Who: Jon Kent and Rei Hino
What: A long overdue date
Warnings: Shit yeah.

Jon was happy to finally get a few minutes just to fly. Lately it had been fly to school, run home, get to work, do homework, try to stop a few bullets, and spend the remaining time talking to Rei and lusting after roleplaying products (he was a multitasker, and could occasionally spare a few to lust after Rei, too.) He hadn't been able to do anything with Rei. Even Kryptonians need sleep.

He did a few loops as he floated lazily across the Atlantic ocean. Of course, in his case, "lazily" was in excess of a thousand miles a minute. It was nice. He was going out with his girlfriend, he had a present (two) and he'd put on his nice pants. And, of course, it was a beautiful day in late spring and he was deeply in love.

He touched down outside Rei's apartment and knocked on the door. He knew it was unlocked, and that she wouldn't mind if he just walked in without permission, but Jon's daddy had raised him right. His hair still wind-swept from flying, his arms loaded down with gifts both silly and romantic, he waited.

Jon almost pointed out that in the time it took her to look it up, he probably could have flown to a sushi restaurant and asked someone how big he should slice the fish. But that would have been needlessly complicated, really. Besides, his hair was still messy from the last adventure through the stratosphere.

"My thumb isn't huge," said Jon, looking at his thumb. "Yours are just tiny. Why don't I just measure by your thumbs? I can estimate. Or just use the length up to the knuckle." He followed after her and took her by the hand, examining her thumb. "I don't know. The only thing I've ever noticed about your fingers is that they're perfect for this." He kissed her hand and grinned at her.

	"YOur everything is huge," Rei said, coming back with a printout. Fortunately for her she had some of the seaweed wrap it called for, and before she could go to the fridge to get it, he had her hand in his huge paw. Blushing when he kissed her hand was par for the course, and she swatted at his bottom playfully. "Slick, Jon." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He blushed too, mostly because he wasn't quite slick enough to pull that kind of move off. "I'll work on that fish," Jon said, returning to the cutting board. He'd read the instructions over Rei's shoulder.

The important thing seemed to be a clean cut, which didn't seem difficult. Jon's knife was sharp, and the fish was fresh (which was also very important). He began moving slowly enough to be watched, which wasn't his normal modus operandi, but breakneck speeds had their place and their place wasn't with Rei. He liked spending as much time with Rei as possible.

	Rei nodded, reading instructions on how to roll the rice, and she busied herself with getting the seaweed wrap out of the fridge. She watched Jon slice the fish, smiling at how careful he was. "You're good at that. Have you been a sushi chef without telling me?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Hai! I trained under the Iron Chef. They call me the Tin Sous-Chef. It's not as glamorous a title." Jon kept slicing and, because he was distracted trying to show off to the pretty girl, his thumb got right under the blade. It went clean through.

Which is to say, the thumb went clean through the blade.

"Whoops." Jon eyed the now mangled piece of hardware. "I can fix it." He heated the blade with his heat vision and then molded the now pliable metal with his fingers. "Done." He blew on it to cool it, and when it began to "ting!" he put it down. "Okay, that needs to cool or it'll cook the fish. Anything else I can be clumsy with? I'm sorry. By the way."

Rei tried not to laugh at his statement, then blinked when he cut the knife. She folded her arms, watching him fix the knife with his heat vision.

"I'm kind of glad I'm on your good side, Mister Clumsy." She went over to kiss him, then motioned him toward the rice. "You can shape the rice, if you want." She went over to the knife and started cutting the fish herself.

"You're fireproof anyway. It'd probably just tingle. Might be something to try when you're naked one of these days." Jon winked and set to work on the rice. This much he could accomplish. It was fun, in a way. Most of what he did that was useful involved being able to punch a hole through a mountain. This required the exact opposite: a gentle touch. Minimal force.

The recipe called for about a handful, but, as Rei was quick to point out, he was a large dude. So instead he made half-handfuls. "I can't believe I broke a knife. Again. I don't know how Mia keeps from doing it, she's stronger than I am."

	Rei's eyebrows arced high, and she giggled. "I am fireproof, but you're... super fire. It might not react the same way." She continued to slice the fish, taking care not to slice off her fingers. "Well, you said she was a good cook, maybe it has more to do with experience?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Well, that, and she's not me." Jon was a bit of a klutz at normal speed. Moving at relativistic speeds, he was fine. The second he got below a few hundred miles per hour, he was tripping over his own shoelaces midair, which wasn't even possible.

"There's probably other ingredients, right? Vegetables or wasabi or whatever. I've never really researched what goes into sushi."

	Rei moved closer to him to kiss him, grinning. "I'm glad about that part." Mia was her friend, sure, but she didn't have any interest in her. Not like Jon. After consulting the recipe, she nodded toward the fridge. "You're supposed to add vinegar, sugar, and salt to that while it's in the cooker." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I can do that!" Jon felt a little bit silly being so excited to be presented with a task that he could effectively manage, but aside from fresh ingredients, his role in food preparation was largely to eat it. Besides, it was the cutest--dare he say, wutest?--rice maker in the known world.

Jon followed the given instructions, making sure the rice was fluffing as it should have been. Or sticking. Jon didn't know what rice was supposed to do, but he did it anyway.

	Rei smirked. Jon's enthusiasm was adorable, and she didn't want to rub it in that he was cute. Instead, she continued slicing fish. After she thought she had enough, she went to the fridge to retrieve the nori to roll everything up in. It was her favorite way to eat sushi. "So, what have you been up to? It feels like it's been a while since we talked face to face." (Reply to this) (Parent)
