Prompt from PokiTheGhost: I had an idea where when it's Jamie's turn on dinner rotations someone usually makes an excuse for someone else to cook, but one night they run out of excuses and Jamie gets to cook. Everyone is a bit nervous (since "all he knows is fire") but Mako seems very calm and almost happy that Jamie gets to cook since he actually ends up being a good cook?

Prompts are CLOSED

….….

"And the next person to cook is… Jamison."

Everyone was silent, glancing at each other, desperately begging for someone to have an excuse.

Nothing.

They had officially run out of ideas.

In the corner of the room, there was a deep chuckle as Roadhog got to his feet. "He'll be pleased to hear that." He muttered, before leaving, continuing to chuckle as though he was aware of what everyone was thinking.

Dva looked like she was going to cry.

"Get the fire extinguishers ready." Soldier 76 sighed, "It's time to be brave."

…..

The first thing they heard, was the clinks, bangs and thuds coming from the kitchen.

Almost like they were going into battle, the large group crept down the corridor, pressing up against the wall as they made their way to the kitchen.

"Jesse, have a look!" Genji hissed, pushing his friend forwards.

"Alright, alright!" He peered around the corner, only to blink in surprise.

Jamie was wearing his usual cargo shorts, a baggy t-shirt that said CAUTION the back and a bright pink apron, facing the stove, stirring at something as kitchen timers ticked all around him. Roadhog was at the table, reading a book. If he was keeping an eye on Jamie, the mask hid it well.

All around, there were chopping boards with various ingredients on them.

"Ummm." Jesse nervously cleared his throat, "Hey there Jamie, what'cha doing?"

Jamie spun around, a big beam on his face, "I'm makin' risotto!"

"… Beggin' yer pardon?"

Jamie had already turned away though, muttering himself as he continued to cook.

"So… you know how to make risotto?" Jesse stepped a little more into the room, "How- how did you- "

"- Me Grandpappy taught me." Jamie explained, "I loved helpin' in the kitchen! It's almost done by the way, if everyone else wants to come in."

A little embarrassed at being caught they all shuffled into the room, just as Jamie was plating up.

They all glanced at each other, before all taking a bite in unison…. Before their eyes widened in shock.

This was… amazing!

"This sauce is perfect!" Lena was the first to pipe up, beaming at a nervous-looking Jamie, "Forget the rota! Who votes Jamie cooking all the time?!"

Even the ones who weren't fond of Junkrat, had to admit that this meal wasn't half-bad.

Nice sauce.

Vegetables were chopped nicely.

Just enough of each spice so as not to be over-powering.

It was close to perfect.

"Wow." Ana whispered, when Junkrat left the room for a moment, "Did anyone else know that he could cook like this?"

In unison, they all turned to Roadhog, who simply shrugged at the attention. "You never gave him the chance." He muttered, "What did you expect? For him to burn the kitchen down?"

The silence was all the answer he needed.

"Shows what you lot know." He grunted, "Don't judge a book by its cover."

"Deal!" Lena beamed, glancing around at everyone, "While we're on the subject of cooking, does anyone want to try my black pudding next time?"

"No!"
