#im very passionate about kaede growing and learning to branch out in little ways that feel safe for her

i sorta hc that shuichi is the only member of the polycule who can cook or bake... he's not amazing at either but he's pretty good. i think kiibo could follow a recipe but he just hasn't practiced very much yet, and kaede has never tried because what if some freak accident in the kitchen burned her hands? what if she hurts a finger chopping vegetables? she can't take that chance

BUT i think she and kiibo should try at least once... maybe they make some cookies or little pastries for all of them to enjoy together (not kiibo though LMAO)

they would be so silly about it, they get themselves some nice kitchen aprons just for the fun of it... and both of them spent a lot of time beforehand, total coincidence, researching interesting types of cookies to make and recipes they thought would be fun because they're both So into this and got really excited and focused on making The Perfect Little Treat... and they come together like oh haha this is so silly of me but i had all these ideas... wait no that sounds great you're so right YEAH LET'S DO IT

#also i think even though all their backstories are fake. kaede just has no memory of ever cooking which is functionally the same #as never having done it before #im very passionate about kaede growing and learning to branch out in little ways that feel safe for her #taking it at her own pace learning to connect herself with the world in ways that aren't just what team dr wanted of her #i think she'd still enjoy piano postcanon but she would need to seriously self reflect a lot before that could happen #and kiibo is trying to carry on what he and shuichi decided in his ftes #like.... he's still perfectly fine as he is he should do hobbies for fun not to make people like him more #so him and kaede being like...... able to let go of any hangups they have abt this and just Try Something #together <3 #meows #ot3posting
