(Can be any POV or an if or whatever, I was bored so I make this!)

While you guys were cooking, okay... we know Maiko and Shinku were squashing tomatoes. Taka was telling them to say something that made them angry and stuff like that. Maiko actually did it, and Shinku at first... well, it was a slow process, and when he mentioned Ezekiel, he squashed everything, and Taka and Maiko were surprised. Uh... okay! A few minutes later. They went to where the pot was, where the pasta was. Maiko and Shinku (and maybe someone else if you get around to it) looked at Taka. Taka was supposed to... why would she grab the pasta from a pot that was way too hot? Oh heavens.

Taka: Right! I think the pasta should be done... This should be our final step! .... Taka: ...Ugh... I hate this part. Let me handle this.

Taka rolled up the sleves and-

Maiko and Shinku (and of course, anyone else who happens to be there) were so surprised. When Taka put his hand completely into the pot to grab the pasta, HE LET OUT A TREMENDOUS SCREAM. ALL THAT SALIVA WAS STREAMING OUT OF HIS HAND (IT WAS SO LONG AND SOFT, MAN, IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S SPITTING WATER).

Taka: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Plunged his hand directly into the boiling bubbling water to grab the pasta directly out in one big handful

Maiko: OHMyGOSHWHaT- What are you doing!? STOP!

Shinku: Taka-! Jesus- stop!

And...finally, Taka managed to get all that pasta out of the pot. He had all that pasta in his hand, smiling, while he stood there as if he were drooling .and a few tears came out because of the burn (I think)

Taka: ....Huff... Huff... Don't worry guys, I got it.

He dumped the pasta onto the plate, a dumb grin on his face despite the tears in his eyes

Maiko: your hand-! Oh my gosh-! Come here-!

Maiko grabbed Taka's hand and ran it under cold water as quickly as she could, clearly panicking

Taka: Haha... Don't you worry, it's just a regular part of cooking- you can't make a good dish without a healthy side-portion of pain!

Taka: A nicely cooked pasta is worth it... Although I wish there was an easier way to do it.

Shinku: ...you could- use a strainer to separate the pasta from the boiling water?

Taka: ....

Taka's eye seemed to twitch a little bit

Taka: ...How. How did I never think of that?

Maiko: uhm... Taka, I don't wanna to be rude or... Or doubt you or anything here, but-

Maiko: Do you actually know how to cook..?

Taka: .... Noooooooooooo.... I just thought I could probably figure it out, I have hosted a bunch if cooking shows and that's Basically the same thing as cooking myself!

Shinku: sighed ....Taka...

Taka: and I was right! Our spaghetti is finished, Bon appetite!
