Taako the YouTube beauty guru au and Kravitz falls in love with him 👀👀 (how that happens is up to u)

terezis:

• i know you said beauty guru, but i think taako “i’m not a model, i’m a wizard and a chef” adventurezone would have a cooking channel, actually!
• youtube is his bread and butter, but taako is both charming and gorgeous, in addition to being a prodigal talent in the kitchen, so he’s wildly popular on other social media as well.
• kravitz, meanwhile, is a chronic workaholic. it doesn’t really matter what his job is – musician, mortician, private investigator – his dinners, if he doesn’t work through them, are usually cups of ramen or leftover chinese take-out.
• his boss raven insists that he take better care of himself, lest he burn out. at her behest, kravitz begins trying to teach himself how to cook. “tries” is the key word, here; the man can follow the instructions on a frozen breakfast burrito to a tee, but he’d burn water trying to boil it. 
• when it becomes clear that he needs guidance – his pasta has all but welded itself to the pot – kravitz turns to the internet for help. he finds taako’s channel.
• things go better for kravitz when he follows along with taako’s videos, but he’s still clearly not a chef. his chicken piccata is edible, if over-seasoned, and the presentation leaves something to be desired. it’s a start, though!
• when kravitz posts a picture of his meal on twitter, he’s just documenting the journey so that raven will get off his back. when he @s taako in the tweet, he’s not expecting a response; he doesn’t even think taako will see it. he’s just giving credit for the recipe, is all.
•  you know that thing chef ramsey does where he critiques-slash-publicly-shames people’s bad cooking? yeah. taako absolutely destroys him, just, roasts kravitz within an inch of his life. kravitz doesn’t notice that the tweet has blown up until raven shows up at work the next day smirking. 
• kravitz is mostly horrified, but at this point he’s kind of enamored with this very mean, very attractive celebrity chef. he also feels like he has something to prove, now, so he keeps cooking, and every night he posts his dinners, and every night taako replies with something scathing and flirty.
• taako, for his part, is also horrified – at the way this rando is butchering his enchiladas. but the guy is trying so hard, is the thing. taako can tell when people are just blowing up his mentions for the likes, but the way kravitz is slowly but surely improving seems genuine. 
• also, if he’s not catfishing anyone with that display pic, @grimAxuillator is ridiculously hot.
• one day, a few weeks later, kravitz opens up twitter to find that one @taakofromYT is following him, and if that alone wasn’t enough to send him into cardiac arrest, he also has an unread dm. “that pan au chocolat was just shameful, my dude,” taako says, “i can’t let you fuck with my recipes in public like this, it’s bad for the brand. how would you like some cooking lessons in meatspace??? 😉 😉 😉 x” 
• the rest is history.
