So prismatic-bell likes to send me sweet MakoAmi ideas all the time and this headcanon about Ami and food grew out of that. This post is probably 50/50 me and Nina, so give her some love for this post as well.

Ami has issues with a lot of foods (either there’s a taste or texture there that Ami just can not deal with) and is a very selective eater, hence the sandwiches that she eats in canon.

So on one of their first dates Ami is horribly embarrassed because Mako made all this wonderful food but a lot of it is food she just cannot eat and she’s convinced that she’s really seriously offended Mako. But at the same time Mako is convinced Ami hates her.

And of course Ami never brought it up because if she DID, she’s used to people saying shit like “well have you tried THIS?” or “have you tried it this way?” and so on, and it just gets really tiring to have to explain that over and over again.

So then Mako finally asks Ami what happened, and Ami is not the straightforward type at all and is horrified to offend people. So, finally she pours her heart out to Usagi, who relays this information to Mako.

The next day at school Ami opens her desk and finds a cute little piece of stationery that says “write down some things you like,” and it’s clearly Mako’s stationery so she timidly goes to see Mako at lunch.

Mako’s just like “Hey, I can learn to cook just about anything, but it doesn’t do either of us any good if I don’t know what I should be feeding you,” and Ami mentions a rice dish she likes.

Next time they get together that’s what Mako puts on the table.
