Allister rand from Raihan's room as fast as he could. For two reasons. Not because he was scared of getting kissed, no, hardly that. No one he knew would do that, and if they did, Gengar could, and absolutely would bite their fingers off. Nah, Allister just wanted to get back to the kitchen as quickly as possible because he a. Wanted to know what Piers thought of the kiss. And b. Didn't want piers to realize he had noticed and gone to ask about it. Conflicting goal, yeah, but what else was he supposed to do?
Upon entering the kitchen, it was literally empty with the exception of Piers, who was busy cooking. Oh good, hopefully he wouldn't notice. As Allister ran in, he scrambled onto the counter by the sink, as if he'd been there the whole time. Which logically made not sense, but it did in his own mind. He wasn't even subtle about it, bashing his knee on the cabinet as he got up.
But oh yeah. There was a second reason he'd run back from the kitchen so quickly. "P-piers!" Allister quickly said. He didn't think about a good way to ask this, even though he probably shod have. "Wh-when did you 'nd Raihan bec-become boyfriends?" He asked. "Oh 'nd Raihan kinda tried to kiss me..."

Pretty soon he got the vegetables going, he threw them into a skillet. The colors of the vegetables mixed in with some spices was already starting to come together. He even made a stock with the odds and ends with the vegetables. He had that boiling on the side while the vegetables were sizzling in a pan. It smelled really nice... Piers would taste it after a moment. 

He didn't take his eyes off of the pots even when Allister came back in. He wouldn't let him know that he knew he was gone. He looked over and quirked a brow. Why did he jump on the counter? "Yes?" He asked, turning back to the pot. He... Wasn't expecting him to say anything. But then THAT came out. 
He had just taken a spoon out to taste the broth when he coughed. "Ah, shit." He watches the spook plop into the boiling stock, now looking for another to take the first one out. 
"Why'd he try and do that—nevermind. I already know the answer. He's a dumbass." 
He blatantly ignored his first question, still unable to process what happened before Raiahn left. Was this some sort of prolonged joke? First the family thing, the chef thing and now they were boyfriends?! *And why wasn't he totally upset about that thought?*

"Boyfriends, huh? Well—" He sighed. He really had to think of something, because Allister was serious about this. "Fuck, I don't know." 
He meant that to be more quiet to himself, as in he didn't know what to say in his lie. Now he was really thinking about what was going on, leaving the kitchen quiet as he stood there.
Sandra
Raihan enters the room. He didn't know that Allister was planning to ask Piers of the "Bf" Thing. Really. He thought the boy was genuinely scared of the cooties he was going to give him from a simple kiss. He lifts a single hand in greeting to the two. "Yo. How ya hold down the fort, Piers?" He was expecting that in that short amount of time maybe Piers would be done chopping so they could start cooking. The room is full of aroma so the guy apparently took it upon himself to go on without them. Raihan has to smirk at the pasty pink apron that the paler male wore, though. For chefs that worked here, maybe they're not too shy wearing such a cute color. Lucky too, because it looked pretty ~~cute~~ funny on Piers. 

He had walked right in after Allister asked the question so he's unknown of the awkwardness that is created from it. "Woooow~ It smells amazing in here, P! Sorry for taking so long~" He looks over at Allister and gives him a shushing motion as if to tell him to not say a word about their conversation (even though Alli already did!). Walking over to Piers, Raihan hesitated(?) thinking back to the joke and how the two are boyfriends. Even if Allister is a kid, it's obvious that the two aren't dating. Is it... That believable when Raihan made that joke? In the social world, it's not new to be paired with another person when you're a celebrity~ Simple interactions between two can make fans go crazy.

