reality won't hurt for longer than it should

Who: Riku and Lea
When: January 4th
Where: Casa de Bro
What: Some awkward misunderstandings.
Warnings: Cavities.

There was a reason Riku didn't like making anything with onions.

They made his eyes water like nothing else ever could. No matter what type of onion--white, red, pearl, even shallots--would make him start crying and he would always get frustrated, ending up with a few wads of paper towel next to him as he tried to get through the five onions the soup he was making needed. He coughed into his elbow, putting the knife down and blindly reaching for a new paper towel, turning away from his cutting board and pressing the paper to his eyes beneath his glasses. He knew his eyes were probably red and slightly puffy by now.

At least Sora wasn't here. His best friend would probably laugh at him, and he was only two onions down.

With a sigh, he slid the onions into the pot and took a breather, thankful there were no pups around to distract him. He might cut off a finger at this rate.

"Maybe you could let me get some rest and make those sometime," he teased. "Or at least try to replicate it."

--he had to remember not to shake his head or nod it while Lea was at this proximity. After a moment, he went back to the topic at hand, raising the blade and talking, then pausing to follow his own instructions. "You take off the top and the bottom, like this--and cut it in half. On an onion, there're these grooves. They're in a circular pattern, so you can use that to cut them into slices."

With one quick slice, he set down the knife and showed the thin strips of onion up to Lea, though his eyes were already starting to water.
