Suguru Geto likes to teach you how to cook. It all started with genuine concern for your health when he discovered you lived on microwave meals and it turned into something of a pleasure for him as time went on. He started simply, teaching when to use oil instead of butter, how to tell when rice is cooked through, and which spices and herbs add the best flavor.

He liked to hold the wooden spoon close to his face after it cooled a little. At first you would hesitate, testing the temperature with your lips before putting the food in your mouth, letting out a noise as soon as the flavor settled. He liked to keep his hands in yours whenever you cut green onions, tomatoes, or carrots, and he showed you how to use your fingers to measure where to cut.

You read the steps to him, sitting at the counter while he washed, prepared and measured the ingredients, you shook your legs a little and Suguru had difficulty concentrating.

When he connects his love for you to his love for food, he realizes that he needs you as much as he needs to eat, he hungers for you like a starving man every time you get close enough for him to get to you.

When you gift him a “Kiss the Cook” apron for his birthday, he can't help but smile and uses it as an excuse to be around you more often, hoping you'll do so.

Once you've become more comfortable, you've gotten into the habit of being a little more hands-on with your help. Tying the apron drove him crazy, you were always much closer than anyone would consider necessary, pressing yourself into his back while tying a small bow.

"Thank you, beautiful."