Raihan isn't too fazed from it. That's what being popular does to ya. But hell. If it's an inconvenience to his colleagues, Raihan would find a way to stop any said rumors. He's a big influencer after all. Alas, while they're away from the public eye- "Smells good~ Can I have a taste?" He comes up right behind Piers and holds him around the waist in his usual touchy-feely way.
Danny
*'Get a room..'* She said in her head. Did anyone even know she was in here? She sighed and turned back to her notebook and continued to mindlessly draw. Leafeon walked over to her chair and laid down beside it and closed her eyes.
William
So he was back. Piers took a quick glance at Raihan but didn't do much staring since he needed to get a spoon out of some broth, before they'd have a metallic curry. Maybe good for steel types but not for humans. Piers finally got the spoon out. The heat from it caused him to juggle it a bit before it landed into the sink. He just poured some water over it, picked it up and went back to using it. 
Perhaps it was because Raihan said something before he did it, that made Piers ready for that embrace. He seemed not to listen at all for a minute, and then almost leaned himself back as soon as Raihan's arms wrapped around his waist. He said nothing. Then, he dips the spoon into the broth and brings the steaming utensil up. He turns around, his face only being a few inches from Raihan's, he bring it to his lips with his hand underneath. "Be real honest about it. I'm seein' how the broth tastes before I start mixin' it with the curry paste."

This was... Pretty domestic, wasn't it? He looked over to only see Alli and the girl with the Leafeon. It was possible she might have thought something of the situation, but he had no idea; she didn't say anything to change that. 

When Raihan would taste it, Piers moved the spoon away. He then held it out to the other male again. "Go wash it now. I'm still usin' this spoon for cookin'."
Fred
"Uhh... 'M sorry!" Aah... He's said too much. Right? The room was pretty awkward by now, at least to him and Piers. Raihan didn't seem to get what was going on by now. Seriously, were they, what was it called, a couple? Were they not. He wasn't completely ignorant, and knew that some kind of romantic drama would make the fans go wild. And they Galar gym leaders were basically sports celebrities. Allister sort of wanted to ask, but fear of making things worse and getting yelled at held him back.
"Mmm, nevermind..." He said, probably quiet enough that no one even heard him. "I jus' think y-you two'd be c-cute together..." Again, hopefully no one heard that. He jumped off the counter now, almost walking into Piers and his burning spoon. "Eek," He squeaked, walking around it to see the curry. Well... It didn't look terrible... Better than anything Allister himself had ever cooked.

He rolled up a sleeve before dipping a finger in the curry, just fast enough so as not to burn himself. He gave it a taste and, "Woa... P-piers. Th's is great!" Kinda bland for Allister's liking, but he also drank Polteageist tea on the regular, so many things he ate were odd.
"Mm, n-needs salt... In-in my opinion," He said, before tasting the curry again.
Elsie
Blue barged into the kitchen greeting the familiar faces that were there, "Bonjour mon amis!" He went to the cabinet where he got to the vanilla bean, powdered sugar, sugar, salt, chocolars and cream of tartar, "Iris get the heavy cream, eggs, and butter and Red get the measuring stuff!" 

Iris nodded, it was just like that time Raihan taught them how to make that terribly spicy curry! Except it was baking which Iris had so and so experience with in comparison to cooking. As she gets the said ingredients from the fridge, she wondered if Red had any experience with baking.
Danny
She flinched when the three of them barged in. Leafeon immediately woke up and jumped on Summer's lap, almost making her fall off her chair. She sighed and patted the grass type on the head. She got up with Leafeon in her arms and set her down on the ground and walked to the oven. She put on an oven-mitt and took out the cake and set it down on the counter. She was going to wait a few minutes before decorating it to let it cool down.
Marie
*Red dug into the kitchen drawers. Blue just needs the measuring stuff, right? Wrong, he needed all the tools necessary to make these dishes. Besides the measuring cups and spoons, he also got mixing bowls, whisks, spatulas, baking trays, cake pans, and a hand mixer. Blue wasn't specific about the tools he needed to bake. At least the kitchen counter had plenty of space to put down all of these things. Red nodded, feeling accomplished of his deed.*
Sandra
Whoa. Raihan didn't expect Piers to be so docile. Or was he always like this? The lanky man feels his face warm a bit when he noticed how close their faces are. Wait. Don't they usually screw around like this? Raihan being touchy-feely, up-in-your-face, and too-close-for-comfort? It's not unfamiliar for him to be so content being in others space considering how much a tease he is. So of course Piers would be used to it, too? Maybe it's because Allister filled his head with boyfriend *This* And boyfriend *That*, that Raihan is a bit more... Shook up than usual. Again, was it that believable? Raihan takes the spoon in his mouth and swallows the broth. It's light and eases down in his throat well. Yeah, they need that curry paste but this right now is good if they were to make soup. 

