“Sure, I’d love some help actually. I’ve got cupcakes cooling on the counter who might just be ready to frost.” He said with a small smile. “are you being affected by the new law as well?”

She smiled. “Good. Baking always is the best therapy for me.”

Lottie nodded and walked over to where he was, helping bring the cupcakes over so they could frost them. “Yeah, unfortunately. My Daddy’s family is full of half-bloods and muggles so I’m not really sure what’ll happen with all of that.” She sighed, “I’m guessing you are too?”

[cattermoleboy]

“Yeah, mum and gran are muggle born and just....I’m very nervous about it all, you know?” He said with a weak smile. “I just hope it doesn’t get too strict around here with all this stuff.”

Mercer had been worried since he hadn’t heard from Roman in a while. He could relate when he saw the mess around the kitchen. It didn’t look like his friend had taken a break. “Okay…do you need help with finishing that one or cleaning?” He grabbed a napkin and passed it over, motioning to the boy’s face.

When the other brought a napkin close to his face, he scrunched up his flour dused nose before taking it to wipe off. “Thanks lovely.” He said softly. “I mean, I guess since I’m running out of sugar I should start to clean before going down to the shop to get more.”

“Look,” He sighed, taking a seat and leaning his arm on the counter. “These sort of things always sort themselves out in the end.” Malcolm smiled. He wasn’t entirely sure how to tell the boy that he might not like how it ended if he didn’t like the current situation. As far as Malcolm was concerned, the new law was just a step in the right direction. 

Popping his head up, he  looked at the other with sorrow and worry filling his eyes. “I’m....I’m just so worried for my parents and grandparents. Waiting for cakes to come out is the only way to not think about someone trying to take them away. It happened before to gran, and now it migh happen again to gran and my mum and I just...I don’t know what I would do.”

She gave him a smile and leaned against the counter. “I’ve been the same, actually. Baking’s like my stress relief. My great-grandparents have a bakery, so I think it’s ingrained in me.” Lottie looked at him, “Need a hand? We can destress together.”

“Sure, I’d love some help actually. I’ve got cupcakes cooling on the counter who might just be ready to frost.” He said with a small smile. “are you being affected by the new law as well?”

Malcolm made his way over to the boy, his boyfriend, gently grabbing the spoon out of his hand and took over the mixing. “Are you stressed out that new law?” He asked, unsure of what else could be on his mind. Though he couldn’t understand why people were so upset over this as avoiding muggles was something he did daily. 

Roman made a little whine when the other took the bowl and spoon from him, a pout adorning his face. When the other guessed his stress correctly, the pout turned into a full-fledged frown. “Yes” He whimpered before resting his head against the counter in sorrow. “It’s really scary...”

“Not that I really mind, since I love cake.” Hugo laughed, arranging the cakes in their kitchen. “But I don’t think we have enough room in the fridge for all of these.” He told the boy, wondering what was stressing him out so much but didn’t want to ask. Mostly just worried that he would upset him in some way. 

“Well, then start eating hugo! Or we can take them down to your friends or....I don’t know, but I’ve just got to keep my mind busy and this is the tastiest way to do it.”

[cattermoleboy]

Roman continued to beat the bowl of frosting with the spoon, stress clearly riddling hiss features as he did so. Wiping his forehead with the back of his hand, he lifted his slightly flour covered face to meet the eyes of the other. “I’ve been baking all day, and I’ve made about five cakes so far. It’s the only thing kind of keeping me calm right now.”

cattermoleboy:

“Oh, I’m sure they will make fun of us, but I don’t really care.” He said with a grin, moving closer. “So….does that mean you want to make out again now? Do we get to get some food and spend the day together?”

As Roman stepped forward, his fingers made his way to the boy’s belt loops to pull him closer. “Can’t we make out and spend the day together? With food of course.” Malcolm laughed. “I mean, the kissing is what makes it a date rather than just two dudes hanging out.” 

[cattermoleboy]

feeling the tug at his waist, He smiled happily at the other, arms lifting to wrap around the other’s neck just to keep them close together. “Oh, of course. I mean we did bro dates like that all the time. Now it’s boyfriend dates because of the kissing.”

[cattermoleboy]

strangemagic-intheair:

“Really? They always joked with me about liking you.” He blushed. “Guess they can’t say anything about us now. Though I guess they all saw this coming.” 

“Oh, I’m sure they will make fun of us, but I don’t really care.” He said with a grin, moving closer. “So....does that mean you want to make out again now? Do we get to get some food and spend the day together?”

cattermoleboy:

“yeah?” He said with a small smile. “Well….I’m no good at it either. I have about a thousand emotions just running through me at a million miles an hour.”

