Tonight was another bank heist. The plan was simple: have Wolf distract everyone while Snake and Webs go and do their thing. It sounded like a difficult feat, but let’s be real, this wasn’t their first rodeo.
Now, what about the other two? Well, they had the place to themselves, and if they were being honest, it was extremely awkward for the two being alone together.
They always had a thing for each other ever since they first met, years ago. But that’s a story for another time.
Right now, Shark was on the couch, vegging out as he looked at the random visuals on the tv. He scratches his belly when all of sudden, he can hear rapid chopping and clicking coming from somewhere close.
He makes a noise out of confusion and gets up to look around to see where the noise was coming from. It got louder and louder as he was reaching the surface before seeing…
Mr. Piranha on a stool, chopping up various vegetables and meats while a bunch of pots were boiling on the stovetop.
“Uh….”
Piranha stops almost immediately as he turns around. “Ah, what’s going on hermano ?”
“Nooooothin’.....” Mr. Shark looks at everything in front of him in bewilderment. “Uh, Piranha. You know how to cook?”
The smaller fish scoffs. “Don’t be stupid….. Of course I don’t.”
“Then why are you cookin’ in the first place?”
Piranha shrugs. “I dunno. Though since everyone else is out, why not?”
The bigger fish looks at everyone that was cut up and frowns. He doesn’t know how to cook either, but let’s be honest, if this means he gets to do something with Piranha, then by all means, he’s in to do it.
“How about we make something big?!” Shark suggested. “You know, if we’re gonna make something, why not make something we can all enjoy?!” The nudge Piranha as he looked confused…
Which turned into a mischievous smile. “Oh ho ho! Like that stew pot I’ve been hearing about!”
“You mean beef stew?”
“Whatever it is, you can’t count me in novio! ”
Piranha freezes and Shark nods and removes all the pots from the stovetop and slams the biggest one he could find. Piranha sighs in relief, luckily he didn’t know what “ novio” meant, as he grabs the chopped up foods and throws them in the water.
Piranha tries to take a look inside, but was too short to see, even with the stool. He tugs on Shark’s pants as the other looks down as he lifts him up and places him on his left shoulder.
“Damn, that doesn’t look very stew-y to me….” Piranha said, slightly disappointed.
“Uh, I think we need to add something to give it that “pizazz”” Shark said as the smaller fish jumps off his shoulder and runs to the fridge.
“We're gonna need something starchy…Oh, like potatoes!” Piranha throws a few as they all land on the round table behind them.
“Perhaps, we need something sour too! Like a lemon!” Shark added and threw.
“Maybe Sausage!”
“Eggplant!”
“FLOUR!!”
“Whaaaaat? Come on! Last time I checked, you don’t add that to stew….” Shark grumbles as he smiles. “Ah, but we can add some cheese!”
“¡A HUEVO! NOW, WE’RE COOKIN’ HOMBRE!!”
As Piranha was getting more excited, the two continued on their little back-and-forth with a little bit of side-chat when they picked something they didn't agree with.
After everything, the two had nearly everything that was in the fridge as they moved to the freezer, where the big tuna gasped dramatically.
“What!? What did you find?!” Piranha exclaimed as he looked up.
“Duuuuude, what if we put a PUSH POP into the stew!?” Shark asked as he pointed to it.
“Oi… That would just ruin the stew.”
Shark would hum sadly as Piranha hits him playfully. Sharks open it as he takes a bite out of it due to excitement, which immediately resulted in him yelling before the smaller fish looks at the array of things to put into the stew.
“ HERMANO! I’m gonna need another pair of hands here!” He said as he whips out a pair of knives for each hand; and the pure rush of euphoria, he started slicing and dicing without his novio , as he would say.
But as he was going at it, Shark came around with his own pair and started helping Piranha out with cutting up the fruits, veggies and other miscellaneous ingredients. The two looked at each other and started laughing with each other as they were beginning to cut in-sync with one another.
…
…
…
The trio came back with stolen fast food as they walked inside.
“Hey Shark, Piranha!” Wolf yelled. “We brought din-nnnn-HEY!!”
The others all groaned and ached as they coughed.
“ALRIGHT! WHO CUT THE CHEESE!?” Webs yelled.
“Well, I did, but I cut the actual cheese.” The big fish replied as both Shark and Piranha can be seen in front of the big pot as the others walked over to them slowly.
“Guys…. What did you do?” Wolf asked. The fish duo nodded as they opened the pot to show…
A horrid amalgamation of food stuffed inside a pot.
“I made beef stew with my no-vio here!” Shark shakes Piranha's cheeks playfully as the little guy blushes immensely.
“HEY! Not in front of the others!” The smaller fish exclaimed.
Snake rolls his eyes “As…….cute as you two are for finally coming out on being a couple, the shit you two made is…” He slithers over to the pot and grimaces. “How do I say this........Inedible.”
“For once, or well twice, I have to agree with Mr. Grumpypants over here….” Webs said, getting on top of Snake to look at the hell pot.
The others followed suit and the only one who could be seen smiling were the cocineros themselves.
Wolf squints as he tries his ever-so-hardest to take a close gander at the food and realize something. “H-hey wait a minute….”
He walks over to the fridge to see that…. It’s completely empty.
“SHARK!! PIRANHA!! PLEASE DON’T TELL ME YOU USED uUP EVERYTHING WE HAD IN THE FRIDGE!!” Wolf yelled at the two
“Oh come on, don’t be silly. We used nearly everythin'. It’s different!” Shark said as Wolf growled.
Snake followed as he checked the freezer and gasped. “And these bastards ate all of the push-pops too!”
“What? We were hungry!” Piranha said as he chuckled and took out a push pop, with Shark following along and copying him as he laughed with his small boyfriend.
Wolf groaned as Snake shut the freezer and looked at Wolf. “Shouldn't have gotten them anything.” He said as he took his leave with the food and Webs.
Once they stopped laughing, those two would be in so much fuckin’ trouble….