"It's good~" He replies while enjoying the embrace. He felt so warm and cuddly more than usual. He doesn't let go even after Piers told him to wash the spoon. He doesn't mind if they stay stuck like this for a while longer. Whats up with him all the sudden? Then, he snap his attention to Allister when he stuck his finger in the broth. "Hey, hey, hey!" He lets go of Piers to swat Allister's hand even though the kid already withdrew it to have a taste. "Properly ask next time, Alli! You'll hurt yourself and that's-that's dirty." Everything else in the kitchen seem to move the moment after that. Blue bursting in surprised him, commanding the others like a lead robber does to his lackeys. The other girl that was in the room finished her cake and Red dug around in the drawers, making quite the noise. He leans back toward Piers just so only he could hear. "Kids," He commented. Although, there's a small laugh in it. Everyone sure is lively. There's never a dull moment! Raihan washes the spoon then and returns it to Piers.
Elsie
"I appreciate the effort but we won't be working with *All* Of that. Put the baking trays and cake pans away. We won't be making an entire cake," He looked down to the cabinets, taking out small porcelain souffle dish bowls. It was perfect for making both the dishes. 

Iris helped Red put the cake pans and baking trays back. She leaned on the counter poking at the ingredients and messing with the measuring tools. "Sooo what do we make first?"

"We'll start with the chocolate souffle, " Blue took the dishes and split apart from one another so that way it'll be evenly distributed. He put his hand on chin, "We're gonna apply a generous amount of butter around the side of the souffle. Boy are these bowls what do they call'em?*Haut comme trois pommes*!" He said trying to be all fancy. As Iris was buttering the bowl she tilted her head wondering what Blue said.
Marie
*Red sighed, putting away the baking trays and pans. It was a pity that Blue was going to use those small bowls instead. Looking around the kitchen, he looked at the cabinets with curiousity. Maybe it has bars of chocolate inside of it! While Iris was buttering the cake pans, Red helped himself with some Kalos chocolate bars. He offered Iris with a piece of chocolate.*
Elsie
"Red, we're supposed to-" Iris glanced over at Blue then the chocolate. It did look really *Fancy* Almost *Too fancy*. She discreetly took the piece and ate it. It melted into her mouth, somehow the texture was really smooth and velvety. "Kya! This is really good! Can I have another?"

