[3rd POV]
After making their little bet with one another, the two had finally decided to find a spot to put down a small table, in which they would be eating their dinner. A dinner that Death had insisted she was making, even though Wanda offered to do it.
So she got to watch the entity work, making some sort of meal that she had never seen before. She imagined it was from some old and ancient species, or perhaps a food that was specific to the Endless themselves.
That would be damn interesting if it was the case. Whatever it was, it smelled incredible. Unlike anything she had ever seen before. Meaning that it was guaranteed to be something interesting.
"Is the big guy really okay with us cooking in this place?" Wanda asked, realizing that cooking in a giant ass library with very flammable books might not be the best idea in the world. And there was no flames that were billowing small puffs of smoke into the area.
"Hmm? Oh no it's fine. The books here are indestructible. It's an inherent trait of the library itself, as everything inside that belongs to the library, cannot leave the library. Be it through destruction or being stolen" Death responded, waving away her concerns.
The Presence himself ensured that the books would stay, and would not be destroyed. So, they would simply not be destroyed. With not even Wanda herself being capable of destroying them. Not yet at least.
In the future she probably could.
"Oh...yeah I guess that does make sense" Wanda muttered, blushing slightly in embarrassment as she realized that her worry was kind of stupid. This was the Akashic library, there was simply no chance that the big guy would let anything there be damaged in any form, even if it was a minor way.
Some of the books in that place were literally books on someone's entire life, explaining every single thing about them. From their past, their present, and into their future. The books were connected to the very souls of each person they represented, so it made sense that they were impossible to destroy.
"No need to be embarrassed, darling" Death teased with a grin on her face, taking delight in the rare and adorable blush that formed on Wanda's cheeks. It was rare to see her react in such a way to something, as usually she was pretty good at keeping her emotions and facial expressions under control.
But when it comes to dates, such as the ones she goes on with Raven and of course Death, she usually lets herself show more.
And Death was pretty good at getting those reactions from her.
"Yeah yeah, no need to tease me" Wanda said with a small huff, watching as Death cooked. Using some cookware that she had manifested with her power. She noticed absentmindedly that Death had been pointing her butt out a bit, and seemed to bend over whenever she had the chance.
'Damn minx, trying to tease me' Wanda thought, her eyes glancing down at Death's perky butt.
Death wanted her to look, so she was gonna look.
And she knew she wanted her to look, because Death was smirking when she bent over. Something that Wanda could easily notice. So, she said "fuck it" inwardly and got her eye candy.
She was pretty sure that Death wanted to give her more than just eye candy. But for now, she was happy with waiting and talking with the hot goth deity. The food smelled better and better the longer she sat there.
Eventually the food was done.
Wanda gazed at the plate in front of her, as Death began to talk.
"You've never seen this dish before, right?" Death got a shake of a head in response, prompting her to continue "I figured. It's probably the rarest meal in the multiverse" Death said.
"What is it?" Wanda asked, very curious. She could tell just from looking at it that the meal in front of her was very far from normal. It exuded an aura of something that should not be a food.
"It's...kind of complicated to explain. But I guess you can think of it as the "Meat" of the big bang. Not the big bang of a universe, but of the entire multiverse" Death explained, as Wanda stared at her, and then down at the food in front of her.
"You are telling me that this is the meat of the big bang? Literal big bang meat?" Death snorted at her words, before nodding.
"Mmhmm, cool isn't it? I've never eaten it before, considering it's like...next to impossible to get. I had to ask Lucifer for some. He was pretty chill about handing it over, as he had stored quite a lot of it" Death replied.
"Quite a lot" was a bit of an understatement. As the big bang of the multiverse was...well, fucking huge. So big that he had a small pocket universe full of the "Meat".
It didn't start out in this form, and instead had to be reformed and warped. And the one who did this was the big man himself, the Presence. Who had done it on a whim, since he was curious what the big bang of a multiverse would taste like.
And he got his answer in the form of the most delicious thing in the multiverse, literally. It was impossible to be more delicious than it. In this multiverse at least. There might be something better in a higher multiverse. But there were only a handful of those out there.
"You didn't have to do all of this, you know. I would have been happy with a simple date too" Wanda said, staring at Death like she was crazy. The woman only grinned in response.
"I know! I just wanted to do it because you deserve it. Plus, I want to see your face once you eat it~" Death said, as she had already eaten it before.
Wanda just chuckled at her words, before deciding to try it out. Taking a piece off with a fork, she scooped it up and slowly pushed it into her mouth, and began to chew.
Her eyes widened a moment later.
'...So goood!~' Wanda thought in delight, a smile forming on her face as she chewed. Death took in the sight with a laugh, knowing that this was going to happen. She had a very similar reaction when she had first tried it all those years ago.
'Well at least she looks like she likes it' Death thought in amusement, not at all surprised. This "meat" had made all sorts of entities react in similar manners. Not just because it tasted amazing, but also because it had a secondary effect.
It made the consumer stronger. Not by a ton for someone of Wanda's caliber, but still a bit.
But for a normal God that could actually survive consuming it? It would catapult them massively in power, to the range of certain Old Gods.
Coughing awkwardly, Wanda began to speak "Are you going to dig in as well, or just watch me eat?"
Death hearing her, laughed and joined in on the food, as she too began to enjoy the delicious meal.
Soon the library was filled with laughter and chatter, as they enjoyed another successful date.

I am sorry about the lack of uploads. I'm currently pretty sick, and kind of miserable. Writing is not really fun when you feel like garbage.
