you wrote it perfectly, no worries! ww and this is funny because i was just doodling something related to this 😂
i think yuuta knows just enough about cooking to not burn the kitchen down (w) and he can make simple dishes like curry/instant ramen/instant miso and omurice, but when it comes to more complicated things it doesn’t always turn out right www…meanwhile yuuji, who’s had to fend for himself from an early age when it comes to a lot of household stuff, is a pretty good cook…(i mean to make your own recipes imo you have to be relatively skilled imo) so when they cook together and yuuta wants to be helpful yuuji usually has him do prep work like chopping/boiling water, taste-testing etc., and that way things get done more efficiently & turn out good.
a few times yuuta asks if he can take the lead on making stuff and yuuji warily agrees, but the results are mixed (i.e. half the food comes out either charred or undercooked) so they usually just settle on the first routine www
i imagine that after a while of doing this together & watching yuuji closely yuuta gets a lot better ^_^ and yuuji is very proud because it means he’s a good teacher ☺️
thank you for the question! <3