"Oi what in the world are you luvdiscs up to?" Blue frowned as he was too concentrated with buttering the souffle dishes. There Red goes back to his shenanigans. "Red put the chocolate away and help out." He narrowed his eyes at the two specifically Red.
Fred
When his was smacked, Allister resisted the urge to revenge kick Raihan, as often seemed to be his desires. "M'kay sorry..." He said, looking away. He scratched the back of his head with a sigh, always hating when adults would ridicuel him. It made him feel like a little kid, which he was, but then the other half of the times he was expected to act like an adult. "He's still just a kid," Was a phrase used on Allister, but only when it was convenient for someone else. Sighing at the blatant hypocrisy, the ghost leader jumped down from the counter top, just in time for people to burst into the room, scaring the crap out of him.
"Agh!" He screeched, a little too loud to be considered normal, before hiding behind Raihan. On the way, he had to duck around Iris and Red as they got out pans for baking something Seriously, why was he so jumpy... These were people he sort of knew. Eh, at this point he kinda just accepted it as his default response, and since he wasn't actually scared, stepped out from behind the giant man and shrugged.
"Kids?" He asked, looking up at the other two. "N-nevermind wh't wen' on b-before w'th you two... 'N you s-say *We're* Weird?
Danny
*'That's probably enough time.'* She said to herself in her head. She took some frosting (that she made herself) out of the fridge and started frosting the cake. Then she placed some of the frosting in separate bowls and dyed them each different colors. Then she started to make some flowers on the cake with the frosting. After she was finished she looked at it for a moment and then put it in the fridge to save for later, or just a treat for anyone who decides to look in the fridge, she didn't really care.
Marie
*Red nodded, handing another piece of that exquisite chocolate. He took another moment to enjoy another piece. Turning his head, he saw Blue working on the souffle. It was difficult to take him seriously knowing that he still had that Gracidea flower on his head. Putting away the chocolate in his jacket pockets, it's time to work on the desserts. Grabbing out the mixing bowl and whisk, he waited for Blue's instructions.*
William
There were two people baking at the moment. He wondered how that would go on—ah, right. They were in a minted person's mansion right now. Of course they had more than one oven. Still, it was smelling really nice. They'd have a whole meal ready; a feast, actually. Two baked desserts, two curries and whatever Irsia and Anvi would make since he didn't know. He saw fish in their cart so it was bound to be good. 
*Why... Wasn't he letting go? Wasn't this supposed to be a joke?* 

"Other people are gonna be eatin' that. Ya could have just asked or waited for a second." Piers said, backing Raihan up on that. Oh well, he already did it. Also, they were joined by a bunch of other tykes coming in and getting ready. Seems like everyone was hyped for cooking. 
"Heh. Yeah." It surprised Piers each time he'd actually agreed with Raihan. This didn't happen so easily, did it? Ah, too much thinking going on. He was just about to tell Raihan to move back since it was getting hot. The steam was picking up again on the food. He took the spoon and stirred the broth. "Some salt, huh?" He asked, remembering Alli's comment about the broth. He finds a salt shaker and puts some more into it. 
 Piers carefully begsn pouring the broth into the sizzling pan, watching the ingredients come together in the liquid. Huh... There was still a LOT of broth left. 
"Oi, Raihan. See if there's any rice 'round this place. We could have it to pour the curry over."
Elsie
Blue sighed handing Red a knife and a cutting board, "Cut the chocolates, into small rugged pieces. Then get some butter and the pieces of chocolate put on a bowl, and under than bowl have simmering pot of water. Kapeesh?" It was a lot for Red to do, but Blue *Sort of* Trusts his intuition. Meanwhile him and Iris are covering the buttered bowls in sugar.
Fred
"'Kay! I get it!" Allister grumbled, crossing his arms. "I shouldn've t-touched the curry. 'M sorry, 'kay." Great, now everyone was mad at him. But hey, what else was new right? All the time. Allister had an idea? Well, he was just a kid, so ignore him. Allister break something in his own gym, well shit, he's in trouble. Nope, being a kid's no longer an excuse apparently. But did they have to keep repeating themselves. Not like he had the guts to ever bring it up. They were off in their own world now, so Allister was back to doing his own thing on his own time. As per usual. Well, he was pretty glad about it, especially with the recent turn or events.
Ignoring the lovebirds, he went over to the sink, having pulled out a large pitcher from a cabinet, and filled it with water. There were several ovans around the place, so he just randomly picked a spot, put the kettle down, and went about boiling the water for his tea. And no, the other Galarians weren't any. He'd decided that.
Not like anyone would want it anyways. The last time he tried making tea for them, they all just got somewhat sick, even though he warned them it would do that!
"Gengar," He said. "D' me a favor nd get the b-black tea outta the cabinet." As he waited for the water to boil. It didn't take long, and the kettle was screaming. "P-perfect!" Allister dragged it off the stove, mumbling that it was hot as he placed it on the counter and went to grab a cup. Just one. As he was pretty sure he wanted to take it to his room.
Sandra
"Hey! Kissing each other ain't weird!" Raihan defended really fast when Allister spoke up about it. He nods quickly to Piers before looking around for a rice cooker. *"Ah, shoulda started that up before."* Seeing that Allister trailed off to do his own thing (was he making *That* Tea?), Raihan walk back to the pantry door. Resting at the bottom of all the other miscellaneous shelf items, was a bag of rice which he had dug in before. Retrieving some in a bowl, Raihan brings it to the sink near Allister and start rinsing the grains. "Um, Alli. I'm not sure if ya want to brew that for peo-" Last time he tried that tea, he was almost brought to the dead! But the little kid must have had his mind elsewhere because he went off to find a stove. "Wait-!" The water in the rice overflows and Raihan had to stop himself before dumping the water from the bowl. 

