Happy New Year from Lemon Lime Anon! Since we’re both Jade likers, would it be ok to request a reader going on a shopping trip with Jade to grab ingredients for dinner? Unbeknownst to reader, Jade is plotting dinner for both of them, so he bring reader along to get a feel for what he likes! Starts out platonic, but could end up romantic? Whatever you’re comfy with!! :D
I can do this for you my favorite and precious citrus based Anon, and I'm very sorry this turned into a late Valentine's Day request because of my timing and lack of writing... (^~^;)ゞ

Warning(s): Fluff & Romance | Fujoshi's DNI | Fem Aligned Individuals can read if they have a Masc MC/Yuu. | Silent Readers & Blank Blogs DNI
Timeline: Ambiguous timeline of present or future canon). Relationships in this are positive, so perhaps it's almost event-like?
Oh, Jade is the eel with a plan at most to all given moments. Most of the time is when dealing with his fellow students, preparing for tests, and predicting when his mother will end up calling him during the day based on holidays. His instincts are sharpening with Azul as his "boss" and Floyd being at his side, and he is quite sure it'll only get more intense as he knows Azul is looking into expanding the kitchen and tables...
He's extremely displeased when he thinks on what he wants and what he's expecting of his own relationships when Azul asks him to reflect on the last year. Sure, it definitely wasn't what Azul meant to reflect on, but Jade has done all his paperwork and had time to think to himself.
He is displeased with himself when he realizes: he is without your hand in his and he actually finds that... devastating. The thought came when he felt the bitterness in his chest and he put a word to it. The realization that he's actually quite lonely without you goes unsaid to everyone but himself, and he plans.
Oh, he plans. And he makes them as well as he always do...
Weeks. It takes him weeks一maybe a little over two一to ask you to join him for a shopping spree and perhaps stay to cook with him. Floyd and Azul need to be fed after all, and Jade would greatly appreciate the company. His smile after you agree is sweet, if not a bit toothier then his fake smiles.
His first step was taking you out into the many cities he's studied about that sell great foods at lower prices, without really sacrificing quality. The city is great and it's off in the mainland, so the breaks for schools all over the world led to the streets being filled with people and noise. Laughter from groups of kids, haggling vendors, men yelling about their stocks, and it all just blends into the background as Jade takes you ingredient shopping.
It was a good haul you both got, especially with Jade's eye for quality in vegetation, and heading back to campus was a quick call to Floyd... and then a call to Azul because Floyd sent him to voicemail, away. Back onto campus was nice and refreshing, and you head with him to the Octavinelle kitchen to help him cook.
Step two: making sure Azul and Floyd, and some extra staff, are ready to do the decorating while he distracts you. And as you both pass his twin and friend, he gives them a specific signal to send them off when you both disappear. And you both walk to the back.
Cooking is easy to Jade and he puts on gloves (food safety first) as he sets you into peeling anything that needs peeling. Anything that needs to be chopped you already know about, and he watches you in utter glee. Yes, he may have burnt one side of his salmon for his plate, but he will gladly take it as you both have a good laugh at his expense.
The talks you two have are as animated as always, and your an upstanding man as you take your licks from his dry humor just like he takes his own. He takes the gloves off, takes the plates in hand, and makes a gesture towards the main dining area...
"Come with me," Jade says as you look inquisitive at him, "We have a dinner to eat."
Coming into the main area, Jade feels like everything is coming together. Yes, the gentleman's club aesthetic is nice and already high quality for a potential date, but it's something you see every day you walk in. The couches quality eventually escape you, and the dishes aren't as fancy as they once were.
But not tonight. Not on Jade's watch and not on Azul's pride.
The area near the couches is pushed back, and it was replaced by a high table and cushioned chair not dissimilar to the one's near the bar. Jade can recognize they are Azul's prototypes for next year, and smiles as the red drapes on the table glow almost maroon in the deep blue of the aquarium light. The candles are intricate, and a carbonated fancy spritzer is awaiting on the table.
Floyd is nearby, probably because he just didn't want to leave like Azul or the other staff, and Jade can hear how happy and cocky the other sounds. "Ah~! There they are, the happy couple of the hour一!"
You seem taken aback and Jade's grip on the plates tightens as Floyd takes notice that the mood has shifted.
"Whaaa? You didn't ask him out yet, Jade? You guys were taking so long I almost fell asleep!" Floyd continues, as Jade just allows it. The damage has already been done.
Setting the table, Jade sits you both down carefully as the candles barely flicker orange across your drinking glasses. Your eyes have long since been one cleared of confusion about what Floyd was saying, and you looked into Jade with much... anticipation? Jade liked to think that, at the time.
"Jade Leech... did you really set up a whole venue to ask me out?" You sounded not the slightest bit amazed, but more elated then he expected. "And there I was, trying not to hold your hand in the market. I was going to claim it was so we didn't get lost..."
Your relationship together was never one of holding back. Jade was not exactly attracted to people who couldn't hold their own or bounce back from thing's, and he's always liked that you don't sit there stunned for so long you've made it awkward. That'd be unbearable, especially with Floyd looming in the kitchen in-case of emergencies.
Jade smiles back, and he answers honestly. "You'd have ruined the surprise by scrapping my plan at Step Two, and I couldn't have that."
"Always the one who needs control..." You say fondly, with an airing sigh afterwards. "I can't say no to this display. So, Jade Leech, will you be my boyfriend?"
Jade has never felt his cheeks hurt more so pleasantly as he takes your first sentence in stride. "Why, I'd adore that idea." And perhaps, maybe giving you the first move had been just as sweet as anything else to him.
But...
"But as my new boyfriend, I'm afraid I must request you clean the kitchen. I still have to count the register from this afternoon." Jade answers as he digs into his dish below him.
"Dish duty already, I'm getting through the bases fast!" You laugh, and the afternoon goes on.

for the 2 + 3 = 5 for Jade and Azul with the words perfume, tea, and purple?
2 characters + 3 words = 5 sentences
Azul peered suspiciously at the steaming cup of unusually deep blue tea that Jade placed on the corner of his desk.
The tall moray gestured to it, smiling benignly, and said, "This is the item that I suggested we add to the lounge menu, Azul; please squeeze in the lemon and observe."
Azul raised an elegant eyebrow, but complied. His other eyebrow raised to match the first as he watched the liquid in the teacup go from blue to purple.
Jade went on, "It's frightfully popular due to the color change effect, although it's a real shame that the unsweetened tea tastes like drinking perfume."
