterday.
You are snapped into sobriety. Did you actually make this?
The door bursts open and you get ready to jump up onto the table by instinct.
You turn around to find that the perpetrator was not a potential rapist but a man.
He walks straight past the naked Ederica and goes straight for the food, "These pancakes smell incredible."
Who the hell is this guy? Those are your pancakes.
Ederica notices the way you glare at him, "Anon, this is Dorgon Samray."
"Who?"
The stranger turns to offer you a deal, "I will pay you 50,000 dollars if you allow me to use this recipe in my restaurants."
50,000? Surely this had to be some joke. But the guy clearly wasn't joking and you actually had no idea how you made those pancakes.
You couldn't think of anything, everything was drawing a blank.
"I'm sorry but the recipe is not for sale. These pancakes are purely dedicated to my love, Ederica."
He claps his hands together, "I will make it easier: 100,000."
Holy shota on a stick this was painful, if only you could remember the recipe… "I'm sorry. The recipe is priceless."
"Knowing that a work of art like this exists is enough. I will find how to make the perfect pancakes."
He makes an exit almost as abruptly as he arrived.
You didn't know what just happened, but after making this breakfast you didn't even want to question it.