In the end, he finished rinsing the rice and and placed it in the rice cooker. Sighing, he'd return to Piers. "The rice is just cooking now~ We just gotta let the curry simmer~" Then he points over to Allister. "He's thinking of massacring all these peeps or what?" Raihan is only saying that since assuming the ghostie was gonna share the pot. Speaking the next rather loudly, "Alli, what ya doing?"
Fred
It was almost done... Aaaaand there, perfect! It was almost done, he just needed to add the final ingredient. He pretended not to hear Raihan, since he feared he'd already get in trouble for this. "Don' worry. 'M only makin' it f'r me." He wasn't gonna make anyone drink it, not after last time. He pulled out a pokeball, summoning Polteageist. 
"Hello... " It said, in an unenthusiastic tone.
'Hey, umm... Your cold, can you boil?"
"Why..."
"'M making the special tea," He explained. "Now c'n you heat up 'n st'p making me look energetic?"
*"No..."
He flicked it.
"OW!"
Which pissed the Pokemon off just enough to make the tea inside it boil.
"Thank you."
Now holding the boiling tea which, somehow, was not spilling out everywhere, he filled his mug halfway with normal tea, and half with the ghost's.
"Also," He looked at Raihan, raising an eyebrow. "I warmed y-you guys. 'Snot my fault G-glrdie drank three cups n' ended up in the hospital." Though he only intended to pour his own, Allister unconsciously poured two cups...
"Uh..." He awkwardly shrugged, before picking both up, about to take both to his room.
Marie
*Before cutting the chocolate, he brought a pot of water to a boil. Once it started boiling, he brought the cutting board out of one of the kitchen drawers. Red twirled the knife, catching it by the handle. He chopped the semisweet chocolate into irregular chunks and tossed them into a bowl. The boy placed the bowl over the pot, stirring the chocolate and the butter together.*
William
Piers looked over, nodding in approval when seeing the rice was now cooking, The meal was really coming together now. This... Might be a decent dish! All that was needed was to add the tofu later on, so it wouldn't crumble. It would still taste nice, but the big chunks of the soft food were certainly aesthetic. 

"Tea?" Piers looked over, now able to walk away from the stove once everything was just simmering. He didn't take the apron off. It would be a hassle, and there hasn't been enough accidents in the kitchen today for him to be comfortable. Besides, they were still waiting on Leon, miss Irsia and Anvi. When seeing the teapot Pokemon out and boiling something, Piers shivered. He's heard of that tea. It wasn't bad, not bad at all! But that's what made it scary. You drink too much and you'll get sick. *Really* Sick. Though, something to drink would be nice. 
"Ey, you're not thinkin' of drinkin' *Both* Of them are ya?" Piers quirked a brow, his usual apathetic expression on his face. "The only wrong part about that memory was Gordie doin' somethin' stupid like that."
