Fandom: LOST
Characters: Jacob and Ilana
Rating: PG
Word Count: 108
Summary: Well, what do you expect when you read the cookbook upside-down? (for lost_in_108 , prompt - before, and 2x5obsessions , all grown up)
Jacob keeps his head down, watching his knuckles press into soft dough. It's easier this way, not meeting familiar eyes that study his every move. "You said you knew my father," Ilana finally says.
His fingers clench into fists around a dozen angry questions, folded and kneaded in with the eagerness and curiosity and need to avoid being hurt. It's the secret family recipe for dysfunction, and Jacob wishes it hadn't been passed down to her already.
"It's complicated."
Ilana runs a disappointed hand through her hair, leaving a streak of flour. Then she sighs. "Your bread's burning."
He was never very good at teaching by example. "Oh."
