Old Fashion (Colored) Cupcake
It's easy to get tied up in the magic that is Old Fashion Cupcake, so it can be difficult to notice all the colors. That's right! Nozue and Togawa weren't just sharing desserts, but colors because they are color-coded boys men in love!
Flirtatious and confident Nozue is a Red Rascal, and his loyal and trustworthy subordinate Togawa is a Blue Boy.
The series begins with Nozue in blue and barred in because he is feeling gloomy and trapped by his everyday routine.
But when he goes to work, he puts on a dark red tie showing a little of his rebel side by sneaking off to smoke cigarettes and avoiding meetings about promotions, while his solid and reliable Blue Boy comes to retrieve him.
After a meeting with a client, Togawa suggests they try some desserts when Nozue laments on his current woes in the park.
And even though Nozue gets the red-colored dessert, he still feels slightly down.
Togawa recalls when they first met, Nozue, in his bright red tie, encouraged him to embrace life and enjoy time away from work, and he wants to do the same for Nozue now in his time of need.
The next day, Togawa, in a lighter blue tie, suggests they go eat some more desserts together.
And he gives his boss, who is still in a darker red tie, a bright red drink to motivate him to be regain some of his youthful passion.
When they go to the cafe, Nozue wears a bright red jacket, while Togawa wears a blue shirt because Nozue is now remembering what it feels like to look forward to life outside of work.
And as usual, he gets the red dessert.
The two continue to try a variety of (red) sweets together, and Togawa proves his Blue Boy-ness.
He plans all the outings and records all the fun by taking pictures of his crush appreciating his efforts.
And even though still dark, Nozue starts gaining red in more places like the collars of his sweaters.
To show his gratitude to Togawa, Nozue in his light pink tie, takes the ladies from the office to lunch in an effort to ask them about more dessert spots to take Togawa to since Togawa usually plans all their dessert dates. However, Togawa misunderstands the lunch, and sulks in his black tie holding his blue mug until Nozue clarifies what actually occurred.
They continue their dessert dates, with Nozue's red tie being bright, but Togawa is still in his feels, and wears a dark blue tie.
So Nozue invites himself over to Togawa's apartment to cook for Togawa in hopes that he can finally repay Togawa for all the happiness he has given to him lately. Nozue sits on Togawa's blue couch and unknowingly flirts with his underling causing Togawa to lose his cool multiple times.
After parting ways, Nozue texts Togawa, yet believes Togawa is ignoring him. However, unlike his Blue Boy who turns black when sad, Nozue pulls their two colors together the next day and pouts.
When he steps outside, he sees a couple who are color coded just like he and Togawa are (red x blue), which makes him reflect even more on how much Togawa has come to influence his life.
Togawa's presence is requested at a dinner, which Nozue initially objects to since the purpose of the dinner is basically to play as matchmaker for the single employees of the company, but Nozue also attends this time completely blending his and Togawa's color together with his purple tie.
He takes Togawa home, but after Togawa's confession of love, Nozue retreats back into his dark red tie, while Togawa wears his light blue tie since, even though he is hurt, his feelings are now out in the open.
Nozue gets asked again why he won't accept a promotion, and although he is still eating a dessert, it isn't red. Throughout the conversation, he realizes he has changed (because of his time with Togawa), and finally tells his friend that he will think about the promotion.
Later, Nozue goes out with his department in his purple tie, and drinks too much, but Togawa rescues him and sends him on his way after handing him an umbrella.
Nozue realizes that he doesn't want to be sent home. He doesn't want to retreat back to who he was. He doesn't want to be blue and isolated. He wants to be red, and he wants to be with the person who brings that out in him - Togawa!
Nozue takes the promotion, and the two start dating in the brightest versions of their ties colors.
Togawa eventually proposes to Nozue in their respective colors because although Togawa brought out Nozue's color, Nozue helped strengthen Togawa's, and this Blue Boy has always been committed to his Red Rascal.
So Togawa turns his Old Fashioned (Colored) Cupcake into his Old Fashion Husband, and they get to enjoy the sweet life, together.
