[Sakusa had been open to cooking, just because it was with Ushijima. Most people weren't careful enough to rinse every speck of dirt off their own food, some not even knowing that rinsing the ingredients was an essential task. Sakusa nods approvingly of Ushijima's work, satisfied that he doesn't have to wrangle the vegetables out of Ushijima's hands and rinse them himself. Yet another reason Sakusa desired this man so.
Turning to his own task, he begins to assemble the measuring bowls and spoons.]
Okay, salt. How much?
[It's a simple question, so when there's no response, Sakusa casts a suspicious look to his boyfriend, and finally takes notice that.......the lemon is all ruined!]
Ugh, that needs to be redone. Here, give it to me.
[There are more important things than Ushijima's wide eyes or tightly-held fist. Namely, there are seeds in the bowl, and Sakusa knows for a fact that won't do. He disposes of the seeds and juice separately, and makes quick work of squeezing one of the spare lemons he brought into the bowl properly. Sakusa hands the bowl back, only to see that Ushijima's still staring. Sakusa's face remains neutral, eyebrows tilting into a confused pout instead of their usual glare.]