Malcolm felt rather accomplished after having put a smile on the other boys face. That’d been his goal the moment he’d asked the boy to come over and he was happy to have succeeded. Though he did wish that the current topic was a little more easy going, or at least didn’t make him feel so uncomfortable. He knew that it was something that needed to be discussed though, no matter how much he tried to brush it off. “Well we can take things slow?” He offered up, not particularly wanting to figure it all out right away anyway. “I mean, just knowing that we’re together is enough for me right now.” 

[cattermoleboy]

“Slow is good, as long as you are mine and I’m yours,  I could do slow forever.” He said with a grin. “I can’t believe you...you are actually my boyfriend. Everyone on the team use to tease me about having a crush on you, but the joke is one them since you like me too.”

Roman tightened at the others groan, all his fears affirmed with the noise. His mouth was down a frown tugging at the usually very optimistic face. “No–no I don’t wanna start this off like that. I want you to mean it and stuff. I want you to tell me what you want…not ‘can do’ but want to”

Malcolm sighed. “Look, I want to be with you. Only you and no one else. So yeah, let’s be exclusive.” He smiled, hoping that it would put a smile on the other boys face. “I know I seem nonchalant but it’s because I really like you and I’m not good at this stuff.” 

[cattermoleboy]

“yeah?” He said with a small smile. “Well....I’m no good at it either. I have about a thousand emotions just running through me at a million miles an hour.”

“Yeah, like….dating, or fwb, or boyfriends.” He said softly as he looked up to the taller. “I wanna put a label on it so I know where we stand. I wanna know what I should feel if you…you know, still want to see other people or if this is exclusive because I really really like you and I don’t wanna have to stress.” He said, biting on his lip before rolling his eyes softly. “No! thats just a fun night! No…like…dinner, games, shows, picnics, museums, tthat stuff!”

Malcolm groaned like it almost physically pained him to hear the labels. “Look if you wanna say we’re boyfriends or dating, I’m totally cool with that. I can be exclusive.” He smiled, hoping that Roman would be happy with that answer. Truthfully though, he was mainly saying that for himself since he didn’t want to see the boy with anyone else. “We can go on dates, it sounds fun.” 

[cattermoleboy]

Roman tightened at the others groan, all his fears affirmed with the noise. His mouth was down a frown tugging at the usually very optimistic face. "No--no I don't wanna start this off like that. I want you to mean it and stuff. I want you to tell me what you want...not 'can do' but want to"

“I think I see your point. Bubbles is super energetic, way more than the cats. The dogs I’ve been around do seek more of that attention.” Or at least were more forward about it, but he made sure he showed all his pets how much he loved them. “Maybe you’re not then, but you’re still a playing with puppies person?” 

“I love bubbles though! always gives me so many kisses when I come over for a visit.” He said with a little giggle. “Of course, that’s clearly the reason I come over so much. Well, that and I adore your face.”

Dylan smirked and switched drinks with him. “I figured it was a mix up.  Even I can do that much whipped cream in the morning.” He shook his head teasingly. “Crazy barista. Our names don’t even look alike.”

“We must have had our orders one after another, probably just mixed up the cups with the names.” He said with a small smile. “The whipped cream dulls the taste of bitter for me.”

cattermoleboy:

Roman blinked a few times at the little kiss before looking up at him. “Well….labels….what we are going to do regarding the team, who do you want to tell…and…i dunno… a real date?”

“Label?” He raised an eyebrow, moving back so he can look at him better. “I mean, I’ve never really been one to put a label on something but if you really want to I’m cool with that.” Malcolm just shrugged. He was a very go with the flow kind of guy. “I don’t really care what we tell the team, and aren’t dates just watching movies and making out? Think we’ve already got that covered.” 

[cattermoleboy]

“Yeah, like....dating, or fwb, or boyfriends.” He said softly as he looked up to the taller. “I wanna put a label on it so I know where we stand. I wanna know what I should feel if you...you know, still want to see other people or if this is exclusive because I really really like you and I don’t wanna have to stress.” He said, biting on his lip before rolling his eyes softly. “No! thats just a fun night! No...like...dinner, games, shows, picnics, museums, tthat stuff!”

Us. The fact that there was an ‘us’ between the two of them made Malcolm grin. “Hmmm sure,” He hummed, bending over a bit to kiss the boy lightly of the forehead. “What’s there to talk about?” 

Roman blinked a few times at the little kiss before looking up at him. “Well....labels....what we are going to do regarding the team, who do you want to tell...and...i dunno... a real date?”

[ophelia-einar]

cattermoleboy:

“Pick up? So you want to start by tossing me down on your couch then?” He teased lightly.

Malcolm laughed, though his face was extremely red. “I mean, I could.” He grinned. By this point his hands were at the other boys waist, holding him close. Thinking about it, it wouldn’t be extremely hard for him to pick the other boy up in that moment. “But I was more talking about just the making out on my couch part.” 

[cattermoleboy]

Roman couldn’t help the blush he felt when the other wrapped his arms around his waist. “Alright, I can do that...maybe we could also talk a little about...us?” He asked quietly.
